Hi Alex, I'm having a similar issue with a Hikvision 2432. Camera set to 30 fps and viewing via pc has no choppiness. Viewing via TinyCamPro only yields 1 fps max and I don't have 'power safe mode' checked. Additionally, the Hik-connect app has no choppiness, although video quality is...

Update: I reduced to 15 fps and got rid of the stutter via computer viewing. However, I still had stutter when viewing via tinycam app on phone. When I enabled low bandwidth profile on app, all stutter went away. Interestingly, movement is detected quicker via tinycam app now vs. online...

Thanks! Sounds like fps is the driving variable. I'll trial/error that first and go from there.

Thanks, Klasipca. My current out of box settings are: 30 fps, 1920x1280 resolution and max bit rate of 4096. I'll lower fps and bit rate, but do I lower resolution as well? My current router is a standard UVerse gateway, but I'm upgrading to the T-Mobile CellSpot, so hopefully I get some...

I ended up purchasing an unbranded 2432 2.8mm from CCTVONE via Amazon. Baby is still a couple weeks away (hopefully) so I have a bit of time to learn about networking/port forwarding. Before I do that, I'm trying to tweak settings for the best possible picture w/o stutter, which I'm...

Thanks to everyone who participated in this thread. You gave me a lot to think about, but I plan to go with the 2.8mm 2432 as it seems the most versatile. Without concrete data, I'll either disable IR and use night light or place camera behind baby so he isn't staring at the sensor. I'll...

I'm leaning that way right now -- seems like the more popular cam (the 1.3 is harder to find) and more flexible down the road. I think mounting in the top corner to left of trees is going to be too far to hear the baby. I don't want to permanently mount near the crib; does anyone make a...

Two cams is an option, but I'd prefer to pick one that makes the most sense. We're using an Angel monitor for breathing, so just need to tell wife we don't need that with a camera.

OldStyle, how far away is your camera from subject (baby)? I'd rather not permanently mount, but I'd be about 10' away -- sound may not work that well.

This is a good point, thank you. We do have an angel monitor -- my wife is just being extra cautious.

Thanks, fenderman. I am considering disabling the IR. I'll look into 1 or 2mp versions as well.

Thanks Del Boy. That is where I was planning to place the cam, but then I started worrying about baby staring into IR. My other thought was to mount it on left side of room. It would be ~14' away from baby from an angle vs. 8' straight on. I like the idea of seeing the whole room, but will I...

I'm a complete noob to the security camera world, but I like the Hikvision 2432 based on all the positive reviews. However, I have a couple questions before buying. Below is a photo of my work-in-process nursery from outside of the door. The room is approximately 11' wide x 13' long. I...
