    Seculink HD IP Camera

    Otherwise if you're after a bullet style camera you could consider http://www.hikvision.com/en/Products_show.asp?id=8722 or http://www.hikvision.com/en/Products_show.asp?id=7326 Obviously one has more bells and whistles than the other

    Seculink HD IP Camera

    Me personally haven't heard of that brand, and that's not saying it's no good or anything. You could go with it and see how you go but for approxiamtely the same money, you could get a Hikvision off Aliexpress that the majority seem to be using now to good effect. Maybe one of the more...

    Frame rate of recording for HIKVision DS-2CD2332-I

    For me 3MP @ 12fps is more than adequate for what I need it for so I haven't bothered to look into it further. I'd suggest you contact Hikvision support and check with them.

    Frame rate of recording for HIKVision DS-2CD2332-I

    Unsure about the NVR side of things as I don't use one but I have the same bug connecting to a Synology Surveillance Station. What resolution are you recording at? At 3MP I'm also only able to record at 12fps but if I reduce it to 1920 x 1080 (1080P) then I can get it to record at 25fps. hth

    price has really dropped quick...

    Likely not. If they're buying most of their componentry in bulk, I've be surprised to see it cost more than that to manufacturer

    Hik turret install pics

    Unfortunately still not that easy :( You see there's the issue of a big hill inbetween. From my place I can see the top of the hill but the other place sits quite a bit lower and I don't think I'll get the go ahead to suspend a super high mast. I appreciate the suggestions though.

    Hik turret install pics

    Unfortunately I'm going to be 3km down the road. The upbeat is that both places have decent cable so I can just vpn into one from the other.

    Hik turret install pics

    Thanks Paarlberg You've rubbed off on me and my hysteria. :) As we're planning on moving out for approximately 6 months in order to add an extension and renovation to the existing house, I may throw in more cameras so that I can have a complete view of the entire external areas surrounding the...

    POE switches

    I'm using a TP-Link TL-SG1008PE with all 8 ports POE capable. My only complaint with that switch is it uses a small cooling fan which is kind of audible at times. What I would check with getting a larger multi POE port switch would be what the maximum wattage the switch is capable of supplying...

    DS-2CD2732F-IS "mounting base" and "drill template"

    Sorry to hear you're having issues with mounting the camera. I kept my sticker as I'll be needing it to remount the camera again after the renovation/extension. I sat the base of my 2732 on a photocopy of the sticker and made sure it lined up before I used the copy to make and drill out the...

    Remote access to a Hikvision 7600 series NVR

    Hello all A colleague of mine who had also had his work truck broken into decided to install some IP cameras to watch his truck. As he was incredibly computer unsavvy, he opted to go with a Hikvision NVR off Aliexpress along with 3 DS2432F cameras. To his credit he's gotten all the cameras...

    Solar charging / lighting for shed

    Hi Mike With regards to your lighting, have you considered utilising 12v LED lighting and bypassing the inverter? I've used quite a few products from www.superbrightleds.com over the last decade without any major issues. They're not the cheapest out there but the warranty and support is...

    Hik DS-2CD2732F-IS recording and IR question

    I've got 2 of the 2732F-IS installed and the picture quality with IR on is about on par with dalepa's picture although his does look more crisp and clear than mine. I've got no issues with IR bleed or reflection mounted under an eave. In fact the IR is so intense that the plates on a car...

    Hi All Just have a little problem I can't seem to make go away so I'll put it out there and someone might be able to tell me what I've done and how I might undo it.

    What apps do you guys use to access your cameras?

    I use iHik which looks like a rebranded version of iVMS-4500 on phone and tablet to view cameras directly and DS-Cam to access the Surveillance Station module on my NAS.

    Installer price

    Hi Vector18 You are a man after my own heart. I've lost count of the times I've gone to bid for a job only to have them haggle and attempt to crunch down to a lower price. I now refuse to do work for certain races as the effort involved to bid for a job and lose out to some hack lowballing...
