    Purchasing first Hikvision for Outside (DS-2CD2332-I)

    bp2008 - thanks for the snap shots form the camera. This actually gives me a better indication of what I will be expecting from the camera. I see the camera in the far right and one in the middle. I am surprised by the picture quality. The crappy D-LINK DCS-930L pictures are nothing near...

    Purchasing first Hikvision for Outside (DS-2CD2332-I)

    Thanks for the advice. I never thought of printing out a map of the house and indicating where the cameras would go! I am definitely going to do this! :) Thanks! You mentioned you have the IR tuned off. Does the IR not work well on these cameras or did you do it to obtain lighting from...

    Purchasing first Hikvision for Outside (DS-2CD2332-I)

    Hello All, I am purchasing my first Hikvision (DS-2CD2332-I) 2.8mm for outside. I found a really cool IPVM Calculator that shows the differences between the various lens. For those of you that have or used the DS-2CD2332-I, how and where did you mount it outside? I am trying to get some...

    Anyone recently purchased cameras from CCTV CAMERA CHINA

    Thanks for the clarification. The vari-focal camera is designed to operate at various focal distances. Does the DS-2CD332-I have the ability to have vari-focol? Are there specific camera models that are vari-focol?

    Anyone recently purchased cameras from CCTV CAMERA CHINA

    I have been searching around on eBay to see what the prices of Hikvision cameras are going for. I found a DS-2CD2332-I 3MP for a decent price. However, there is an option for lens size, 2.8mm( 4mm,6mm, 8mm,12mm optional). I am guessing it comes stock with a 2.88mm. What is the normal lens...

    Thanks for the info. I keep seeing/hearing recommendations for Blue Iris. I will have to look into purchasing a copy of it. The software will give me complete control of the camera to setup motion pictures and videos?

    Thanks for the info. I have been reading online and the one issue people are having with the sellers from China and Hong Kong on eBay are the firmware. Do you happen to have any issues with the firmware and is it in English? I found a few cheap ones on eBay, but not sure if it is English...

    It must be D-link and their camera. I setup the throw away account, adjusted the Email interval, and adjusted the sensitivity. I received the test email, but I am not receiving any motion emails. What camera do you recommend switching to for home security? Foscam?

    Great! Thanks for the information. I just created the account and allowed less secure apps. Also, you can adjust the time period for inactive accounts and what happened. Check it out: https://www.google.com/settings/account/inactive

    Interesting... I didn't realize the "300 Seconds". I will need to adjust it to 0. I want to be emailed anytime a motion is detected. I have messed with the sensitivity before; I will adjust it higher to see if it makes a difference. Just be clear, you have no issues with using both sender...

    Thanks for the information bp2008. Could you please elaborate more of the two account (one for sending and one for receiving)? I am not fully sure what this means. I am confident the WiFi is not the issue. I have used both hard wire and WiFi; both are producing the same results. I just did...

    Hello Community, I am new to IP Cam Talk and to using IP Cams. I currently have a D-Link DCS-930L Wireless IP Cam (I know it's not the greatest, but it is a start!:D). I setup my email address for motion detection, but it seems sporadic. I have adjusted the sensitivity up and down to see how...
