    Hi Does anyone know how to setup redundant recording to an SD card within cameras such as Hikvision DS-2CD2142FWD-I 4MP WDR Fixed HD Network IP Dome Camera US English Version 2.8mm or ACTI E73? I'd like to have this in case my Milestone server is stolen or stops working. I've looked around...

    Recommendation on SF Bay Area ISP

    Hi, I'm getting unreliable internet speeds from ATT Uverse. The price is also double that of promotional rates available from xFinity. For the price I am paying, I'm supposed to be getting 18mpbs. For the same price, I can get 150mbps from Xfinity. I realize this is only for one year, then...

    How to export video

    Go to the SmartClient and there should be an export button at the top right of the screen. You select a time range and you can export to whatever location you want. A Google search will turn up the specific instructions that you might find more helpful the first time around.

    Best place to buy Milestone lic?

    As other members have mentioned the 8 camera version is free now. If you do have to go beyond this, I would suggest reaching out to the folks at Wrightwood. They might be a bit more expensive than other places you can buy the licenses, but still competitive and well worth it for the excellent...

    Remotely Booting a Milestone Server

    How do you guys reboot a Windows based Milestone Server and Netgear POE remotely? I have been having various problems when I travel such as the entire system not being accessible (unsure if this was due to a windows update) or a specific camera with a dropped connection that is always fixed by...

    Difference Between Hikvision/LTS and AXIS, Vivotek, and ACTI

    A few years ago when I first started putting cameras on my house, there was a noticeable difference in build and camera quality between the likes of Axis/ACTI and Hikvision that justified the price difference. Today, I can't really tell the difference in picture quality on your basic dome camera...

    Good sensor for gate

    I wish alarm companies would come up with outdoor rated wireless sensors. Many burglaries happen via unlocked side gates.

    Just starting out - Concerned about Hikvision Support/avoiding problems

    If you'd like support for Hikvision products, then I'd suggest buying Hikvision or LTS (rebranded Hikvision) at a higher priced via local authorized or online resellers such as (B&H, Wrightwood, etc.) I have had good personal experience with Wrightwood. Yes, the prices will be higher than what...

    Camera Recommendation and Placement for Hoodies

    How have you guys solved for people being able to evade cameras with the use of hoodies? I guess I could mount another camera facing upwards, but it isn't very aesthetically pleasing and could be vandalized more easily. Thanks!

    Need Recommendation on New NVR (Currently Using Milestone on Dell Win7 box)

    Thanks for all the help everyone! The system idle process seems to be taking all the memory. Who knows that that is all about. A security installer put all of this stuff in for me (no longer in business) so I don't have the background or the CD's needed to reinstall Windows. I'll eventually...

    Need Recommendation on New NVR (Currently Using Milestone on Dell Win7 box)

    Thanks! I just looked at my Milestone server (I don't use it for anything else) and it appears CPU usage is 1-5%, but there is high memory usage (3.5 out of 4gb of memory being used). What might be causing this and is there anyway to remedy this?

    Hikvision Turret Stuttering Image on Remote Milestone App Only

    I'm unsure if this is a camera, VMS, or bandwidth issue. The problem is I just added a 4th camera to Milestone 2.1. My ACTI E73 cameras are working fine and have been for a few years. When I added a 4th camera (Hikvision Turret) to the system, the image stutters on the Milestone remote viewing...

    Milestone Remote View App Not Working on Local Network

    Thanks fenderman. This is what it is. Any idea how to include the local ip address so I can also use the mobile app to view cameras when at home vs. having to switch wifi off?

    Need Recommendation on New NVR (Currently Using Milestone on Dell Win7 box)

    My current NVR is a Dell box running windows 7 and Milestone. I'm happy with Milestone, but it seems like 24/7 recording of 4 5MP cameras is taxing the CPU to where playback on the NVR and remotely is unacceptably slow. When remotely viewing, the Hikvision Turret image is stuttering. Image to...
