    Expand my system with two more cameras

    I have ordered this one to try on the front door. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B072KMVK43/ref=pe_3187911_185740111_TE_item Seems to get good reviews and one reviewer claims it is a Hikvision underneath the hood. I guess I could use it for the workshop if need be, though the 4mm lens might be...

    Ok been running a couple of cams for the last two years initially to see how I got on with them. I am using an old Mac Mini to run the system with the excellent SecuritySpy software which allows me up to four cameras on the existing license. As I said I have two cameras one is a 2MP generic...

    Indoor IP Camera (POE)

    Yes thanks kantzow, I have realised that these cheaper cameras have their draw backs that one being quite low resolution. They are also much harder to set up and dont always play nicely with my secuirtyspy software. I purchased one of these to try...

    NVR - Should I just get one ?

    Well Security Spy is a well designed bit of software and works perfectly on my new iMac. However my 2009 Mac Mini is just not up to job, so I have gone with a dedicated NVR. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00YU6UENI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 Price has come down.

    NVR - Should I just get one ?

    Ok for the last few weeks I have been playing around initially with a cheap Anker indoor web cam and now with the great value clone Hikvision/Huisun PTZ. Now I am hooked :sad2: I am not over concerned about using them for security and got the PTZ for watching wild life in the garden and...

    Mini PTZ camera impressions! 2015 PTZ camera of the year? AVOID THIS CAMERA

    Looks like you are cheaper as well :) Its really annoying I love this camera but getting it to record seems very problematic. I can record directly/in real time by specifying the record path but remote trigger recording when I cant seem to get it to talk to the SD Card or NAS is a pain...

    Can anyone tell me who to get access to the SD card. I have put one in but it does not seem to show up in the iVMS-4200 software ? I wonder if I have put in in upside down ? Jerry

    Mini PTZ camera impressions! 2015 PTZ camera of the year? AVOID THIS CAMERA

    Well turned up. Man these things are hard to get working but once I did (4 hours later) I was pretty impressed. This camera, sourced in the UK, did have the SD card slot when I opened it up which again was a bonus.. Even though I read all this thread I guess I didn't picked up on the fixed IP...

    Mini PTZ camera impressions! 2015 PTZ camera of the year? AVOID THIS CAMERA

    Thanks we run VoIP phones at work with PoE switches. We also have 48v 0.38A power supplies if for the phones if we need them. I wonder if I connected that to the associated pairs on the cable if it would work. I doubt the power supplies would regulate the voltage for the camera demand though so...

    Mini PTZ camera impressions! 2015 PTZ camera of the year? AVOID THIS CAMERA

    Ok having messed around with a few indoor cameras as per my other thread I am hooked. This is fun. I took the plunge and ordered one of these. This is not really for security but more for looking at wildlife (night and day) in my garden and in the woods behind my house. All that said, where I...

    First Time IP Camera User

    Ok did this in a hurry. 750K JPEG image from the Amcrest in pitch black with camera IR lit. Probably not as good as I would have hoped. Maybe I need to change some settings ? :redface-new: Actually looking at other camera night shots its not terrible. I tried the ANNKE again and the...

    I will try and do one tonight. I forgot to set the ANNKE back to factory defaults so will check it again when I do that. Jerry

    Good point. I have packed up the ANNKE to return now so cant check. The pics pretty much look how they appear on the live stream. As I said the Amcrest outputs to BMP over the ANNKE's JPEG and was, I think, over 3-4MB in size before I converted it down to the JPEG at 1.5MB. Jerry

    $99 Amcrest 1080p ProHD from Foscam

    Just got one of these after trying a cheaper ANNKE 720p one, see this thread. Its a good place to start for a novice like me. However now I am hooked, I have my eye on the infamous PTZ IP CAMERA Bullet 10 x zoom 2MP discussed at length on the forum lol. Jerry

    Just got remote access working with the app using p2p. On the smaller (been using the browser on my iMac) iPhone and iPad screen its crystal clear. Very nice :) Am I right in thinking this goes through a cloud server ? Been trying to read through the manual and it seems there are various...
