    Latest Cameras and software

    Batch config works good once I figured it out and I managed to get one of these cameras working fine. It's a DS-2CD2432F-IW. The other one is a DS-2CD2032-I and I can see it on the network but the IP has changed to 192.0.0.64 and the IPv4 gateway has changed to 0.0.0.0 which is not what I set...

    Latest Cameras and software

    I'll checkout that download Not sure what happened to the cameras they just seemed to stop working without any unusual things like power cut etc. I plugged them both in to another working camera cable/POE as a quick check but still didn't work. They did both fail while connected to the same...

    Latest Cameras and software

    Hello It's been a while since I played with my cameras and came on this forum but I had a couple of the Hikvisions fail and need to upgrade a little. I noticed the new generation of IPcams are 8 MP is this essential ? as I think mine are mostly 3MP. Since browser support ended I've been using...

    V5.2.5 and 5.2.0 firmware differences

    Hello The last couple of cameras I bought had firmware 5.2.0 multilanguage and they work fine but now I notice they have V5.2.5 . Anyone know what changes have been made ? I'm recommending these cameras to a friend and I'll need to help him out with settings so I'm a little worried they made...

    nayr's home automation build out...

    Nayr that's all over my head but it looks great ! Can you knock up something similar to the Robot electronics device but slightly different and similar to the http://www.controlbyweb.com/webrelay/ but cheaper !

    nayr's home automation build out...

    Sounds complex to me I like the Robot Electronics device as it has the inputs and outputs but it lacks internal processing power so to can't use it as a standalone device. You can view the status of the inputs ie voltage from the analogue input or on/off on the digitals but it can't even handle...

    Remote Viewing ?

    I have an install to do far away and it's got cable internet so I don't know how often it changes IP . My connection is down a phone line and the IP changes every few days. DynDns seem to have stopped the free account so I guess I'll install a cheap Tenvis camera along with a Hik to inform me of...

    Remote Viewing ?

    Wunderin how you guys view your cameras over the net -Fixed IP ,DDNS or other methods I don't know about ? Up till recently I've been using Tenvis cameras which send an email alert whenever my IP changes so I can log in using that and the port number but the Hikvision doesn't have that facility

    IP Camera set-up without internet

    I was looking at a Texecom alarm system which has an add on GSM box from which you can arm and disarm the system and it sends texts for any events. The panel has outputs which could trigger a camera for recording to SD. Hardwired switces on doors and door handles don't false alarm very often and...

    Not sure what a grain store building looks like but my recent searches in to security systems brought up some pretty good alarm systems with built in SIM cards so long as you have service in the area

    Just ordered Hikvision DS-2CD2432F

    Looks like the audible alert was set on HDD failure so it doesn't like the settings for the NAS i put in there although they tested OK

    Just ordered Hikvision DS-2CD2432F

    It looks like motion as the emails are pumping through which say what the trigger was-I had to reset it back to default

    Just ordered Hikvision DS-2CD2432F

    I tried a few things and the email only sends to one address and not two like they say and the alarm keeps going off even though I unchecked all the audible alert boxes on alarm

    Just ordered Hikvision DS-2CD2432F

    I don't have an SD card about me but I'll get one to try. So it will act as a standalone recording device triggered by the PIR or Motion etc?

    Yes I read a few articles on the subject and my plan is to buy a decent supply for testing and once the everything is deemed OK I can put in a passive unit. I like devices with red warning LED's !

    PoE requirements for HIKvision

    I been going through the network cables tidying/ labeling and installed four Linksys WAP's , I hope the power supplies are good quality as I lost a couple of cheap gigaswitches due to bad 9v AC adapters. Just waiting on my Hikvision to arrive so I can play with PoE , probably buy a decent...

    RJ45 corrosion problems ? and power q's

    I haven't had any problems so far even with the cheap indoor cams mounted under soffits but it only takes a bit of corrosion on the RJ45 connector in the cam to ruin it so a bit of dielectric has to be worth the effort.I guess the best line of defense is physically shielding the camera from the...

    RJ45 corrosion problems ? and power q's

    Yes they sell various PoE stuff too at more reasonable prices. It's been a few years since I used Solwise products and they seem to have moved on a bit. What do you think of the twisted pair data transfer ? They claim 700 meters range over one pair of phone wires

    I was going to ask how much Mbs a camera needs so you answered that -thanks again How about this bad boy a bit pricey but so simple to implement 500mbps with PoE built in Here

    RJ45 corrosion problems ? and power q's

    I noticed some rust on a couple of cables I had lying around maybe because they weren't plugged into anything so I'll invest in some dielectric silicon gel which seems to be the industry standard for electronic connections in damp environments like automotive etc Nayr - I'll be using ethernet...
