    Should I try the upgrade to 5.2.0 english?

    I've got one of those too. Figure if the day comes that I need to know the date, I'll just look at the other camera feeds or the calendar. I'm a little shy to start messing with firmware on my imports. They give video, it is being recorded, the essentials work. And I don't have time for a...

    Using a 2032 "sideways" can I remove or rotate hood?

    Certainly looks goofy to me. No way I could live with that or would be accepted in the family. Personally, I'd go with a dome mounted a bit lower, right side up and live with the normal view. I don't see the bird's eye view as being all that practical. Yes, you're concentrating all the pixels...

    Hik DS-2CD2732F-IS recording and IR question

    Hi Crazyhorse. Mine are doing pretty good, apart from one, which seems to get pushed out of alignment slightly on one side when I tighten the dome. Nothing like the ghost blur or fog. Just that the right side of one cameras image gets pushed out of focus. I need to give it another go to...

    Some installation pics from today

    Thanks for sharing. Looks fantastic. Interesting pole mounts. Any particular brand/model? Do you have to unzip them to get access to the wiring? Looks somewhat open from the bottom, but they've got to be waterproof for the camera dongle.

    AE orders transitting very slowly; 2-3 wks instead of 1 wk

    Just a heads up to others, who may need a product in a certain time frame and count on ePacket shipping for a 1 week CH to US delivery. Doesn't seem like it is happening for the past few weeks. 14 days and counting. Reason unknown according to Julia (from CCTV CH Camera). Had orders from other...

    Camera and placement recommendations?

    Important to note that the inexpensive cameras are fixed, and even those that may be adjustable do not have motorized adjustments. (wouldn't we all wish they did for that price! ) An adjustable camera is typically larger. Motorized even bigger and get into commercial territory, for little...

    Neighbour's tree fell onto my front lawn.

    Thanks for sharing. Interesting that was a live oak branch (not a dead one). Tree in bad shape otherwise? The dirt piled up one foot around the base isn't good by the way. Question: any roof or other damage? It looks like you may have made out ok. Maybe some damage to the front fascia...

    Back with nagging network problem!!

    You do not want dhcp enabled on the second router / ap. If it were me, I'd give the blue iris computer and the router running as access point both a static ip address (if it doesn't have one already), make sure that the camera group of IPs is separated out from the dhcp group. I split...

    Trouble Installing IP Camera - Urgent

    Well, options are limited when there's no reset, aren't many cams & users in the field, so not much if any practical information, ... You didn't mention if: you tried power cycling? Without and then again with ethernet? ... it may pick up an address or default, as it shouldn't accept 0000 you...

    ? on Aliexpress Camera

    @spotco Sorry to jump in ;) I'm liking my 12mm. May get another one or two like it for a wildlife camera covering in the back yard and to keep an eye on a distant storage space. Low height install location looking out horizontally, slightly up hill, in case you're wondering about the angle...

    Trouble Installing IP Camera - Urgent

    I hate poor or non existent product support. Where your message just goes out into space, never to hear an answer. Always surprises me when it happens with sales and even better known companies and small local companies too. No response. Bye bye. Unless of course it is a product that I know...

    IP camera multi-stream to QNAP and broadcast

    Well, I'm not an expert. So, don't think of it as not possible. Just from what I have seen on the subject, that there are two different fields that haven't connected yet. On one hand you have ip cam surveillance, multiple cams, recording to a network video recorder; these days with the abolity...

    To conceal, or not to conceal....

    Sorry to hear about slow police response. I know with all the false alarms, low staffing sometimes, etc that basic alarms are considered a nuisance and priority goes elsewhere. Officers can only do one thing at a time. But. My opinion on that priority differs in that it can be a great community...

    Back with nagging network problem!!

    Sometimes light network equipment gets "hung up" after prolonged activity and a reboot. Is this the first time this happens? Any localized power glitches? Barn? Entire property? Are you using static addresses for any network devices at all? For stability and ease of troubleshooting I prefer...

    To conceal, or not to conceal....

    It is also why I don't have a camera surveillance nor alarm sign out in my yard. Only a small note on the doors. There's a rural property I drive past from time to time, might be something where the owner built a large several bay garage first and will build a house later, or possibly just...

    Camera and placement recommendations?

    12mm is the best one can do inexpensively tele wise. Beyond that you get into varifocal 2.8 - 12mm. Positive being that you can dial in the zoom range as desired and refocus the target zone (fixed cameras may not always have the best sharpness at any given distance but benefit from infinite...

    Camera and placement recommendations?

    That's the thing. Obviously the top goal typically is to be able to ID people who walk up to the vehicles in front of the garage, to your garage, front, side, back doors. Covering farther into the distance is easy in the daytime, but tough at night because infrared light doesn't reach very far...

    To conceal, or not to conceal....

    There's pros and cons both ways. Every person has to decide for themselves ... and while you can analyze and categorize crime/criminals; there is a very random element to it, and then there's desperation. You have people breaking in and robbing commercial places that are known to have...

    IP camera multi-stream to QNAP and broadcast

    Welcome. You probably will end up splitting the tasks. Have QNAP do the surveillance. Then get whichever setup camera & equipment for live broadcasting. See compatible gear: https://ustream.zendesk.com/entries/21537123-Ustream-recommended-encoders Unless, you just want to push videos to the...

    Camera and placement recommendations?

    The great news is that synology now states it has in camera motion detection for hikvision, which takes a load of cpu cycles off the syno. The video motion detection with two cameras was stressing my older ds system. All things considered between getting a new ds, camera licensing * and having...

    Welcome to the forum. Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I bullets are pretty much your best value bet. Run them at 2mp / 1920x1080 for improved wide angle, better performance and some storage space savings. A bit more money for the turrets (eyeball without a dome) and regular domes. Hikvision says they're...

    DS-2CD2232-I5 - IR light is visible

    I also thought that could be a favorable side effect. Looks like more cameras at night. One has to weigh though whether it is worth cluttering up the soffits / install area and then still have a faint red glow, ifbthat is whatbthe op desperstely does not want. I've got a couple things in mind...

    DS-2CD2232-I5 - IR light is visible

    Not an expert, but I think you will find the "invisible" cams to either be (very) short on quality / gimmicky toy quality or (completely) out of budget, in the category of products not sold in retail. And I don't know nor think one can put some 940nm ir lights nearby and turn on board ir off...

    Hikvision IVMS

    Those are some very nice energy upgrades you did. I'm sure it cost plenty, but will be worth it in the long run. The power company does give you a pretty nice overview with the high/low temps, so you can relate to AC use. Ideally in my case with Time Of Use billing, that daily column should be...

    Intel Celeron NUC vs i5 NUC

    Thud, Sorry to cause a lengthy reply. What I tried to say - in general, unrelated to nuc / nvr - was that, when a user (me) 's primary systems are quad Core i5/i7 with fast SSDs and boatloads of RAM, the user (me) gets spoiled by instant/fast boot times, app loading, searches, etc. and that...

    Intel Celeron NUC vs i5 NUC

    Welcome, Mike. Good to hear about your positive experiences with them. I see a bunch of hp midi and micro towers (non ip cam related). Some were open box from a local source (pretty much dried up, I think due to shifts to laptops & tablets & phones, less money is going to traditional...
