    IPCT 2 MP Starlight IR Fixed Turret Network Camera, 2.8mm, Powered by Night Eye

    I got mine in and installed. My past experience with cameras have been mostly with wireless Foscam. I had set them up at my previous home / barn and they worked ok, but being wireless there were always issues popping up.. We moved last year and I wanted a more reliable wired system and looked to...

    IPCT 2 MP Starlight IR Fixed Turret Network Camera, 2.8mm, Powered by Night Eye

    I also ordered one. I have bought several Dahua cameras over the past year and settled on the Dahua HDW5321 being the best out the bunch (also the most expensive). When I saw this IPCT-HDW5231RE-I and read where it compared to the Dahua model, I ordered one. If it does meet my needs I plan to...

    Verizon Jetpack Connection

    Update: I decided to give Hamachi LogMeIn a try. It works well so far. Need to use it for a few weeks to say for sure, but definitely an alternative to people with no choice by Satellite service. Thank you.

    What Cradlepoint router are y'all using that accepts a sim card?

    Verizon Jetpack Connection

    Thanks for all the feedback. I like the idea of the cradlepoint and the hamachi / ngrok. Does the hamachi ngrok offer a way to view it on your mobile device or is it PC only?

    Verizon Jetpack Connection

    I have moved to a rural area where only Satellite or Verizon MiFi is an option for internet service. I have 6 Dahua cameras setup in our barn and need access to them remotely. They work great on my LAN. A little research shows satellite service is not an option for port forwarding so... I have a...

    Network cable termination

    I'm new to making my on cables, tried a several different standard connectors and never was happy with any of them in the end. I was using a good quality Klein crimper too. I finally tried these PASS THRU CONNECTOR with this Klein Tools VDV226-110 CRIMPER and feel much better about my connections.

    Please Help Setup IPC-HDW5231RP-Z

    Thanks for the help. I was able to change my PC ip address, then connect to the camera and change the ip address on the camera. I had to go back and enable DHCP on my PC to connect to the internet. Now working on making camera visible on the web.

    Please Help Setup IPC-HDW5231RP-Z

    Background; I have installed and setup sucessfully several Foscam cameras in the past. I used Blue Iris for my software. I have now moved to a new home and wanted to install a "better" camera system leaving my old one behind. After doing a lot of reading here on ipcamtalk I decided on going with...

    Wi-Fi Direct?

    I will check my router and hopefully track the usage. Is there a way BI can tell you how it is connected? I'm only halfway through my monthly billing cycle and already at 145GB. I do very little Netflix streaming, etc... and the increase was very noticeable after my cameras went active. I have...

    Wi-Fi Direct?

    I'm assuming it is because of the increase in data usage, considering I don't view "out of LAN" that often. Maybe I don't completely understand the proper setup. The way I have BI setup on my mobile device is; The local ip with port number and below that the external ip with port number. Does BI...

    Wi-Fi Direct?

    I have several Foscam cameras up and they are working great with BI. My main problem is data usage. I have a 250GB monthly limit with my service provider and I am worried I will reach that this month. 95% of our camera viewing is on mobile devices with range of our home LAN, but the way things...

    Hi, I'm new to the DIY security cameras and recently installed 3 wireless FOSCAMS (2 Outdoor and 1 Indoor). I went wireless due to the distance between the cameras and my house. I used a Ubiquiti M2 to give me access to the cameras. No real problems so far and having fun installing and...
