    Camera questions

    I appreciate all the info. This is very helpful. I think I may try the 5542 and see how it works. I have some other areas I'll eventually cover with a cam, so if it doesn't work there, I can try a different spot. Thanks again!

    Camera questions

    Sorry, my bad on the thanks. I'm definitely not an expert on all things forum, which I'm sure is obvious. I've been looking around at Dahua and Hikvision cameras (mostly Dahua) and I'm getting a headache looking at the different models, even looking at just the turrets. I'm wondering if any...

    Camera questions

    I know this might get people yelling at me, but I'm finally starting to set up some PoE cameras around my house. I know recommended cameras are a personal choice, but I'm just trying to see what might be recommended for a home system that will be basically bullet cameras that I will record to a...

    Good iOS app to use with ONVIF cameras

    Their Baby Monitor app I am using on iOS does have PTZ. I never had any issues with it until recently and just on this one camera, so I'm not sure. I did hear back from the contact at TinyCam and all he said was "We do not support the iOS app anymore. I haven't heard about such issues on...

    Good iOS app to use with ONVIF cameras

    There is an app in the appstore called TinyCam from someone named Jianjian Huang, but it doesn't have many ratings and those are not good. I installed it and tried it, but it doesn't pick up any of my cameras with the search and if I use the ip address and port, it still doesn't find it. Might...

    Good iOS app to use with ONVIF cameras

    I apologize if this is not the best place for this, but I didn't see an area for apps unrelated to BI. I was using the Baby Monitor app for all my cameras and it was working great for some time. But for some reason, it just stopped working with one of my ONVIF cameras. I can access the camera...

    Advice for setting up a whole house system

    I know there's a lot out there on these various steps I'm looking for, but figured I'd see if I can get some suggestions/advice. Plus I have seen some good info on some of the stuff I want to do, but figured I'd confirm that is the way to go. I'm trying to set up a whole indoor/outdoor camera...

    Huisun IP camera URL

    I was wondering if anyone could provide me some info on the Huisun mini IP bullet cam. I've had this camera for a while and I was able to view it through the Baby Monitor by Tiny Solutions using ONVIF. I recently upgraded my home automation software and am trying to set up the HomeSeer...

    Question on mobile app for multiple camera types

    Does anyone have any additional thoughts on a good iOSmobile app? I thought I saw somewherethat the person behind Tinycam Pro for android was planning on putting somethingout for iOS at the beginning of this year. Or are there any new apps out there that might work with multiple cameratypes...

    Question on mobile app for multiple camera types

    I guess I should clarify that I would need this solution for iOS. I wish they had a version for the iPhone. Does anyone know why they decided not to go through the App Store, but put out a baby monitor app for the iPhone? Seems odd.

    Question on mobile app for multiple camera types

    Does anyone have any additional thoughts on the mobile app? I tried IP cam viewer but didn't like it at all. The response of the pan tilt function was soooo slow. The Foscam app not even using a Foscam IP cam was still 1000 times better but doesn't have all the cameras. I've been buying apps...

    Question on mobile app for multiple camera types

    I had some luck adding everything to IP camviewer except the Huisun. I did add it a couple ways (generic RTSP url & as a ONVIF cam), and it would show up initially and with the test option, but if I clicked on it and tried to access it by itself, it seems to hang the whole app. And even when...

    Question on mobile app for multiple camera types

    I took a look around and I could only find the Baby Monitor app by Tiny Solutions LLC. I have iOS 9. Is that app just for android?

    Question on mobile app for multiple camera types

    Well, I played around with it for a while and I've actually been able to get it working pretty well. The only one I'm having problems with is the Huisun. I searched the forum, but couldn't find any info on IP camviewer and the Huisun. What is the best way to add that cam? Is there a...

    Question on mobile app for multiple camera types

    I apologize if this belongs in a different forum/sub-forum, but I couldn't really figure out the best place to post this (problem #1 :)). I'm relatively new to the cameras, but I know some networking, etc, and I've been able to get some decent results. Most of my cameras are just for checking...

    Help with Huisun 2mp bullet ip cam

    Thanks. Like I mentioned I'm no expert. I did notice that the Huisun had more port settings that my others. The two pics below are the Huisun network settings and one of my Foscam network settings. Can someone suggest some changes if they are necessary? Or is there something additional to...

    Help with Huisun 2mp bullet ip cam

    Recently I purchased a Huisun 2mp bullet IP cam based on the feedback I saw on here. So far, it’s been a really great camera, but I am having one issue that I’m hoping someone can help me with. I will say I am by no means an expert at this stuff, so I may have done something incorrect, but I...

    Wanscam IP camera issue

    Funny enough, it turns out it was the dome over the camera. It works perfect now. Go figure. One question, I'm guessing this is a particular issue with this Wanscam model (or even just an temp issue with some manufacturing glitch), but is this ever a problem with other dome cameras?

    Wanscam IP camera issue

    I really like the mini PTZ that I saw. I noticed in some other posts regarding the camera (mostly the dome PTZ), it means someone to contact for some details and pricing. Seems to be someone that goes through alibaba, Monica I think? Does anyone have any info on contacting? Thanks.

    Wanscam IP camera issue

    Thanks for the info. I'll look at those options and see what will work best. I was think PTZ because that's what I have now, and I use it mostly for scanning around the yard to several locations both to keep an eye on things and for the dog. I have seen on here where some members have...

    Wanscam IP camera issue

    I appreciate all the info. I've been looking around for some other options for cameras. I looked at the ones mentioned, and they seem really good price/quality, but based on where some of mine are going, I was trying to use wireless. I didn't see any options for those in wireless. I know...

    Wanscam IP camera issue

    That's very true. I'm basically using my cameras for light security and checking on the pets around the house. Is there a camera(s) you would suggest going with? And if so, is there a good online spot to buy them, or just search around?

    Wanscam IP camera issue

    Yeah, that's kinda what I figured. I was just hoping to get some use out of it somewhere rather than scrapping it. I was going to replace it where it was and try use it in a different area just for the heck of it. But that's a good point. I haven't tried it with the dome off. I'll give that...

    Wanscam IP camera issue

    Hi there! I'm a newbie on the site and just started getting into more with the IP cameras I have. Trying to get the most use out of what I've purchased in the past. I know they are a pretty cheap camera, but I've had a couple issues not long after getting it set up. First, during the day, it...
