    Why I have cameras

    Caught this sleaze ball testing the door handles on every car on the street last night. Actually there were two of them. Another slimeball was on the other side of the street but I don't have enough clarity for it to be of any use. The idiot is smart enough to not leave finger prints but blindly...

    Has anybody been able to get sound from a DS-2CD2532-IS camera purchased recently from CCTV-China? Mine is from Nov 2014. No audio in live view or during recordings. I have tried all of the audio encoders and the cam is set to stream video & audio. :sad: There seems to have been a few threads...

    Hey everyone I would like to install about 3-4 cameras outside of my house. I am pretty new to the world of IP cameras but I have been reading post after post the past few months trying to take it all in. I am a weekend photographer and my day job is designing EO/IR turrets mounted on aircrafts...
