    What dash cam are you using?

    I have the low priced TBI Pro from Amazon. It works quite well. The 60fps at 1080P is why I bought it.

    What dash cam are you using?

    I have the TBI Pro Dash Cam from Amazon. It’s inexpensive, and the 60 FPS makes a big difference.

    Anyone using Amcrest IP3M-954E bullets?

    I "reverted" back to the September, 2016 software, and the FTP works again. Also, the video files are now saved as MP4 rather than dav. I don't know how that happened, but it's a good thing. I'm still playing with the video detection sensitivity and threshold settings, as well as anti dither...

    Anyone using Amcrest IP3M-954E bullets?

    Smart move by you. I updated to the latest (April, 2017) firmware, and now I can no longer send files to my FTP site. Other than that, and the fact that the camera won't use MP4 for video, it's been OK.

    Anyone using Amcrest IP3M-954E bullets?

    I have the Amcrest IP3M-954E. It's only been two months, but I am happy with it. As was previously mentioned in this thread, Internet connection viewers show it as a Dahua.

    POE camera recommendation

    I hear you. The product was the US version, but a note in the package indicated not to go to HikVision for software updates or tech support. That bothered me also. I have 3 indoor IP cameras that do not freeze while streaming. Two are wireless and one is connected via Ethernet to my router...

    POE camera recommendation

    Thanks. I did check with a different short cable. It's not the wiring. I already returned it via he UPS store. Amazon is great for that. The HikVision picture was beautiful, but the freezing during streaming was a deal breaker for me.

    POE camera recommendation

    The viewers all still freeze when using a wired Windows 10 core i7 laptop. I'm retuning the Hikvision camera to Amazon today. Do you have another brand of ip camera to recommend that will work with Tinycam? I like that viewer. It appears to have the ability to broadcast to my Chromecast, if I...

    POE camera recommendation

    Thanks for the response. I understand what you are saying, but I'm using wired (POE), not wireless. Doesn"t that make a difference?

    POE camera recommendation

    Tinycam viewing my HikVision freezes also. Ipcamviewer scan finds my camera, but video "fails". I have two indoor cameras, a Trendnet and a HooToo. They both work locally on mobile safari on my iPad & iPhone with just an ip address and a forwarded port. They also work with my no-ip DDNS...

    POE camera recommendation

    I'm looking for a 1080p or better POE outdoor camera. I would prefer one that can be viewed on a mobile web browser - iOS and/or Android. I need a wide angle lens (at least 75 degrees) and night vision. Just a stand alone camera, no DVR. $150 maximum. I'm returning a Hikvision to Amazon...

    Hikvision viewers freeze

    Thanks for your advice. The lowest resolution choice was 720. Frames per second lowered to 10. Rebooted. Still freezes during viewing. I'm disappointed with this camera. I may return it to Amazon if I can't find a viewer that works well.

    Hikvision viewers freeze

    My Main Stream settings are: resolution 1920*1080; bit rate variable; frame rate 20; max bitrate 2048; i frame interval 20. My net is FIOS 50/50. I don't have a freeze issue with other indoor cameras. I wish that this camera was viewable on a mobile browser like they are.

    Hikvision viewers freeze

    I have Hikvision DS-2CD2032F-I. Using iOS mobile viewers IVMS or EZVIZ, when viewing live, the view freezes after about a minute or two and I have to close the app and re open it. My reason for buying this camera is for watching for my special needs son's bus to arrive in front of my house...

    Test email doesn't work

    Horseflesh, Thank you so much. You were exactly right about the reason for my email alerts not working. I created a new gmail account specifically for the camera, didn't use the 2 step authentication, and the email is now working! I will eventually learn about the many other available...

    Test email doesn't work

    My mistake, I meant to say that the ipv4 default gateway is the main router's IP address. And yes, the test using the time server from the Internet is successful.

    Test email doesn't work

    I'm not using a DVR. The camera is on the LAN using POE. The DNS server is the main router's IP address. Google's 8.8.8.8 is the DNS IP address. This camera is hard wired via POE to a secodary router that I'm using as a MOCA to Ethernet converter, with wireless disabled. When I test the...

    Test email doesn't work

    That's what I'm using, and I'm sure that my user name and password are correct. I'm baffled.

    Test email doesn't work

    I recently purchased the HikVision DS-2CD2032F-I US version. I was able to perform all needed configuration options with one exception. The email alert test fails no matter which account that I use. My yahoo account reports "test failed". The gmail account says that my user name or password...
