Attached is a copy of my wsus ring camera in day time. It’s only a 720p but day time pics are ok. Night time are horrible!

Hi mike, I’m concerned about the 2mp element. I was mainly looking at 4K cams. If I grab one of yours and the image isn’t as clear as I want would you accept a return?

wow, tough call really! i want high def daytime and clear night time. lol

thanks, but is 2mp really enough in this day and age, it seems so low def. 1080p at 10-15m is a blur

what an excellent reply, thanks that link helped massively! i wish i knew about that tool when i first installed my crappy ones! my ideal price is about £100-£130 per camera and after using the tool it has been narrowed down to about 200 cameras, so now it a task of finding the cheapest! it...

Ok, I think with my budget and requirements that maybe a stretch to far, it’s just home security and that of my neighbours that I’m interested in. I will pick out some cams from AliExpress and post back for thoughts if that’s ok.

Thats great help, Thanks. I will upload a picture in the morning of the daylight. I want ideally to capture a license plate in daylight at around 20m i know this wont be possible at night time but i would like to be able to see and recognise a face at 10m in darkness. for this reason i have been...

Thanks Mike, I am in the UK so i dont think this applies to me, unless you have a UK seller account to avoid all the taxes etc? Also, would this be good enough for what i want, 2mp and 2.8mm? i need recognition in low light at a distance of around 8 - 10m

Hi, I am looking for a new camera to replace the very cheap one i have at the front of my house. A picture speaks a thousand words so attached is a screen shot of the view at night time. The area is very dark but i have lights on the floor pointing up at the house, these are blinding the...

Hello, I am looking for opinions on these cameras and the software that comes with them. We are looking at replacing the cameras in the car park and I have seen these. We need to be able to read a license plate at around 100m. instead of putting several low end cameras in we would prefer to...

yeah price isnt really that important. getting it right is. We have companies who come in and say they will do it for us but the current system is only 3 years old and is frankly garbage! wanted to get some advice from you guys then i can look at what suppliers are saying and see what tallies up!

Hi, Where I work we have in the region of 25 cameras. They are a mixture of indoor and outdoor, DVR and record to NAS and camera with on board SD card. The reason it is like this is because it has grown over time. We are looking at replacing the whole system with a single system with a single...

Hi, Has anyone ever used any of the Meraki cameras? I have the MV21 on trial at the moment and I am really disappointed. The software side of things is fine, its controlled from the Meraki interface very clean and tidy. Easy to use, a little bit lacking in options but the basics are there...

thanks, i really appreciate the help. here is a link to my cams https://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php/12299-Camera-Bitrate?p=111065#post111065

Thanks. I read that but I can't seem to find the url to get a web interface on my cameras. I have used the iPhone app that came with the cameras (apcam) and set the preset positions but can't seem to transfer them to the blue iris app. i have tried http://ip:5000 and 554 with /onvif and /onvif1...

Help (again) I can't seem to set preset positions in blue iris. I have read the manual and I can see it says to press and hold to set the preset position but for the life of me it doesn't store. Any one else have this problem?

Thanks, I would love to say it all makes sense but it doesn't, what I have noticed is the video footage playback isn't very smooth, I would like to make it smoother. When using the free provided crappy software it's smooth and a higher quality when using blue iris it's like watching a to show...

Hello, I am new to the camera stuff, still in my first week. I was filling looking at some of your camera configurations and i noticed that you all seem to have cameras with bitrates in the thousands. My cameras bit rates are around 150 each (3 in total) My question is, is the bitrate...

Hi, I changed the setting to 5000 but that didn't work either. in the end i deleted the cameras that didn't work and re-added them and now they work! very odd! must be something in the discovery process. Thanks all for your help though

Yes a very good catch. I will test that as soon as I get home tonight. Thanks for your help, you too Pozzello

here we go mate. thanks again for help, this is the working camera this is the non working camera all cameras ptz work with official app but only 1 works with blue iris. thanks. also may be worth mentioning that the zoom and focus dont work either, i use generic setting for the cameras...

hi thanks for getting back to me, I tried that, the camer goes in to the main screen so it is the active camera, the ptz buttons light up but when I press them I get nothing on any of the cams except the one I set up first. when I use the provided (crappy) app, apcam all cams and ptz work :(

Any help? am I the only one with this problem? i have another site with 3 identical iEgeek cameras, all set up identical, the one i set up first PTZ works no problems but the other 2 dont, same problem different site, is this me?

Hello from liverpool folks.

Hi folks. I have just set up Blue iris software and have 3 amcrest 1080p cameras and 1 Samsung Smart cam. the Amcrest are PTZ cameras. When i use the PTZ arrows only 1 camera moves, does any one know how I can select the active camera for the PTZ controls? Many thanks.
