    What is a decent IP cam for my budget?

    Yep. thanks for all that. :) p.s. So what would you advocate - a system centred on a pc or a system centred on an NVR?

    What is a decent IP cam for my budget?

    Well thanks for that - it's news to me about the ability of pc's to run 24/7/52. I've lost two Asus motherboards due to fan failure - onboard fans they were. To be fair the Asus software notified me they were on the way out and I didn't react quick enough. And I've had another two at least...

    What is a decent IP cam for my budget?

    HI. I don't know about push notifications. I haven't got a smart phone. Well I do but I never use it. I find I've got two Foscams still running. Spotted another one here today. Just saying. Also got 3 that died. :) Big thing is storage I think. No matter what the cameras see or how well...

    What is a decent IP cam for my budget?

    No mention here of Ispy. It's a free Blue Iris. I was able to get connections via Ispy when my Blue Iris wouldn't make one. And Contacam. I used for a long time. I could make connections with it that Blue Iris and Ispy wouldn' t make. I actually had more pleasure and smooth ability with...

    Can You See Grid Connect Cams Across the Web?

    We have a very cheap 'Orion' IP cam that uses Grid Connect and our home Wifi Lan. Works fine. Good picture. sound a bit horrible though. But that's okay. The thing is we'd want to see it from outside the home. The instruction thing doesn't give this a mention. The box says 'See and speak...

    These Bunnings Orion Things Alright?

    oh yes, I finally woke up. adapts the 3 pin power to a usb socket things can plug into instead of into a computer? yep. can do that. Actually already got a cam doing that. I just go brain dead sometimes. :)

    These Bunnings Orion Things Alright?

    oh. okay. I guess like you say at that price I ought to give it a go. Have you got any knowledge of that power input question I raised?

    These Bunnings Orion Things Alright?

    Are these things okay? What about the power? It seems to be saying it is supplied with power via a USB cable which can be plugged into any type A port. So that means it has to be powered from your computer? Or I have to find a power supply - a wallwart - that has a usb socket? That's not...

    Can We Move Through Recorded Videos with One Keypress?

    The only way I can find to view my recorded videos (motion captured) is to close down the last one, click on the next one. I'd like to be able to use the left and right arrows keys, for instance, to run through the them and stop at one I want to see. Does it offer that functionality anywhere?

    I Need Help With Ispy, Please. :)

    Thank you for that. Got rid of it. It wasn't listed in services but I couldn't delete the files and I found it was listed in Task Manager as a couple of background processes. Stopped them and got it out. Excellent. :)

    I Need Help With Ispy, Please. :)

    I have two Onvif Wifi Sricams. One of them is seen by my Ispy installation on one of my computers. The other one is seen by nothing and I am trying to set up Ispy on a second computer and use it to see it. But I got sidetracked by the advertising and installed this Agent thing instead and...

    How To Know IP of Cameras Installed on iSpy?

    It begins to look to me like the way it works is they have a central place that all involved cameras log in to. We log out cameras into it via the ispy software. then to connect remotely we do that again somehow. I can't find out how. They don't say. But probably by loading this software...

    How To Know IP of Cameras Installed on iSpy?

    no problem. I am familiar with port forwarding. the thing I'm after now is just what URL to put into a remote pc to view my cameras here. ispy doesn't say. I see ispy when setting up my account forwarded 63348 so I tried myip:63348 but it couldn't connect. ispy also says its software is...

    How To Know IP of Cameras Installed on iSpy?

    very succinct. and very helpful. thank you very much for that. can you help with another one? how do I access these camera from afar - from a different pc in a different town? Given I have a fixed IP here and have port forwarding. Sricam say it cannot be done except with their smartphone...

    How to access remote Onvif camera with iSpy?

    What's the URL to access a remote Onvif camera from iSpy and how must the port be forwarded on the lan where the camera is?

    How To Know IP of Cameras Installed on iSpy?

    iSpy doesn't display the IP information of the cameras installed on it. I look at the streamed image and right click for edit details but there's nowhere I can see what the config of that particular camera is: IP and port and whatever... but especially simply the IP. Is there some way to do...

    Any Help/Manual/Replacement For My NVR?

    I have this anonymous NVR I got a couple or more years ago. I never learned how to use it really. It has been sitting there saving the output from a wired in Dahua. I could never get it to see my wifi Dahau, nor any of my other cameras. Seems to me it won't see anything except what is...

    What Else Can See What Ispy Can See?

    I just got two wifi sricams up and running. Thanks to a lot of help. But now I can see both of them in iSpy. But I also have Contacam, Blue Iris, Sricam's own CMS and Onvif device manager - none of which can see the cameras. And iSpy doesn't help by not allowing us to see the configuration...

    How Can I Make A Wi-Fi Cam Appear on Wifi When It Only Appears When Wired?

    Done it. All over. Found a sricam page that told me what to do. Quite simple. Use their cellphone app and set the network. I'll put the link for reference anyone else trying to sole the same thing. sricam wifi setup

    How Can I Make A Wi-Fi Cam Appear on Wifi When It Only Appears When Wired?

    thanks for those clues. i've got to wait now. i went back to the sricam smartphone app and connected with it again (via the ethernet) and if offered to update the software so I said yes... and it downloaded stuff and told me this might take 10 minutes and then did nothing at all after the...

    How Can I Make A Wi-Fi Cam Appear on Wifi When It Only Appears When Wired?

    I just finally successfully connected a Sricam via an emulator, their app, iSpy, the router and an ethernet cable. Just one thing wrong: when I disconnect the ethernet the camera disappears. Back in the days when I was setting up foscams I used to set their IP's and passwords via ethernet...

    Can I get some help with Sricam SP007?

    DONE! Thank you for your help. The secret was indeed 'setting up' with their app. Looks like. I got an emulator and downloaded and ran the app. It found the camera (after I gave it the ip) and had me change the password. that was very encouraging - that it was engaged so much that it was...

    Can I get some help with Sricam SP007?

    p.s. can't edit I think? forgot to mention yes it is on the same subnet. 192.168.0.219 is the camera if I'm reading what happens on the router correctly and my own IP is 192.160.0.182

    Can I get some help with Sricam SP007?

    Hi, thanks for the tip about the emulator. I'm in touch with sricam but they're slow to respond. the last thing to sent me was a suggestion to use the smartphone app - after I'd already said I don't have one - and I replied I don't have one and that was four days ago - nothing but silence...

    Can I get some help with Sricam SP007?

    thanks for that but unfortunately i think we've been there and done that by now. I have no smartphone but I've got a few apps on the pc here, contacam, ispy, blue iris, sricam pc - and more - they all scan for cameras and none find it. And the router itself is accessible to me and it doesn't...

    Can I get some help with Sricam SP007?

    It says 'can't reach this page'. I've been thinking - I've a vague memory of something - that IP couldn't be a second IP also pointing to the nvr could it? Tried another prog: camylitics - I don't really know how to use it but I couldn't get it to see the camera either.

    Can I get some help with Sricam SP007?

    Thanks for that. I did all that. My router interface doesn't show a 'dhcp clients' panel but it has a gui that shows connections both wired and wifi. On the wired connections I had three before and I identified two of them easily enough as my NVR and my Router ( a second router in bridge...
