Any experience with Sricam SP012 720P and Blue Irirs?

I have two of them coming on the slow boat from China. Need to swap out a couple of old 640x480 cams for a little bit more res.

Any way I had gotten the install processes down pretty good for the old style cams. But the last two H264 cams I installed are working. But I dont really know why or how.
I just kept trying different configs until one worked.

Sricam is bottom barrel and should be avoided at all costs... you should be able to select that camera or similar from the drop down or use the find inspect option.

Thanks!! I will give it a try. I figured for $25 each and free shipping they cant be top O the line. But the other cheap cameras I have all work well enough for my needs.

I was able to sort of get them running.
But your right POS camera. Although they did send the wrong ones. They sent SP005's instead of theSP012's as ordered.
Even so at 720p it looks worse than the 640x480 cam that it is to replace. For $25 i will use them as a place holder until I get the ones I want.

That's the thing cheap 720p or 960h is really bad, the only people who say it's amazing have upgraded from 420TVL!

Can you send back for a refund?

That depends. I am sure I can send them back. but they came on the boat. I wont be paying return shipping.
I would just keep them for round out coverage.
I am running cat5 wire to a couple of out buildings and adding some switches. I will always have a spot to stick a cheap O camera.
The one main camera I want to find is 2mp 5xzoom ptz. Lots of them out there but the cost is higher so I want to buy a better one.

Huisun 2MP 10x is about 160usd all in.

Thats not bad actually. That was about the price of the 5 x ones I looked at and most reviews stated it was actually 3x.
Sneaky little buggers.

 

[Del Boy]

I've never seen a 5x. 3x, 4x, 10x, 16x, 20x but never 5x!

Here is a 5x one. One guy tested the zoom and he said it was 3x not the stated 5x.

Not buying that one.
That Huisun 2MP 10x looks like a pretty good deal. Should give me just what I need. I have one spot that has diferent places to watch at different times of the day/ Night.

 

[Del Boy]

That is cheap but crap.

Huisun is relatively cheap and proven. I bought one after months of umming and arrggghhiing.

[Del Boy]

We really need a sticky pointing out that these "PTZ" cameras are complete pieces of crap.

 

[SatxCowboy Moore]

BI tech support wants me 2 pay 4 priority support.........
cause tha email is slow and dont make sence.........
figure i wilkl jes delete BI & tale a loss !!!

 

[Del Boy]

I would bin the Sricam and take a loss. It's $20. BI is worth more than that.

If your emails were anything like your posts here then I could understand why he could not communicate with you.
There are several threads discussing how to setup the ptz...
What are you going to use instead of BI, the crap software the sricam came with? lol...
