Set up a Hikvision DS-2CD2212-I5-4MM in my back yard today as a test and a flock of black birds (grackles) happened to pass through. Pulled this shot out of the footage.

I purchased a 2212 1.3mp EXIR bullet to install looking over our small parking lot at work. Have to say, if you don't mind the bigger size, the dual EXIR night performance is really excellent. I'm considering purchasing additional cameras of the same model and was wondering something if anyone...

I get it by now that you don't like Foscam or wifi cameras. I own Hikvision cameras and prefer them when the application fits. I will likely use them out there once I run cat5. This is going out in the back of a 2 acre property with no building structures to protect either of those two types...

Foscam direct had a sale this week on the FI9900P for $125. I had hoped to get cat5 run underground out into the yard (wildlife cam) before winter but not looking like it's going to happen. So I bit and ordered an FI9900P to use out there via wifi short term this winter. Looking forward to...

The FI9900P looks like a real good option for a wifi camera with 1080p and decent night vision. Also supports an SD card although it apparently requires you to disassemble the camera. The wifi connectivity issues people are complaining about worries me a bit though. I have had no issue with my...

That did the trick. Basically all you need to do is http://x.x.x.x:port in the address bar of IE. Just add the http:// in front. I did have to change some of the ActiveX settings under Security in IE. So I was able to change the frame rate down to 1 FPS as I was hoping. Strange there is no...

I updated the camera firmware and web interface which didn't help but think I figured out the actual problem. It's browser based. Reading the manual, it will not show the FPS settings on the main page in Chrome or Firefox. It should in IE but when I try it on IE 11 it just goes to a bing...

Hmm..my interface does not show these unless I am doing something wrong. I will attach screenshots of the only two pages I can see. One is the home page it goes to first when you log in (with video preview). The other is the page I go to if I click on 'Device Management' from the home page...

I have a Foscam FI8905W I have used around the house for a couple years without caring much about the frame rate. However I'm going to be setting it up at a remote site with limited bandwidth and would like to crank it way down to like 1 FPS. The manual online mentions many choices that should...

I personally use Afraid DDNS service at my house. It's free but I have to confirm the account every 3 months and it's always worked fine. However I am setting up another location (our cabin) that is using Verizon DSL and an Actiontec combination modem/router provided by Verizon that does not...

Not arguing that point at all but unfortunately necessary for this application - at least short term. (not my house but I will have access to the cam) And although I wire everything I can, wifi can serve a purpose in a pinch. I stuck a wifi Foscam out at the very edge of my wireless signal in...

Thanks. Yes that is one to consider. The options sure are slim sadly.

Anyone have any suggestions for outdoor cameras that are both wifi capable and have an SD card slot? Having trouble finding that combo in something outdoor rated. Thanks

Is this under Advanced and then the Motion Detection tab? I see the Arming Schedule under there but nothing mentioning continuous recording.

Still making more progress. Tried Windows 7 with Firefox and the files are going to the default folders so far so good. I'm able to pull down files remotely via the browser interface as well. So that is good. Where is the option in the interface to enable continuous recording to the SD card...
