Is it possible for IPC-HDW4631C-A to record video to NAS or a USB drive attached to my router without any NVR or PC?

I bought 2cd2020f-i for around $60. I already tried that. The connector works fine if you supply an external 12v power. The POE board is toasted.

I had a hikvision ds-2cd2020f-I installed on my front gate. It wasn't the best camera but it did the job ok. Due to heavy rain recently, the POE stopped working. When I power it with a 12V it is detected but direct POE connection doesn't work which means the POE board likely fried. I am now...

Model number?

I am looking for a starlight camera (under $100) for my front door. I will be buying it of eBay or Ali as I live outside US. - Should have built in micro SD slot - POE I don't care much about verifocal or other face detection features. For around $65 I can get the HDW4631C-A but it doesn't...

I am looking for a cheap indoor ip camera with built-in microsd card storage. I don't have internet access at the location where i am planning to install it. If i choose a wifi camera, do i still need a router or local network setup to access the onboard storage? What about accessing the same...

Re: Using POE IP camera as a peephole camera at the main entrance with a video monito How about using 7 inch winbook tw700 ($59) or 8 inch winbook tw801 ($99) that runs windows 8.1 and has a full size USB port? You can use USB to LAN RJ45 ethernet adapter ($3 on ebay) to connect your camera?

I do have DS-2CD2132F-IS with 2.8mm lens but the unit is a bit bulky for a 6 feet high wall mount. Maybe a super mini pinhole camera is better and cheaper option?

Please suggest a good high res IP camera (preferably smaller form factor) for my front gate with a wide angle field of view, is water proof and has onboard storage. Built-in sound and/or speaker will be great to have . The camera will be mounted at a max height of 5-6 feet. I am looking at...

I still think there should be a way around it. I don't really need the whole thing to be WiFi. Maybe a custom solution like an IP camera with two way audio and builtin speaker and a door button when pressed sends a push notification to your smartphone and ring the chime as well (in case you miss...

@gearbest: That ACTOP doorbell is available for $115 at aliexpress. Even if you sell it for less than that, i am still not sure if the unit is reliable. Do you have any video samples of its 0.3MP camera?

It will be nice to have a 1.3 or 3M hikvision camera with two way audio and a built-in speaker. DS-2CD2432F-I or DS-2CD2432F-IW will do the trick but they are not waterproof which is a must in my case. I will also need a way to unlock the door remotely.

My samsung doorlock isn't z-wave compatible either. By wired solution, do you mean a regular video doorbell intercom with indoor display? would you care to share your experience with skybell and how is it unreliable?

I already have power and ethernet wire connection. This setup is for my steel front gate where there will be an electric lock (http://www.viro.it/Pagine/Menu.asp?Lingua=EN&Divisione=Ferramenta&Fam=5) and am not sure such locks are zwave compatible. Can you suggest a reliable solution?

I received it last week but i haven't installed it yet as my house is currently being built. You need to have a POE switch or 12v power adapter as it does not come with any. I tested the camera and had some issues viewing the live feed initially but it works fine now. I need to test all the...
