OK, I figured it out. The cam in question gets quite a bit more activity than the other ones, and the traffic is it sending video clips back to the server PC. I don't know how to distinguish between traffic within the network and traffic in and out of then network, I am sure there is a way...

OK, I just did a 'deep packet inspection' on my network homepage and it says traffic is to 'Unknown'

I don't know, how could I find out? I am not very sophisticated about this obviously...

I don't think it's very different. Specs are 4 MP, etc https://www.securityinformed.com/hikvision-ds-2cd2342wd-i-ip-camera-technical-details.html The difference in network traffic magnitude is nearly 1000 times higher.

I have 6 IP cams on my LAN, managed by a Ubiquiti USG 3P/Cloud Key router and running a Blue Iris server on my PC. One of my IP cams has high network traffic that I can see on the Unifi console, showing typically 3-5 Mbps 'network traffic' continuously. It is an old Hikvision DS-2CD2342WD-I...

I have a small pond with fish in it and I thought it would be fun to have an underwater camera to monitor them, I would connect it and power it with POE. Anyone with experience in this or advice as to which camera to buy? I have found this...

This is my best deterrent to criminals, and probably the only recourse if you live in DC, getting a license to own a gun there is next to impossible.

Thanks, those notes are a great resource!

Link: Surveillance Cameras Made by China Are Hanging All Over the U.S. - WSJ In May, the Department of Homeland Security issued a cybersecurity warning saying some of Hikvision’s cameras contained a loophole making them easily exploitable by hackers. The department assigned its worst security...

Reading in the article about all the ways the cameras are compromised, the problem seems to go beyond a simple failure to try hard enough to make them secure, I get the sense that the manufacturers are deliberately building backdoors in. Is that overly paranoid?

Foscam Security Cameras Full of Security Flaws Foscam here, but how many other Chinese manufacturers have similar problems?

Hi I'd like to order 2 IPC-HDW5231R-Z cameras if available. Thanks.

Nevermind! Found the updated feature pack, good to go. Will leave this link if anyone has the same problem. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4016817/media-feature-pack-for-n-edition-of-windows-10-version-1703-april-2017 On a related note, does anyone feel a pervasive sense of unease...

Anyone else have this problem? My Windows 10 N PC just had the version 1703 OS upgrade (a big one) and since then Blue Iris won't open. Message: 'The code execution cannot proceed because WMVCore.DLL was not found. I believe the update uninstalled/broke the Windows media player/media feature...

Was installing my new IPC-HDW4231EM-AS in a spot about 12 feet high on an outside wall. In a moment of distraction I fumbled it and it dropped down straight on the concrete surface below and landed hard, see the dent: Miraculously, it still works and has been in continuous service for over...
