    What PTZ IP camera to buy?

    Thanks for the tips. This is mounted under the soffit, so I want to believe corrosion due to water is not the issue - I have bigger fish to fry if that's the case. Also, it is mounted at a corner of the garage overseeing the side of the house and can pan to cover the driveway. Climbing and...

    What PTZ IP camera to buy?

    This is my most beloved camera for the past 4+ yrs - check out the timestamps on the top left corners to appreciate the night/day performance. But it pains me to ask for help/suggestion. Looks like its beginning to fail. It just goes offline randomly and all I get on Blue Iris is No Signal -...

    Hi, I have the DS-HD1 installed and it seemed to be working well until I created another account on my wife's phone and shared the camera with her account. Now, sometimes there's a HUGE delay before it ring on our phones when someone press the button. Sometimes. it takes a couple of minutes...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Thanks!! @pete_c Now it has joined my home wifi :) BUT, the ivms app on my phone is not progressing to allow me configure the chime. How do I do that? Is this something I can do on the Batch tool and if so, where?

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Thanks @pete_c I think the issue I have is the Batch configuration tool. It appears the one I downloaded is different than the one you show on your screen shot. I don't have the option of changing the SSID. What I am able to change is the IP and Gateway address of the DB. And even when I change...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Hi, This is exactly where I get stuck. I have been able to connect IVMS to the DB wifi but can't find a way to move it to my house wifi network. How do you use the SADP to change the AP to go to main SSID of the main wifi? If it is helpful, I use the DECO Mesh routers to create wifi throughout...

    The auto track is a cool feature. Do you have an idea how far does the camera stay on subject (assuming subject is travelling within line of sight without obstruction). For example, If it pick a car moving on a straight road, will it keep zooming in to keep the car identifiable?

    Need Help With Hikvision 4k Camera

    The model is DS-2CD2785G0-IZS Sometime a go on this forum, someone posted he had issues with artifacts and ghosting. One of the recommendations was to reduce the bitrate. I had issues with missing frames when I used higher too.

    Need Help With Hikvision 4k Camera

    Thanks for your replies. The camera is about 7ft+ from the landing (see attached picture). At this height only a door bell camera will make sense to be installed lower. FYI, the camera has 2.8 to 12 mm Motorized Varifocal Lens and its current zoomed position is somewhere in-between the two...
