    Camera specs or camera for License plate reading

    wittaj, thanks so much for the info! I'm not looking to have it automatically log the plates. I'd just like a camera that if something happens, I can go back over the recording and see the license plate. More of a "when I need it" type thing. Would the 52IR-Z12E be a good option for that...

    Camera specs or camera for License plate reading

    I looked around the newbie and wiki stuff but didn't really find what I was looking for (or missed it). I'm setting up cameras around my house for some basic security and to watch around the house. I typically use Dahua or EmpireTech PoE for my outdoor cameras, but open to one that will do the...

    Camera questions

    I appreciate all the info. This is very helpful. I think I may try the 5542 and see how it works. I have some other areas I'll eventually cover with a cam, so if it doesn't work there, I can try a different spot. Thanks again!

    Camera questions

    Sorry, my bad on the thanks. I'm definitely not an expert on all things forum, which I'm sure is obvious. I've been looking around at Dahua and Hikvision cameras (mostly Dahua) and I'm getting a headache looking at the different models, even looking at just the turrets. I'm wondering if any...

    Camera questions

    I know this might get people yelling at me, but I'm finally starting to set up some PoE cameras around my house. I know recommended cameras are a personal choice, but I'm just trying to see what might be recommended for a home system that will be basically bullet cameras that I will record to a...

    Good iOS app to use with ONVIF cameras

    Their Baby Monitor app I am using on iOS does have PTZ. I never had any issues with it until recently and just on this one camera, so I'm not sure. I did hear back from the contact at TinyCam and all he said was "We do not support the iOS app anymore. I haven't heard about such issues on...

    Good iOS app to use with ONVIF cameras

    There is an app in the appstore called TinyCam from someone named Jianjian Huang, but it doesn't have many ratings and those are not good. I installed it and tried it, but it doesn't pick up any of my cameras with the search and if I use the ip address and port, it still doesn't find it. Might...

    Good iOS app to use with ONVIF cameras

    I apologize if this is not the best place for this, but I didn't see an area for apps unrelated to BI. I was using the Baby Monitor app for all my cameras and it was working great for some time. But for some reason, it just stopped working with one of my ONVIF cameras. I can access the camera...

    Advice for setting up a whole house system

    I know there's a lot out there on these various steps I'm looking for, but figured I'd see if I can get some suggestions/advice. Plus I have seen some good info on some of the stuff I want to do, but figured I'd confirm that is the way to go. I'm trying to set up a whole indoor/outdoor camera...

    Huisun IP camera URL

    I was wondering if anyone could provide me some info on the Huisun mini IP bullet cam. I've had this camera for a while and I was able to view it through the Baby Monitor by Tiny Solutions using ONVIF. I recently upgraded my home automation software and am trying to set up the HomeSeer...

    Question on mobile app for multiple camera types

    Does anyone have any additional thoughts on a good iOSmobile app? I thought I saw somewherethat the person behind Tinycam Pro for android was planning on putting somethingout for iOS at the beginning of this year. Or are there any new apps out there that might work with multiple cameratypes...

    Question on mobile app for multiple camera types

    I guess I should clarify that I would need this solution for iOS. I wish they had a version for the iPhone. Does anyone know why they decided not to go through the App Store, but put out a baby monitor app for the iPhone? Seems odd.

    Question on mobile app for multiple camera types

    Does anyone have any additional thoughts on the mobile app? I tried IP cam viewer but didn't like it at all. The response of the pan tilt function was soooo slow. The Foscam app not even using a Foscam IP cam was still 1000 times better but doesn't have all the cameras. I've been buying apps...
