I still have the issue, the video quality is bad on sunny daylight. On the day that's extremely cloudy, I have no issue with flickering. For the most part night, vision is the best vs daylight. My NVR only have 264+ mode not sure much different than x264. I see this from Dahua but not sure if...

Hi, I have an issue with the Web GUI when I access it remotely at work with port forwarding. The Web GUI stays logged in if I forgot to log out, I end up with my ISP alerting that I almost hit my 1TB bandwidth limit because it kept running when I left work. When at home the Web GUI does...

I might need to runs new Cat6 solid copper wire for my 2MP cams, both of it seems to have some interference and shorten all the wire and use that twist on the weatherproof seal that it came with.

I pick these up at HF for $10, makes installation a breeze! I re-ran my three other Foscam too. 3/16 in. x 33 Ft. Fiberglass Wire Running Kit I use 1" drill bit, I did a drone video of my camera install around my house and maybe a review of the setup later on.

Awesome! Thanks for the screenshot really helps clarify this up. The more I learn about this entry PoE system I have the more powerful I see it has to offer. So far this is amazing experience through the years with Security cam using network/wifi foscam.

Gary, did you figure it out? Take a look at this articles to access Camera's Web GUI through the Hikvision NVR. How to Access a Camera's Web GUI through the Hikvision NVR : Wrightwood Surveillance Support Accessing directly to the Camera you'll definitely see more advances settings of the...

I don't have VCA option through my NVR. Is this something I need to plug the camera directly into my Cisco PoE switch instead of the NVR to see if VCA is available and enable its function?

At first, I think it's false alerts as well, but after playback all the videos. I found birds flying through or bird shadows with a split of a second will trigger it. Also, the exposer changes due to clouds covering the sun etc... or a plastic bag or something blew through the scene will...

I wonder how you get into Expert mode? I have been fooling around with my NVR for the past few days. The only option for me was the Sensitivity slide bar. I tried 20 lowest doesn't fix my issue with birds flying through 100x with a split of a second will trigger it if you have email and audible...

You need to go to Configuration/Local and enter the Encryption Key you set on your NVR before you can Live view through the WUI. Also, I would check Yes to Auto Start Live View, so you don't have to click Start all the time. I know this is stupid, it takes me hours to figure it out.

One other tip, don't bother wasting your time with Motion Detection alert to email or audible warning. It will drive you bananas. I have been spending few days tweaking it from the lowest sensitivity of 20 to 60 doesn't do me any good. As this will trigger with birds flying through for 1sec will...

Make sure you're doing this at your NVR, not through the Web. I would go to Maintenance/Default and do a factory default reset if you haven't done so. Once it boots up, go through the startup wizard again. Note! Remember the activation code you create during the process that's what you'll need...

Everything pretty much goes through the NVR, so really re-read the manual. As for myself, I plug it straight to my PoE Cisco switch to test if PoE works on my switch, then I use SADP tool from HIKVISION to look up the camera and manage it Tools - Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co. Ltd. ...

So far the motion sensor on this at 20% is still so sensitive to catch any bugs flying around the camera or a quick 1s bird fly through. This kinda sucks, is there a way around to drop these quick motions?

Day View, check the four video clips attached to get a better idea.
