Hi!
Anybody can help me to configure the cam in the IP CAM VIEWER????
Thanks

So the Top201 is as reliable in component degradation as full fledged CCTV cams like dahua, hikvision, axis?I have one thats been running 24/7 for several years and expect it to last many more. There's nothing mechanical to wear out so they should last forever (assuming the voltage is proper and stable with no spikes), but electrolytic caps will eventually dry up and mechanical stresses from temperature changes (which causes materials to expand and contract) will eventually cause semiconductors to fail. The other thing that can damage them is capturing the sun stationary in the image for any length of time as the heat from having the sun focused on the CCD will overheat and damage the sensor elements the sun is focused on.
I spent 2 hours researching all this. I think the *fixed* IR filter is put right on top of the sensor and not part of lens coating. So no matter what lens you use, IR filtering works because the IR film is right on top of sensor. Why do you believe it is in the lens coating in the case of the Top201? Have you actually examine the inside of board and lens? Can others confirm what is early the case?Hi stepz
The 'top201' type of camera board does not come with the IR switching/ blocking components, and needs to use an IR blocking lens to keep the colours right.... (doesn't come with it cos the case/box is to small)
So if you can find a pinhole lens that is IR blocking then all will be well.
Weak components usually fail early in life and I'm not sure if dahua, hikvision, axis, etc. burn-in their cameras before selling them, but after several months (or a few weeks at least) I see no reason the Top201 wouldn't be as reliable.So the Top201 is as reliable in component degradation as full fledged CCTV cams like dahua, hikvision, axis?
No, the camera is not built with a fixed IR filter. It is part of the lens. If you remove the filter from the lens, daytime color is wrong (green looks purple) and it can pickup the 850nm light from IR. @DaveP is correct.I spent 2 hours researching all this.

Can you please confirm that the attached picture I posted earlier has IR filter really glued on top of the sensor? The supplier doen't know since he just got it elsewhere fully assembled. Why is it colored violet? Second. Where to buy this electronic IR filter (any link or url.. tnx).. why is it called electronic and how cheap it is? And can't you cut it to fit the small case of the top201?Just to expand..
The standard top-201 as ruppmeister says above is IR blocking, which is good if 1. you don't need IR capability and 2. the lens focal length is perfect for the chosen situation.
IF you need a different lens then and point 1 is still valid then it will have to be also IR blocking (if available)... if the required lens is not available as IR blocking then a separate IR filter will need to be attached 'right on top of the sensor' as stepz said.
If the standard case were bigger, then a standard electronic IR filter could be plugged into the board.... but its not, lol
So for non IR blocking lens (maybe like the pin hole type mentioned earlier) an option could be to take apart a cheaply available electronic IR filter and remove the filter which then could be laid over the sensor and held in position by what ever means your happy with or capable of (blue tack or glue gun are two options I have used).
I jus ordered one like it and it's coming in 1 month. I just want to something for now. Why is it called dual filter( most dual filter including one I ordered)a.. are the glasses glued on top of each other. Why is single filter not sufficient, any clue?Hi stepz
It looks like an IR filter.. but only way to prove it, is to test it.
The cheap way to obtain a filter is to purchase something like this ... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Infrared-IR-Cut-Dual-Filter-DC-3V-for-CCTV-Surveillance-Security-Camera-Board-/381270484479?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item58c57de5ff
Take it apart and butcher it as required.
