    Question viewing older DS-2CD752MF VLC/Blue Iris/IP Cam Viewer

    I'm essentially a novice IP Cam guy. I have an older Hikvision DS-2CD752MF that when I view it locally in RTSP in VLC player it plays smoothly as expected. When viewed locally in Blue Iris, it pauses every 10 seconds for 2 seconds. You have smooth video 10 seconds, it pauses, you see its...

    Carl, the owner of Network Camera Critic, passed away

    I saw the sad news of this on my RSS feed for his blog the day they posted :( Terribly tragic at such a young age. His blogs/reviews, were what got me into the cams when I first became interested and started investigating them. I was always excited to see a new review of his pop up in my...

    Version 4 is now available!

    Looks nice! Holding off till the smoke clears as well, lol. Bought it @ 50 in October. And 30 to update it seems rude. Looks like a lot of work was done nonetheless.

    The dreaded Hikvision DS-2CD752MF again.... Router Tech help... Please..

    Oooookay.... I've no idea why, and I'm sure it's logical, I'm just not networky or maybe Hik-worthy enough to understand it... Just a hobbyist... The HTTP port to access the cam is xxx91 and RTSP was xxxx92, had worked fine for months with external viewers. I changed the RTSP port to...

    The dreaded Hikvision DS-2CD752MF again.... Router Tech help... Please..

    Alrighty network techies,.... Couple months ago, Fenderman (mostly) and I spent a of of time getting this older Ebay purchase unit to work. For the most part, all was welll. Until.... I grudgingly upgraded cable service, and a new WiFi/Voip Router (that I really didn't want, but it had t be)...

    Stuttering / pauzes in video stream with all Hikvision cams

    Not to hijack, but it is the same type of issue. My Hikvision DS-2CD752MF consitantly has a about a 2 second pause every ten seconds... You have video, it pauses, you see its time stop, then it jump ahead about 2 second or so. Is this maybe something I've done in the settings?

    To conceal, or not to conceal....

    I remember seeing this pic. It was one that helped pique my interest in getting outside cams :) Very cool.

    To conceal, or not to conceal....

    Yeah, seems Cleveland is just short of Detroit in police protection, lol... Lucky if they even come to lesser problems. I had a hit and run on a vehicle in front of my house reported at 12pm on a Sunday, and at 11pm they hadn't came yet and I called it off to go to bed. Technically these...

    To conceal, or not to conceal....

    So much to digest :) Well, nothing illegal here, I'm pretty boring in my old age haha. But, I'm ex law enforcement, so, I have a grip on what happens in the area and am pro-active and hyper vigilant (maybe umm, paranoid, lol). Finances have me living here a while, so, hardening...

    Got my 5mp motorized lens dome today

    That's about as large as the old industrial looking Hikvision I'm reluctant to mount outside my house... Seriously sweet looking cam...

    To conceal, or not to conceal....

    This.... Is probably what I was getting at. Was basically thinking more like typical burglary stuff, and not the "Rippers" thing. Strange I hadn't touched on that in my own thoughts. But had thought that people or authorities might think a meth house! So, similar.... The house isn't too...

    To conceal, or not to conceal....

    Ahh, aesthetics, a side I wasn't even addressing that needed addressed, lol... We can add that to the question as well. I suppose I'd like to see the cams, but I imagine our significant others, might find them not so nice. I've seen/heard a lot of that. Luckily, the cams would be the...

    To conceal, or not to conceal....

    Ok, just throwing this out to ponder. Common sense would tell "me", a non-criminal... lol, that seeing cameras in plain sight indicate I shouldn't mess around here and should move on. BUT.... I'm also wondering, in some areas, if seeing cameras around a house might attract attention and...

    Ok... I give... Ports issues with Hikvision DS2-CD752mf

    I have to send a sincere shout of thanks to Fenderman for his generous technical assistance and time on a Saturday afternoon. I would not have figured this out ANYTIME too soon without his expert assistance on multiple levels. Yes, a person can read all they want, but there is most always...

    Ok... I give... Ports issues with Hikvision DS2-CD752mf

    If you don't mind too much, I'd greatly appreciate the input. It's not an amazing camera, but I probably need to figure this out for education's sake, lol. What would you like me to do?

    Ok... I give... Ports issues with Hikvision DS2-CD752mf

    Hate to bother you guys.... And, I'm sure this is a simple rookie issue. This is my first bout with a Hikvision, or cam that uses several ports to work with, and I successfully use Foscam stuff no issue. Been at this a few days now reading and trying. But, time to ask experienced experts :)...

    Hickvision 2mp DS-2CD752MF question....

    Ugh, I looked the auction quickly over a few times and kept missing the full model number (I)FB(H) at the bottom description till you mentioned it. lol.. And that was something i was looking particularly. A heater would be nice as well :) Well, quite pleased it is a good unit, It seemed to...

    Hickvision 2mp DS-2CD752MF question....

    Thank you for the welcome and prompt response! I appreciate deciphering the options of this unit, I am just not up to speed on all the possibilities just yet. Ahh, Varifocal. I wasn't "getting" the wide lens range, I thought they were listing available lens options, lol... Yeah, 2.7~9mm Makes...

    Hickvision 2mp DS-2CD752MF question....

    I'm essentially a hobbyist. I got a $50 price on used Hickvision 2mp DS-2CD752MF IP cam. Looking at it online, it appears to be a typical older discontinued but heavy constructed 2mp IP cam. Nonetheless, I see prices over $300 new. I'm not super knowledgeable on the ins and outs, of IP...

    New Lurker from from CLE.

    Good day! Just a security minded newbie here. I have had a couple cheapie Foscam IPs up for a while, and looking into the Hikvision, Dahua, Grandstream etc. I live in a rough area of Cleveland, so cams provide some peace of mind when I'm out. Probably not much I can share. But, I really...
