    Mini PTZ v1: Firmware Discussion

    Thanks. Can you check something for me in your camera when you have a moment? My upgrade is failing but I have a theory as to why. When I first got the camera I changed the admin password to the Hik default. Somehow, when this happened, the admin account turned into an "operator" account: I...

    Mini PTZ v1: Firmware Discussion

    @klasipca -- is the firmware in the first post the best choice? I just found my camera came with the firmware that has the bug where presets don't save zoom level:

    Best deal on Imporx (Huisun) v2!

    I was trying to balance the price with some very impassioned "never order 2 weeks before or after their holidays" advice from another thread. I did actually get one at the good price at least, but my plans required two. Such is life.

    LTS LTN8916-P16 4K NVR unboxing, first impressions

    Sounds like a bug then. Basic motion emails come with photos, line crossing doesn't--on the LTN8708-P8. Haven't tested line crossing email on my LTN8916-P16 but basic motion email photos also work fine there.

    Mini PTZ 2nd Gen: 2016 PTZ Camera of the year!

    The camera doesn't do recognition itself, but it can take pictures/video for other software to analyze.

    LTS LTN8916-P16 4K NVR unboxing, first impressions

    Oh, interesting. I did notice that line crossing email alerts did not include images on my neighbor's unit... Maybe that's related?

    LTS LTN8916-P16 4K NVR unboxing, first impressions

    Do you mean you can't get email working in general, or email works but you don't get attachments with the message? Anyway, here is how I got Gmail working: - Set DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 - Enable SSL in email settings - Use smtp.gmail.com on port 465 - Turn on Google's "allow less secure...

    Mini PTZ camera impressions! 2015 PTZ camera of the year? AVOID THIS CAMERA

    Is the current plugin version for this camera 1.0.4.41? I'm having trouble with a black video frame in IE, though the camera works and I can change settings. I just can't see video in IE. Camera software is V1.0.2 Build 201511191322.

    Mini PTZ 2nd Gen: 2016 PTZ Camera of the year!

    The camera's working, but I am still having some Windows/IE hassles. My LTS NVR has PTZ support and it seems to support this camera fine, though I have not yet tried patrols and presets. Through the NVR console or web UI, I can operate the camera as needed. In order to set that up, I had to...

    Best deal on Imporx (Huisun) v2!

    What customizations are possible? (I need 2. Well, one for the neighbor's project, one for mine. Since shipping is free I am ordering them separately, as there is speculation that larger orders may trigger import fees. I've already ordered one, will do the other one in a day or two.)

    Any reason not to order now? It's their holiday so shipping will be delayed, but they're not gonna get drunk and ship you a box of rocks instead... Or maybe? :)

    PTZ v1 motion detection seems overly sensitive or blind with not much in between

    Great news. I'll order one (or two...) after the holidays.

    Thanks for the confirmation! Let us know what you find for the v2. I'd probably still get one anyway, they are too much fun...

    PTZ v1 motion detection seems overly sensitive or blind with not much in between

    With both my Huisun v1 10x PTZ and my LTS 4 MP turrets, basic motion detection seems to be overly sensitive. Even looking at a fixed indoor scene with no lighting changes, basic motion detection seems to work like this: If set to 2 or higher, it goes off constantly If set to 1 or lower, it...

    New Hikvision NVR DS-7608NI-I2

    Virtual Host is handy, it will let you get to the cameras directly by using an address on your existing LAN with a specific port. Try turning on Virtual Host and see what port it uses by default, it is probably fine.

    Huisun 10x LPR (License Plate Reading) settings

    I have the v1, and have observed a couple of small issues. Virtual Host via NVR does not work on Firefox. It's strange--if I put in the Huisun's virtualized address into Firefox (eg http://192.168.1.15:65002/) or just click the link in Configuration>System>Camera Management, then FF...

    Best deal on Imporx (Huisun) v2!

    That is too bad though this still seems to make a dandy replacement for many fixed cameras. Fingers crossed for a firmware fix... Do these cameras have any history of support like that? I'm a new PTZ fan, only had my v1 for a few days.

    I'm loving this camera, and probably going to order the unbranded 2016 version that was linked in that thread. $151 shipped is sweet. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hot-Sell-2016-New-Arrival-Rotary-Bullet-PTZ-Camera-with-Onvif-1080P-MINI-PTZ-IP-Camera/32583148851.html

    I've just received my camera but I am not sure what I actually got. The model number on the box is HS-SCB-405IP-V10-E. this is the AliExpress page for exactly what I ordered... it says 2016 but as far as I can tell, that model number is for 2015. I was ordering right around the time they...

    Mini PTZ 2nd Gen: 2016 PTZ Camera of the year!

    Just got my camera delivered. I'll post some pictures later. I can get to it on the network and change settings logged in via IE and verified I am getting a picture. What is the recommended way to connect it to my LTS POE NVR? Should I set the camera to a fixed IP, or will the NVR give it an...

    Mini PTZ 2nd Gen: 2016 PTZ Camera of the year!

    I have my epacket shipping number, but it looks like the camera is still on the other side of the world. I feel like I lost a few days due to their holiday, but they didn't drop the ball so far.

    Is it possible to change the lens on the LTS/Hik CMIP3042W-28 turret?

    I haven't been able to find any indication that the lens is replaceable by the user, but if anyone knows otherwise, they probably read this forum. http://www.ltsecurityinc.com/ip-camera/ip-dome/ip-network-turret-camera-cmip3042w-28.html

    New setup advice, ditching 4mp

    Even if you can't get a picture of the doormat and packages, you could set up a motion alert/email for the area of the porch that you can see. Then when the delivery arrives, you'll know the driver was there even if you can't see the box.

    Hik NVR schedule setup--where's the "run schedule" button?

    That's great to hear, I thought about trying that later on. I wish the indicators worked differently, but now I know how the machine is thinking. Thanks for posting that.

    HIKVISION - Able to access NVR via web but not locally

    When I log in to my LTS (Hik) NVR by typing in the IP address, it also auto-forwards to a funny-looking URL. If your NVR is using 192.168.1.5 then maybe that part isn't a problem. On your LAN are the computer and NVR plugged in to the same network switch? Any hardware in between them? Same...
