    What's the best site to read reviews about latest IP cameras?

    The axis forum has 40 posts, its now what this forum is about, 90% of this forum uses the "even Hikvision" without warranty and support, so those are not deal breakers when the price is right. I see the Longse as a Sony that can possibly provide better night images than the Hiks new 4mp which...

    GoPro Hero4 Drops price of 4k

    Or the Mobius at $65, probably why they have to resort to a price drop.

    What's the best site to read reviews about latest IP cameras?

    This is where Sonys new IMX178 using Hisilicon's HI3516 module plays a roll in this thread, its a 1/2 Sensor selling for $85 + shipping, at this price, it is worth testing, especially when the same league none varifocal camera by Hilk is going for $600. So the $100 range 1/2" sensors are...

    GoPro Hero4 Drops price of 4k

    Due to poor sales Gopro dropped its price by 50% for the Hero4 in hopes for a turnaround. Hopefully IP camera makers are paying attention. http://wap.engadget.com/2015/12/05/gopro-hero4-session-price-drop/

    What's the best site to read reviews about latest IP cameras?

    I think due to the price hike by Hikvision in their new lineup, many are preparing to deviate from this brand if possible, the basic idea is obtaining the largest possible sensor that can achieve good results (specifically low light with motion) without breaking the bank and remaining in that...

    Push Notification Issue

    I had an other issue not related to this where deleting the app and installing it solved it, give that a try. It is buggy indeed.

    Push Notification Issue

    Although you have gotten an alert, the NVR is still writing to the Hard drive and is not available yet for viewing. Wait a minute before playing back.

    People spread on videos

    After fiddling with the settings for hours with no success, I have found the cameras defaults to be the best effective settings for various conditions. at Any time you get blurring, set defaults and start fresh.

    Serial number embedded in email alerts.

    The name of the device is also embedded and can be tailored to the users liking, for example "NVR Home" Or "Building 00 NVR" which is more suitable and useful than 1401253812AARR324102354WCVU. With the name embedded directly above the serial in each email, I see no good reason to justify...

    Serial number embedded in email alerts.

    I see no good reason for serial numbers to be embedded in every email alerts and my suspicious side of me tells me Hikvision did this on purpose. Knowing this is what you need to create a new password and gain access I feel it should be spared. The device name is also embedded and by no means...

    Connection failed when activating Alarm in ivms with fw 3.3.4

    Ok some updates, my perception was false and it is not fw dependent. I added a friends 3.3.4 NVR to my ivms and attempted to turn on Alarm Notification and got " connection failed" wifi and 4g 3.0.8 which has been added for over a year can be turned on without issues. My own 3.3.4 also got...

    Connection failed when activating Alarm in ivms with fw 3.3.4

    So I have two NVRs connected to the same IVMS 4500, one is an older firmware 3.0.8 which alarm activates without issues, however the new recently installed NVR with 3.3.4 NVR continues to give a connection failed message. The issue seems to be fw sensitive and wondering if anyone has a fix...

    New 6mp with 1/1.8 sensor

    Thanks for the links, Theoretically the 2mp darkfighter should produce a better night image then the above 5mp due to lower pixel density, All darkfighters are 2mp ( AFAI) and can do 60fps , however if it can produce a better night image than the 4mp Hiks I recently got, then its definitely...

    New 6mp with 1/1.8 sensor

    Clip claims to use same sensor, a different cam though. People capture is well defined walking at a fast pace and from a good distance. Cant get that on my 4mp hik 10 feet away.

    New 6mp with 1/1.8 sensor

    Of course the prices are outrageously expensive for these cams and might be Hiks way to combat the effects of the Chinese market. What they need to know is, users will find alternatives and its how companies such as Huinsun are born and good way for Hiks users to search elsewhere. So searching...

    New 6mp with 1/1.8 sensor

    Came across these cams, would be interesting to see the night quality difference between a 6mp 1/1.8 and the Darkfighter at 2mp with same size sensor. The 6mp still did not make it to the Darkfighter category, making the larger pixels of the 2mp superior for night viewing, the 6mp on a 1/1.8...

    Hikvision - Noise/Quality Problem - $50 Reward!

    OP, anyone reading the above in the first posts expected just that, "tons of noise/static", we were all taken by surprise after the posted clips showed a normal pattern of what IP cameras and digital technology brings to the table and its also when the claims started to lose merit. I think...

    Hikvision - Noise/Quality Problem - $50 Reward!

    I can confirm with certainty messing with these settings DNR, WDR, Iframe and smoothing, in the wrong direction can give the pulsating effect if your getting that. I reset the camera not NVR to start fresh.

    Hikvision - Noise/Quality Problem - $50 Reward!

    I would test the cams using a ready made good quality short cat5e/6, directly near the NVR, It is possible you have accidentally purchased cheap cable.

    Understanding Hikvision Motion Detection

    Currently dealing with the same issue, if sensitivity is on 2 I get too many alerts and records every 10 minutes, if set to 1, it skips valuable info. Have not been able to get the channel to record during line crossing.

    NVR has set password on camera? What is it? Not 12345!

    I think the problem is some cameras do not go directly to the "create password" dialog on these new cameras. Even though one has not been set yet. This is through http not direct poe. I am not sure why this fixed it but putting the port number ( :80) after the local ip finally got me to the...

    My first Hikvision (2CD2032F) - is there a sticky for setting it up for best picture?

    Re: My first Hikvision (2CD2032F) - is there a sticky for setting it up for best pict Although still shots are descent at night, It was very challenging for me to find a median between a clear image and avoiding blurs and ghosting for moving subjects. In the end I settled on the default...

    Suspicious login

    Appears that everyone will see a different ip in their NVR log then their real ip presented by an ip look up service. I'm guessing that the phone company is using these different ips either for certain ports and in the process the ip is accidentally revealed for those services. Also possible...
