I'm curious. What causes the poor image quality of the IP camera compared to a proper camera such as the phone? Is it mostly losses due to the h264 / h265 encoding hardware not being optimized for quality, even if the bitrate and the profile is set high? Is it the type of optics? I've noticed...

Climbing up a ladder, opening the camera, and taking out the tiny MicroSD card to then have it fall down in the grass can't be the start of a good day. Everything I've seen is Micro SD. You could throw an SD card anywhere in the grass and it wouldn't be hard for me to find it. It won't sink down...

The manual you linked to says: Two SATA slots for 3.5-inch Hard-disk drive/2.5-inch Hard-disk drive, 1 SATA slot for slim Optical Disk Drive So it should be able to hold two 3.5" drives, but it looks like it won't hold a standard 5.25" optical drive. 2TiB is a software limit that last existed...

Like existing military technologies being manufactured in China at very low prices, so that the average person can afford it? What other such technologies will become available in IP cameras in the next 5 to 10 years do you think?

I never imagined hearing so many plans for people to be dead within 2 decades when I started this! Well said, but there will likely be cameras from now that are fully functional in 17 years. The progression of technology slows over time. For single core CPU performance development, the amount...

It absolutely can be fixed with a firmware update. However, that firmware update isn't going to be free unless there is some law passed forcing companies to support their products, since it would have been 10 times easier to make the original design Y2K38 compliant than to fix it later. If they...

Does your IP camera have an audio input? I my Hikvision dome camera has a mono audio input! I never thought it would be worthy of streaming quality wise but I guess it could be!

On January 19, 2038, the clocks in all embedded devices which are using Unix time, which is time in seconds since January 1st, 1970 will cease to function. This includes most if not all 32-bit Linux, or GNU/Linux, based systems, and other embedded operating systems as well. Some clocks will...

I don't think you'll be able to stream directly without a computer to add the audio, with the proper delay so that it is synced, and stream it again. An IP camera is a great cheap way to stream something since the h264 / h264+ / h265 encoding is done on the camera's hardware. Without that, a...
