    Hikvision no longer selling to the end user

    How would they police this though? Seems unworkable to me. Would you have to register with them as an installer? If so, would there be a fee? What about the resellers en EBay etc? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Typical stable WiFi signal strength

    To be blunt, streaming video over wifi is never going to be as reliable as using a cable. I would install something like inssider on a laptop, stand where the camera is and look at the RSSI, the signal to noise ratio and and interference from neighbouring APs. Wifi signal strength is just part...

    Dome Hikvision Picture looks odd?

    I appreciate your help but you need to work on your tone. Perhaps not everybody is a CCTV genius like you. Luckily I have a cavalier attitude towards most egos but I find that those who get angry sitting behind a keyboard, rarely would in the real world. Like I said, appreciate the help but...

    Dome Hikvision Picture looks odd?

    The reason for the wider lens is I wanted to try and see the car outside the house and also double as a door cam for seeing the front door, I suppose in hindsight I should have tried two Cameras, one for the car and one for the door. Thanks for your help Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dome Hikvision Picture looks odd?

    I will have to move the dome then as the white thing is a beam holding the awning up above the door. The problem with the bullet is the 4mm lens and I wanted 2.8mm. I wasn't aware of the turrets at the time when I bought it, in hindsight I would have got the turret. I may just move the dome...

    Dome Hikvision Picture looks odd?

    Thanks, you mean adjust the FOV so the white beam is not in view or the wall on the left of the image below the window? The dome above the garage is outside and it works great, it's the same camera so must be something in the image itself. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dome Hikvision Picture looks odd?

    Hey So I have the 3MP Dome Hikvision anove my front door and the daytime image looks great. The nighttime one looks odd however, sort of a flared effect? I have another of exactly the same above the garage and this looks fine at night. Front door Garage which looks fine Have tried to...

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    This may have been asked already, I did try a search and scanned what I could but there is a lot of pages on this thread. Does the weather info work in the UK? Thanks

    BI and needing to setup VPN

    Which connection are you moving from the routers port to the internet port? Do you run a VPN on the Cisco router or is it simply acting as a router?

    FTP Latency Issues - Constant FTP Connection?

    So its a BI feature to keep the connection open? To be honest, I have given up on the FTP thing as it causes issues. I wanted offsite storage so figured FTP was the best option, I didn't realise BI would keep the connection open. I am now using Google Drive to save files so they are uploaded...

    FTP Latency Issues - Constant FTP Connection?

    Hey So I only have a 1Mb upload but am only using BI with motion dection, to give you an example, I had 20 alerts upload yesterday to the FTP server on the internet. The problem is that even when not uploading, it seems to cause the latency on the internet connection to shoot up from 30ms...

    FTP and Email Doesn't work when using VPN?

    Hi I have a site to site VPN from my router to a private VPN provider. With the VPN enabled, the FTP and Email alerts for Motion Detection fail to send. If I disable the VPN, it suddenly sends all the ones waiting which it must have 'queued'. Is there a setting which I need to adjust? I...

    Recording Ending Early?

    Thanks I will give the cloned camera a go because at night I get an alert every time a car goes past. I know storage is cheap but 30 alerts a night is annoying.

    Recording Ending Early?

    So I should bring the sliders more left? I did that before and it caused cars going past at night to trigger it. Our road is narrow and we live opposite a junction so cars at night light up the driveway which keps triggering it. I guess I could try and create a seperate profile for night.

    Recording Ending Early?

    See above. Break time was 5 seconds and I have increased it to 30. Is this the likely cause? Thanks

    Recording Ending Early?

    Hi I am using motion detection which works fine, I increased the pre frame buffer so it starts exactly where I want it to. However, the recording seems to end while movement is still happening. If I walk out there now, it will start recording and about half way through it stops! Why would...

    FPS Dropped Dramatically?

    FPS Dropped Dramatically?

    Hi It was set to 1/4 which sounds about right, I have changed it to 1/30. Will check tonight to see if that works. Thanks

    FPS Dropped Dramatically?

    Hmmmm I have just realised I was looking at the FPS at night, during the day (at the moment at least) its back at 30Fps. Would it really drop to nearly a tenth at night? 3.79Fps at night make it almost pointless having the night mode! Cheers

    FPS Dropped Dramatically?

    Hey So I have a TrendNet TV-IP310Pi which I understand is just a rebranded Hikvision. It was working fine for about a week, pushing out 25-30fps happily to Blue Iris. A few days ago it suddenly dropped to 3.79Fps maximum. If I reboot the camera it jumps to 15-20fps initially but then creeps...

    Upload Videos to FTP?

    Yep its working now, they need to tidy the tabs up a little as you seem to have to click in about 8 different places. Thanks for your help :)

    Upload Videos to FTP?

    Hi This is a separate issue to my last post so I have started a new thread. Under Camera > Post I have switched off 'Post JPEG's as I only want videos to upload. Under Options > Clips and Archiving > Configure, I have ticked the 'Use FTP to backup clips to the internet' At the moment, its...

    Motion Detection Triggering and Not Triggering

    Ahh ok thanks, so that has made a difference in that it now detects motion. I am going to have to play about with the motion sensitivity as a car going past (top left 10% of frame) set it off. Cheers

    Motion Detection Triggering and Not Triggering

    Hey So its dark here in the UK and my motion detection is either triggering too much or not at all. Attached at the settings I have at the moment and I just walked outside and the camera did not trigger at all. If I enable 'Object detection' it then works but picks up a leaf being blown in...

    Just bought a TrendNet TV-IP310PI

    Thanks, yeah I have read elsewhere that they are rebranded but that's fine as long as they perform well which it seems to be so far! Going to be mounting it on the front of the garage today hopefully. I certainly don't mind paying a one off fee but £5 a month for iSpy is like £60 a yeah which...

    Uploading to FTP?

    Hey I am using the Demo of BI with a view of purchasing it within the next week or so. Seems great so far, its a one off fee and uses less CPU than iSpy seems to. The only issue I have so far is the uploading to FTP which only seems to work for the static jpg images. Under the 'Post' tab, I...

    Just bought a TrendNet TV-IP310PI

    Hi I have just bought my first IP camera, Amazon had a lightning deal on and got it for £75 which seemed a bargain! The build quality seems decent and the video quality is great. The Web GUI is a bit pants and so is the software that comes with it. Currently evaluating some other options...
