Any idea where to source the DS-7816NXI at? I've searched high and low and can't come up with anything

just buy a whole bunch of bell wire and run it from your ding dong dealio to your bell location for a temporary setup?

to be quite honest, this thing is sort of a piece of junk, but it seems to be the only option for what it is :(

Did you ever figure this out? I just got a new camera and its showing this error when I attempt to hit the web interface.

I dont have this either.

Is there anybody who is not having major issues with this camera's wifi range? I have had 2 Ring doorbells and have never had one issue with their reception, and I just got this one to dump the cloud and now am able to get it to connect ~40% of the time. My range hovers around -44dbm at the...

I got mine reset. Had to plug directly into the nvr and plug in a mouse. Used the reset utility in this thread, but instead of entering it into sadp, I entered it into a secret button on the bottom left hand corner of the login page. If you Google this, you can probably find out more

What version are you running? I need to reset my NVR as well, its a 7616 as well, but it's on 3.4.3

The camera is just defective. If you get a replacement, I'm sure it'll be fine. My new one is great - still gray market, but great.

PushBullet is able to send text or pictures as notifications. It sounds very similar to Telegram in that sense. Telegram seems to tout itself on their encryption used, with is cool. I'm going to look into it a bit more to see if I like it better. Thanks!!

When you've finished your python code - would you mind posting it?

I am using a bash implementation of PushBullet for notifications. These push directly to my phone. Keep in mind that script is rough, and took me roughly 20 minutes to setup. There are probably a million different ways to write this more efficiently than I have written it, I just wanted to...

I've already built something like this in bash. It runs on my raspberry pi. I haven't tested it extensively (because I can't get this **** upload to FTP to work), but it does work though, then sends me a pushbullet notification on my android device. Not sure what you were planning to run your...

Good to know, thank you! How reliable is your motion detection? Are you getting many false alarms?

Wow, that is even more annoying than not getting an image at all.... What model camera do you have and what software version? I've got 3 different models, all gray market, so I don't think I can update the firmware on them. I think as a workaround, I'm just going to wire up actual outdoor...

2.8 is definitely what you want.

bump - is nobody is using hikvision cameras in this manner? Maybe there is a better way to get what I want to achieve - is there any way to perform an HTTP post or something on motion detection? If I could get a hikvision to do that, then I could handle the logic elsewhere (on a raspberry pi...

I've got a DS-2CD2432F-IW that I'd like to upload an image on motion detection to my FTP. I know that my FTP configuration is working as I was able to test it successfully (the directory got created and the test file put on the filesystem). My problem is that I've got "Upload to FTP" checked...

Just a small update here - I returned my first camera, and got the exact same one from a different reseller. It was MUCH easier to focus the camera, and I'm way more satisfied with the results now. I'm not 100% done working on the focus, and these are just the out of the box image settings, so...

I use a similar setup. My doorbell is integrated as a zone with my security system (Elk M1), this is integrated with my lighting controller (ISY), so when the doorbell is pressed, the ISY posts an HTTP message to a raspberry pi that is just running a small netcat listener, when it gets a certain...

Please send the catalog. Thanks!

Thanks! New to the forums (and IP cams actually), still finding my way around.

Curious - where would I get the US warranty one at? I'd probably be interested in that over the motorized one (seems like too many moving parts, more likely to break...?)

You seem very knowledgeable, and I really appreciate your help so far - do you have any suggestions for a soffit camera above my garage? I'm debating if I got the correct camera for this location or not. The only reason why I'm leaning towards getting the same one is that the screw holes and...

Here is the camera that I bought - got it for $168. http://www.amazon.com/HIKVISION-Waterproof-Vandalproof-Verifocal-DS-2CD2732F-/dp/B00LMZY5BW/ref=sr_1_1?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1449789070&sr=1-1&keywords=DS-2CD2732F Here's a picture of it as well: http://imgur.com/4CAk9jF

This specific model that I have actually has Chinese under the Hikvision logo on the exterior of the camera. Looks pretty cheesy IMO, but if the camera would have worked, I guess I wouldn't have cared ;)

With this knowledge, I have concluded that this product is defective. I just pulled it off the soffit and am returning it. While I'm sort of on the topic, is there really any downside to gray market cameras? (besides the fact that you really can't upgrade their firmware)

Anybody know of any better documentation out there than this crappy guide from the product page? I'm concerned that I'm just maybe missing an adjustment or something because I'm about 99% certain this camera is gray market, and came with no documentation... Here's the link to the docs that I'm...

This was what I was kind of trying to do with the 3 most recent pictures, I wanted to demonstrate that when I zoomed in a bit, things get much, much worse. The first picture is zoomed all the way out. I'm going to be quite honest, either I'm a total derp, or this thing is broken. I can't get...

Unfortunately, this really didn't make a difference at all. Here are a few shots with me messing around with the 2 adjustment points (both with the dome off) http://imgur.com/a/1JvGc
