    CMS Software download

    CMS (Camera Management System?) I have a relatively recent version (Feb 2016 v3.1.0.4). I was seeing if I had the latest version due to a camera acting up. Where can I download this software? I can't find a home page or similar. Any other place I find older versions. I found a version v2.*.

    Review - TOP-201 Super Mini 720P HD IP-Cam (The Cheapest IP Cam So Far !!)

    Basically, switch sends question going "are you POE?". Simply having a splitter at the end will not let the switch know it is POE. Therefore it will not send power down the line.

    The POE module. When installing the camera outside. Should this module be outside due to heat? Australian roofs get quite hot in summer.

    @klasipca I think it is worth emphasizing, especially with Windows 10; that windows 10 has both Microsoft Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge. The camera interface which is ActiveX (OCX) only works with IE and not Edge. I made the mistake of trying to get it working on Edge and gave up at the...

    okay, this is my second super mini camera. The first time was a real struggle to setup and that was over a year ago. So I was rusty. I have not scanned all 50 pages of this forum before posting this info. So it may well be a duplicate. Perhaps the original poster will find this useful and...

    I have just ordered the Dome version. Have also noticed that all cameras now only mention lens being 3.6mm, except the dome and one wall attach bullet are offering 3.6mm/5mm lens. I am sure when asked they will do the 5mm lens as @klasipca has mentioned before.

    Inset lens vs level lens

    Sorry for the title as I am at a loss with the terms to explain it. I am looking at what seem like identical cameras. I notice that one over the other has a slightly different looking lens. One has the lens glass inset while the other appears level with the cover. What advantage, if any, does...

    Understanding PoE modules and how to connect them to cameras

    @zero-degrees Yes, you are right. Thanks for the reality check. My initial concern was voltage drop for a cable which would be 20 meters (65 feet). Given the link you provided it looks like I should be ok. I will use the spitter.

    @fenderman thanks for the tip on IR not passing through windows. May have to rely on my sensor lights. If i can get the cameras hidden behind the tinted window then I may see night events as well as day events when i am not home. I am trying to catch a serial prankster that seems to have a...
