Thanks, that camera really has a bright ir light on it, could see the house pretty well. This is exactly what I would want to do but not automated, I would be afraid the cows all around would always be getting tracked and not the people. I'm just trying to catch people before they steal...

Ok so I am looking to setup a wireless camera or two in order to catch trespassers at a gate on the farm that is about 1/2 Mile from the house, there is a slight rise preventing direct line of sight and when the grass grows high in the summer or crops in the field get too tall you can't see the...

thanks for the reply, I have no reason that I would ever go past 8 cameras, is the 16 better to get because it has a better processor to handle more cameras? also cant really find any place online that sells that dahua nvr or cameras to the public....

Hello, I am looking to replace an amcrest 3MP POE camera system that crapped out after just over a year when the warranty expired. Didnt really have any complaints on it worked well from the iphone when away from home. Image quality could have been better on amcrest cameras, the one Hikvision...

Thanks that is true, I went with a hikvision dome added onto my amcrest system running at 2 mp because it had a better frame rate and field of view on the front porch where I needed a better camera than amcrest 3mp bullet that was slow frame rate and field of view. There is just so much to pick...

no problem building my own but i want sometihnmg 3-4 or more MP that is 20+ FPS and doesnt take a degree in IT to get setup

Hello, I had an amcrest qcam3 system that worked great for 10 months before the network portion of the NVR failed not allowing me to access on my phone app or computer, only the tv screen directly hooked up to the NVR. Have confirmed the network card is bad via tech support.The system still...

This is all above my level of knowledge. My camera is hooked up to my nvr through my router as it won't connect directly to the nvr being a non amcrest brand camera even if I force it into the right ip range and ports. I view the camera on my windows 7 computer by logging into the nvr...

Any way to retrieve video from the camera without pulling the camera cover off and getting up on a ladder?

Well I found the problem, there are 2 defects in the amcrest dvr settings and it wasn't the hik camera after all. If you change the settings more than once after doing so initially it will not make changes even though the settings are shown as being made. I didn't think this the case but...

well something got corrupted on either the NVR or hikvision camera so i reset both to default then changed the necessary settings back. I have the video displaying on the NVR but it isnt recording by motion again. I wonder if i am missing something. i suspect something buggy in the hik camera...

I am looking for a broken, or empty NVR unit I can put in my electronics closet so potential burglars wont keep looking to find my real NVR I have hidden in my house while they have the 30 minutes or so before the cops show up. doesn't really matter make or model just something I can run dummy...

Webcomponents is installed, I see the time slots but edits don't save. I only want to record motion. It's frustrating that it's recording 24-7 to the dvr. I don't know what I'm missing here??? I do want to record motion 24-7 just not record to the dvr 24-7 unless there is actual motion. For...

I logged into the camera though my IE browser and enabled it. I got the camera from a surveillance video company online that's been in business for over 20 years. Its a legit hikvision camera in the legit sealed box with US/English firmware etc. It wasn't a cheap knock off or anything. I...

Ok so I have the camera hooked up and working but it is only recording 24-7. I even moved the sensitivity down to 40 then 20, doesn't matter day or night. This camera is on a porch with 2 stone walls and the view is a pretty small area that doesn't have anything moving in it. I set the...

Searched the forum already but can anyone offer some guidance on getting the sd card recording? Can I access the contents on the PC through the software or do I have to pull the card? I didn't see much for settings and its very unclear to me.

I believe so, if I would have known this I would have bought all hikvision stuff Now just trying to figure out getting the micro sd card to record/setup

thanks i will do that so another device wont take the ip. also its frustrating with a static IP the NVR will just not recognize the camera when plugged in directly in the nvr, but when plugged into the router it works just fine. i guess i need to buy a POE switch to hook up after the router now.

Thanks for the help, something was messed up in the camera, i did as you said but no luck, did a factory reset on camera reset button and all is good now! hooked up via the router on DHCP

Ok so i bought the 3MP POE dome camera. It is supposed to be compatible with my amcrest qcam3 nvr. I cant seem to connect directly to the NVR but it is visible when i connect it to my router and not the nvr directly. I think i am missing a basic setting or have an ip or something easy set...
