    Last night I synced the canera's time to the PC again, but this time using ONVIF Device Manager ONVIF Device Manager The camera managed to keep the time without going back to 2008 While recording overnight. I hope it lasts. I like ONVIF Device Manager even though it hasn't been updated in a...

    Hi alastair ip address is 192.0.0.30 subnet 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.0.0.1 the ntp servers cannot help because the machine is not connected to the internet (there is no internet at the residence at all), hence the discussion earlier about workarounds for keeping time. Though there is a...

I probably had this cam sitting around for a year or more before I finally decided to buy a PoE switch and test her out. Though it's a shame that through glass windows...

    Identify discarded camera

    Hi guys. I will have to investigate wireshark. I have heard about Wireshark quite a few times but never tried it. I was hoping I could find its mac address on pc with a tool like that too. I have tried the Hikvision SADP app and the Dahua app (I think it was Dahua) already with no success, btw...

    Identify discarded camera

    Hi guys. Very new to security cams. Some time ago I found a discarded camera in the dumpster. I finally decided I would like to identify it and get it running. It is an eyeball (turret) style of camera with no branding that I can see. I even tried opening it up. I cannot find its IP address on...
