Set up a Hikvision DS-2CD2212-I5-4MM in my back yard today as a test and a flock of black birds (grackles) happened to pass through. Pulled this shot out of the footage.

I purchased a 2212 1.3mp EXIR bullet to install looking over our small parking lot at work. Have to say, if you don't mind the bigger size, the dual EXIR night performance is really excellent. I'm considering purchasing additional cameras of the same model and was wondering something if anyone...

I get it by now that you don't like Foscam or wifi cameras. I own Hikvision cameras and prefer them when the application fits. I will likely use them out there once I run cat5. This is going out in the back of a 2 acre property with no building structures to protect either of those two types...

Foscam direct had a sale this week on the FI9900P for $125. I had hoped to get cat5 run underground out into the yard (wildlife cam) before winter but not looking like it's going to happen. So I bit and ordered an FI9900P to use out there via wifi short term this winter. Looking forward to...

The FI9900P looks like a real good option for a wifi camera with 1080p and decent night vision. Also supports an SD card although it apparently requires you to disassemble the camera. The wifi connectivity issues people are complaining about worries me a bit though. I have had no issue with my...

That did the trick. Basically all you need to do is http://x.x.x.x:port in the address bar of IE. Just add the http:// in front. I did have to change some of the ActiveX settings under Security in IE. So I was able to change the frame rate down to 1 FPS as I was hoping. Strange there is no...

I updated the camera firmware and web interface which didn't help but think I figured out the actual problem. It's browser based. Reading the manual, it will not show the FPS settings on the main page in Chrome or Firefox. It should in IE but when I try it on IE 11 it just goes to a bing...

Hmm..my interface does not show these unless I am doing something wrong. I will attach screenshots of the only two pages I can see. One is the home page it goes to first when you log in (with video preview). The other is the page I go to if I click on 'Device Management' from the home page...

I have a Foscam FI8905W I have used around the house for a couple years without caring much about the frame rate. However I'm going to be setting it up at a remote site with limited bandwidth and would like to crank it way down to like 1 FPS. The manual online mentions many choices that should...

I personally use Afraid DDNS service at my house. It's free but I have to confirm the account every 3 months and it's always worked fine. However I am setting up another location (our cabin) that is using Verizon DSL and an Actiontec combination modem/router provided by Verizon that does not...

Not arguing that point at all but unfortunately necessary for this application - at least short term. (not my house but I will have access to the cam) And although I wire everything I can, wifi can serve a purpose in a pinch. I stuck a wifi Foscam out at the very edge of my wireless signal in...

Thanks. Yes that is one to consider. The options sure are slim sadly.

Anyone have any suggestions for outdoor cameras that are both wifi capable and have an SD card slot? Having trouble finding that combo in something outdoor rated. Thanks

Is this under Advanced and then the Motion Detection tab? I see the Arming Schedule under there but nothing mentioning continuous recording.

Still making more progress. Tried Windows 7 with Firefox and the files are going to the default folders so far so good. I'm able to pull down files remotely via the browser interface as well. So that is good. Where is the option in the interface to enable continuous recording to the SD card...

Ok great info there. Part of my problem may just be I'm using a Win8 machine to test this and I'm not all that familiar with the file search engine which seems more robust but a little less intuitive. I will switch over to something Win7 and see how I make out. Any thoughts on whether or not...

Well I got a little farther with this and have not totally given up. It does record to my Sandisk 64 gig card after all. Accessing the data and pulling it down off the card is where I am struggling now. 1. From the Playback tab, I can see the recordings in my timeline at the bottom of the...

Lol. Somehow I was in a hurry and read the previous post to be someone mentioned the "bp2008" as a computer model. Sorry about that. I will look around. Thanks.

You guys got me curious about what this thing is really running so I powered it up just now when I got home. It's got an i7-920 which specs out pretty close to the 860. The Dell model is an XPS 9100. See photos attached. I just want something streamlined that I can tuck away somewhere, and run...

Also thanks bp2008. So your reply after posting.

Thanks for the feedback fenderman. Good advice. I was thinking about the electricity too. Any suggestions on a mini-pc platform? Intel Nuc? Others?

I have a 5 year old Dell XPS 8100 (I think) tower with an i7 I'm converting over to an SSD hard drive. I love the machine but it does throw some serious heat in the summer when it gets really working. Can cook you out of the room. I don't currently run my Blue Iris on it but was thinking of...

Hi all, Sorry if this has been discussed in the past... Which night vision performs better in total darkness when you compare the single illuminator on a turret model such as the 2332 or the multiple led's on a model like the 2032? I've used the 2032, and while I love the camera the night vision...

Well turns out I have firmware 5.2.5 and not 5.3.0. Tried a 32 gig card but it's no working either. Again, it formatted fine and says 'Normal' under status but I still don't see anything under the Playback tab after I record something. Upgrading on these Chinese versions sounds like it will...

I will have to check my software version tonight but but its China-rama. All packaging and documentation Chinese only. I was surprised when the firmware was in English. I'm using a brand new Sandisk 64 gig card and I suppose can try another smaller one before giving up. It's tough for me to...

Great...looks like this will be going back. Whole reason I bought it was for the SD card and it was the only one I could get on Amazon prime by the weekend. Is there a discussion going on somewhere about this topic? Is the U.S. version of this camera available yet?

Hi all, I just ordered an received a Hikvisio 2032F version camera along with a 64gig micro SD card. The SD card installed, formatted and is recognized and checked off in the menu but I am having trouble getting anything to record so I must be doing something wrong. I've never set up the...

I never knew there was a 2032 capable of an SD card. Does the F indicate SD card capable on all Hikvision models?

I need to set up a camera or two out at our cabin in a remote wooded area. It's closed down for most of the winter but I would like to access any triggered recordings or snapshots during the winter or other times we aren't there. The big limitation is the internet connection out there which is...

I'm guessing this is a long shot but will ask anyway... If I have one Hikvision camera with an SD card (say a 2532) and another Hikvision without an SD card (say a 2032) on the same network, is it possible to record video from the 2032 to the SD card on the 2532? Thanks, Chris
