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 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...

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

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...

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 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

Question on recording... If the pc I'm using has an HDD which I do not intend to upgrade to SSD right now, would I be better off using a USB 3.0 thumb drive to write to instead? I have modest recording needs so a 64 gig drive would be fine. I'm just wondering if it would be more efficient...

I'm assuming these are new models since user reviews are just starting to be posted on places like Amazon. FI9803P wifi model FI9803EP POE model The few reviews that are posted are fairly positive. Personally I have both a Hikvision 2032 and a Foscam FI8905w. I love the Hikvisions HD clarity...

I just purchased Blue Iris 2-3 months ago and am running 3.66. Have not upgraded to 4 because a)I'm waiting for any bugs to get worked out and b)I'm still irked that I have to pay to upgrade to 4 when I just bought version 3 a month before 4 came out. Anyway on to my question... I just got a...

Hello, I'm trying to be able to view my Hikvision 2032 with VLC using an RTSP url but not having any luck (everything I try fails). I've gotten it to work with other cameras using VLC in the past so in theory I know I'm doing the right thing. Just can't get the Hikvision going. Can anyone...

Picked up a 2032 recently and after some testing indoors which I thought was fine went ahead and installed outside. Not sure what is going on but the night time picture is just awful. Lots and lots of noise in the picture. I'm not really convinced daytime is much better but it's at night when...

Hi everyone, After learning with some basic lower end cameras (DLink, Linksys, Foscam), I finally bought a Hikvision 2032 bullet which arrived the other day and is my first HD camera. It's running V5.2.0 build 140721 It's up and operating just fine on my LAN and my Blue Iris setup is...

I think some model Hikvision's such as the 2052 have input / outputs that can possibly be used to trigger recording / alarms. I just finished my basement (took 5 years of weekends - sigh) and I would hate to see it get flooded. My basement is dry but you never know - broken pipe, well pump...

I see that typical Hikvision cams such as the 2032 and 2132 support a 'main' stream and a 'sub' stream but the documentation doesn't fully explain how this works. Can someone explain or link to an good explanation? I'd like to be able to record locally in 1080p in Blue Iris but view remotely...
