Couple of questions on IR illuminators 1) Do they need to be near the IP Camera and pointing in the same direction and angle as the camera? Or can I have the camera on a high wall and the IR illuminator at ground level? 2) I have a spare Ethernet-ended Cat cable line going outside which is...

Since owning IP cameras and using them outdoors, I've always had problems with spider webs obscuring the video. Tried simple techniques like clearing the webs every week, Spider-x (only works for a few days) and even a separate Illuminator away from cam, but here's an idea. I have a spare POE...

Just replaced my old Hikvision cam with a ds-2cd2342wd-i In hindsight I should have got a bigger lens, but I got a 2.8mm. This is resulting in a wider angle and at night it's getting a bright area where it illuminates against the lead flashing on the roof... anyone else had this? Is there any...

Anyone know how to fix this issue. When viewing the live feed on iPhone via the IP Cam Viewer app, I can get it to work, but the live feed only works for 5 seconds, then I get the Camera/Feed NO AVAILABLE message. The same happens when I am using Home WIFI and normal 4G connection. Any ideas...
