Really awesome, man! More power to you!

I'm not sure. I thought that bell-like button is to arm/ de-arm the alarm settings for the camera. Not 100% sure though how this works coz I've not really played with this alarm stuff. I've already ordered 2 pieces of that relay you posted. For 1.58 usd each (shipped) it is cheap enough to try...

Thanks for this Mel. I appreciate it. Zoom for my possible set up is not actually a requirement. So a cheapo PT is adequate. Will just wait for the Chinese holiday to finish and see if this one is doable for my case. Will post more questions once I get into it. Thanks again.

Thanks. I might also hold off until we get clearer answer from the seller. Might also send them an inquiry just like what you did. Pls, keep us posted. Thanks

Thanks for the pics.

Thanks, man. I appreciate it specially that I might have a place where only a PT can adequately cover. Can you point me to the specific camera you used coz the ones I'm seeing right now costs roughly 250 bucks and those I think are the ones with P iris, wifi etc which I don't need. And also to...

@Mel42: Bro, can you post links on these items since I'm honestly I'm not familiar yet with these stuff. At least the actual lens and enclosure you used for your particular camera. And if you don't mind posting a pic of your set up once you take it down that would be great. A video maybe of you...

@scotd9000 or anybody else: did you order from this seller? How was it so far? I also don't mind chinese firmware and willing to wait out the chinese new year holidays as long as the cams are eventually shipped. I'm looking to get 2 more cubes.

Yup, fact is I wasn't immune to that also. It took me a couple of weeks reading this forum and other related websites, couple of consult to a local friend here who knows ip cams, and a set of back and forth with our IT department added on top of a short afternoon when they had to visit my home...

I understand that this has already been answered by Fenderman quite clearly but I just like to echo his points: I'm quite happy that I went with the Zyxel managed switches mainly because of the nature of work I'm in that I deal with gigabits of company/patient related sensitive data at home that...

OP, S474N is correct. I made the same mistake when I first got my cams from Julia and sadp refused to recognize 2 cams at the same time. Then I remembered they all come with the same default IP address that results to ip conflict if two got connected at the same time. It's also best to use a...

Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks for this. It's not that I have a bricked cam or something. It's just that I have this pigtail and uart lying around (arduino and rasp pi projects) somewhere and curiosity-the-cat bit me. I wonder what will I see inside and maybe learn the ropes of unbricking Hiks once I get bored enough...

Got it. Though obviously i'm no EE expert since i can't distinguish between a built-in relay and an active low output signal. :sad2: Anyway, atleast i think I got the wiring scheme thanks to your description but since I'm using an active poe switch to power the cam I guess i need to tinker a bit...

Thanks for this, man. How did you connect the rx and tx leads to the UART? Is it rx-to-rx, tx-to-tx OR rx-to-tx, tx-to-rx? Thanks.

Hey Peter Thank you very much for the links!. Is it possible if you can make here a mini- diy step-by-step on how did you do it on your side using that small relay? Like what cam did you use (cube?), how you hooked it up electronically, and how you control the switching. That you very much...

Hi guys! I'm not sure if this is the proper place to post this question but since my home and offices' set up are all HIkvisions (combos of 2332 and 2432s on IVMS pcnvr) I thought I'd place this question here in this sub- forum. Anyway, my question is about the ability to remotely...

Hi guys. Just an update. About 16 days after placing the order, the box of ds-2cd2432f-iw finally arrived. Not bad. After playing with it for half an hour, I'd say it is exactly as the same kind as the ones that I bought via Aliexpress. Coz I thought I read somewhere there are "pirated"...

No difference. Use default.

Awesome! Thanks again, Fenderman!

To OP/ or the Guys who knows the answer: May I ask where did you get those mounting plates that you used to mount those cams unto the shingles? When I first saw them I though they were just custom made flat panels. I just realized that they are really flushed and looked cool. Thanks

Well, the R7000 is in entirely different class compared to the N66U. Having said that, the N66U is limited to usb 2.0 specially if you want to use it as NAS and only uses Draft 802.11ac specs. On R7000 it has a usb 3.0 and full 802.11ac specs. But if both have the dd-wrt installed, most of the...

Hi Maybe my experience on this link could give you other options. Went through this route mainly for simplicity and so far (after about a month of running) reliable. Though depending on your home wiring, definitely outcome my vary. Just to add more options to the mix: i was able to deploy my...

Hi Went through that thread last December since I was also looking for a cheapo nvr solution. As far as I know Hikvision cams are not full supported feature-wise(yet). And by the looks of it, the whole thing is not fully developed yet (too much headache for my taste). Here's the thread and...

Wow. The humanity.

Really?

Edit

Thanks Fenderman. I believe it's just a personal preference since I'm just not used on providing my credit card info aside from the usual merchants. Using prepaid credit cards on the other hand is a bit of an hassle for me also in case I need more coverage. And besides I've got great experience...

I used this Asoka Powerline POE on a unit outside my house instead of running 150 feet of cabling through a path that will require me a day or two of work. Fortunately I was able to find an outlet nearby (pool lights). I've been running it for a week now and was getting around 50 Mbps which is...

Hi guys. I've had decent experience with Aliexpress' CCTV Camera China. The only thing is during my last order , it took more than a week before my item got marked as shipped and a month before receiving it. But overall the experience is decent enough specially that items are original...
