    Various CCTV kits with their cloud connection

    I have looked up a several different brand of CCTV kits out there, just looking for a reasonable image quality - I'm surprised at how cheap these kits are but there is one thing that I'm suspicious of, is that they seemed to be tied to their 'cloud' app - to connect to their DVR, just simply...

    DS-2CD2335FWD-I - Hikvision Ultra Low Light 3M camera

    In case you all were wondering why Hikvision 3MP cams with 1/3" sensor size cameras (apart from DS-2CD2335FWD-I which has 1/2.8" sensor) have been petty poor on night vision, the 1/3" sensor Hikvision was using, isn't great as I have just found out. Any other Hikvision cameras with slightly...

    DS-2CD2432F-IW soft/blurred

    I have decided to return this camera and it turned out it is really genuine camera as I found out that the sensor in 3 MP version is inferior to 2 & 4 MP Hikvision cameras. Just ordered 4 MP from online shop in my country as the original seller thinks I would not be happy with 4 MP version...

    DS-2CD2432F-IW soft/blurred

    It turned out that the sensor of 3 MP is actually smaller than 2 MP version (1/32" vs 1/2.8") which explains why 2MP has wider view...hmm Maybe it's no big deal but I was kind of expecting the quality to be similar to 2 MP.

    DS-2CD2432F-IW soft/blurred

    I have played with these settings including WDR & digital noise settings earlier with little improvement (also to compensate for higher MP but no luck). Also I have noticed that this cam is showing WiFi connection of only 54mbps with status showing 'disconnected' (despite being connected via...

    DS-2CD2432F-IW soft/blurred

    I have just received Hikvision DS-2CD2432F-IW (3 MP) in addition to what I already have DS-2CD2420F-IW (2 MP) from last year. I received it in red/white box from eBay/China. Everything about it looks very identical to my other Hikvision, apart from that I had bought first one from Europe...

    Is there a two-way audio support on Windows Phone 8 app - iVMS-4500?

    Thanks, you have just confirmed what I was suspecting, just that I don't use my phone that often to justify upgrading but I can agree with what you both have said about Windows apps so I will probably check out some cheap Android phones.

    Is there a two-way audio support on Windows Phone 8 app - iVMS-4500?

    Well, just back home and checked it again, the video just came up itself! So the settings were correct then. Microphone input works great. It could be due to that Nexus 7 tablet is so old and very slow, especially with Lollipop OS...! Anyway it means that I now know that there is support for...

    Is there a two-way audio support on Windows Phone 8 app - iVMS-4500?

    What I should have said, that the settings I have got it working on other apps, I have applied it to Tinycam, it should work but it just doesn't. Even Tinycam does not have this camera on their support list but I will double-check the settings later. For your information, I have iVMS-4500...

    Is there a two-way audio support on Windows Phone 8 app - iVMS-4500?

    Just tried that now and it found camera on the network & applied its setting automatically. Streaming doesn't work. I noticed it choose settings based on DS-2CD2112F-I as it does not have DS-2CD2420F-IW on its list. Tried ONVIF, still doesn't work. So I have tried various settings to receive...

    Is there a two-way audio support on Windows Phone 8 app - iVMS-4500?

    Thanks, although I left 'video' only in the camera setting, mic input was working fine via web browser and my wife heard the sound coming from the camera. So it seems that 'video and audio' option is for streaming only, not two-way - with audio included, you only get the sound from the video...

    Is there a two-way audio support on Windows Phone 8 app - iVMS-4500?

    Hi, I have got DS-2CD2420F-IW camera up and running. It is streaming nicely on iVMS-4500 app on Windows Phone 8 but as far as I can see, apart from 'speaker' icon, there is no microphone icon, for me to speak?
