1st Hik records smoothly to Lenovo ix2 NAS via NFS. With 2nd cam, I then format a separate folder on the ix2. After a successful initialization, NAS quickly reverts back to "uninitialized", presumably because the first camera is hogging all the memory? I don't know much about partitioning...

I have 2 Hiks with different firmwares (5.0.2 and 5.1.0). Every time I switch cameras, my laptop needs me to reload the plugin for that camera... very annoying! I don't think there is an available firmware upgrade for my older 30x PTZ, and I would be too afraid to try it anyway, as that camera...

Today I'm smoking salmon in the backyard, but it's raining! I don't have a wireless thermometer, so I've zoomed in on the BBQ thermometer and can monitor it while staying dry... works for me!

As unluck would have it, my 24v wireless bridge and 12v Hikvision DS-2CD2732F-IS have the same power adapter plug!!! It was inevitable and immediately upon connecting my camera to 24v, it went poof and smells like burnt electronics. I've already ordered a new camera, but I'm curious if there...

Hopefully this doesn't irritate too many retailers on this forum... Until sometime tomorrow (June 18), eBay is quadrupling it's ebay Bucks reward to 8% cash back for purchases over $150. They are then giving another 2% off electronics purchases. I just ordered a Hikvision for myself and the...

Having fun with my new 30x Dahua from Vector18! Yesterday, I spied something inside a kayak tied to a buoy. The first part of the video is with my Dahua 30x PTZ 2mp 1080p, last part with my Canon Rebel T3i slr. First, I had to convert the Dahua .DAV files to .avi, then convert AGAIN to .mov...

1 or 2 years ago, I produced a viral video of seal pups struggling with my surfboard... using a GoPro camera mounted to the board. I now have a sturdier 4x6' platform on the buoy and would like to attach an HD wifi ptz camera for the return of the seal pups in August. Does anyone know of a...

Using the Dahua Smart Player, when I tried converting a 2 minute DAV file, the vid was sectioned into 28 sequential AVI files! This may be due to the fact that the converter was unhappy with me zooming while recording. OK, so how do I combine these AVI files back into the 2 minute video...

I found this cool repository of code you can place on an SD card which programs GoPro cameras to operate in many new ways. Is this type of thing possible with any of the IP cameras we use? Here's the link to what I'm talking about... http://diytripods.com/gopro-hack-autoexec/

I'd like my doorbell to trigger my IP camera when it's depressed. Can I simply add a 2nd wire from camera to button to act as a triggering relay switch? Would the low voltage from the doorbell's transformer be harmful? I use Hikvision and Dahua cameras, if that helps.

Ok, so I just installed my 20x 2mp Hikvision PTZ less than a month ago and set it up last week to take a time lapse of Mount Rainier. Loandbehold, I caught an avalanche or slide! It goes quick, but you can see it at the 19 second mark in the video. The video aired on my local news and a few...
