    Replacement camera for front gate

    I bought 2cd2020f-i for around $60. I already tried that. The connector works fine if you supply an external 12v power. The POE board is toasted.

    Replacement camera for front gate

    I had a hikvision ds-2cd2020f-I installed on my front gate. It wasn't the best camera but it did the job ok. Due to heavy rain recently, the POE stopped working. When I power it with a 12V it is detected but direct POE connection doesn't work which means the POE board likely fried. I am now...

    Looking for a cheap wifi camera

    I am looking for a cheap indoor ip camera with built-in microsd card storage. I don't have internet access at the location where i am planning to install it.

    Using POE IP camera as a peephole camera at the main entrance with a video monitor

    Re: Using POE IP camera as a peephole camera at the main entrance with a video monito How about using 7 inch winbook tw700 ($59) or 8 inch winbook tw801 ($99) that runs windows 8.1 and has a full size USB port? You can use USB to LAN RJ45 ethernet adapter ($3 on ebay) to connect your camera?

    Front Gate IP Camera

    I do have DS-2CD2132F-IS with 2.8mm lens but the unit is a bit bulky for a 6 feet high wall mount. Maybe a super mini pinhole camera is better and cheaper option?

    Front Gate IP Camera

    Please suggest a good high res IP camera (preferably smaller form factor) for my front gate with a wide angle field of view, is water proof and has onboard storage. Built-in sound and/or speaker will be great to have . The camera will be mounted at a max height of 5-6 feet. I am looking at...

    Wifi Doorbell

    I still think there should be a way around it. I don't really need the whole thing to be WiFi. Maybe a custom solution like an IP camera with two way audio and builtin speaker and a door button when pressed sends a push notification to your smartphone and ring the chime as well (in case you miss...

    Wifi Doorbell

    @gearbest: That ACTOP doorbell is available for $115 at aliexpress. Even if you sell it for less than that, i am still not sure if the unit is reliable. Do you have any video samples of its 0.3MP camera?

    Wifi Doorbell

    It will be nice to have a 1.3 or 3M hikvision camera with two way audio and a built-in speaker. DS-2CD2432F-I or DS-2CD2432F-IW will do the trick but they are not waterproof which is a must in my case. I will also need a way to unlock the door remotely.

    Wifi Doorbell

    My samsung doorlock isn't z-wave compatible either. By wired solution, do you mean a regular video doorbell intercom with indoor display? would you care to share your experience with skybell and how is it unreliable?

    Wifi Doorbell

    I already have power and ethernet wire connection. This setup is for my steel front gate where there will be an electric lock (http://www.viro.it/Pagine/Menu.asp?Lingua=EN&Divisione=Ferramenta&Fam=5) and am not sure such locks are zwave compatible. Can you suggest a reliable solution?

    Do i really need an NVR?

    I received it last week but i haven't installed it yet as my house is currently being built. You need to have a POE switch or 12v power adapter as it does not come with any. I tested the camera and had some issues viewing the live feed initially but it works fine now. I need to test all the...

    Wifi Doorbell

    I am looking for a Wifi doorbell intercom that can send push notification to my smartphone and let me talk to the visitor via smartphone. I know there is skybell, ring etc but they all lack door unlock feature. I found some on Aliexpress...

    Do i really need an NVR?

    great.. Since there is 64gb storage limit for microsd card, what are the recommended settings for recording? should i go with full 1080p with 25fps recording or 5fps should be fine? b.w what is average recording time per day for motion detection videos only? (there is not much activity around my...

    Do i really need an NVR?

    I am planning to buy around 4 IP cameras (POE) for my home. The cameras will be having built-in micro SD for recording short clips. Should i just buy a POE switch, connect all the cameras to it and then connect the POE Switch to my router so i can access these cameras via my PC or Phone? i don't...
