Thanks for the information. I appreciate it. What I'm seeing is that the settings on the camera change. I can't tell if it's the camera or whether the 'Surveillance Station' software is periodically making changes (really???). Once I get some time to play with it I'll see if I can tell where...

Wow. Major fail. I thought I had things working correctly but after last night I see I was mistaken. Last night was 'Trick or Treat' night for our area. I figured I would have plenty of video. I got virtually nothing. Is there a good thread (or documentation for a "Dummy") that I can review...

Note to self ... With a managed switch you have to remember to turn off STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) get the firmware to flash. Then you have to setup the camera configuration again... :shame: (Firmware successfully flashed.)

I did see the information on TFTP'ing the firmware and toyed with doing it but didn't find a good link to the utility. milkisbad just supplied me with all I need and I'll take a swing at it. I don't think the Surface RT is going to do it. Like the iPad, it's hobbled by design with regard to...

You ROCK! (Thank you!)

Late Tuesday I purchased the CMIP8232B 4mm (DS-2CD2032-I) from MilkIsBad. It arrived on Thursday. He was great to deal with (Thank you!). I installed the equipment over the weekend. Here's some thoughts ... The ZyXel GS1910-24HP is pretty loud. There's two fans in the unit and one of them runs...

For what it's worth ... I purchased a ZyXEL GS1910-24HP 10/100/1000Mbps 24-Port Gigabit Smart Managed PoE+ Switch from Newegg (Item#: N82E16833181234). Switch cost on the site was 439.99. They have a promo code of ZXSWTHOCT14 that expires TODAY (10/21) worth an additional $ 88.00 off of the...

Good to know. I'm here to learn what NOT to do as much as what will work.

Definitely good information.

I really did expect to start small and experiment. What I wanted to prevent was spending money on the 'wrong' device. Good advice and appreciated any way I look at it. No worries on the shed question. I had a good idea what you meant. Question: Are the variable zoom models 'discreet'? That is...

I will definitely try it before going with another computer. As a network administrator I do have access to 'retired' ones from the office so equipment isn't usually a problem for me. I agree. Absolutely no idea on style. I don't have power out at the shed. What would be great would be a...

spotco2 Thank you for posting these. I do like the 'real world' examples and appreciate you taking the time to do these. Any thoughts on what would be acceptable to turn into the police for identification purposes? Certainly the 6mm x 150' is too far. 6mm x 60'? 4mm x 40'?

Your post was one of the ones I ran across while lurking I found fascinating. Very cool the way you've got it working.

A couple of things to mention. I realized that the overhead drawing is a bit off. The 40’ measurement from the front of the house should be to the sidewalk (not the street) so the distances in the front of the house are a tad greater than indicated. We planted hedges this year around 3/4 of...

Greets all I've got a case of "Too Much Information". I am very confused and would appreciate any help you can give me. I already have a Synology DS214play and it would be great if I could use this to capture images / video. I'm very comfortable with computers and I'm in favor of POE. I do not...

Greets All! First a thank you for those board members that contribute so much. There's so much valuable information here that it's easy to get totally lost. (That's where I am now anyhow!) I've been lurking for a while and I guess it's time to pop my head up and ask for help. I'm from...
