    Indeed I'm at the wrong forum. I don't know how to check for that feature and I'm not going to spend time on that now to feed some self-acknowledged paranoia. At least it makes sense now where this hostility is coming from. If people had had a better attitude I might have taken the time to...

    The turn this thread is taking is not coherent because of you @mat200. Here is why: the author of this thread shares his experiences about this and other cams and asks for feedback. I share my experience and ask for feedback. Part of the feedback I ask for is about a cam that has...

    My stuff was shipped from KY as tracked by UPS, it got here in 4 days including order day. Owner of that eBay account ships from China and stock he has in the USA as well. My cam and NVR are everything so far that they were made out to be. So I haven't seen any discrepancy. Obviously @mat200...

    IPC-HDW4631C-A - any thoughts?

    Ok I'll take time and energy to reply. The person in charge of security--cctv ships from Walton, Kentucky and from China as well. If it's shipped from KY is a lil more expensive. That's the products I got. Got my stuff in four days from day of purchase tracked by ups from day and indeed it...

    So my NVR is fine. Great (though according to this thread I'm not to trust the NVR description either). So the problem COULD be with the $70 cam. Well, but I do trust it so far because of three things: 1. Vendor description--that's how I would go by and have done for most (99%) of my...

    Advertisement doesn't say anything about inability to upgrade. Software itself looks upgradable. Don't know if it will stay in English or not and not interested in testing it as it is working perfectly. From a quick reading about the Dahua hack, this affected all kinds of Dahua equipment...

    Also what I said about that camera from bnh has to do with the look and specs...they seem identical. So identical looks and identical specs equals the same...but REMEMBER I'm a total noob so idk.

    I'm a little confused. How do I know for sure (if there's a way) whether I have an international vs Chinese cam? Software has the option to upgrade even automatically. NVR came with a quick guide in English. If I CAN upgrade does that mean is safe to connect to the internet?

    Hi this is my first post, I'm a total noob! Interested in a security cam, looked online and found out that SCW makes some great stuff but seemed too expensive. Found another website (backstreet surveillance) less expensive. Similar quality stuff with a discount going on and was about to buy a...
