    I had an issue with one of my cameras, it failed upgrade in Firefox, just got stuck after submitting file in web UI. Network inspector showed that it just uploaded part of the file, it seemed. Switched to Chromium, and it worked directly. Weird thing though, worked perfectly fine for some...

    Updated my 2231T-ZS-S2 with V2.800.0000000.19.R, Build Date: 2020-06-28 today, now I cannot adjust Zoom and focus (well, actually the controls to adjust works, so viewing the video under Live or similar is a workaround) In both Firefox and Chrome, the video is blank and in the Developer...

    Unauthenticated SMTP bugs (and workaround) (2231T-ZS)

    Hi, did not find any posts related to this so thought I'd just write it down, in case anyone else have similar issues. I've been trying to get my IPC-HDW2231T-ZS-S2 to send emails WITHOUT authentication to a local server, without any luck. The Test button just yielded a "Fail" message with no...

    HI3518E, supports single stream only?

    Hi, I got a couple of cameras with the HI3518E chip (HI3518E_50H10L_S39 according to Onvifer, cannot find this in the activex UI though). They are running firmware V4.02.R12.00006510.10010.1407, built 2015-03-17 09:44:44. Overall they seem to work good, but one problem I have is that I can...

    Review - TOP-201 Super Mini 720P HD IP-Cam (The Cheapest IP Cam So Far !!)

    So, I got two of these, and two similar in steel cases, for about $20 each. The firmware version reported is V4.02.R12.00006510.10010.1407 (built 2015-03-17 09:44:44), and Onvifer says the model is a HI3518E_50H10L_S39 (cannot find similar info in craptiveX UI though). Overall they seem to work...

    Review - TOP-201 Super Mini 720P HD IP-Cam (The Cheapest IP Cam So Far !!)

    Soo, rereading parts of the thread leads me to believe it's a Hi3518C chipset, since: Can someone confirm or deny that the Hi3518C chipsets are not much worse than the E chipsets, when it comes to basic video features? Basically, what I'm after is: * Stable h264 Video streaming with RTSP *...

    Review - TOP-201 Super Mini 720P HD IP-Cam (The Cheapest IP Cam So Far !!)

    Does anyone know which chip this one has, or has any experience with them? One of the "real pictures" shows firmware versino V4.02.R11.00002520.100010.0306 on a UI which looks very similar to the UI i got on my TOP-201...

    Review - TOP-201 Super Mini 720P HD IP-Cam (The Cheapest IP Cam So Far !!)

    Tried to reset all settings to defaults, didn't help. ffmpeg was executed with that parameter, otherwise I have to wait ~10s (at least on VLC) before it gives up on UDP (which is blocked by firewall) and falls back to TCP. The same setting can be made in VLC, Preferences -> Show all -> Input...

    Don, thanks for the ffmpeg tip. Should have done that immediately. It seems VLC has some issues rendering the stream, but ffmpeg outputing to a plain mp4 file does not have the same issues. (I did not use your scripts though, as I'm not on windows). Camera firmware...

    Review - TOP-201 Super Mini 720P HD IP-Cam (The Cheapest IP Cam So Far !!)

    A quick update on this. This problem occured the last night again. This led me to believe that it could be light-related, and so it seems. But the biggest part of the fix was to update VLC to a newer version, I noticed it did not hang on my laptop but only on my desktop, which was running an...

    1. The buzzing noise problem was solved by replacing the power supply.. I was using a switched 12VDC supply, which at least measured 12 VDC RMS, but something was apparently wrong with it. Using my linear lab supply it runs perfectly silent. 5. Yeah, noticed this when trying to fake user agent...

    Hi! I found this great information resource during investigating the TOP-201 cameras. I just bought 2 for fun, and after some experiments I got them partially working. My goal is to be able to get these working without using a Windows computer, and especially not any ActiveX (who could...
