Cantonk 4MP Camera

[FONT=&amp]Temporarily set out the KIP-500DR20H I received from Cantonk, huge difference from my analog cam in daylight. I hope it is as good at night. Still need to run a wire for it.

are you running it at 1080P?
 
is it just me, or does the aspect look off in the Cantonk image?
things look normal in the 4x3 analog view, vertically-flattened/horizontally-stretched in the 5MP 16:9 view...
 
Right now everything is at default, only changed IP. I need to learn what everything is.

How about this one? First was a snip from the utility that came with the cam, second was a snip from BI.

Yes, it should be 4:3 picture, unless it's set to 1080p then it will be stretched.
 
That's more like it

I've noticed sometimes the Web UI will be distorted slightly or even a bit dark but it looks ok in BI. I don't know what the difference is I record direct to disk.
 
With those pictures i wish i wasn't a cheap ass and went with a higher MP from them.
 
on the one with the porch lights on (@9:52pm) , there seems to be some serious motion blur on the person coming thru the door.
or do you live with the Predator?... :-)

LOL, no one coming through the door. That is a spring bonnet my wife has up for decoration, maybe the wind was blowing.

ah. that explains it. looking at something i couldn't ID + the reflection off the front door tricked my eyes... :-)
 
Well, I may have to return one of the three cameras. I have to manually unplug it once a week because it has issues. The last issue was no video and now it is showing a 10sec clip from Sat at 9am in a loop. I am picking up a remote to control the power reset because I hate having to go up into my attic every time.
The other two cameras have been flawless so far.

That should fix the video issue. I discovered another annoyance with these cameras today. The option for POE has to be requested for an additional $6.00. That does not make me happy. I will add more to the review as it comes along though.

So, if you don't get the PoE option, it's powered by 12v instead?

I just received a KIP-500DR20H from Alex at Cantonk and it had the inline. I don't like that either. Won't have time today to do anything with the camera but maybe tomorrow.

The verbiage on the price sheet was confusing for the PoE, so if you add $6 to it, you get the inline or or just gives you PoE support? It just sounds like you have to piecemeal the camera to get PoE support? By default, if don't opt in for the $6 poe, does it run on 12v only without any PoE functionality?

Yes it has the 12v option. You can probably do your own POE splitter to work with these cameras. The price sheet Is very confusing. You can also add Audio to a lot of their models as well it doesn't list.
