Hi All
ok so recently i`ve bought two exterior wifi bullet cameras that came direct from china, although silly me thought they were local uk companies but were infact rebranded websites. One was a hikvision and the other a hosafe.
The hikvision, seemed fine apart from appalling wifi I managed to brick because the firmware didnt support domain name for ftp which I required for mangocam which I already use for my internal d-link cams. I upgraded to the latest firmware that fixed this problem and its never come back to life, I spent 2 days trying!
I bought a hosafe, from what I thought was a local supplier thinking it would be safer and that too arrived fast post from china. And that also has problems with ftp. Contacting support has fallen on death ears. Hikvision dont want to know because its a chinese import, chinese support is silent.
So now after having two new door stops in my house i`m going to try one more time. But I want something that works, with ftp and mangocam ie an ftp which uses a domain name not an ip. Preferably 720p upwards and must have wifi.
Any suggestions. No more than £100/$140us
THanks
