OK thanks Troll. I think you brought this thread down to the "my dad is bigger than your dad" level of childishness. The exit door is in the top-right, you can leave whenever you like, you did say you were only staying for one post IIRC.
I will keep warning people against cheap Chinese rubbish like Sricam because:
1) I don't want people making a mistake buying this rubbish. Everytime you reply to a Sricam post saying it's fantastic quality, there is a change someone will buy a camera believing your complete spouting of rubbish. It's almost inevitable they will return here asking for help to get that crap working.
2) I don't want people thinking that the quality is amazing because they are comparing it to 420TVL utter junk. If they bought a decent camera in the first place they would realise that their Sricams are terrible.
3) I actually want to help people buy decent and reliable gear and the right cameras for them. Those who have bought the right gear but grey-imported it and hit problems then I and others try to help.
Why you keep recommending them is beyond me (maybe you work for Sricam, maybe you are Uber, maybe you really are a total idiot), it's not like you offer any significant support to the people asking for Sricam support on a daily basis like others did with their Huisuns. So I guess you are just trolling, it's just that your trolling might cost some innocent soul some money one day.
I will post this every-time some idiot recommends Sricam. Sricam should never be used for security unless you are not taking security seriously. They are fine for a dog camera if you want to spend hours trying to setup but there are better options available.

As an adios, here's some reviews from Amazon rather than some back-water paper, there are literally hundreds and the bad ones outweigh the good, and the good ones generally state the quality was great after I spend 1000 hours getting it to work. Btw I just copied the first 3 I found:

The item was purchased as a starting point for a small IP surveillance system for my home.
Initially the camera was used as a standalone device with its motion detect feature and uploading to FTP service Cammy (cammy.com). While the service itself worked, the motion detection was flawed and missed a significant number of large events. The camera was aimed at my car, me getting into the car and driving off would often not be picked up by the camera motion detect feature.
At first I wasn’t too bothered about this since I was planning to purchase a NVR that will record continuously. When I did purchased the NVR,' I was surprised to see it would not detect or connect to the camera in any way', even though it would work ok with another camera.
This meant I couldn’t use the camera with a NVR for continuous recording and I couldn’t use it reliably for event recording with motion detection.' The only reliable way of using the camera was to view the images real-time on my PC or smartphone on my network, not even outside my home. This defeats the purpose of the product.'
Depending on what you aim to use this camera for, you might find it useful. I returned mine for a refund.

Not as it should be!

The camera arrived very quickly and looked really good when I unpacked it! Plugged it into the router and connected the adapter and it immediately started talking to the network...GREAT... Installed the software ( after some difficulty ) and set the camera up to use wifi. Disconnected the ethernet cable and that's where things went pear-shaped. No matter what I do I cannot get this camera to work wirelessly.. I have tried over and over again but to no avail. Therefore I set it up as a hardwired unit using an access point and everything worked...EXCEPT the infra-red ...Darkness came and I was presented with a blank black screen... So this camera has not been tested properly at the factory and has been shipped in a faulty state...I'm sending it back!

This is garbage. I thought I would save a few quid ...

This is garbage. I thought I would save a few quid over the FOSCAM, and I've just ended up pulling my hair out. I think the manual was written by a poorly educated person from the country of manufacter and then it was then translated into English with a beta copy of Google translate. I've worked in networks etc for 20 years and it made no sense to me. This poor standard also applies to the software, it's junk. When I finally got it working wirelessly the picture is also rubbish. The connector is far too large to drill a hole and install through an outside wall. So... do not buy one of these, by a decent brand.
