tomadom started following Passive Infrared Motion detection through glass?
-
I have a couple of Wifi security cameras which work great. I bought them to put in my car because I know someone is coming to tamper with it at some point. I do realize that there are dash cams with motion detection but they are too expensive. I'm not looking for G-Sensor technology. So the camera's I have, incorporate PIR (Passive Infrared motion detection) but the problem is that this tech doesn't seem to work though glass windows. Is there any way to make it work through glass windows? I can't put the camera's outside the care or they will get stolen. They must be in the car. What's the solution here? I need motion detection but it won't work through the glass car windows. Is there another option? Thanks

Kestrel Viewer App not working

Sever down again! -
The ones I am using is TP link. They don't seem to have an IP address but I will look. I have TP-Link TL-PA717 but these 2 devices do not use the internet. They are hard wired to the CCTV camera and the other hard wired to the recorder. What is the IP address to do with this? Communication of a powerline adapter is through powerlnes not through WI-FI.
-
Hi. If your using your Powerline adapters straight from out of the box they still work however if using more than 1 set then it is best to give each pair its own local iP address this is easy done by looking at the login iP of your adapters (192.168.x.x) which you will find on it ….. first pair give them a new iP something like 192.168.1.70 on both and on the other set 192.168.1.71 on both and this will stop the conflict you are getting as both are using the out of box iP (both sets are the same)

I have a problem with a home CCTV system. I used to work in CCTV / Designer. I have 4 cameras. 1 is connected by cable ant 2 are connected by powerline adapters. The problem is if I connect a third powerline adapter the all go off. Some sort of cross talk problem I believe. How do you guys do this with lots of cameras or are they all connected by cable. In a large complex environment, it would be difficult to cable all the cameras. Hopfully you have all the answere's!

My Hikvision camera has an alarm output circuit that locally can be configured to close the circuit on certain events. Has anyone managed to remotely control the alarm output circuit reliably?
-
Good question. I don't know. They mention these standards: Support protocol: O NVIIF, HTTP, TCP/IP, ICMP, RTSP, RTP, RTCP, SMTP, DHCP, DNS, PPPoE, NTP But that doesn't always mean it would work correctly. It's almost worth a try at that price though.

Not getting into it here, but I need to install a few cameras like this... Amazon.com : Revotech Zoom Mini POE IP Camera, HD 3MP Indoor Security Camera 2.8-12mm Manual Zoom Lens P2P Remote View CCTV Video Cam H.265 (I712-P Black) : Electronics Does anyone know what POE NVR would be compatible with it? Revotech themselves doesn't seem to make any NVR's anymore. And all the others tend to say things like "limited compatibility with other cameras than their own. Don't care brands, just need POE, 4-6 cameras that are mini like that (easily hidable), ability to review back, and of course the lower the cost the better. Thanks for recommendations.

Hi. Your problem is … it’s a lorex (dahua) not very good software for on screen or remote viewing mate you using the fusion software ??? are you on iP cameras or analog and were are you based
-
Hi Guys & Gals, I have a Lorex system installed now for a couple years and seems that either it's lacking some basic features or I'm not totally up on it's operations. I've talked to the folks at Lorex and most of them are hard to understand and they tell me the system does not have these features which seem basic. I have 12 camera's, the are Model E892DD and my DVR is a Model N862A6 1) It does not have a long recording save time, just a few days, I suppose a larger hard drive would remedy this. Seems that 30 days would be nice. Any idea of how hard the hard drive should be? Maybe part of this issue is because I am recording all the time versus just when an episode? 2) I would have thought that I could somehow get a notification when there was some movement in a specific area? 3) When in playback mode, it's very hard to look say every 30 or 60 seconds, It jumps too far forward or backwards. I have a system at my job that allows you to "stretch" the time bar to get a more finite look at playback. 4) One of my camera's constantly goes out, I have to unplug the DVR and plug it back in. When home easy to do, but when away from home and I want to view from the road.....I'm SOL. Lastly, I can't always view from my laptop when away from home, it just won't load all the time. They tell me I need a stronger connection but it also happens when I'm home on my laptop when on the home network. Would a new DRV give me the features I'm lacking? On another note....if someone could help me with these settings during a phone call while I have it up, I'd be happy to paypal you for your time. Thanks Bobby

Hi. There is none for a unit of that age also most of there apps have been removed because of malware

Do you know of an update for this version or its conversion???
-
I require for diy installation a outdoor camera with pan tilt and possibly zoom, that I can view and control via smartphone and tablet, that will connect to router with ethernet cable NOT just wifi. Also is it possible with such a camera to use a stand alone power supply to supply the unit in case the router has insufficient capacity. Makes model and suppliers would be appreciated.

Hi that’s a 10 year old dvr and looks like you have tried to update with firmware that’s not supported also your best option is get another dvr … your like many others is full of spyware which is fully documented and you can’t fix …. Anything from Xiongmaitech is a bad unit also under the name xmeye

Adding new IP Cameras to Hikvision iDS-7216HUHI-M2
Darrenh posted a topic in Installation Help and Accessories
Hi all I bought 3 used Hikvision cameras (DC-2CD2346G2) cameras to add to my DVR (model iDS-7216HUHI-M2). I need some basic instruction in how to add them (they may or may not be factory reset). I have plugged the camera into the router directly and then have accessed the DVR settings via the browser and using System/CameraManagement/IPCamera .. can get to the "quick add" or "add" commands ... but when I do this I then struggle. I can see the new camera in the camera list but it shows as offline / IP address not aligned to others... Can someone help as to a) do I need to reset passwords on the camera, if so how and b) how to add it in line with the other IP cameras. thanks D -
Hi All I have a Hikvision Nvr with 6 Cameras attached. I am wondering if i could add a couple of battery wireless cameras to the NVR something like a Blink or Tapo or any suggestions would be welcome so i can view them on my cctv monitor. I cannot get any cable to the place where i want to install the camera.

Does anyone have a more detailed schematic so that I can troubleshoot this without having to trace out the circuit by hand? Thanks in advance. Notes: I get no light, the LED lamps were ok tested with an external lab PS. The light sensor is ok. The FET (p-ch) appears not shorted (gate not being pulleed low so it is not turning on and regulating). The internal 15V ps is ok.

Wifi Dual lens camera !
tomcctv replied to zjor2000's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Hi. You will need to give details of your ptz BUT being Wi-Fi only im guessing it’s a smart camera ….. cctv and smart cameras are too different things and should not get mixed up with each other usually app controlled cameras are proprietary and intrusive I would recommend no one uses them- 1 reply
