Is D1 quality what you see in real time?
vector18 replied to BiGKaT's topic in Digital Video Recorders
It all depends on FPS also, not only D1 quality. D1 is only what resolution it will record the camera. If the FPS is not 30 or higher, you will not playback in realtime. As for streaming in D1, it also depends on connection speed and the more cameras your viewing, the less realtime you'll be viewing because each camera will take up upload speed and the more cameras your viewing, will slow down upload speed. If you have a DVR with full D1 every channel and every channel 30fps, it's best to watch 2 or 3 cameras at a time if using explorer or PSS. -
I'm considering purchasing a 960H dvr with 700tvl effio camera's. I searched the web and cannot find any online demo's. Does anyone have one out there that I can access to check it out? If yes, does it extra stream higher than CIF? Either shoot me a PM or if you don't mind, post it here so others can check it out as well. Thanks!

Can you look at the DVR and let us know the model number. Is there an ethernet cable plugged into the back of the DVR and the other end of the cable in your router?

I have a 4s and I have no issues with idmss. Just make sure that you have two different IP addresses to log in. If your on wifi on your home network, make sure you use your internal IP address and if your outside your house on 3g, make sure your using your external IP address or your DDNS.

I have an analog camera in my home in my kids room that I used to watch on my TV to watch them. Are there any cheap single channel ip wifi devices so I can stream that camera onto a ddns server and view it on my iphone and ipad? Would it just be worth it to buy one of those foscams on ebay??

3G Camera Shows During the Day and Blank at Night
vector18 replied to JP Wireless's topic in Security Cameras
A couple of things come to mind. Maybe the transformer does not have enough amps to allow the video image to be produced but just enough to power the IR's. Remember, when the IR's kick on, more amps are required. Another problem just might be with the camera itself. If it's new, it might be defective, if it's old, than it's probably on the way out the door. What you can do is connect a test monitor directly to it during the day and cover the IR sensor with your finger, put a meter to the power and check the voltage once the IR's kick on and watch your test monitor also to see if the picture goes out or not. -
Are they rolling lines? If so, possibly a ground loop?

I installed this system a few months ago. This is a remote view from my home. The cameras are ICREALTIME el-1000's and the dvr is an icrealtime. Due to a nice amount of exterior lighting throughout the house, the images at night are pretty nice. Attached is a night time view of the 7 cameras installed.

Does anyone have any experience and/or sample shots of these Array led cameras I've been seeing on ebay?

Do you have a link for a 1mp wifi IP camera with IR's?

Idmss is quirky. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't and it likes to crash. Make sure if your entering your local IP in settings that your connected to your local network. Some people make that mistake and when they leave their house, they wonder why they can't connect any longer. If you have all the settings correct, and your logged in, sometimes wait about a minute and the camera might pop up. I use idmss-t which I think is the updated version.

I had the same problem. I'm not sure which way, but I either raised or lowered the resolution of my computer monitor and all the missing parts appeared.

Just keep in mind that 599.00 price is without a hard drive. As far as the dvr itself goes, the website only tells us the compression is h.264 and it's 30fps. It does not tell us local recording resolution and streaming resolution. These days, it's best to get at least D1 for local recording at at LEAST CIF for streaming. If your not watching the cameras on your smart phone or remote viewing, you can only worry about local recording. Also, are you watching the cameras on your HD TV? Than it would be even nicer if the dvr had an HDMI output, which alot of them do these days. Before purchasing that dvr, which is still alot of money to be spending, make sure it's going to provide everything that you want.

Very nice idea. I Like it alot. What was your cost for the emitters and I would love a before and after pic of the protected area at least.

I wonder why your starlight camera picture did not show color during night vision? With non IR cameras with starlight, you remain in color rather than b+w like IR cameras. Also, when choosing a night vision camera, it is a good idea to get one with more than 52db s/n ratio. That means there will be less signal to noise ratio when in night vision. Another good option is to look for 2dnr or 3dnr which is digital noise reduction. Basically, when a camera is in b+w, it's resolution goes higher and more info is being sent to the DVR which causes noise. If you have a high s/n ration and DNR, the camera prevents that snowy grainy effect. And one more thing to keep in mind, what is the recording and/or viewing resolution of the DVR? If you have an awesome camera with a piece of crap DVR thats recording in very low res, when you view that camera on your big TV, it's blowing it up so much to fit the screen, the resolution just turns to crap.

Everything looks good and very though out. Just alittle criticism if your interested. The home depot outdoor boxes are way too big for what you need and it's a nice idea to mount the cameras on the boxes themselves so next to no camera wire is exposed. And an IR camera would have been better for the front porch because when the motion light is off, it's pretty dark. Otherwise, nice job.
