a tent or umbrella?

and I believe they are, perhaps it's an issue of the very low upload bandwidth from my home? My upload speed - as just tested via iPod right now - is 0.7 Mbps.

Thats what I had said at first.

IMO, vbr sounds like the right thing to do on paper, but when you log into a camera, and if there is no action, the image looks

very poor. I know it doesn't matter because nothing is going on anyway, but do you want to see a lesser quality image just

because there is no action going on? It's your choice, try it out, see what you think. As far as missing frames on a mobile device, I find they work best on wifi. I had an iphone 4s and would watch my cameras on 3G and they were ok. Than I upgraded to the 5 and if I'm on LTE, than I get even more fluidity. If I'm on fast wifi, the image boots right up and close to real time. So, keep in mind what is giving your mobile device internet, not just your DVR settings.

Yes, that is exactly what I was saying. By lowering the resolution, there is less data being processed by the ipod and on

that tiny screen, it wouldn't matter anyway so motion will look more fluent. You have nothing to lose by trying it out.

This is the one I meant: ICIPD1300IR. The last photo you posted.

Oh, OK

You can try upgrading your ISP upload speed. DSL is a step below the latest broadband today. I like setting my cameras to constant. There's less processing going on IMO and the image looks the same quality all the time. And if your not watching

on an ipad or a tablet, you can lower the resolution. Remember your smart phone is like 3 inches.

If I give a good deal on the cameras and install for free, how do I get my money back and get some earnings as well? I'm confused? These are sold by ADI for 250.00 each and I'm selling them for 100.00 each. I'm just amazed why I still have these

for sale?

Just be careful who you hire or use to install. See if they have referrals. I recently sold a camera system to a licensed electrician

that I met on a job. Our deal was he buys from me, installs it himself, calls me to come and set up the network and finish the job. Well, he calls me the other day and I go down to the job, a motorcycle bar, and I power up the dvr and the power supply. I look at the monitor and not one camera came on. I trouble shoot and discover he didn't strip the rg59 properly, so I stripped it and put on compression fittings. When I Climb up the ladder to focus the cameras, I notice he simply taped up the connections and ran the wires outside the side of the building. One camera up high had the connectors taped up and laying right in the gutter! I tell the guy it looks like a 4 year old child installed this! I asked him if he installs outdoor lighting like this and he says no, everything is sealed. He tells me he didn't think the camera lines had to be free from water. So, long story short, don't assume a licensed electrician will install your camera system perfectly. Ask questions to the installing company on how they will run the wires, how they protect connectors from the elements, what size hard drive your getting, or even if you can go visit one of their previous installations.

It should give you a nice picture both day and night.

or, since you said dome, maybe you meant to say the ICIPD1300IR?

Or did you make a typo and really meant to say ICIPB1300? Which is this camera..

What camera are you looking at? I am looking at the ICIPD1300.

Call the company back and tell him to buy Dahua. They're the same product as IC realtime but only less money. And that 1.3mp

camera you listed the model number, does not have night vision, not sure why he chose that camera? As far as price goes,

I'd rather not bad mouth anyone, but if your going to pay a company to install your camera system rather than DIY, than

get more than one estimate.

Where do you live?

Everything is recording at 1.2-2MP and 30fps continuous and VBR with highest quality setting and 8.2Mbps,

How many cameras on each NVR? Do you mean 8.2kbps for the bit stream? The Dahua 3216 NVR maxes out at 32000kbps

with the bit rate, so if you had more than 4 cameras on one NVR, you shouldn't have been able to set them at 8.2. Are you running PSS on a server or just recording onto each NVR? Otherwise, congrats on your wireless bridge.

Why are you posting this? I'm curious? Either it was a return and your distributor made a mistake putting it back

on the shelf and didn't check it, or the assembly line person was doing lines that day. But hey, I guess you just

want to vent or something, right?

You already have the swann system installed, why not keep them as is and add a few acti's in alternate locations to get

even more detail and/or different angles? If your going to spend the money and your paranoid to begin with, have as many

cameras all over your house as possible!

I'll take 125.00 each or 100 each if all of them are purchased. How does that sound?

ceksenior, what a small world it is. I live in the Crescent! I'm here for 41 years!

What is the model number of the camera? 5 amps is pretty high. I do not know size of wire by mm's. I only know gauge. When you order the cable, usually the seller does not calculate distance and sell you the required wire. The reason of plugging

in the camera and metering it is because you need to check the voltage under load. It sounds like your getting close with a

daytime picture, but once the IR's come on, the camera requires more power so it's shutting down. Can you run a wire to a

close outlet and just plug it in there and leave it like that? It sounds like your only choices are to run a thicker power cable

or power it locally.

Camera #1 is 192.168.1.200 and tcp port 8001 and http port 8002.

Go into router, port forward 8001 and 8002 to 192.168.1.200

Goto a remote computer and open Internet Explorer.

In URL bar enter http://your ddns server address:8002

or in PSS enter your ddns server address and port 8001 for TCP.

Your NVR will update your modems IP for you to the ddns server so when you goto your ddns and the port of the camera,

your router will direct you to your camera. Make sure your NVR and all cameras have seperate http and tcp ports and each

one has a port forward rule.

thats why these jokers told you to email them, they do not have any kind of support. You have to purchase Dahua

from a reputable website that has their own support.

If you really wanna get crazy, you can assign each camera it's own tcp port than port forward each IP of each camera to its own tcp port. Than remotely, enter your ddns URL than colon and the tcp port of the camera and you will see the interface of that camera rather than the NVR!

Bump, still for sale. . . . . . . . . . .
