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.

My customer upgraded his cameras to IP megapixels so I pulled out this bosch camera. I sent it to Bosch to

get checked out and replace anything that needed to be replaced. I have the receipt and I paid a good amount for

a complete overhaul. This is a 1200.00 camera and works insane in complete darkness. This is not the actual

camera, but this is the one I am selling. I can provide pics if you email me. The price I'm looking to sell the camera

for is 600.00. Email me if interested, thanks.

The sell armored cabling that you can use for the wires that hinge from the door to the frame.

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.

I finished this job on saturday. One day with a helper. We piped all outdoor cameras and used Sony Effio 700tvl

vandal domes with 21 IR's and DNR. I turned the IR's off for the two in the lobby since there is sufficient lighting.

I might try to turn off the IR's on the outside ones just to test it out. The DVR is a chinese brand that uses

PSS software and/or internet explorer. I can also view them from smart phones using IDMSS app. The DVR is

full D1 main stream and recording and CIF for the extra stream. I also have a terrabyte drive in there. All

in all, I'm pretty pleased with the outcome. The attached image is from remote viewing from my home. Local connection is via HDMI to an HD monitor in the supers apt. Any critics if something can be better, feel free to let me know, thanks.

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

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??

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.

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

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.
