As per the title, it is up and running. Quite impressed with the quality of footage day and night. For now I have only tested it indoors, need to find my 20m Cat 5 cable to test it out on moving cars to record number plates. Also set up a DDNS server and can view live footage over the mobile phone. All in all, this is a great camera and the software has heaps of useful features. One thing I can't work out, how do you set it to dual streaming? I want to view the H.264 over the mobile so I'm not using up heaps of mobile data but then record the best MJPEG image to the computer HDD. Will post up some video and screen shots later.

I would like to see a review of the Bosch Flexidome in an outdoor setting. Interested in face capture/recognition out to 10m under minimal lighting conditions.

How does that go at any speed above stationary? I have been looking at Youtube video of a Hik 2232 attempting plate capture at night and it fails miserably. Perhaps it would be better with IR illumination and with different settings?

Where are you storing the footage, I assume you have factored that in too? A wireless router or computer will use extra power?

Ok thanks mate. Found the TPlink sf1008p locally for $59, so have ordered one.

Ok, so I will need to get a splitter as well, like: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Mini-802-3af-Fast-Ethernet-POE-Splitter-5V-9V-12V-Output-DC48V-Input-for-Security-System/32234396509.html If, down the track, I go for a POE switch, what would you recommend? There will probably only be -4-6 cameras to service. Thanks for your advice so far " title="Applause" />

Cool, thanks for that. I'm running an I7 laptop with 4GB RAM and 150GB of free disk space. Will look at BlueIris given the price.

Also, what do you recommend for a VMS? Blue Iris sounds good, as does Milestone XProtect. Or is IVMS 4200 just as good?

If these are passive POE injectors/splitters, you'll need a power supply for them as well. Do you have a link to them? That looks like a standard plug to me? Should be able to go to any electronics store and get one to suit it. http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6463445734.html?orderId=65556555072221 Item specifics Brand Name:XINRAYModel Number:POE001 Product Description 5PCS/LOT RJ45 Connector 12V 1A POE Injector Power over Switch Ethernet Adapter POE001 For POE Camera Hikvision IP Camera Adapter Mini Style Passive POE Injector w/ LED Indicator New Hot Sale POE:pin(45 78) for power + pin(1236) for data; LAN:pin(1236) DC: 5-52V power Green power indicator Standard:IEEE802.3af(at)POE standard power over Ethernet

Yep... It was $8USD I will run it through our current router, if I decide that a multiple POE switch is needed that can be purchased down the track. What POE switch is recommended by the guru's? Don - I don't know if it is a discontinued model, perhaps that's why it was so cheap?

From this company, with a 6mm lens. Testing it out to see if I will install a few more on our new house. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hikvision-DS-2CD2232-I5-3MP-Bullet-IP-Camera-2-Array-IR-LED-Full-HD-1080P-POE/1886098419.html Also bought a lot of 5 POE injectors from the same place for $7.99USD Would have loved to have the money to splash out on a Bosch Dinion 8000 that BW reviewed recently, might have to save my pennies for that one! Hopefully will put up some pictures shortly, along with my impressions.

The Bosch 733 appears to have been discontinued, previously priced around the $800-$900 mark? The Dinion 80052 BA is 5MP and priced around $1100-$1300 online, excluding cost of a CS mount lens. When you buy one, make sure you post a review up here

I can't find any footage taken using one of these camera's anywhere on the internet. Is it too new or have I not searched thoroughly enough? They appear to be very good camera's, coupled with the appropriate lens. Checking the Australian website, it seems they are not available over here. As is the case with other IP cameras, can you hook the Bosch ones up to a router and view the footage using something like Milestone?

Wow, those camera's do look fancy. Plus there is only 9 months to wait until they are released

Just saw that these camera's are out. They look to be a bit better spec than the KCM 5611 albeit with only 12x zoom. How do the two compare? Buellwinkle - Any plans on doing a review of this model?
