I have my hikvision set up to send 10 pictures at a 1 second interval (when triggered) to my ftp server on my home sever, works fine. I won't to use online storage to save these pictures, so I set up an account with ADrive, which has ftp access. The first picture is sent through within a second of being triggered but then there is about a 10 second delay until the next picture is received then about 6 seconds gap between the other 8 pictures. Any idea what is going on here?

I have a hikvision DS-2CD2732F-IS which has audio inputs: RIN/MIC+, LIN/MIC-, MIC_GND. There is a option in the settings to select MicIn or LineIn. I bought a Microphone/Amp for CCTV Cameras from Jaycar http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=QC3434 I can't seem to get this to work. I have tried connecting the audio out from the Jaycar mic to RIN/MIC+ and LIN/MIC- and I have also tried it with the MIC_GND bridged to LIN/MIC- both result in distorted audio, I can hear stuff if I turn the speakers right up but its not good. Also tried switching between MicIn and LineIn...no luck. Is this the right mic for this camera? or am I doing something wrong?

Its my first IP cam, I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing, but yeah it doesn't make sense. Its a Messoa NCC800. My external PIR sensor is 12V so I'm not sure if I can just put 12V into it either.

tried that. the only way I can get the external alarm ports to trigger is to put +5V into the ALM-IN+ and ALM-IN- ports

This is from the IP cam manual: I/O: Connect your external devices, e.g., sensor and alarms to the corresponding I/O terminal block. The pins of the I/O terminal block controls the following signals: 1 GND Ground (electricity) in electrical circuits. 2 ALM-Out Connect to device that responds to alarm signals. The camera uses an NMOS transistor with source connected to GND. If used with an external relay, a diode must be connected in parallel with the load to protect against transient voltages. 3 ALM-IN - Connect to device that triggers alarm signals. Connect to external power source negative side (0V) to activate. 4 ALM-IN + Connect to device that triggers alarm signals. Connect to external power source positive side (3.3V~5V) to activate. I have a external PIR sensor which has a N/C relay switch output. How do I connect this into the above pins on the IP cam?

I keep getting false motion detection on my Messoa NCC800 IP cam. I have the motion detection sensitivity set to 1 (out of 100) but I'm still getting false alerts. Changes in light seem to be triggering it. oh and on that setting it doesn't detect motion at all haha so yeah it's fairly useless.

newb question here...I just got my first IP cams, a hikvision and messoa. I want to set these two cams up to record and also send an email alert on motion detection. Both these cams have inbuilt software that can do the monitoring and send an email alert while my NAT will handle the video storage. I had a look at some NVR software but what I can't understand is why would I want to constantly stream my IP cam feeds to my server, using up bandwidth, and also having the NVR software using up CPU power when I can just to all the processing at the cams themself. Am I missing something here?
