Help a noob out with a surveillance setup
lscrx replied to guidoverduci's topic in General Digital Discussion
The remote app only lets you view one camera at a time, but the PC program lets you view them simultaneously. Not sure why you would want to see multiple live shots on a mobile device, they'd be too small unless you were using an iPad or something. You absolutely can do remote playback with TriVision, the app lets you view any of the recordings on the SD card. -

That one isn't PoE, and has zero reviews... the ones I'm using seem much better. With the TriVision NC-335 I have night vision, PoE or AC power, 1080 HD, audio, internal DVR (microSD), external NAS or FTP support, etc. and you can add cameras one at a time, no need to buy 4-8 cameras at once. Not saying the Dahua cameras are bad, I haven't used them, just that I've had good experiences with TriVision. -

Snagshout isn't a spam site, you can buy products at a discount IF you agree to review it afterwards, good or bad. And the $179 camera was only $49 when I "snagged" it, and then three more. I had an issue getting the cameras setup with a static IP, and the TriVision tech support was very responsive via email. Most of the stuff on Snagshout is junk, but not everything. I snagged a 6' HDMI cord for $.99 the other day. -
Best IP Camera brand that you use.
lscrx replied to jack.agetro's topic in General Digital Discussion
I am using TriVision (http://amzn.com/B00Z7B11XM) bullet cameras, but I've seen the same cameras for sale with different brand names. The Anyscene app works well, as does the included Camera Live software for my pc. The only issue I have is that sometimes when viewing remotely with the app, my driveway cam says it's offline or that the password is incorrect... I can tap the "connect" button and it will join... minor inconvenience. When I had static IP issues the tech support was really fast/helpful via e-mail, but they don't have a solution for the camera that sometimes shows up as offline when it isn't (only when outside the LAN). I manage large computer networks for work, and have virtually nothing to do with corporate camera systems unless they need switchports configured. My camera setup and experience comes 100% from what I do at my house, and my budget for home surveillance is pretty limited (I get a lot of second hand networking stuff though, which is handy!). -

Um, hello? I am currently using the setup described, and they work great. And I don't sell anything, I'm a consumer, but thanks. Want proof? -

I'm a noob as well, always wanted a camera setup, but I didn't want to buy something cheap... just to have to upgrade later. Then I came across these TriVision cameras (http://amzn.com/B00Z7B11XM), they are self contained out of the box, but have the ability to join a more structured system in the future. If you have one, it can record to itself on a microSD card, and you can access it remotely or locally via your wireless network. I currently have three running on my wireless network, with a fourth waiting in my office to get installed. I just got 1,000 feet of CAT6, so I'm going to hardwire them and power them off a PoE switch. Right now they're all on AC power and connected on wireless, which makes them really easy to expand as funds allow. Once they're all running to one switch, I'm going to buy a NAS for the cameras to download to. Right now they all record internally to microSD cards (64gig), which works great, but they can be a little slow to access over wireless. My favorite thing about them, is how easy they are to access remotely, I can check on my house from anywhere I have cell service or wifi. If you want any more information on my setup, just ask. I'm still learning as well. ps I bought all my cameras through Snagshout (www.snagshout.com) at a pretty big discount, the site is legit, although 98% of the crap they offer is stuff I would never buy.
