Hello, I do not know where to put this discussion.
But I have bought a CCTV-system from China with four cameras.
It is a very affordable system when it comes to the hardware, but the software is not perfect in some ways, especially the motion detection. I would like to manipulate the software, is it possible?
I get the feeling that all the "brands"/products in eBay (from china) comes from one or some sources, they have similar architectures in the hardware as well as the software.
Are any of you familiar with CCTV from china, and especially, can you manipulate the software in these products?
What I am interesting in just now is to set up a function where you can decide how many seconds an alarm should take before sending an e-mail. As a second option I would like to manipulate the motion detector (pixel detection) to calculate if it was a bug in front of the camera or if it was a human. Maybe the hardware is not sufficient to this task, but I would like to try.
I am also looking at combining Arduino with my CCTV camera system, to alarm by PIR and SMS and then look what the CCTV from china has recorded.
As you can guess, I am not satisfied how the CCTV pixel motion is handing things, I get a lot of detection alarms from bugs and leafs and also a change of light and many other things.
