    It's literally hanging off a board screwed to the side of my desk at the moment, in the middle of my theatre. So the furthest it's viewed is about 12 feet and in a purposefully dark room (great for IR testing though). I wanted to make sure it was going to link up to BI and that all the PTZ...

    protect outdoor cable connections with silicon tape

    Found this at my local Harbor Freight for less than $5.00: I'm going to seal my connectors before putting them in their junction boxes anyway. Haven't opened the stuff to see how it feels... it claims to not be sticky, but it "adheres to itself." We'll see this weekend.

    Same supplier, great price, well built, very fast shipping. Your link is the same one as mine, but I wanted Audio too, hence the $24 more on my order. Their listings are contradictory... in many places. They always list the same model number (HD5MP73) but give it different specs based on the...

    Yeah... seller said, (in broken english) "You can let him work five hours, automatic evaporation fog, never to appear." So as of last night, no further fog on lens, so I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that it was a one time deal. I'd hate to find out I have a problem when the camera is...

    Oooohhh... Gotta say, I wasn't too happy about finding this when I came out to check on the camera this morning: Fogged up on the inside. Surely there is a small packet of silica stashed somewhere inside the camera housing... or would that not be a good idea? It's not on the lens tonight...

    No hijack, exposure is a question I had too. I intend to mount this on the corner of my Chimney as high as possible (but below the smoke :)). It will be totally exposed, but then I live in Sunny California. Snow here is the least of my worries. It claims to be IP66 waterproof/weatherproof...

    Ok, I couldn't help myself... This thing is a gas. Mounted it on an upright board attached to my desk for a bench test, Applied power, Fought the Active-X driver for a while (ugh). Logged in, Updated the Password, Updated IP to fixed address, Logged back in... duh, Gave the camera a name...

    Well, the box was in great shape... it wasn't double boxed with crushable interior pieces, but there appeared to be no damage at all from the outside: Apparently it's the right Moedl [sic] number: Everything inside looks good. Can't wait to fire it up: Now, before I apply power... There...

    I've got Friday off and may get a chance to mess with it. I'll certainly post something when I can. Mostly at this point I'm anxious to see if the specs of the camera match what I thought I was buying. :)

    Per DHL, delivered! Stopping by Lowes to pickup another 500' box of Cat5e on the way home. Woohooo... [So far I'm impressed...3 days from Hong Kong, China to Hollister, CA is not bad at all]

    What's with the "Predator" image problem...?

    Just for kicks, I logged into my BI Server remotely, opened a CMD window and fired off a non-stop Ping to the wired camera in question... let it go for a while, and it never missed a beat, less than one millisecond every time. No packet loss. I'll check these other suggestions too.

    What's with the "Predator" image problem...?

    Re: What's with the "Predator" image problem...? Great strategy... I'll work it one test at a time. Ping test tonight when I get home. (Or... come to think of it... I can remote access from here and fire off a Ping window). Thanx for your help nyar, you are a wealth of information...

    What's with the "Predator" image problem...?

    I assume what I am watching when I play a "clip" in BI is the recording from "direct-to-disc," am I not? (since each camera is configured that way)

    What's with the "Predator" image problem...?

    OOOoooo... I like the ping idea. Hadn't thought of that. To that hardwired camera, it's only about a 30' run through open attic space, straight to the router. Shouldn't really have any interference. And it never did this before the latest BI update. Would the use of Hardware Acceleration...

    What's with the "Predator" image problem...?

    That is a perfect explanation, thank you. I understand the "wireless" issue and the dropped frames, but the hardwired one doesn't make sense... it's configured the same as another identical hardwired camera at a much greater distance that never skips a beat. On top of that, I have two interior...

    Anyone? Any thoughts?

    What's with the "Predator" image problem...?

    Recently several (not all) of my cameras recordings have been creating a Predator effect (like in the movie). It has been since the BI upgrade that takes advantage of Hardware Acceleration (if that has any bearing). I have turned all HA off in all cameras, yet it still exists (this is a...

    Round junction boxes to mount DS-2CD2032-I Hikvision cameras

    Ace Hardware carries these for about $9.00, I have three of them now: http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=20374076 Drill the top plate easily because it's plastic. All four side plugs fit very snug, but you could glue them of course. Drill any one (or more) of the side...

    AliExpress question...

    I opened a Chat window and asked the question... but I think I was yelling down an empty pipe. I'll drop them an email. I just thought someone here might already know.

    AliExpress question...

    I've found a new place to spend hundreds of hours (and dollars)... and I keep seeing "is_customized: Yes" in the descriptions of various cameras and things... Does anyone know what the heck it means? Thanx in advance, Jim

    Saw your thread last night also. Once I get my camera, I'll post some insight. No sense starting my own thread about it. With respect to the order placed: Anything that shows up short of these specs will require at a minimum a partial refund in my opinion. Type or not.

    I read every line of that thread last night... part of the reason I went ahead and pulled the trigger to buy a Dome. I was looking at a Sunba earlier, but it was a huge thing that looked about the size of a basketball... ugh. I found the Imporx "mini" and liked it better, but never saw the...

    To be honest... I'm not sure what is going to arrive. The Title says 150m IR range, and 20X Zoom, but elsewhere on the page it lists 100m IR and 10X Zoom. Then lower in the listing it states again 20X Zoom. If I try to go to their website (as I did last night) all I get is browser errors and a...
