    HikVision and Powerline Adapter help please! (And Synology)

    Yeah its a one time thing for the licenses, not a subscription. But the NAS aren't known for the processing power, that's why a lot of recommendation go to newer i5 or i7 processors. Just something to consider in case you run into some problems. I don't have experience with the Powerline so...

    HikVision and Powerline Adapter help please! (And Synology)

    Whats the bandwidth on those adapters? Some use them with no problem, others have problems so its a mixed bag. Also, Synology NAS drives require you to buy licenses per camera and the numbers I've seen can be expensive. Have you looked into that? Just something to be aware of if you...

    Help with IP Camera purchase

    Are you buying patch cables or terminating your own cables from a spool? If you're not used to working with cable, Cat6 won't make a difference. It'll take a little getting used to but its def doable. I ordered Cat6 for my installs but started practicing terminating the cables with Cat5e so...

    To Ken if you look at your forums

    But you also have to understand its a one man business and putting them on blast in not one but two different threads is going to rub people the wrong way. Your expectation of customer service needs to be tempered a bit, you're not dealing with a Fortune 500 company with 24/7 tech support lines.

    1 or 2 Camera Surveillance System Using Home Computer

    Not sure if you're joking or not but you don't wanna spray the camera with that. As far as how much of a problem it is based on location, I live/work in Northeastern PA. Home cameras are turrets which don't provide my home system any issues but the bullet cams at work have new spiders in the...

    Question about PoE switches

    Texas summer heat, might be better to put in a Network Storage box with some fans as opposed to the attic. Do you have a closet or any other place you could mount/store them where it would have lower temperatures? I know some like to use the garage but I've also heard people suggest that's a...

    Live View Lag?

    I'm around 2 seconds if i'm viewing within the LAN. That's with HikVision turrets, OptiPlex i5-4790, Asus RT-AC68p router and an iPhone 6Plus

    New Member with a question (imagine that)

    Whats the distance from the table top to the ceiling? Distortion is an issue with lower sized lenses (2.8mm and 4mm). I have a recently installed 6mm at my front door and don't notice distortion or much bending. I'd imagine a 6mm, 8mm or maybe 12mm would be fine depending on how high you...

    Blue Iris - Random Network Issues with Cameras low FPS

    It's in BI. Go into each cameras properties. Under the video tab, click configure. In that new box it'll be halfway down on the right hand side. By default it's set to 3 I believe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Blue Iris - Random Network Issues with Cameras low FPS

    Did U try setting the buffer to 20mb? I dunno if it would help. It's weird that the frame rate would automatically drop tho, I don't know if I faulty switch would cause that, I've only read about fault switched losing connection completely at various times. I'm not saying it didn't cause their...

    Could be. I remember someone a few weeks ago had an issue with a bad NetGear PoE switch and I believe it was a 8 port too. How old is the switch? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Blue Iris - Random Network Issues with Cameras low FPS

    U said u took the Powerline adapters out and wired them with an Ethernet cable. I'm saying run another cable from the PC to the switch. That will allow the cameras to record directly to the PC without all that traffic having to go thru the router. That way if the router is having an issue, the...

    Blue Iris - Random Network Issues with Cameras low FPS

    That makes no sense, u shouldn't lose either of those by running the PC to the switch instead of the router. They all maintain the same IP address as long as they are still connected to the same router. If u don't wanna run another cable, try increasing the buffers for the cameras to 20mb...

    Advice: Built-in POE vs. Switch

    I vote separately. You can also use the switch to power additional things, such as IR Illuminators if that's something you decide on later. Or you can just use the open ports on the switch to connect other devices to your network.

    Trying running the BI PC directly to the switch with the cameras. If there is an issue with the router itself, the cameras will still record to the PC if they are on the same switch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Check under the Video/Audio menu, in the Image Parameters. There should be a drop down towards the bottom that says "Infrared".

    Night vision setup or cam problem?

    I don't use the iVMS app so I can't answer that. I'd assume tho that you'll need to log into the camera direct via the browser.

    Night vision setup or cam problem?

    looks like the sharpness setting is high. Post a picture of your settings. It'll be in the camera itself, not BI, under IMAGE.

    Possible Baby Monitor Setup?

    You'll need a PoE switch or an injector but they are worth it in the long run. One wire and you're done. HikVision have a history of being reliable and a lot of people on here use their products and can provide additional support or trouble shooting if that's needed Sent from my iPhone using...

    Possible Baby Monitor Setup?

    Congrats on the new addition! Good decision on the idea of a camera. I can't speak for this particular model tho so I can't help there. Def go with the VPN. Given the sensitive nature of what it will be used for, def turn off any outgoing or inbound traffic to that particular camera from the...
