    Nest doorbell software equivalent for ip cam

    Hi All I have a nest doorbell and also a couple of dahua ip cameras. I find the nest is such a pleasure to use , being able to scroll through the recording instantly, compared to the ip camera that I seem to give up as it is so slow reading off the sd card. Is there anything equivalent to Nest...

    Dahua blank screen for playback from browser

    Hi All, For some reason my Dahua camera no longer displays playback from the internet browser. I`ve tried 3 difference pc`s and nothing shows up. It is recording, and i`ve check with an app on my phone that shows recorded video. But not on the windows internet browsers (chrome, edge, firefox)...

    Away from house and half WiFi cameras disconnected from WiFi.

    I`m back home now and checked the cameras quickly. I tried rebooting the mesh network first but that didnt do anything so I had to power cycle the cameras in question. I`ve ordered a couple of Dahua poe cameras and will see how it goes with the others. As i said i`ve had the cameras for a few...

    Away from house and half WiFi cameras disconnected from WiFi.

    Thanks tangent. It's just the hassle of putting in network cables when I have a power socket nearby I can use USB to power the WiFi cables . I'm more confused that some of my cameras ara running and some aren't regardless of their location. I guess maybe some have just gone direct to my router...

    Away from house and half WiFi cameras disconnected from WiFi.

    Helpful comments. It is when there is the ease and cost of using WiFi cameras over wired. I've had WiFi for a few years without issue. First time after getting a WiFi mesh that I now had this problem.

    hikvision camera vanished from network after firmware upgrade

    Yes stupid me for following the manufacturers instructions to update its firmware going by what the label on the camera said to fix a problem of not working with ftp domain names. I bought a local produced camera for £60 more, the quality is better and it comes with a great ios app and worked...

    hikvision camera vanished from network after firmware upgrade

    Never fixed mine, spent hours on it, went out and bought a better quality camera. The hikvision is now a door stop to my study.

    I give up! (Chinese cameras) need help/recommendations.

    The ucam247 seems very good, i havent really touched the motion sensitivity but I have the app set to motion sensor and it seems to ping me reliably when there is any movement. I live in a quiet road and it picks up anyone who walks or drives past that i`ve noticed at least.

    The dcs-932l, bought them for £25 each. Quality is only 640x480 but they do the job.

    Maybe you should consider D-Link again, I bought these 3 months ago and theyve never disconnected once and easy to setup, and always on wifi. I have 3 of them.

    I give up! (Chinese cameras) need help/recommendations.

    Well finally success, received a Ucam247 1080p wifi bullet cam or Ycam as theyre also known, absolutely effortless install, good instructions and the wifi hasnt faulted for 2 days. I hung the camera out the window next to where I want it to be positioned and its fine, had to reduce the fps a...

    I give up! (Chinese cameras) need help/recommendations.

    ok thanks, but i dont understand why my cheap as chips dlink wireless cameras run flawlessly and these exterior ones are arriving either dead or failing soon after regardless of if they are wired or wireless. So like I say really just want to find a decent 1080p exterior camera that if I could...

    I give up! (Chinese cameras) need help/recommendations.

    Thing is none of the ones I bought were reliable wired, let alone wireless. At the moment wired is out of the question, unless power plugs would work? I only need one actually, as the front house camera will connect into our study where the NAS and router are. But for the rear of the house, need...

    I give up! (Chinese cameras) need help/recommendations.

    ok I really do give up now, I decided to buy a Foscam FI9900P wifi bullet camera. Spent 2 hours setting it up, got it all working. Then decided to try the wifi, and that was working for 30mins. Left the house and then it wasnt working. Came back and then pluged the ethernet cable back in and now...

    hikvision camera vanished from network after firmware upgrade

    I tried the first link to the5.30 downgrader you posted yesterday already and that one seemed to complete and then I could at least detect it on the sadp, albeit unresponsive. Today I tried that one again and it would no longer complete the TFTP . I ran SADP and nothing appeared for a few...

    hikvision camera vanished from network after firmware upgrade

    ok i`ve got a little bit more life out of this camera. It does now show up in the sapd and ivms tools but it doesnt seem to respond either in ivms or going through the web browser. I can see the netinfo though and the serial number within iVMS. Any ideas?

    I give up! (Chinese cameras) need help/recommendations.

    Yes have tried that downgrader and 5.3.0. It finds and then transmits the firmware but then it never completes. I`ve left it for 10 minutes and nothing, whereas the one that did work seem to say its completed in a minute. But then it never shows in SADP, i have the latest 3.0.0.2 version. I`ll...

    ok thanks DelBoy. Please let me know. I`m considering this from 1080p from foscam if I cant get either of these working. http://amzn.to/1TL5GcT bguy: Yes thats basically what mangocam were telling me. So I had to upgrade to 5.3.5 firmware for the hikvision for this to work. Unfortunately thats...

    hikvision camera vanished from network after firmware upgrade

    I`m attaching a photo of the camera and its label to see if anyone has an idea why I cant get it unbricked. I can only seem to get one chinese firmware to transmit and update correctly, the rest just complete transfer and do nothing (for 5-10mins). I`ve tried all many of versions 5.2.5, 5.3.0...

    Hi All ok so recently i`ve bought two exterior wifi bullet cameras that came direct from china, although silly me thought they were local uk companies but were infact rebranded websites. One was a hikvision and the other a hosafe. The hikvision, seemed fine apart from appalling wifi I managed...

    hikvision camera vanished from network after firmware upgrade

    Thanks, unfortunately already had a go with IPC_R0_CN_STD_5.3.0_150513.zip and tried the 1-line and 4-line but neither would finish the upgrade, just transfer completed and then nothing :-(
