    AliExpress - Who are people using?

    I paid $52 on a $1850 invoice to the USA via DHL, which is very fair, I know its much more then this for UK buyers, I also prefer to use Aliexpress sellers but finish the transaction outside Aliexpress, you are still protected if using paypal. Most sellers know this and want no problems.

    8 cams 16ch POE Costco Sale

    New arrival today, DHL is impressive

    The quality of the images and price make up for the plastic mount, but dont think this camera exists with a metallic mount as the DS-2CD2342WD-I is an entirely different cam.

    Camera keeps rebooting after changing IP port

    Do you get a page cannot be displayed or "unable to connect" when accessing from the browser? If unable to connect, it means the camera is online and detected, ensure you are putting :81 after the address, since the working cam is port 80, you dont have to enter any ports followed by the cams...
