    Review - TOP-201 Super Mini 720P HD IP-Cam (The Cheapest IP Cam So Far !!)

    I've done that. I also disable all devices that have a UPnP setting as an extra precaution. Must not be a separate UPnP setting on the TOP-201 I guess.

    Cheap 4K cams from Longse are here with IMX274

    Do you know when some other camera manufacturers besides Longse will start to use these same sensors?

    Review - TOP-201 Super Mini 720P HD IP-Cam (The Cheapest IP Cam So Far !!)

    Does anyone know how to disable UPnP on the TOP-201? I've looked under network services, etc. but I don't see a location where UPnP can be disabled. I thought maybe they just call it Cloud. Anyway, I have made sure the following has been disabled, curious if I missed anything or where that...

    Free VMS - 64 Channel

    But it says right here "With our owns R&D department (HEROSPEED), we have developed a new client software to help you view the video by computer-VMS." Self-Designed VMS Software...

    Free VMS - 64 Channel

    Thanks for the confirmation about Herospeed. Are Milestone and Video Insight aware of the piracy? That seems like it would be an interesting interview to hold. It will be interesting to see how that turns out in the long run. It's a double bummer because Longse just announced (or released)...

    Free VMS - 64 Channel

    Anyone know what this free VMS is called? https://ipvm.com/reports/herospeed It's not made by Herospeed is it by any chance?

    Geovision Upgrades GV-NVR to GV-VMS License Boggle - 3rd Party Cameras

    Currently running an Intel system (i7-6700k). I guess I've just become accustomed to ~30fps. I've went down to 15 and 20 before quite often but I always seem to come back to 30 fps for live view at least on the front cams. Geo hasn't always been the most efficient at coding though and that can...

    Geovision Upgrades GV-NVR to GV-VMS License Boggle - 3rd Party Cameras

    I only have 6 cams but planning to upgrade to 8. Some Hiks, Pannys, and dahua's, all 2 and 3MP. I usually shoot for near 30 fps but don't always get it. What really gets me to want GV-VMS is that it has support for Nvidia video card GPU decoding. GV-NVR does not. (NVR only supports Intel GPU...

    Geovision Upgrades GV-NVR to GV-VMS License Boggle - 3rd Party Cameras

    They are charging anywhere from $60 per cam to $100 per cam. I can get GV-NVR licenses as low as $45 per cam presently. I've been thinking of switching off Geo for a while. They always pull this crap with their dongles. I've been testing Xprotect and Blue Iris quite a bit lately. Occasionally...

    With Blue Iris you can use many DirectX joysticks.

    Geovision Upgrades GV-NVR to GV-VMS License Boggle - 3rd Party Cameras

    Contacted Geovision and they mentioned that if you purchase GV-VMS, you can't use the license to run GV-NVR, even though, GV-VMS is the upgraded version of GV-NVR. So, if you have some 3rd party cameras you want to purchase today, do you buy the GV-NVR licenses now and then pay again to upgrade...

    Is the QCN8026B (4MP Dahua rebadged) really this bad looking at night?

    Thanks. I see what happened. When I did the search, it caught the description in the video which mentions the QCN8026B. "This is camera model QCN8023B purchased in the 2015 Costco Q-See NVR kit. This camera is very similar to model QCN8026B." So, that's good I guess. And the compression that...

    Is the QCN8026B (4MP Dahua rebadged) really this bad looking at night?

    Keep reading about how 4mp cams don't look as good at night as certain 2mp and 3mp cams. Curious if this cam is really as bad as it looks at night in this video, or if maybe they had the sharpness turned down or something for this video. Any one own this came (or the Dahua equivalent)?

    Hikvision with GeoVision software

    A scheme is exactly what it is, because, this particular upgrade from GV-NVR to GV-VMS should be free or very close to free for what you get. Was your distributor pissed off because they wanted to make more money on the deal? When I checked with a distributor last week, they wanted $70 per...

    Hikvision with GeoVision software

    If it is $150 to convert a 20 channel unit, how much does it cost to convert a 4 channel dongle? (4 Channel GV-NVR dongle normally retails for $200, so if upgrading it costs $150, that would be nuts, hopefully there is a discount on the lower channel dongle conversions). And, how much to...

    Hikvision with GeoVision software

    Curious if you are planning on upgrading to GV-VMS from GV-NVR? Or, based on your experiences with GV-NVR, would you instead switch to a different solution?

    CMVision IR130 Power Transformer protection box

    I have a couple IR130 illuminators. http://www.cmvision.co/products/cmvision-cm-ir130-198-leds-300-400ft-long-range-ir-illuminator.html As this is a somewhat popular unit, I'm curious how most of you are protecting the power transformers that come with these units from rain and sun heat...

    New Lorex Thermal Cameras - any good?

    Anyone try these yet? Lorex just released a new line of thermal cameras that start out very low priced, and they have FLIR technology built in. $429 for a thermal camera would be a good price but I can't find any reviews or demo images...

    Cameras with Color IR

    Has anyone tried these Lorex color IR night vision cameras? (or other color night vision cams). Curious if color IR night vision works good or if it's a gimic of some kind? I usually just use regular IR. The video looks kinda like it could be a sham but who knows...

    Mounting IR illuminators to house lights

    Indeed, it would be easier to change the fixture somehow. But no 120v, in fact, I need to run a wire up the side of the house from the electrical outlet below it (I'd protect the wire so it's not exposed too much). So it's a straight shot from the outlet to the house light. (outlet has the...

    Mounting IR illuminators to house lights

    I was wondering if anyone knows of an elegant way to hang a pair of IR illuminators off of a typical house light like this one? Hopefully something better than the standard 2 rings connected to a platform type item like the one below. Or for that matter, has anyone ever hung an IR illuminator...

    XProtect Smart Client + GPU acceleration

    Yeah, it really depends what you are trying to accomplish. I'm not sure what most people are doing but presently I'm trying to get the best possible live view video on a 4k set so I have the main streams set for live view. I'm hoping to get a 4k cam soon to have a native 4k stream and when the...

    Tv as Monitor

    I have a Roku2 and it has a couple IP camera apps built in but they have many limitations (images versus full video which is a huge limitation) but for some people it's better than nothing. From within the Roku main application click Search Channels \ Scroll down and click Apps. From there you...

    XProtect Smart Client + GPU acceleration

    Indeed, on-board video is very low for power consumption. Sometimes it just doesn't have the performance though. Always a trade-off. I don't know how many 4k displays and 4k streams you would need to bog a 1070 or 1080 down, it would be fun to test out, especially for a video wall. I know that...

    XProtect Smart Client + GPU acceleration

    Holy Sh** Balls! I never thought I'd see the day when Geovision would pull one over on Xprotect, but apparently they have. In the GV-VMS update for Feb, they added Nvidia graphics cards for GPU decoding. That means if you have GV-VMS and happen to be able to pick up a brand new Nvidia GTX1070...

    IR Test for Windows

    I wish I didn't have the voices though. I will admit the voices take up a ton of my time, and time moves like spiders over the face of the clock. I over-analyze and overthink problems until I run out of time. It's a constant cycle that is difficult for me to break out of. I would agree that...

    IR Test for Windows

    Only the constantly closed blinds would suffer because I never look out of those windows or ever have them view-able from the outside in, otherwise strangers could see in my house. But also, there is no direct sunlight coming in those windows because of how the house is angled. I don't even...

    IR Test for Windows

    These windows don't open (just little rectangle windows in a kitchen nook). I also mounted the cameras in an extremely haphazard way, sort of temporary but sort of permanent until I find a better solution. So if I breath near the cams or even think too hard by them, the cams (connected to the...

    IR Test for Windows

    Anyone know of a simple tester that would test the amount of IR light a window blocks and provide that data in a readout of some kind, or percentage scale? Maybe something similar to what police use to determine how much light tinted vehicle windows allow through...
