    My experience with a "vipcam" A192V2N01

    I checked out LiveCams Pro tonight and managed to get all three cameras working with it, including one from D-Link. This is going to be my primary app from now on.

    My experience with a "vipcam" A192V2N01

    Nope. You can view the cam without using the manufacturer’s app, using a program like VLC. I tried the latter yesterday and found the localization to be so horrendous that I couldn’t be bothered the continue using it. CamHi seems to be pretty good, though. Thanks for the tip. You can...

    My experience with a "vipcam" A192V2N01

    Yeah, I'm still using mine. I also picked up this EasyN 187. The web interface looks different than the vipcam's, but the RTSP URL is identical and it behaves very similar. So far no problems. It saves the video as ordinary AVI files that open in VLC, unlike the vipcam. The vipcam app is broken...

    Yeah, my cam has the same 15 digit ID. I use the vipcam app, but might check out the other one you suggested. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    My experience with a "vipcam" A192V2N01

    Ahh, much different camera. This is mine. I sort of doubt that the firmware is identical, even though the web interface might be similar. I'll check it out. I wouldn't even need their app (which requires P2P to be enabled) if the video files weren't saved in some strange proprietary...

    If you don't mind, could you provide me with this contact information? if you don't feel comfortable doing so in public, feel free to PM me. Do you have a picture of the cam? I'm wondering if it's the same model as mine. In what context have you deployed 22 of these? I'm slightly curious...

    Does anyone have an idea if this camera supports power over Ethernet? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    My experience with a "vipcam" A192V2N01

    I bought the SD card when I found out the camera wouldn't upload to an FTP server without one. The camera sends an email to me and saves videos/pictures to a local FTP server, as well as the SD card. I can then login to that server via sftp anywhere I'm at to see what's going on without using...

    My experience with a "vipcam" A192V2N01

    An update to the iOS app was released last night that fixes the white screen issue. I also just noticed today that the firmware update toggled on nonstop recording, so that's something people should look out for. Jorabi, do you know what happens when the SD card is filled up? Is it smart...

    Or maybe your version of the firmware was pulled. Hard to say since there’s no way to contact anyone [emoji38] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    My experience with a "vipcam" A192V2N01

    I decided to the take the plunge and update the firmware. I've had nerve-racking experiences installing unofficial firmware on devices before, but this was the first time I had a similar feeling with "official" firmware. The good news is that the camera still works and most of my settings were...

    One thing I forgot to mention, you might need to disable Google's blocking of "less secure apps."

    Here's the settings I'm using for GMail: SMTP server name: smtp.gmail.com Server port: 465 Safe link: SSL Authentication: On Username should include @gmail.com at the end. I might do the update, but something about me is still hesitant :lol: Not having successive shots is so incredibly brain...

    My experience with a "vipcam" A192V2N01

    I have e-mail working with GMail, so maybe you just need to tweak the settings depending on your provider. Does the new firmware send/record successive shots when motion is detected or only one? Did you notice any improvements in terms of its motion sensing, or basically the same as before? Can...

    My experience with a "vipcam" A192V2N01

    Does your router support DDNS? That might be a better option. Alternatively, if you have any devices running on your network 24-7 you could install a DDNS client on one of them. That's my approach. I moved to Duck DNS when dyndns quit offering their service for free. Once you create a subdomain...

    My experience with a "vipcam" A192V2N01

    Always finding new quirks in this thing :) I keep my framerate for the first stream set to 20 FPS. Perhaps every few weeks the camera lowers its framerate a bit, maybe because of a weak wireless signal or something. What's interesting is that, unlike most cams, it doesn't seem to increase the...

    My experience with a "vipcam" A192V2N01

    Like I mentioned earlier, I use an app called SecuritySpy. I got the RTSP URL by opening SecuritySpy and looking at the traffic using a packet analyzer. I was thinking of maybe using the camera with a Linux machine, so thought the info would come in handy. I never have dropouts unless there is a...

    I managed to get streaming working in VLC. Here is the URL you need: rtsp://username:[email protected]:554/11 There is a colon between the username and password, but the forum's software is inserting a smiley and I don't know how to disable that. Both audio and video work.

    My experience with a "vipcam" A192V2N01

    By the way, a new version of the mobile app for iOS was released yesterday. The changelog says that some bugs were fixed, but all I noticed was a slightly different interface and the introduction of an annoying dialog box before playing a video.

    My experience with a "vipcam" A192V2N01

    From a security standpoint there is one thing that worries me about this camera. I assumed that the mobile app only worked when connected to the same network as the camera, but found out that is not the case — despite the fact that no holes have been punched through my firewall to allow inbound...

    It's likely that the same app works with other cameras they sell that do have optical zoom.

    My experience with a "vipcam" A192V2N01

    As far as I know the camera does not have an optical zoom. The best you can do is use a third-party app with software zoom.

    My experience with a "vipcam" A192V2N01

    Looks like you have a newer firmware version than me. I have no intention of updating the firmware on mine since I have no way of going back to the old one. I know the quirks in this particular version and do not want anything to break. I do not use the web interface to view the camera, but a...

    Ah, I have that setup using SecuritySpy in OS X. I thought you were referring to some kind of physical device.

    Do you have any links to some inexpensive tamper alarms?

    Protecting a Camera from Theft

    Thanks. I was thinking of having something like this made. Do you have any experience with them? Do the bars tend to block the view? I suspect that maybe the bars could interfere with the infrared too.

    Protecting a Camera from Theft

    I though the same thing. However, if I could see a picture of something that would work, I could probably have one made for cheap. Labor here is inexpensive.

    Could you link me to a camera cage that would work with a camera withthis kind of profile?

    Protecting a Camera from Theft

    When you live in a country where $32 a month is considered just above the poverty level, everything is something that can potentially be stolen. On top of that, there may be someone who simply does not like its presence and may try to do something out of spite.

    Protecting a Camera from Theft

    Does anything exist that can be used to protect a camera from being stolen? I was considering having something made, but the person I went to told me that such things already exist.
