Does anyone have any experience with this Hikvision cube camera?  Hikvision DS-2CD2432F-IW 3MP Indoor IR Wifi Cube Camera 2.8mmhttp://overseas.hikvision.com/us/Products_accessries_10510_i7599.html I am just looking for a camera for my main living area. I would like to integrate it with my new Smartthings hub. |

after ordering my 6th HikVision Camera I just got this from Amazon Dear Mike coldair, Your recent purchase of the "HIKVISION 3.0Mp HD POE Outdoor Waterproof Vandalproof 2.8~12mm V..." comes with a 1 FREE year of Unlimited Everything cloud storage from Amazon Cloud Drive (a $59.99 value).

| I just got my Hikvision camera from amazon today to play with. I'm waiting on the NVR to come in from Nellys. I plan to hook it up through POE on the NVR, but in the meantime, can anyone tell me the easiest way to hook in up directly to my laptop so I can play around with placement? All I need right now is to get a live feed up on my screen. |

That will power the camera, and you can get a direct network connection to your laptop with a cat5/6 cable. |

Also, many 12 vdc Wall Warts use the same connector and I would bet a little that your cam will fit. |

The plug-in will work fine in IE. |

I might be talking abt something entirely unrelated...
But--- sometimes when you connect a device [camera] directly to a PC, a 'cross-over cable' is required. [Or you have to go into your PC's network settings and change some of them to be able to see the device] C-O cable is easily made, from an ordinary Ethernet cable, even if you don't have connectors and a crimp tool, cheap on ebay, etc... In a pinch you can cut an Ethernet cable's particular wires [about 4 IIRC], twist then together in the Cross-over config. Easiest is to connect thru a router --sometimes for older devices you have to go directly to a PC. |

I was just trying out all of the features and noticed that, so I thought I'd mention it. I record all of my cameras on a PC running Milestone Xprotect Essential, but I also have a memory card in each camera too. If something drastic were to happen, like someone gets in and takes my recording PC or it gets destroyed some other way, I still have limited backup recordings on the cameras themselves. Two is one and one is none.

I was just trying out all of the features and noticed that, so I thought I'd mention it. I record all of my cameras on a PC running Milestone Xprotect Essential, but I also have a memory card in each camera too. If something drastic were to happen, like someone gets in and takes my recording PC or it gets destroyed some other way, I still have limited backup recordings on the cameras themselves. Two is one and one is none.
Not a bad idea. Do you have to manually delete the video or will it record over the oldest footage after all the memory is used up? |

I have a 64 GB card and have it set to record continuously 24/7, overwriting the oldest when full. EDIT - The default settings are to reserve 25% of the card for images and the other 75% for video. At my current settings, 75% of 64 GB records over 8.5 hours of 1080 video. Lots of options here that I haven't played with.

Everything you are doing is wrong, and it is my sworn duty to resist you.

Ran into a dilemma today. I have been testing Synology's Surveillance Center software that came with my NAS. Went to add another camera and was kindly reminded I need to buy a license to add more cameras. The problem being that the software is more or less crippled due to the NPAPI issue, with no fix announced or expected soon. Also no guarantee that the fix isn't OS agnostic. So I am kicking around the idea of getting a dedicated NVR. However, since I already have a NAS with 15TB in it, I really don't need an NVR to handle the storage. Just dump to a network share. So is there a thin-client type NVR out there? |

So is there a thin-client type NVR out there? Do you just want something that will record to a network drive? My use cases are: - View my cameras from a mobile device (solved: plenty of android apps for that) - View my cameras from a raspberry pi on my TV - Record all streams to the NAS The Pi doesn't have the horsepower to render all the streams on a single page. It gets overloaded and starts getting connection resets. Ideally I would like to find something to handle recording *and* provide a means to watch all the streams over something like HTTP. I don't even mind paying for such software assuming it could run on x64 Linux. However, the only "pro" software I have found that will even run on linux is all old ass 32bit and I am just not going down that road. So that leaves me with an appliance solution of some sorts. But all the NVRs that would provide recording/viewing do storage locally. Right now, I am running a webserver that grabs a single frame from each stream then throws them on the page. Either I get 10 second updates, or 1 second updates with frames randomly corrupted from loading before the write is complete. Its driving me a little batty.  ETA: If there are better solutions to being able to see the streams on my TV, I am all ears. Just figured a Pi hitting a HTTP site that does the heavy lifting would be the most straight forward. |

I have hdmi run to my tv from PC. with just the blue iris screen up with cameras. You can get baluns to run it over cat5/6 to hdmi.
