What ANPR/LPR software is out there?
Peter_ replied to RustyJL's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Here's a live example of a Mobotix in AU setup for ANPR: http://mobotix.prvgroup.com.au:8081/cgi-bin/guestimage.html I think there's only 1 company making software specifically for Mobotix however. -
SD vs. DVR vs. cloud storage?
Peter_ replied to stanw's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Plus, if you use a DVR/NAS they often include additional features like home media server capabilities, VPN, and DDNS. -

Looking at Foscam FI9821W and a Dropcam -- Suggestions?
Peter_ replied to stanw's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
The reliability of Foscams varies. I had two, sold one, and the other has been going strong for several years now, albeit with many dead and dying pixels. Better to get something a little higher quality, and skip regretting that you didn't. -
It has pros and cons in my experience: Pros: -Compatible with tons of cameras (from Foscams to Mobotix). -Free app available for cell phone. -Decent video analytics (motion, missing object, people counting, etc) for all cameras. -Easy setup and management for any level of user (camera auto-detection) Cons: -Java based -Licenses for extra cameras are $60+ USD/each -Some reliability issues (although the new version is better). Even if you just use the Synology system as a NAS you get VPN access, fast read/write speeds, DDNS, and plenty of other features built right in.

Indoor instead of outdoor IP cam for porches?
Peter_ replied to PluffMud's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
I've used an Axis M5014 outdoors, under an eve for a few years now. The network cable started to crack in one spot, but it's holding up so far in the 100+ degree summers and mild rainstorms. But as others said, probably best to get a real outdoor model and not have to worry about it. -
Dahua IP Camera for City Tourism 'Webcam'?
Peter_ replied to darethehair's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
You're in Canada? Maybe Avigilon (based in Canada) can give you some sort of deal, in exchange for some sort of "powered by..." link on the website, especially since it's for tourism? And I agree with buellwinkle on this, if the camera does fail for some reason getting it serviced and fixed quickly/at a low cost will not make them question your suggestion. -
You mean using the Synology NAS as just storage, or using their included Surveillance Station Software?

Items of Interest- Mobotix News from US Event
Peter_ replied to Voipmodo's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
I'm not too impressed with it yet, although I haven't played with it for too long. There are wayy too many small button crammed on the screen (especially for the iPhone/iPod). It's also difficult to manage (and I'm fairly young). It doesn't utilize any symbols common to the Apple iOS either (buttons, toggles, etc). In short - not intuitive. This app is at one end of extreme, while Qcam Pro is perhaps a bit too simplistic. There doesn't appear to be a happy medium yet. -
Q-See QCN7100B 1.3m settings question
Peter_ replied to Machineman's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Probably has to do with the interval at which snapshots are taken and stored, and/or sent to your email. -
DIY IP-66 Survived Sandy: Bragging Rights?
Peter_ replied to PeteCress's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Maybe something made for automotive/industrial use? -
Items of Interest- Mobotix News from US Event
Peter_ replied to Voipmodo's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Wonder if the iOS app will be free? Also, thermal would be an awesome option, but I'm sure there will be a significant price increase. -
Are the sensors for the Mobotix D12 interchangeable with the D14? By sensors I mean the whole lens/board assembly. I'm having trouble finding a night sensor for a D12, but the prices (and # of in stock) of D14 modules has gone up.

Axis Camera - Continuous Recording Problem
Peter_ posted a topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
So I am trying to record footage from an Axis P33 series to a NAS, and I enabled "Continuous" recording inside the camera menu, and the NAS has ~500GB free space, yet the oldest recordings I am getting are 11 hours. I checked the recorded video folder on the NAS and it's only 11.3GB currently. Anyone have any thoughts for me, I'm kinda stuck here? -
When the CCTV amateur takes things to the next level
Peter_ replied to voip-ninja's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Nice breakdown! I find the Synology Camera viewer for the iPhone not real reliable. I access the Diskstation via its built in VPN client, then use an app (QCamPro in my case) to view the cameras - albeit not all the recordings, but the live images for piece of mind. I'm interested to see what you decide about the NVR software though. -
Hello everyone! Wrote up a review, with plenty of day/night photo and video samples of course, of the Axis P3364 1MP dome camera. http://www.plazor.com/reviews/axis-p3364ve/

Is the AXIS P3364-VE a good fit for my needs?
Peter_ replied to sequoia's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
I did a review of that particular camera (http://www.plazor.com/reviews/axis-p3364ve/). It has great resolution, and excellent low light capabilities. But like buellwinkle said 720p might not be enough resolution for your specific application. -
Recommended budget/residential NVR software?
Peter_ replied to voip-ninja's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
I hear you can downgrade the Synology Firmware, maybe as a temporary solution? I used their built in web server to create a basic web page which has all my camera's live view on it - it loads quite quickly. I have to say, I tried the Avigilon CC software and it is quite nice. Runs smoothly, very intuitive, but like you said the price is likely not economical for home installations. -
Axis P3364-VE Review
Peter_ replied to Peter_'s topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
It has a check box to "Enable Dynamic Contrast" which helps at certain times of the day, but it really makes everything washed out due to the lack of contrast. Adjusting the exposure windows made the biggest difference for me. -
Anyone seen any (upcoming) black friday deals on IP cameras?

Axis Camera - Continuous Recording Problem
Peter_ replied to Peter_'s topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Thanks for the help buellwinkle, got it figured out. Also the official response from Axis was that I needed to free up more space on my NAS, as the camera will clear out old recordings faster if the NAS is at least 72% full.
