hi there, i just need to know if it has a mic input interface ( to attach a microphone to it) or if is just a built-in microphone with no chance of extending the microphone to a another place near to people faces.thanks for your time =)
There is not other interface...if you want to use your own mic, look at the 2732...
-
it will not consume any internet data. It will only be local you dont need to worry. The setup will be the same as any other system...there are tons of pots in the ip section. Just dont configure the remote access.

Its a DVR video file for certain.
I tried the tips here but it wont open. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/uk.d-i-y/jU8c4rx2Tn8/Mvk_1SBJ57sJ
I set it to exe buy says i have the wrong version of windows and it makes mention of 64 and 32 bit. I am going to try and open it on a 32bit installation tomorrow and see if that works.

I have a .nvf file from an unknown DVR. I dont have access to the DVR. A google search says its may be nuvico...but their players cannot play it. VLC shows the file length and "plays" it but there is no video...
Anyone know how i can play it?
Thanks

I understand there are some options to stream without plugins.The reasons to consider an xbox over a laptop for Skype are:
The Kinect camera sits on the large plasma TV in a comfortable area so we don't need a laptop. This makes it more likely to use since are already sitting in front of the thing.
We can use a remote or even talk to the thing to work it.
It does other things besides Skype
We can use our laptops for other things while using Skype. I work remote some days.
etc
If you are not using it for gaming or as a media extender, then just get a cheap, chromebox, laptop, or small form factor pc attached a webcam and wireless keyboard and you have 10 times the functionality of the xbox for less than half the cost.
-
I doubt you can do this unless the xbox browser can install a plugin....regardless, why in the world would you get an xbox to skype? you can get a cheap laptop or chromebook or tablet...

I am with ssuro11, the swann NVR and cameras that are rebranded hikvisions are a great value and are good systems. Its the bottom barrel DVR/analog systems that you should not touch. There will always be snobs out there who say hikvision and dahua are low end, but that is not correct. They are VERY good brands. I have many of each installed with ZERO issues. They beauty of costco is that they have an awesome warranty and return policy. So bottom line do some research and see who the oem of the system is. If its hikvision or dahua you are good to go.

It would work very well...get the 2.8mm unit so you can cover the full room. You want the DS-2CD2532F-IS model, Make sure you specify S which means it has sound capability with a built in mic. It does not have a built in speaker, if you want a speaker function you need to add and power your own speaker. If you dont get the S model there will be no way to add audio at all.
A better choice may be the 2432 http://www.hikvision.com/en/products_show.asp?id=9441
has a built in mic and speaker as well as a pir sensor. It is also available in a 2.8mm version.

Hi,Is there a good Wi-Fi cam with motion detect and notification that's NOT POE? In other words, can just be run from a wall adapter?
Thanks,
Hal
For indoors, hikvision 2432... has poe but can also be run via 12v adapter.
-
I'm going to bump this up to ask if the IR bleed is a common issue with this camera.Also, has anyone tried the IS model and found a reasonable microphone solution?
I have not seen any ir bleed. The IS model comes with a built in MIC
-
I very much doubt its dead. They likelihood that it went dead just as you mess with the settings is very low. What model is the camera?
-
This will not work, the VGA/hdmi on a laptop is only output not input. Your best bet is something like this http://www.amazon.com/GeChic-ON-LAP-Portable-Monitor-Speakers/dp/B00H4MWMWQ/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1406854472&sr=8-5&keywords=portable+vga+monitor

I have the original 720P Q-See cameras. I checked yesterday if they can provide newer firmware than that from 2012. They said they don't expect to release another firmware upgrade. Dahua keeps up with the firmware updates, but Q-See doesn't want anything to do with it. The reason I don't buy from OEM's anymore as I had the same exact problem with Hikvision OEMs. They promise you the moon, then a year later they abandon the product because it's not theirs.What do you have to do to return them? I got mine 10/2014, so less than 2 years. Can I just bring the parts back or do I need to have the original box and stuff?
For Costco just bring the cameras back. They will not hassle you at all.

If you are going to run new cable and run 2 independent systems then you should get a true ip system not SDI and run ethernet.
-
The poe is 100% active poe and will travel the full distance.
-
Dont buy any random camera assuming that they will work with any NVR you buy. They will not.
-
POE like standard ethernet, has a max range of 100 meters or about 328 feet.
This is a hikvision rebrand and generally hikvision supports other popular cameras but the ptz may not function. The swann firmware may prevent the acti from being recognized...but in theory you should be able to record the stream. Aside from the ptz, the NVR must be able to use the in camera motion detection which is sometimes an issue when mixing and matching brands. Do you really need a ptz? Its useless in most applications.
With regard to the price its pretty good. Even if you went via china and got the cams for 100 each, then add the NVR and hard drive you are getting close to the Costco price. With costco you get a three year warranty via swann and no hassle returns to costco(even after the 3 years)/

Don't get ptz, are you going to sit there and watch the cameras 24/7?

Hi,I am working with Swann HD 820 CAM with Blue Iris 3,
I am getting about 28-30 fps but is there any tweaks needs to be done on the camera side?
sometimes where there is a movement it seems like the video skips a few secs, from like 4:28:45 to 4:28:48 Its not consistent. Is there anything I can do to bypass it? or any other tweaks in configuration you guys recommend?
If your video skips then you may have to adjust your motion settings in blue iris. Make sure you have a decent break time (15 seconds or so) that is the time the system keeps recording after the last motion event. Increase the sensitivity as well. 30fps is way overkill, you really only need about 12-15. Keep your bitrate at about 4096.

Get a professional to run the cable. It will solve all your problems.
-
Get your friend this kit. Its not the best, but WAY better than anything for 250. The image will be very good. He can add more cameras later if he likes it. Its better to have 4 decent cams then 16 crappy ones.

If you want it to work outside your network you will need to set up port forwarding. You only need to port forward the NVR. Assuming you left the ports default you will need to forward ports 8000 and 554. You need to read up on port forwarding as well as dynamic dns.

hikvision or dahua

Dont listen to that review. The poster is an idiot. You will be fine with the either switch.
Need help setting up Speco IP Poe cams on SWANN NVR

This may not work. The NVR does not indicate in the specs whether its onvif compatible. First thing to try is lower the resolution on the cameras to 720p as the cams are 1080 max while the NVR is 720.
I dont know where you hot the idea that swann does not make dome cameras that are not ptz, they in fact do..both a regular dome and a varifocal dome.
