Recommended Posts

hi

I have just brought a inexpensive cnm secured wired cmos ip camera as having problems with neighbour. Can I set it to record to my hard drive on my pc ? if so how ? or better still can I set it to record to a external hard drive ? again if so how ?

 

I am running windows 7

 

many thanks

 

Neil

Some IP cams will write to network drives or NFS shares, or will send video files via FTP. This will be in one of your setup screens if your camera allows this.

 

Most IP cams come with simple recording software, but if your vendor doesn't supply it, you may be out of luck there. Another option is to run Blue Iris, which is pretty inexpensive and supports a wide variety of cams. You can download a demo version to test it.

 

You might get better response in the IP camera forum, and posting the model of camera would help.
