Thanks for the suggestion! Always open to suggestions!

We read and had great concern of corrosion issues with any outside or POE cameras. It’s quite humid in Smokey Mountains! Our fix was to use copious amounts of silicone glue and tape over every potential water entry point, and mount for camera/cat6 cable interconnect in a pvc waterproof mount...

It’s been a couple months, I thought an update might be good. Seeing that none my higher quality cameras, DS-2CD2042WD-1, support video, but pics only, I’m using Synology’s Surveillance Station to capture1080i/30 motion detected video using SS’s motion detect (captured from the stream), and...

I wasn't aware of the 2 camera limitation.... Which I realize is a limitation.... I've only got one HiKvision camera now... Looking for a 2nd... BUT since (Surveillance System) does allow a 'Picture/ftp only' camera to record Motion Detect Video at 1080i/30fps, that saves money on a camera...

I think I figured it out... Sensor of camera is 1/3" Therefore: with Y being 30', then X: is 36' wide with 4MM Lens is 24' wide with 6MM Lens I measure ~43' Then I realize camera mounted above ground level... and hadn't calculated the camera's diagonal angle length... Recalculate with Y as 36'...

See Next Post... This post does not contain enough information to be useful!! I would think that if you knew the aspect ratio of the image you are looking at, and, the width of the image you see, and the distance between lens and width measurements, you should get a rough lens size.... Every...

Thanks... Calculator won't load. FireFox 64 bit V63.0 was used should be a mathematical way of determining lens is from field of view, distance to measurement and aspect ratio of image.

DS-2CD2042WD-I camera.... Is there a way of determining which lens you have, after it's installed? Can't seem to find anything in configurations... I'm looking into buying some more of this version camera (Seeing that I seem to know the in's and out's of this particular camera) and I now...

Want to thank everybody for the assistance here.... Here is a Motion Detect Video using Sysnology NAS Surveillance System from my "Picture Only" HiKvision Camera.... This is what I was hoping to achieve, and I find I'm 200% successful!! (Pictures AND 30fps HD Video!) Envision a 7 MB h264...

From my previous Broadcast TV experience, it looks to me like a waterspot that has dried.... It might be on sensor

I bought the DS215J off EBay as new, unused. Take time to read manual. NAS has its own OS that isn’t hard to learn. I spent $$ buying 2x NAS compatable drives and set it up as Raid 10, for some extra redundancy. Have had it over a year now. I am very happy with it, and had No Idea it could do...

I appreciate your concern about QuickConnect.... However, I have far greater respect for Sysnology's concern about my security, than HiKvision... Because I own a Sysnology NAS, this feature did not involve any extra cost to me.... Another Plus for the way it's presently connected now is: I...

The spiders just appear that way!

another unexpected benifit..... If your camera does not support video recording on motion detect, but only ftp of pictures........ With Surveillance System——. You will be able to record video based on camera motion detection!!!

No question about it... It's fixed.... And I have A wonderful Unexpected addition..... I Now have Video Motion Detect Capture as well!!! (From a camera that doesn't support video motion detect natively!) I captured this based on motion last night..... (Sorry, I don't see a video file attach...

Think I got it. Surveillance Station Setting again!! Darn system defaults to continuous recording 24/7/365 in the schedule area. I set it motion detect 0-7am 7-12pm to match camera settings, not realizing that what I left blank was not blank, but 'continuous recording', and of course I’m...

I got stream 1 to 1080p. It’s a setting in ipcam config within Surveillance Station. Still in perpetual record. Found notes on DScam and it illudes to a square looking icon to start record. But I don’t see that on iPhone screen in app, and camera thumbnail has record light superimposed on it...

Update. Using iPhone APP DScam, I still seem to be in perpetual video record on the app to the Surveillance/pond camera directory on NAS. Haven’t complained to Synology yet, as I can’t seem to find the record stop/start button.

This post is for Ugo. It’s also a step by step on how to connect remotely to a camera that doesn’t allow remote connections!! No port forwarding needed, even with gateway! I Got it working tonight!! Do all the work on your Synology NAS !!! first: On NAS configure QuickConnect. On. DSfiles...

Got it working. After you have QuickConnect working on DSfile program. Then if you install and config surveillance Station such that you can access the camera on local lan (enable user to have access to program and surveillance folder on NAS. THEN install DScam on iPhone. It will automatically...
