I am loving my sineoji pt713 camera, every spot is captured in my hall. Even view where my cat is hiding and sleeping.:s13:
Is it difficult to configure the camera to have it record on a NAS ? I am intending to get the Asustor 2 bay NAS.

Ensure your Nas is onvif ready.

PT498V Black video feed

I bought a PT498V yesterday from Challenger IMM. I installed it this morning and everything was working fine during the day until this evening. All of a sudden, the screen is just black when viewing the video from the phone. The camera responds to pan and tilt commands from the iPhone app but the screen is just black. There is also cracking sound sometimes from the unit itself.
I thought it was the night mode but nothing happens even after I adjust there.

I have done a reset and after configuring on the iPhone app, the same problem exists. The video screen is black. I have tried via web ui and it is just a black screen also when viewing the live feed.

I tried backreading but could not find anything on this. Does anyone have a similar experience or know of a fix?

My problem is fixed. (The unit was replaced)

Dean answered my email to sineoji support at 2AM. Instead of having me make the trip down to the service centre, he came over with a new unit to test with. Afterwards, he replaced the faulty unit. He explained it was the first time they saw the black stream problem and it could be a lens issue.

The replacement is working fine now. I'm glad to have read through the thread before making a decision to go with Sineoji.

Am impressed with the service quality from Sineoji. Dean contacted me via Whatsapp close to 11.30pm and managed to help me troubleshoot. Saved me a trip to the service centre!

Yeah, I was amazed as well. I'm happy with my Sineoji IP cam. I hope it lasts. But I really am impressed with the support from Dean!

Sineoji cam is really worth the price. But the service by Dean is the best.
Whenever you have any question or query, Dean will always help you out without any hesitation. Thank you Dean for your wonderful and prompt service.
Highly recommended product and service.

Using dlink 5030L with Synology NAS Surveillance Station.
Currently overseas, and about 5 days into my trip, the cam status shows disconnected from surveillance station.. no idea what happened also.. can’t even remotely reboot the camera....

If the camera is connected via wifi, it could be disconnected from the router.

Hi all just set up 2 sineoji cam and connected to home network successfully. However, one of the 2 cam video cannot see from both iPhone and android app remotely.

It only shows a black screen with connecting. But no video.

The other cam has no issues with the video feed.

Both cameras show on-line on the device page of both apps.

Any one has similar issues or the cam is faulty?
