Wireless IP Camera thread

[geckoSG]

EDIT: aztech also allow live demo over PC. why must vstar be so secretive? cant they share the link and pwd?

You can try asking them for the link. I cannot talk too much about VStarcam, else later my account will get suspended. Their tech support also do not wish to post here anymore as later their account gets suspended. So, do call them if you need to know anything.

Dr_Archer, do let us know how smooth the streaming is for the AZTECH, the last I saw that model is in Shenzhen, but under WANSVIEW. I downloaded the AZTECH App and saw that it is a re-packaged P2PCAM264 which was used by the H series for VStarcam.

Is there anyone using Vstarcam H6837WIP here with a Synology Survilliance Station?

It seems I could not configure it in Synology as the brand is not supported... Vstarcam forum does not have any info as well.

Reseller knows nothing about it as well.....

Could anyone please help? Thank you~~

Wow... which reseller you bought from? Ask them to ask their distributor then. Their distributor should know.

well, asked all the way to Vstarcam itself. Nobody knows nuts about it...

bro, you see the below info maybe can help you...

Here's some more success in editing the config file for unsupported cameras.

I have a DS411 and are running DSM 4.1. I have already set up a Foscam camera, which is supported by SS6.

I recently bought a generic IP camera that looks like the Foscam, but the installed web server (and presumably Linux host) was different.

After a bit of research I was able to establish that it was a VStarcam H6837WIP, even though there was no branding on the camera or its packaging.

Wireless Indoor Dome PTZ IP Camera

After reading this thread carefully, and the other thread linked below, I set about reverse engineering the various web pages from the camera to determine the control commands. After a lot of trial and error, and shutting down and restarting SS6 I had success in getting the pan and tilt functions working through the SS6 Live View Controller.

Of considerable help was my parallel discovery of 'Config File Editor' a package by Remco Schellekens (merty) (Mertymade test) who developed some (now unsupported) packages for DSM 3.2. 'Config File Editor' still works with DSM 4.1.

My quest was made easier when I found this thread (Synology Inc. Online Community Forum • View topic - Where are the camera Settings saved?) which told me that the camera config file is now found under:

/volume1/@appstore/SurveillanceStation/conf/camera_model.conf


So here is the addition to the config file I made for the VStarcam:

Code: Select all
[VStarcam*generic]
port=81
video source="/videostream.cgi"
tilt up="cgi-bin/decoder_control.cgi?onestep=0&command=1"
tilt down="cgi-bin/decoder_control.cgi?onestep=0&command=2"
pan left="cgi-bin/decoder_control.cgi?onestep=0&command=3"
pan right="cgi-bin/decoder_control.cgi?onestep=0&command=6"

I hope this helps - now on to getting the 'patrols' working.

well, asked all the way to Vstarcam itself. Nobody knows nuts about it...

I've contacted them via email and phone. It's a chinese company.

I'll wait for the new model with 2-way audio to be released end of June. Then I'll try 2 units and see its performnace.

Although it lacks zoom feature which I find not so useful with fixed camera. Zoom is more useful in the PTZ camera. And I'm not doing recording but just for monitoring only

Saw this from other forum still selling @ $169. Almost wanted to try it until I know it doesn't support recording feature. Image seems quite sharp.

Actually, if you read my post on pg 79 you'll see that I'm looking for cameras with the following spec

1) Fixed and small size like a square/rectangular compact-type
2) IR to 7m minimum for night/low light use.
3) Wide angle 70 deg (or more) horizontal angle for coverage and less cameras required
4) Run on H264/MPEG-4 compression format
5) MP camera
6) FHD preferably 1080p. Can consider 720p.
7) Runs on wireless 'n'

If you can help may be you can also suggest some brands with the above spec too.

Thanks

Bro, I saw Wansview got 720p fixed camera. Link as follows

WANSVIEW-IP cameras, Cloud IP camera, plug and play IP camera, wireless ip cameras, network cameras - NCZ-553MW

Its the same OEM shape for Aztech model that we saw on the market. Maybe this will meet your needs less your wide angles.

6) FHD preferably 1080p. Can consider 720p.

I haven't come across any 1080p cameras on sale in Singapore. Highest resolution I have seen is the Dlink DCS-6010, which supports up to 1600 by 1200. Most HD capable wireless IP cameras support only 720p, or at most 1280x800 (16:10 aspect ratio).

All my requirements must be fulfilled. Wide angle allows me to use less cameras in my hall and it can cover a room better

Hi all,

Need to get a ip camera to monitor the Dom help,

Can't decide between Aztech new hd or Vstarcam...

R new models coming out soon, shld I wait?

My concern is the recording, preferably wld like something that will allow me to record not using the sd card, then again, missus also dun wired configuration.

Any recommendations?

 

[wacko]

Just got a T7838WIP, where can I set the bitrate, and also where can I stop the perpetual recording and only have it record on motion detect? I have to say, the software leaves quite a bit to be desired.

And what is the software for the below screenshot? it don't seem to be available on http://cd.gocam.so

Dlink DCS-6010L

Hi,

I've been searching for more info on DLINK-6010L (360 degree camera + cloud service). But there're very few threads and review on this camera and I can't get some answers to my questions.

If you have any idea/experience with this camera, could you share

1. camera has no IP lens; but has the passive IR detector - meaning, it'll detect motion at night, but will continue record in the dark. Is this correct?

2. can camera record continuously to NAS? The manual wrote it's possible to harddisk, so I suppose it should be able to do so to NAS - but read some previous discussions, not all camera can record continuously to NAS (or at least to specific NAS only - mine is on DLInk 323)

3. Youtube video doesn't really show clear face, perhaps because distance is too long. Anyone personally use this and can detect face from 3m-8m distance?

4. What about motion blur? does it show clear video when recording people walking?

5. ITfair shows $389 and bizgram selling at $468. Any better price than bizzgram?


Thank you for sharing.

Note: Just realize IT show is 6-9 June.

That is quite an old firmware already... Wonder where you got your unit from... U can ask ur reseller for upgrade. The one that MARIX provides shld be newer as I remembered mine. The one you see is the screen capture was for the sample unit before it was brought in for sales

Got it from Marix. Picture above was taken from VStarcam by MARIX IT DISTRIBUTION (S) PTE LTD: New Models! T6836WIP (MJPEG) and T7838WIP (HD) Reviews, since it shows the options for bitrate and others. My screenshot is below, I am unable to find the option to change the bitrate, or resolution. And I am unable to change the continuous recording mode.
