Update on my
previous post.
I installed the same Zafego PT100C in a different location facing the window and the IR activation occured only once during the evening as the sun set, no multiple triggers. So the multiple trigger is unique to my indoor home low light levels during a rainy season. The 2nd Zafego unit also triggered IR a few times, but more like two or three times during the evening only in my home recently on selected days. During sunrise, the IR deactivated only once very cleanly. Throughout the day, there are no spuriously triggered Ispy recordings. On vstarcam c37A that I have, recordings are triggered by the changes in the camera pictures when images appears to be adjusted for increasing brightness of the day.
Ispy works beautifully according to the settings I posted earlier. I actually forgot them and thankfully I remembered where I posted it. But I still can't do PTZ within Ispy.
QNAP recording is another thing I want to find out more about. So far I haven't found anyone who has done a review on it yet.
The downside of Zafego PT100C is the lack of full ONVIF (especially PTZ control) compability with ONVIF Device Manager. I am not sure whether this is problem due to ONVIF Device Manager's lack of knowledge about the camera or the camera has incompatible settings. PTZ control can only be achieved through COT Pro app or the Windows CMS client.
Update (22 March 2016): I discover an ISPY incompability with Zafego - when the IR turns on, I lose the live video feed to the ISPY and have to shut down and relaunch ISPY or reconnect the camera within ISPY to regain the video feed. This did not happen when I first install and launch the ISPY recording. Most likely the bug is due to the way ISPY interacts with Zafego OS for the video stream.
