It is online ..has arrived.
Go get the sineoji PT713V. When you view, the ultra wide angle captures one end to the other end leaving almost no blind spots. You will love it !
Instead of getting 2 cameras, one camera does the job.
Hi guys,
Any recommendations for home surveillance cameras?
To monitor new born baby and helper.
Definitely need it on for 24/7 but not sure if require a server?
And no installation and messy cables and wiring to deal with.
TIA

Ytd I'm not sure if my cam shot a reflection of me or someone else in front of my study room window. I deleted the pic 
Assuming u accept 720p, SD card recordings, wifi 2.4GHz.... Dlink wld be DCS 936L. SGD 99 a piece, IIRC.
And lots more other, probably better choices from Sineoji, foscam and even samsung, but samsung prob need more budget.
Have u checked the brochures from the fair? Honestly.... with sgd500 for 3 cams... u wld be spoilt for choice. If it were me,
1 DCS 2530 for living room
2 DCS 956 for kiddie room and kitchen. Shld be well below budget.
Am sure someone else with Sineoji experience can recommend....
FyI, I dont work for Dlink, i just have curently an interest in their range.

Very scary I had goose bumps especially e eyes.

Just to share.
Dean came to my place today to mount the Sineoji PT498V. Very sincere and helpful guy and even help me solve my homeplug issue with his own initiative even though it is not his issue. Clarity of the ip camera Is pretty clear even in the night. Decent ip camera.

I started researching on ip cameras and found out Xiaomi Dome cameras are not that bad price wise and specs wise. However, I haven't seen much posts about it. Anyone owns one? Card to share how is it?
I'm planning to use it as baby / nanny monitor.

Multiple Vulnerabilities Found in China's Foscam-made IP Cameras
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in China's Foscam-made IP cameras. The vulnerabilities were reported to the manufacturer several months ago, but no fixes have been made available. Foscam cameras are sold under different brand names, such as OptiCam. Users are advised to check on the manufacture of any IP cameras, and if necessary, take their own mitigation steps.
The vulnerabilities, 18 in all, were discovered by F-Secure, who specifically found them in the Opticam i5 and Foscam C2 cameras. F-Secure warns, however, that these vulnerabilities will likely exist throughout the Foscam range and potentially in all 14 separate brand names that it knows to sell Foscam cameras.
The flaws include insecure default credentials, hard-coded credentials, hidden and undocumented Telnet functionality, command injection flaws, missing authorization, improper access control, cross-site scripting, and a buffer overflow. All are detailed in a report (PDF) published today.
"Security has been ignored in the design of these products," said Janne Kauhanen, cyber security expert at F-Secure. "The developers' main concern is to get them working and ship them. This lack of attention to security puts users and their networks at risk. The irony is that this device is marketed as a way of making the physical environment more secure -- however, it makes the virtual environment less so."
While attention on IoT device security -- especially cameras -- has been focused by the Mirai botnet and the largest DDoS attack against the internet infrastructure in history, the quantity and severity of the Foscam vulnerabilities is particularly concerning. "These vulnerabilities are as bad as it gets," commented Harry Sintonen, the F-Secure senior security consultant who found the vulnerabilities. "They allow an attacker to pretty much do whatever he wants. An attacker can exploit them one by one, or mix and match to get greater degrees of privilege inside the device and the network."
F-Secure gives several example attacks against the products. For example, unauthenticated users able to access a specific port can use a command injection to add a new root user for the device and to enable a standard remote login service (Telnet). Then, when logging in through this remote login service, they have admin privileges on the device.
A second attack could take advantage of three of the individual vulnerabilities. "The empty password on the FTP user account can be used to log in," explains the F-Secure report. "The hidden Telnet functionality can then be activated. After this, the attacker can access the world-writable (non-restricted) file that controls which programs run on boot, and the attacker may add his own to the list. This allows the attacker persistent access, even if the device is rebooted. In fact, the attack requires the device to be rebooted, but there is a way to force a reboot as well."
Since there are no fixes yet available from Foscam, F-Secure recommends that users only install the cameras within a dedicated network or VLAN. In this case, it notes, changing the default password will not increase security since, "because of the Foscam IP cameras' use of hard-coded credentials, in this case an attacker can bypass unique credentials."
Remediation responsibility, however, remains with the manufacturer. F-Secure lists 12 recommendations for Foscam, ranging from the installation of "a truly random default administrative password" with a password sticker attached to the underside of the device, to the removal of built-in credentials and the implementation of a proper iptables firewall.
In general, F-Secure advises vendors to design security within their products from the beginning. "Having product security processes in place," says the report, "and investing even modest resources into security is a differentiator from competitors. This can also work to vendors' advantage when regulation enforces secure design practices."

After enter the IP address on your IE, go to the settings menu. There is a record menu on the right side . Change the record quality from 2nd stream to 1st stream which is HD.
Thousands of IP Cameras Hijacked by Persirai, Other IoT Botnets
Thousands of IP cameras have been hijacked by Internet of Things (IoT) botnets and data from Trend Micro shows that the recently launched Persirai malware is responsible for a large percentage of infections.
The*Persirai*backdoor is designed to target more than 1,000 IP camera models, and researchers said there had been roughly 120,000 devices vulnerable to this malware at the time of its discovery several weeks ago.
The malware, which uses a recently disclosedzero-day vulnerability*to spread from one hacked IP camera to another, allows its operators to execute arbitrary code on the targeted device and launch distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.
Trend Micro has*determined*that of a total of 4,400 IP cameras it tracks in the United States, just over half have been infected with malware. The percentage of infected cameras spotted by the security firm in Japan is nearly 65 percent.
According to the company, more than 64 percent of the total number of 3,675 compromised devices located in the United States, Japan, Taiwan and South Korea have been infected with Persirai.
However, Persirai is not the only IoT malware targeting IP cameras. Trend Micro says there are three other malware families: Mirai, DvrHelper and TheMoon.
Mirai*made a lot of headlines recently due to the significant number of devices it infected all around the world. Data from Trend Micro shows that of the hijacked devices it is monitoring in the U.S., Japan, Taiwan and Korea, Mirai accounts for more than a quarter of infections.
DvrHelper is based on Mirai, but its authors have implemented some interesting features, including additional DDoS modules and a mechanism for bypassing anti-bot solutions, including*JavaScript-based challenges*and Google’s reCAPTCHA system.
Another threat targeting IP cameras is TheMoon. This is actually the oldest IoT malware, but its authors have continued to improve it.
DvrHelper and*TheMoon*account for 6.8 percent and 1.4 percent of the infections seen by Trend Micro in the U.S. and the aforementioned East Asian countries.
Researchers pointed out that since the number of potential victims for these malware families is limited, some of them are designed to “lock the door” behind them after they infect a device.
For example, Persirai attempts to patch the zero-day vulnerability it exploits to prevent other malware from infecting the device. However, since the malware resides only in memory and the changes it makes are not persistent, the threat will be removed and the camera will become vulnerable once again after it’s restarted.
TheMoon also tries to keep other malware out. It does this by importing specific*iptables firewall rules*to the device.
