Can this camera stream direct to a non-NVR for offline recrding only- I don not want to use any China based cloud service- what are the Streaming protocols
Love these videos of more cost-friendly versions of cameras for us homeowners. Will keep an eye out for follow up videos. You do a great job every time. If you keep it into the winter that would be a good test too, especially with moving parts in very cold climates (Northeast US here).
Thanks for the awesome comment! Yes, I hope to test this one in the cold weather to see how it performs. I like testing cameras in the summer because the colourful scenery is really appealing and shows off those good quality sensors. The winters are so bland and dull but do offer good opportunities for extreme cold and snow.
@@HomeTechDIY thank you a much, you made me feel a lot better, i think the zoom thing can be fixed by a firmware upgrade, since the camera is capable of doing so, idk but i have heard that dahua limit the software features on the vikylin to compensate for the cheaper price, some people where able to flash the camera with dahua firmware to use the full features, idk as I'm not an expert but this is the result of my research
I used Chrome from my PC and logged into the camera's web user interface. Just enter the IP address and the default credentials are admin:123456. From there you have access to all the configuration.
I am still using this camera in the same spot where I set it up last year in this video. The daytime continues to be perfect, but the nighttime isn't as strong. There is some ghosting and trails as people move in front of the camera. I have tracking turned on and it works good in the day and even at night. I wish it zoomed in a little closer when someone walk by on the street. It tracks accurately about 95% of the time but it only zooms in 2-3x where I would like to see 10x. I saw no issues in heavy rain and extreme cold temperatures. I record the footage on Blue Iris and I've had no issues. Hope this helps!
802.3az means the switch has a power saving mode but doesn't indicate if the device is 802.3at compatible. You would need to check the specifications for 802.3at.
can I ask, if you switched off ONVIF accidentally! how would you go about to switching it back on? back story: I switched mine off thinking what was already connected would stay connected. I've reset the camera many times and have uses poe and wireless with no success (poe via router and also pc used). your help on this would be great.
If you log into the camera's webUI using your PC's browser, you could be able to turn OBVIF back on. You'll need the camera's IP address. If you are unsure of the address, use VIKYLIN's IP address finder: www.vikylin.com/uploads/Software/AjDevTools_V5.3.1_20210813.exe Hope this helps!
Thanks for the review - i was wondering have you done any reviews on the newer PTZ cameras with dual lens? Just curious whether they are worth the extra money for dual lens feature?
Hi does anyone know if the PTZ functions work fine on a 4k Hikvision NVR? Thanks

@@HomeTechDIY which app did you use to setup the camera, I'm trying dmss but without any luck.
I used Chrome from my PC and logged into the camera's web user interface. Just enter the IP address and the default credentials are admin:123456. From there you have access to all the configuration.
I would love to have one of those remotely accessible at an airport or a busy harbor, just for fun.
Perfect presentation without wastage of time. Thanks🙏
I would definitely be interested in more reviews of this style and price point type cameras. Thanks
Noted!
does the auto tracking work?
Yes, it works.
how's the camera holding,no problem, I'm about to buy this camera please give us an update

My switch says its compliant with IEEE802.3az. Would that work?
802.3az means the switch has a power saving mode but doesn't indicate if the device is 802.3at compatible. You would need to check the specifications for 802.3at.
Great vid! Any update on when you’ll be releasing the functionality of the cam? Looking to buy! 🍻
I need to know, How reset this ip cam for hardware? Thanks
Looking forward to a distance test out the back yard!
Auto tracking?
Yes

Not yet but I like to get my hands on one soon. They seem like they are worth the money but I can't say from personal experience.
Where's the follow up?
I liked your video and I bought the same camera but I can't install it I would like you to upload a video demonstrating the installation for phones🙏
For sure! It's on my list
2nd this!
3rd please
Will it work with an Annke NVR?
You would need to verify the Annke specs to see if it accepts the ONVIF protocol.
