Poe Surveillance Camera With Iphone App

I wanted to set up some surveillance cameras that required PoE, and this switch required little technical knowledge and worked right away!

This product is great. I use this for my surveillance networks, running a server and POE network switch. I use NUT server on Ubuntu to handle powering off server in the event of prolonged power loss.

This is exactly what I needed to get my old surveillance camera back up and running. Thanks.

I'm very pleased with the Synology Surveillance system. Disk storage is a central part of a security camera system, and when I started researching additional storage for my old Windows-based system, I realized that Synology has a great add-on called Surveillance Station. I bought a Synology storage array with the intention of either using it with my existing Windows system or perhaps with the built-in Surveillance Station. I tested Surveillance Station and it worked really well - great software if you want their stand-along application - great web interface if you don't want to use the desktop app - and a great mobile app. I threw out the old Windows box and went with this complete solution instead. I will also point out that Synology offered me free trial licensees so I could test this with all 32 of my cameras at once. Definitely worth contacting them if you have questions or want a full-scale trial.

we needed a 4th camera for our live stream set up, and with this (and a free app) we were able to connect my iphone to my atem mini, adding an additional camera with minimal effort.

Good camera, lots of options to customize it to your use pattern. The case from this kit barely fits the camera, especially tight fit when you carry an extra battery. Wifi connection to iPhone app works great. Although the absence of GPS in the camera means you have to remember to turn on GPS logging on your phone app before using the camera, which drains your phone battery a lot more. No Mac wifi syncing app, so I have to go back to connecting the sd card to my MacBook. Don't sync all pictures to your phone if you plan to later import from the sdcard because some metadata (like lens info) doesn't transfer to the MacOS Photo.app through the iPhone syncing method.

I just got this trigger for lightning photography. I haven't used it for lightning yet, but I set it up on my camera and installed the app on my iPhone. Tested it and it worked. It was easy but now to see if a bolt will trigger it.

I use the product to monitor audio recorded from an external microphone (RODE NTG2) into a Canon 5DMkII. I was told by an employee at B&H that other camera audio monitoring solutions (Magic Lantern, etc.) can potentially void the warranty on the Canon camera. Scary. Controlling audio input during recording is overrated. The Sescom is a safe alternative. Just set a healthy audio input level in the settings and let it be. Also, it works on the iPhone!! Amazing. I use my iPhone as a field recorder using the RODE app. I hook up the Sescom cable with a boom pole, shotgun mic, set of heaphones, and my iPhone. Super slick and mobile system. Then I just send the files from my app to my computer via Dropbox.

Several reviewers have complained about not receiving a printed manual that they can carry around. In addition to downloading the manual from the Olympus website you can put it on an iPhone if you install the Adobe Acrobat viewer App from the from the App Store. I have it on my iPhone 7 Plus and find It more convenient than carrying around a printed manual. FYI - a printed manual was included with the camera/lens combo I purchased. I have also noticed that the camera's performance at the highest ISO settings is noticeably improved.

This camera is incredible, for the price.  The mobile app on the iphone is really great compared to other apps like GoPros.  Having the ability to go back and export a video from one shot in a different way is really game-changing.
