Set Up An Iphone As A Surveillance Camera

STURDY AND EASY TO SET UP.

We have purchased two of these so far to use primarily as NVRs for a large number of IP cameras on a school campus. Licensing costs aside, Synology Surveillance Station does a really nice job making it easy to set up and scale with the number of cameras you have. We linked two together, making one the primary and the other a secondary target for recordings. Surveillance Station records direct-to-disk, and does a decent job of adjusting camera settings directly using ONVIF. We have about 50+ cameras running at resolutions from 1280x720 up to 2560x1600, some PTZ, some ceiling-mount fisheyes, mostly wide angle fixed, and everything works pretty well. We were even able to use the manual camera configuration to use some uncommon double-lens cameras. With about 26 cameras assigned to each RS422+, we see about 20-25% CPU on each on average during a typical day. We can comfortably handle 32 per unit, and supposedly up to 40 if needed. With x4 6TB drives in each set in SHR-1 (equivalent to RAID5) we have about a month or so of footage retention. The licensing is a little pricey at $50 per camera (unless you buy in bulk from some european IP camera shops...), but it is perpetual and I think worth the expense. Using two of these units, 8 cheap drives from eBay (luckily these do not suffer from the Synology whitelist) and a bunch of camera licenses, for around under $5000 I was able to build and set up a really easy to use and reliable NVR system with plenty of future expandability. 2-3 users are regularly connected on their desktops without issue.

It works excellent as a surveillance camera for a remote water trough I am using it on. I can set how many pictures maximum i get per day. I have been using the camera for 3 weeks now and it has been trouble free other then a switch on the app turned off for some unknown reason and i wasn’t getting pics sent to my phone for one day until i figured it out. Saves me a lot of time and money driving back and forth to check on it. I would be interested in becoming a dealer for you.

GREAT PRODUCT AND EASY TO SET UP.

THIS CAMERA WAS VERY EASY TO SET UP AND THE PICTURES ARE AWESOME,VERY CLEAR!

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

USE IT TO SET UP A DIGITAL MOTION PICTURE CAMERA ON THE RIGHT DOOR GLASS OF A CESSNA 172SP TO SHOOT TAKE OFFS AND LANDINGS. GREAT FOR REVIEWING MY PRACTICE SESSIONS.
