Here is another worm if your cctv are not secured. Welcome of using China cheap brand cctv... Most if not all China cheap brand have the password hardcoded inside.

Ouch... time to check if your CCTV's are secured

I'm using REOLINK RLC-410s. I can get 4MP@30fps.

If not, just provide free video for other to watch

Need to ask again. I have 2 areas in my apt that i had prepped for wireless cctv during reno time, i.e. i had fixed socket there. After a year I have not fixed cctv. Initially was going for Sharp SmartHome but I now want to explore cheaper option. Any recommendation for decent cctv and similar features to Sharp?

Also, I now keep fearing that anyone can easily unplug my cctv since the socket plug is just nxt to it, even though it's quite high up on the wall.

I dont want to do hacking on my walls now as ut'll be messy so I suppose wireless is the only option right?

Anyone can help with my hikvision NVR which i recently change to maxis and is not working with IVMS.
Already asked maxis to open up public IP but still not working.
Internal Wifi can view remotely but once change to mobile data it will not work on remote viewing via IVMS

Have you setup porforwarding on your router?

I dont see any port forwarding in maxis router are you talking about the upnp?

1. Make sure u get Public IP. Call Maxis to get that, FOC.
2. Configure the DDNS in your router, or use HIK HiDDNS, setup in DVR.
3. Port Forwarding - go to 192.168.1.254 > Toolbox > Game and Application Sharing > Create New Game or Application > Assign Game or Application to Device

Hello guy...need some advise from sifu here...
1) should i be worry about lighthing strike or power surge for analog HD outdoor cctv system?

2) is it wise to opt for PTZ camera to cover 180' viewing angle on rotational basis or better get 2 bullet cam which could cover those angle permanently?

Can anyone recommend me cctv brands that has the following criteria

1. Wireless
2. Offers cloud storage, preferably as a package with the camera. Any additional storage required, I will subscribe.
3. Can view from mobile phone
4. Only records when there is movement
5. 180-degree angle viewing and recording
6. Budget around RM500

Ans1: If the camera is not mounted higher than your building, very less percentage it will strike by lightning. Make sure u use weatherproof at least Ip66 Camera, even the camera is not directly exposed to weather, For example, in car porch. For power surge, you may use Power Surge Socket to protect the DVR and Camera Power Supply.
Ans2: I believe 2 Fixed Cameras is cheaper than an Outdoor PTZ, nowadays FullHD Fixed Camera can cover area of 80 degree, so 2 Cameras sure can covered all areas.

Try look for Fisheye IPCam, 360degree, mount on ceiling, in the middle of the area.

any recommendation for wireless IP camera (dome) ?

anyone with EE automation before?

Awesome thread... learn lots of things... definitely helps in deciding on the CCTV system of our house...

However, my house comes with these 2 pre-installed... are they any good? Should I just continue with them (the CCTV system is plug and play can increase the cameras etc).

Just remain and continue using it

i unable to decide using xiaomi wireless or hkvision system dvr.
priority is house safety. what is pro and con. Thanks bro

Xiaomi wireless:
Cheaper
Newer mijia cameras has priority area detection (mijia 1080p not 360 version)
You get 6 sec video motion alerts
Can save to nas/samba share/sdcard
No need decoder
Integrated with mi home security, so you can also get mi door sensor, motion sensor for extra protection
Live stream is optimized and great for streamyx users with 0.5mbps upload speed

Cons:
Not exactly waterproof/weatherproof but should be fine indoors & certain outdoor location that's shady/not directly exposed to weather
You can only use their xiaomi apps to access the cameras (technically you still can 3rd party app, just need to hack firmware)

Hikvision
Expensive (obviously)
Higher picture quality, especially with >4mp camera (you can see samples at youtube)
Decoder is optional, but better if you want hours of archive footage (needs bigger hdd for longer recording time depending on bitrates) & ease of control for multiple cameras
Needs wiring done

Pros:
Much more flexibility & control with camera settings
Can use hikvision apps or 3rd party to view camera feeds
Can connect to ups for continuous recording when power's out
