What took me a few hours and nerves, is the latest firmware (V. 17.37.2.43).
I hope this will soon do something, the support staff at INSTAR wrote me,
the end of October for an update is provided.
This might not be the same installation debacle buyer experience here and the list of problems that I have found for me:
WLAN connection
- The WPA2 password can not be longer than 15 characters, contain any special characters or National Character!
- Channel 12 and channel 13 are not supported by the camera !!!!
- The camera does not automatically reconnects in case of interruption of the wireless connection, eg overnight shutdown. OFF / ON is required!
DDNS Service
- The camera takes a "manufacturers' own DDNS service with or you do not own setting, so far so good.
Only problem is, whom one already in his router which can be produced DDNS connection, which in my view is yes meaningful,
then starts the camera to your company's DDNS "to phone homecoming" and I really do not need at a China server.
Here is missing in the current firmware version a complete power down option.
So far I have found only this possibility, choke off the camera manufacturer DDNS:
The command must be sent to the camera, then rest on the hotel's own DDNS camera.
"Xxx.xxx.xxx. / Set_factory_ddns.cgi? Service = 12 & proxy_svr = proxy_port = host = & user = & pwd ="
WebBrowser
- Apparently is primarily assumed here IE, the full scope of services can only be achieved through ActivX
- Safari and mobile but generally supported, halt just fewer features.
IOS App
- There is a free iOS app by the manufacturer, this is very rudimentary and supported eg
neither the iPad nor the power on / off the IR LEDs. Here also an update of support but was announced!
- Transition, I am now switched to the IPCam FC, this will only cost 79cent and the developer is very active and also responds to requests!
If the way someone asks what is the difference between the 3010 and the 3011 camera,
as I see it, there is the possibility to switch off the IR LEDs!
This point is always of interest when a disc not ° angle faces the camera 90,
then reflected an oblique slice the IR illumination and the image is no longer usable.
