I need an IP camera, day and night use. I have a switch on a door. I want a photo taken when the door switch closes, not motion. Suggestions?

Don't know of an IP Camera with dry contract connections for a trip switch. And that includes the Loftek Nexus 543. It uses frame differential analysis for motion detection and is subject to a lot of false trips.

Yes this is possible. The camera can both trigger an alarm system when it detects motion or be triggered by an alarm system to start recording images. It has connections where both inputs and outputs can be hooked up. Your door switch would be acting as the alarm signal.

It is not the camera that records it is a software that is provided and yes the Foscam IP camera come with software call IP setup software to access the camera software for setup. The IP software will record and also has motion detector setting. You can also use for recording ispy and Blue Iris. This connect to Internet network that's either a switch or a router by using the cable RJ45 cat5. Set up the camera and you prefer set up your wireless connection then disconnect the cable after setup and see if you're on WiFi.

The camera is powered by a cord with a 110volt plug. There has to be a duplex receptacle near the camera. The camera CAN be triggered my motion detect, but that has more to do with your DVR. It will work through a window during the day time, but the night vision just gets a white shine through glass.

No. This camera must be connected to a dvr. You may be looking for an ip camera.

There's a setting in the cameras menu that indicates if the shutter can be released remotely. I suppose if you have that option this device can activate it.

On the top of the camera do I leave the switch kept on the Green Camera? I don't know which setting that should be on either. Do I use the flash with the flower button? Need more light? I don't know what my image quality should be set on or my image size, should it be set on portair, number of pixels to use. Sorry so much, but this camera is new and I can't figure it out. So frustrating. Thanks for answering.

That's what I use mine for. I have a switch in the dash that let's me turn it on any time I want. I don't leave it on constantly, just long enough to check the trailer when I'm towing. I have left it on for a few hours at a time. It worked just fine. I think the camera is pretty tough. Goes thru car washes and Michigan winters with no issues. I rate it pretty high.

The camera is very easy to set up. All the setup is dome with switches. No security.Russell

I suspect no, but I am not certain. If you are not connected to the Internet but just want to look at your cameras from a computer which is wired to the switch using one of the non POE ports while your cameras are wired to the POE ports, it would probably work, but no guarantees. If you are connected to the Internet, I would use a router for the firewall that most routers provide.

if you want everything except the temperature try the Poloroid IP510. It has remote viewing on PC and mobile device / Motion and Sound detection with alerts to your email / night vision / and you can remotely control the motion of the camera / plus it is a hundred dollars cheaper.

The camera is powered by a standard outlet. I am not sure if the camera can be triggered on by motion detection. We use it for a continuous live feed. It should work installed behind a glass window. You just might need to make sure to keep the glass clean for a clear image.

Talk to your service provider regarding Internet ip if real and options for port blocked or not. (Canyouseeme.org) open port check tool. The way it's set up is continuing recording with pictures taking images when motion occurs. My opinion keep as originally set up works out fine. Image quality good for amount spent also lighting use yellow led or yellow type bulbs not white best for night vision image quality.

Why would you want to do that? If you were able to disconnect the LED's, then you may not see the image when the PIR senses someone entering. If you want to 'Catch Someone' without giving away that they're being recorded, than, don't buy this lamp; because the PIR emits a blue light when it senses movement and they'll definitely see that. The LED lights DO NOT come on during the day, if that's your concern, but the camera, tripped by the PIR, still records movement.

No. This is not an IP camera. it runs down CAT5 but only works with specific Samdung DVR's. Doesnt have an interface to the camera.

its not ip based....its an analog camera that can either be connected to a tv or a dvr.

First off, I don't understand the question about how fast the service has to be. I had no issue with speed of service. I was completely satisfied with the set up of my camera, except that I really wanted one that would show what is going on outdoors at night. It worked great during the day, covering my yard, and worked good inside the house.

I bought the ip cam viewer app and was able to set it up see it on the same network but once I leave the network it wont work. Something about the ip address not being static but always changing. I was unsuccessful in setting up the record either since I'm not an IT guy. I think unless you really know networking it's pretty complicated for a noob like myself. There are couple of free ip camera viewers out there so check it out. I'm able to view, pan, and tilt with the one I got. Just wish I knew how to take advantage of the full potential. Sorry I couldn't have been a better help.
