Has anyone had any problems getting h.264 resolution from this camera? Also, neither the Focscam IP CAM &amp; Blue Iris work with it.

I have the fl9821w vers 2 and im using ip cam viewer from play store on my android s5. Its the best of the worst ive found but to get the hd look u have to switch from ch 4 to ch 1 which then makes it unstable. Its b.s isnt it? I bought my camera for the hd but cant get it on my android. Anyways...try ip cam viewer

I think the pic quality is good. The pre setting modes work great. Bought this camera to use in Hawaii and took a lot of pics outside of water and they came out nice. We took a high end dlsr cam but used this one about 80% of the time. FYI the underwater pics were pretty good. Just try not to zoom in on things underwater andale sure you have it on the underwater mode. Hope this helps

Pretty low compared to using a FW connection on the Canon HD20 I was using it with. FW connection >1 second. BMD Mini Recorder using HD20 HDMI output <0.3 second (guessing). Takes some setting up in BMD software (I needed help from distributor) but once it's configured all good.

Well I suppose Canon could be lying or the two techs at two different times were misinformed about the MPEG2. Since the camera hasn't been released yet, how do you know that the files are .mod? Also some sites (not Amazon) are claiming this is an HD camera. It's not, it's SD.

Anthony: I used to have a JVC Everio, the first model out some years back. I loved the size of the thing, and it took great still pics. The only thing I didn't like was the .MOD file extensions for the videos. It was, quite frankly, a pain in the butt trying to deal with the vids. I ended up selling it. I don't know if they corrected that .MOD nonsense, but somehow I don't believe so. Go with the SONY (my opinion). Congrats on the baby :-) Mike

Beware the Sony "cineframe" options -- they look terrible. I have a Sony HC3 and while it's a fine little camera in 1080i 60i mode, the pseudo-24p stuff looks awful.The HV20 promises TRUE 24fps recording, plus a cinematic gamma curve, plus OIS, plus manual audio level controls, plus better lowlight performance. I wasn't even planning on buying a new camera, but I'm buying an HV20. At $1099, it's a great deal!

It would be awesome to see a Proof in this. Could you perhaps make some good quality Cam Pictures form the Side(s) with your non IPS Panel?Its the same Issue in Europe with IPS / VA Panels mixeup.Thx a Million :)

I have been tracking this issue also, but I don't have the new camera yet. I just put together s system with the same processor and memory, and installed Sony VMS 10. From what I have heard, the problem is capturing the video from the camera in it's native format. Once its in a suitable format, it will handle the video.

Hi Joe,I had a previous Sony camcorder with AVCHD compatibility and I was able to convert the file to a MOV. file with no problem. I don't recall off-hand how I did that, though. With the Canon, I wasn't able to see any footage in AVCHD if I plugged in the SD card. Other users might have had better luck than me. There might be a way to convert the footage so it works in iMovie. I'm sure there are apps on the Internet that might work. I hope this helps. Thanks.

So I just bought and received this camera a couple of days ago. I am literally setting it up right now while I am writing this review. I've installed about 20 wireless ip cameras from various manufacturers (I have an IT business.) So I went about installing in the usual manner. Connect camera to router, check the DHCP table to get the ip address, log in via the ip address (the CDs are worthless), and change the settings from there. It usually take me 10 minutes. This camera went about the same until I tried to log in via the ip address in my web browser. My router found the camera, but I couldn't log in. I've been troubleshooting for about half an hour and I found the culprit, which is probably why people have had trouble with set-up on this camera. THE DEFAULT PORT SETTING IS 81 (not 80)!!! After that - set-up was per every other ip camera I've done. I've finished the set-up before finishing this post. Hope that helps!

K, I to have that ? There's alot out the about Mac/Intel supports only to find the answer defeating your purpose. I want to edit my recordings with Imovie8 and am concerned about buying this camera and ending up with incompatible issues like Codec,codec conversion,transfer, capture, reduction of quality. Not to much all the unqualified reviews out their. I'm off to Europe soon and need the right cam. will fs11 do/Imovie

Could you tell me where you went to change the setting on the video to high quality? I couldn't find it on my H5.Thank you,Esther

Bob, did you ever find out? I just ordered the camera and want to know the same thing! Thanks for any help.

I use Blue Iris and get a constant stream of video. It will work concurrently with a web browser either through a remote web connection or through a smart phone. I would note the connection is temperamental and will drop out from time to time, but overall it is consistent.

From a preview I read on another site (camcorderinfo.com) the highest quality output is true 1920x1080 progressive. Anything captured in a lower quality setting is the 1440x1080 resolution which was troublesome for some editing suites. I am waiting for some more professional reviews to be published comparing this one (and it's 120GB sibling) against the Canon HF10 which is getting good reviews. The Canon features a maximum 17Mb/s bitrate vs. the HDR-SR11/12's 16Mb/s maximum bitrate. The Canon is also flash memory vs. HDD but I don't have a strong preference either way.

Hi Damian. Thanks for reaching out. The NetCam has its own software for viewing/streaming. It does not work with other 3rd party software like Blue Iris.
