    I've not had anything to do with the iP cameras so can't be of much help. With my dad's camera system you needed a static ip address to view it from anywhere, but there are websites that you can use to get round this.

    Mark

     

    I see, yeah that makes sense.

     

    I think that you should have asked the advice before buying.

     

    I have had advice already from several knowledgeable people which I have taken into account.

     

    Is there any particular reason you say this? Have you seen something from with the items I have purchased?

     

    I am quite a techie, I studied IT a couple of years ago and I've dabbed with electronics before so I think I should be okay. I was posting just to see if I am missing anything obvious or to see if anyone had a simular setup and how they get on. Perhaps my title isn't quite accurate, although I am also looking for any useful advice.

     

    Regards,

    Most camera system are easy to set up. If you use the proper camera cable it has the video and power leads together so you can put the power pack with the recorder. That way it keeps everything in one place.

    Mark.

     

    Thanks Mark.

     

    It's actually a IP camera, so wireless connection to the NVR and just needs power.

     

    Unfortunately it's not like a kit, the parts I've ordered are Hikvision chinese items with modified firmware hence why they are so cheap. The camera alone would be over £100 in the UK.

     

    From what I have heard they shouldn't be too difficult to set up with a little knowledge but I guess I will soon find out.

    Evening everyone,

     

    I've took the plunge and finally ordered some equipment to setup a single camera for my property, since the past few weeks it would have been useful to have one.... please don't ask :lol:

     

    I've ordered the following things which seem to have been the best considering I am on a very tight budget:

     

    Camera (2.8mm lens): http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131591813713?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    NVR: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191765191497?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    Hard drive: http://www.awd-it.co.uk/western-digital-1tb-wd10purx-purple-sata-3.5-hard-drive-64mb-cache.html?gclid=CjwKEAjwpfC5BRCT1sKW2qzwqE0SJABkKFKRzZkg3eUPxUS5_I8rAYyTezbJ4biJ4-sSF5pd9qaTtxoCULrw_wcB

     

    I am aware the NVR only records at 2mp and the camera is 4mp but I think the quality will be adequate. I've spent around £140, if I opted for a better NVR it would have cost around £220.

    All I need now is a power cable for the camera since I won't be using poe.

     

    I haven't received anything yet however if anyone has any advice on setting it up or has a similar setup it would be great to hear from you.

  10. Mens Timberland Grantly Boots. Size 9 UK

    Posted · Edited by Joshua1993

    For sale are my Timberland Grantly boots which have only been worn twice - hence my reason for sale; they are hardly used.

     

    They do show small signs of use but are in overall great condition.

     

    Here is a link to see some pictures, they are £130 from Office: http://www.office.co.uk/view/product/office_catalog/1,41/2279851622

     

    My price: £65 + postage if required.

     

    Thanks

  11. DJI Phantom 3 or 4

    in Wanted

    Posted · Edited by Joshua1993

     

    You need a lipo alarm. £3 and will give you enough notice to land.

     

     

    The laws you'll read are condensed down from the CAP393 and 722, which are pretty extensive. Just respect the altitude laws, distance laws and don't fly over people's houses or in built up areas.

     

    Also, as you're in Cambridge, you must avoid flying in the Cambridge ATZ. Here's the charts for the area and it's extremely dangerous to fly a drone in an ATZ. Whilst a <7kg drone wouldn't actually be breaking the law, the news from Heathrow today doesn't exactly point to the fact you can safely fly your drone in these areas.

     

    Cambridge is also likely to have a lot more small aircraft, which are much harder to hear and tend to have people training and doing exercises, so their paths can vary a lot. Also be wary of helicopters, as they're a rule unto themselves.

     

    That Cambridge laser site is a strict no fly zone. If you're within that, please don't fly there under any circumstances!

     

    Thanks again for the information.

     

    I see, I think perhaps I need to do a little more research on that then as it seems more extensive than I originally thought.

     

    I understand about flying is built up areas ect.. but wasn't to aware of the other zones. I don't suppose you know where I can find a full map like the one above you have given for Cambridge?

     

    Kind regards,

    Joshua

  12. DJI Phantom 3 or 4

    the syma x5c is ok to learn the basics with (i own one) order extra batteries the only fault i find with it is when the battery runs low the lights start flashing to warn you but before you can react it just falls from the sky so i fly mine with a timer alarm on my phone set for 5 mins a friend also as one which does the same . also consider the hubsan x4 great to fly around the house and even better once your confident enough to fly outside in light winds what are you wanting one for aerial photography or just to fly ?

     

    Okay thanks for the timing tip. I think the Syma is more comparable to the DJI so I think it would be better for me to try that - it will only be for a very short period though but I guess it's better than nothing.

     

    Yes, the aim is for aerial photography hence wanting to the upgrade to the DJI otherwise the Syma would probably have satisfied my needs just for the flying part.

     

    I use a parrot bebop 1 witch is good, even tho I've had one fly away.

     

    I've seen those before but I wasn't too impressed. Casey Neistat uses the Bebop 2 I believe and he has had issues too. I guess they can't be to good if they fly away :lol:

    Just to throw in my advice on this. If this is your first foray into the drone world, I'd avoid buying an expensive drone as your first buy - you WILL crash it and it will feel bad when you watch a £800-1000 piece of kit smash to pieces...

     

    There's a lot out there which will give you a taster of what they're like to fly, but without the guilt when you do smash it into the ground!

     

    Also, if you need any advice on flying them or clarification on the laws, please message me.

     

    Hi mate all the info on here www.uavforums.uk I have had a dji drone very easy to fly but I have flown model planes and helicopters , just don't throw the

    sticks about till you are confident with it. All the rules and regs are on this site have a look. like on here all good blokes for any information.

     

    teza

     

    Thanks for your replies, they are much appreciated.

     

    I was thinking of initially starting on a Syma x5c just to get use to the experience so perhaps I may still do this even if it's only very brief I guess it will help. I may order one tomorrow then just so I can practice until I find a suitable DJI.

     

    From what I have seen the Syma x5c is a nice cheap drone which quite a few people get before stepping up.

     

    Thanks for the link, I'll have a look on that site for more information and I will certainly keep your offer in mind Billy if I need some advice :good:

     

    I have had a little read on the laws and they seem quite relaxed for now, although I hear this could change since they have become more popular.

     

    Kind regards,

    Joshua

  16. GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition

    in Other Sales

    Posted

    For sale is my GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition.

     

    I have decided to part ways with it because it rarely gets used anymore.

     

    It is in fully working order. It comes just with the basic accessories as shown in the picture, so you will require a USB cable and micro SD card but they are very cheap to buy online.

     

    My asking price is £155, no offers please. That would be for cash on collection from Cambridge.

     

    I can post for an additional £7 if required.

     

    Thanks.

  23. Canon DSLR camera and Lenses

    Posted · Edited by Joshua1993

    Good afternoon,

     

    Having just started a photography course I am in the market to buy some Canon photography equipment since I previously sold all my equipment, here are a few ideas I have in mind:

     

    Body: 60D, 7D MK II, 6D, 5D MK III. Anything around the mid-range except for an original Canon 7D, I would like to avoid this body.

    Lenses: Anything of reasonable quality, I would consider L lenses depending on the price. I am not looking to buy standard kit lenses i.e. 18-55mm.

     

    If you have anything reasonably priced please drop me a PM with the details so I get notified via email, otherwise I may miss your response.

     

    Thanks

  25. Apple TV (2nd Generation)

    in Other Sales

    Posted · Edited by Joshua1993

    Hi everyone,

     

    I have a 2nd Generation Apple TV up for sale.

     

    It is in good working order but does come unboxed with only the power cable and remote control, so the buyer will need a HDMI cable but that can be bought for less than £2 online.

     

    £50 cash on collection from Cambridge or I can deliver for an extra £3.90.

     

    If you're interested please drop me a PM so I get notified via email and can respond quickly.

     

    Thanks.
