Loftek Sentinel D-1: Can you use BlueIris to schedule recording and control this camera?
1623961
Yes Blue Iris can do all that and more, I have 20 assorted brand IP Cams running with B.I. Two of them are Loftek Sentinels like this, they are great cameras for the money.

Yes it can, I have been using the camera with BlueIris since I received it. PTZ controls work well. Simple setup.

Not trying to fanboy it up or anything but I've found the very best software is called Blue Iris. http://blueirissoftware.com/I have 4 from xfinity and still have their service but they don't provide any means for recording etc, so I just use Blue iris installed on my home server to do all the motion triggering, recording, remote viewing. Then setup to Google drive for cloud backups just encase the server was stolen etc..Also, you will need to know the IP addresses of each camera. This can allow you to jsut view each one with their built in software or when adding to a surveillance program. iSpy does this automatically but just didn't care for the program. Blue iris supports up to 64 cameras for $50 lifetime.

Funny thing, I didn't use BlueIris...at all. Was able to install all (3) F18910W cameras, 1 at a time. Perhaps you need BlueIris if you want to blow $40 like the others here. Otherwise watch the instructional video that is included with the cam. Then install the cams with the SOFTWARE it was SHIPPED WITH. Done. $40 in your pocket. Download the prefered app on your phone and transfer the HTTP, Port, username & password. (Or just spend $40 and watch your money go down the drain...your call)

No you will need software such as blue iris. This system will only captures real time

yes, you need software to do it, that does not cost much. BlueIris is the name of the software I believe, and it works wonderful. Records sound too if you want it to. I think it is 40$ for the software. The foscam site has a link for the software.

You do not need a receiver or DVR, but it is highly recommended. Blue Iris is the best, since it handles all Foscam models. You need a PC (or server) which will aggregate all of the footage for you and allow you to take control of the camera from the Blue Iris console itself. Once you manage the camera from Blue Iris, you don't need to manage it locally any longer (Blue Iris handles everything). Blue Iris is about $60. It is a one-time license. Your 2nd question regarding wireless - Like all wifi, it is only as strong as you configure it. Evildoers would have to first be on your wireless network in order to take control of the camera. Be sure to do the following on your ROUTER, in order to keep you and your family safe: 1.) Use WPA2 encryption, with a strong passphrase that is NOT in any English/Spanish/German dictionaries. Use symbols. 2.) Turn OFF WPS (Wifi Protected Setup) 3.) Turn on MAC Filtering. This is easily bypassed by hackers, but does another hurdle to the security mix. 4.) Don't use a Wifi SSID that represents your house. For example, I see many times where people put their house # in their SSID. BAD MOVE, GOOD FOR HACKERS! Use something that doesn't tie your wifi to yourself. 5.) On your Foscam CAMERA(s): Change the default username and password. That way, if someone does attach to your wifi network, they can't easily Google "Foscam default username/password" and log into your camera with ease. 6.) On your Foscam CAMERA(s): Update the camera's firmware periodically. There are exploits that come out which exploit the vulnerability on some of the ports/services that run on the camera (as with any device on the planet). Be sure to keep up-to-date on the firmware. Apologies for being thorough. Hope this helps!

I'm using this camera with Blue Iris software and it does the motion detection. I have tried to get the Grandstream software to work with no success. The Blue Iris software just runs in Windows 7. I did get the IP phone in the camera to work with Asterisk. The camera auto answers the phone and I can talk and hear anyone close to the camera.

Thanks! This looks great for the Mac, but a PC version (or parallel) would be great. Basically I'm looking for a timed way for a camera to come on a specific hour, and record until another hour, and then rotate the video files. Thoughts?

The system support below record mode: Continuous / Time Schedule / Motion Detection, it can be set from the DVR, thanks.

Hi Jerome... I don't believe you can schedule a time for Pan, Tilt or Zoom, I guess that would be considered "patrolling", or moving to a particular preset position at a scheduled time. Of course you do know you can schedule the camera to send motion detected alerts with snapshots of the image(s) that caused the alert to an email address. You can set scheduled times that you want your camera to detect and send alerts. I have no yet installed my Foscam FI9828W yet, I am waiting for the weather and temperature improve. Although I have allready programmed the camera, I have not spent a lot of time playing with it.

There's a sensitivity level you can play around with. At a sensitive setting, my camera picked up dust flying by it in the middle of the night. I think the AC kicked in and blew some dust and the infrared was able to detect it. As long as it detects motion within the range you pick, it will start recording (you have 2 different ranges you can set).

Yes. You have to set it up as a PSIA or ONVIF device, but it functions fine. If you want to use motion detection on the camera to save CPU cycles on te Synology, then use PSIA.

We have two cameras set to the motion sensing and do not record while the other six are recording. I didn't find anything in the manual (you can find this on line) on this but our security company installer did this for us.

Yes - I have the camera working with blue iris software using these protocols.
