What software are you using to manage it?
That is a screenshot from my Samsung tablet using tinycam Pro. You can manage it using IE browser or chrome with an IE plug in. Some use Blue Iris but it is a resource hog.

I don't think chrome supports the plug in anymore. That's why I was curious what you were using. If that's just the app on a tablet than that's awesome. I've heard people using blue iris and that it's a resource hog, those people usually had a dedicated pc running it.

Yeah Blue Iris needs a dedicated pc but you can do that for a few hundred dollars. It does a lot of processing for motion detection and such. I'm running Blue Iris and it works great. Still setting everything up though. Doorbell cam is next.
And a network hog. I have it but don't use it anymore. Plus, the guy started an annual fee structure. It's not that good to warrant that.

I can see not liking it for the other issues but network hog doesn't make sense. The "cameras" stream the data not Blue Iris.
I hadn't realized he went to a yearly subscription. As for everything else. It's working great for what I want it to do which is capture certain motion for security.

I have a few of the Amcrest wireless ip cameras and they are awesome.

Ah ok. I'm not paying for that. I have 10 cameras all running 30 fps, all 2 mpixelss or higher, each camera running a 3 second pre-motion buffer and my processor is only running 30% and network bandwidth is fine so I've had good luck with Blue Iris. If only I could find a decent doorbell camera which would integrate and have an inside chime also.

Well I got the doorbird and it works ok. Works with a doorchime, blue iris, and also over my security tablets and phones. Decent video but the IR only comes on at night when the button is pushed. That will probably get fixed in a firmware update. Other annoying thing is that I cannot get it to use my speaker, just the earpiece, on my phone. Sending them an email to see if they can fix this in future updates. Otherwise, it is well built but expensive, and does what I need it to do.
I am almost done with all my camera profiles and will be soon working on the window breakage, door, siren aspect using zwave and integrating it in with the cameras.
