Produce a range of IP cameras with Wifi and some with PT (no Z), but what is most extraordinary is the prices - they really are low. You can get a basic fixed Wifi IP camera at 640x480 resolution for around £35 all in on eBay. If you have worked with the high resolution then don't expect the same quality.

Build quality is respectable with TENVIS, but the optics and size of the sensors, plus the high resolutions available with AXIS put them a cut abover everyone else. If you are monitoring a large area and want to be able to identify a complete stranger at a distance from the cameras then high end AXIS cams are the way.

Free dashboard widgets for mac. If you want to check who's been at your front door or which of the neighbour's cats is coming through the cat flap then cheap TENVIS cams may well do the job. With Wifi they are also ideal for putting where it would be inconvenient to run network cables like in garden sheds, carports, etc. Initial Camera setup. Without Windows The manual says that you need to use their Windows only setup tool, but if you do not have a Windows box then they are relatively simple to setup with only a browser. This can also be done with Windows where security and stability concerns of installing third party software are to be avoided.

TENVIS cams do not seem to be configured for DHCP out the box so just checking the DHCP logs isn't going to help though the manual seems to have some conflicting information on that so maybe some models do use DHCP. They come configured on a static IP of 192.168.1.239 on the wired network so the easiest thing to do is to configure a machine (I used a laptop) on another address on that network, say 192.168.1.100 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0) and connect it directly to the camera with a suitable cable.

The next thing to note is that there is nothing listening on port 80 (normal web/http port) so when you point your web browser at the IP address, you get nothing. The web interface in fact runs on port 81 so you need to put into the browser at which point you should get the login box pop up. Depending on the model, Username and Password by default are both admin (all lower case), or Password may be blank, at which point you should be able to choose 'Server Push Mode' for or 'VLC plug-in Mode' (requires VLC plugin) and then you can configure the Wifi or wired network to an appropriate address.

To stream the video without having to use the admin credentials it's also worth adding a user under 'Users Settings' - I added a user of 'view' with no password as a Visitor which allows access to the video stream, but you could set a password for the video if you want extra security. Obviously, it's also a good idea to set a suitably strong admin password. Once you have the device configured for your network and can get into the web interface on it's final address and configuration, it's time to move onto configuring ZoneMinder to use the cam. Configuring ZoneMinder for TENVIS cam Rather easy actually! TENVIS provide two resolutions and a number of frame rates to use.
