In this blog we will try to outline the benefits of using a True Hybrid CCTV system.

Ok, so you have a Clear Flow WiFi device and you want to use it to extend your existing Wireless network, here is how you do it.

Note: An AIR 3 is being used in this example guide but the whole Clear Flow range use the same intuitive setup.

-

The first thing you need to do is power up your device. This can be achieved with a PoE switch or injector (supplied with certain models).

Whichever method you use, be sure to power up the device using its WAN port.

-

After you've powered up your unit it will broadcast a local WiFi, connect to this WiFi.
-

Once connected to the unit's local WiFi, go to a web browser and enter the default IP address '192.168.1.200'

You will be confronted with a login page, the default password is 'admin'

Once logged in you sh

I really like this new mini pano from ezviz.

This little fisheye camera works great on it's wn along with the EZVIZ app and an SD card but other options include adding to your existing Hikvision CCTV or IVMS-4200 client software.

The ezviz app offers you options to manipulate the camera view between 360° view, 180° panoramic view or 4-way split.

IVMS-4200 gives even more options, as can be seen below in this quick video of a first test.

Clear Flow in-wall Access Point

This example guide is written for the EZVIZ Indoor Pan-Tilt Camera but the same set-up can be used for most of the EZVIZ Wi-Fi cameras.

The first thing you need to do is get your camera onto your local network, there are two ways you can do this with the C6T camera; Wireless or via Ethernet.

Wireless Setup

Every now and then you may have a situation that arises where your client does not require a large recorder (NVR/DVR).
There is now a variety of Hikvision IP Cameras that can operate as a standalone system with an SD card used for the recording instead of a traditional recorder.

To set this kind of system up you will require a network cable, power supply (either 12VDC or POE injector), an SD Card (up to 128GB) and of course the camera. A PC/laptop will be required for the configuration.

The first step will be to install the SD card into the camera, for our example we will be using a DS-2CD2355FWD-I Turret Camera.

• Remove the outer ring of the camera to expose the locking screw.

• Loosen the locking screw (note this does not need to be fully removed)
