They are now connected to the Internet and ready to view. The user name/password will be placed under your door (not posting it here for privacy reasons!). A few notes:

  • One of the long cables broke during installation, that’s why CH1 is now showing a utility room. A new cable is on order and that camera will be installed facing the East carport when Scott gets back from vacation after August 1.
  • Cameras are recording in high quality 24/7. The DVR stores about 10 days worth of video.
  • All residents have access to view live and recorded footage.
  • Live feeds are viewable from popular mobile smart phones (including iPhone)
  • Mac users have some limitations—can’t view recorded footage nor all 4 cameras at the same time. This is a limitation of the system and beyond our control.
  • If a crime happens Scott and board members (with a Windows computer) have the ability to save recorded footage to a file that can be turned over to the Police.

Tip for iPhone users:
When you bring up the camera for the first time, tap the middle icon (looks like an arrow coming out of a box) and select Add to Home Screen. This will create a shortcut with your apps.

Recently, the system we purchased was tested and the board as well as Scott was satisfied with the image quality therefore ordered the wires needed to complete the installation which is scheduled to start Friday, July 8, 2011.

Three cameras will be installed outside. One will be focused on the gate and the other two on each side of the car ports. The remaining camera will be installed in the lobby. Cameras will be recording 24/7 so any theft will be documented. Once the system is completely set up, all residents will have access to the live feed on a password protected URL. Residents will be notified of the URL, user name and password privately.
