Use SSL - Unticked (if you enable this regardless of image encryption setting on the camera, it doesnt work)ĭisable Pan/Tilt/Zoom - Unticked (the camera doesnt support PTZ anyhow)
Input of stream number: 5 (this give me 1080p 30fps), you can pick the stream that suits your needs the best - note this is where you can alter the framerate/resolution/colour palette - you can't do that in the other areas of the SecuritySpy interface) Video Size: Mine are blank, and I couldn't fill them in Password: (first 8 digits of your camera password) - Note the new Samsung software limits you to 8 characters now anyhow Add the cameras in SecuritySpy, mine were auto-discovered ok, but I changed the address to the IP address of the camera to be sure. Don't bother to use the web interface anymore - its complete and utter rubbish, I constantly have connection/streaming problems which turns out is nothing to do with the cameras its Samsung's rubbish cloud service.Ħ. Set your router/access-point/switch/whatever is providing DHCP IP addresses to reserve specific IP's based on the MAC addresses printed on the back for the cameras so they don't change.ĥ. Make sure Image Encryption is disabled otherwise SecuritySpy cant connect.Ĥ. Note, the web site is so rubbish it doesn't seem to have half of the options that are listed in the manual, you can access these using the iPhone app. I didn't enable any of the other functionality (date stamping etc) of the cameras but I did use the iPhone Samsung app to check that the date/time/Night vision mode etc were set correctly. You can switch to Wifi but I constantly had "relay mode" "connection problems" show up when I tried that even though I have a very strong 802.11n wifi network, so I have reverted to Ethernet for streaming. You may be able to use the iPhone app to do it but I haven't tried initial set up using that.
Set up the camera using the website, it will tell you to install a plugin which you'll need to do to get it set up. Plug in and turn on the camera with Ethernet connected.Ģ. So I have 2 of the camera working absolutely spot on with SecuritySpy, I thought I'd take the time to note down what I did/settings just in case anyone else had one and were having problems:ġ. I took the plunge as the specs looked quite good, and thought I could try and hack the firmware on the camera to re-enable the disabled features. There are quite a few reports problems with this camera since Samsung kindly disabled the web-interface with a firmware update last year. It's a 1080p/30fps IP camera with IR for night vision.
Just thought I'd take the time to give everyone a quick heads up around the Samsung Smartcam SNH-P6410BN.
