Vivotek IP8332 for home monitoring
By Miguel Lombana
I had been looking to update my analog camera system and DVR and wanted to invest in a quality megapixel IP solution that I could rely on to give me images that could actually be useful in the event that something happened at my house and I needed evidence.The Vivotek IP8332 was recommended time and time again on various forums and I was able to find video demos on YouTube that seemed to show that this was a great investment for under 500 bucks per cam, which in the world of IP cams is actually very cheap!The manual is a bit sketchy but if you read through it and go into the menus and experiment you can easily figure it out and get some amazing results.The camera has the ability to stream 4 different quality and resolution streams via web interface, droid or other smartphone, email pictures of events or upload to a storage device such as a NAS. Using the built in Linux OS it even has the ability to setup Dynamic DNS and IP forwarding for access outside of your network. I use IP Cam Viewer Lite (Free for up to 5 cams) on my droid and am able to keep tabs on everything at home even when away.In my situation I have setup several motion detection boxes on each cam and when triggered they will record to a local drive using the included and free ST7501 multicam software, take several frame grabs and both store them on a server and email them all in 1280 x 720 HD yes it's a 1 megapixel cam which is the low end of HD but it's HD none the less.The only drawbacks that I've found is the low light image quality, it's far better than the old analog cams that I had in the past but I've yet to find the secret sauce that was used in the videos that I've seen on YouTube. My lighting conditions aren't pitch black in fact there is a fair amount of street and house lighting but I've obviously setup something wrong since I've not been able to match the quality they showcase in their videos. In the day time, it's another story, the images are super crisp and ultra high quality.On a recent UPS delivery the driver didn't deliver a package that was supposed to be there that day by 10:30am, at 5:30pm the tracking updates to say that delivery attempt was unsuccessful and would be attempted the next day. I went over the recordings and pics, found the driver had been to my house at about 11am was there for 20 seconds, never got out of his truck and left. I called UPS, emailed them the pics and a new driver was there the next day with my package, I guess it was hard to argue with the time/date stamps and the license plate of his truck on my cams!

Good build but terrible firmware
By Scuber
The IP8262 is physically a well built IP camera, but that is where it ends. There is a focus assist which is meant to help you get the focus as precise as possible. The problem with the focus is that the slightest movement of the adjustment will through it way out of focus. It needs to have a much finer adjustment. I have played with it for 3 days now and have given up getting a nice sharp picture. I have a 2Mp web-cam that I paid $79 for that has a much better picture than this camera. The web-cam even does better in low light than this camera - regardless if the IR is on or off.The next problem is with the firmware. It is very fluky dependent on the make and version of the browser you use. Some of the configuration pages will work with Firefox and not IE and other pages in the configuration are just the opposite. As an example, Firefox will let you drag and drop to adjust the window size for setting up motion triggers but IE will not work unless its an older version. One browser won't let you adjust the maximum Mb size of a video capture (your limited to just over 8Mb per video) but Firefox will work.Although I can get around most of the aggravation with the configuration program, there is one glaring problem that makes this camera just not worth getting. Unless someone can prove me wrong, when you set up the camera to trigger on motion. You can only capture 7 pre-event frames the actual event image and up to 7 post-event images. That is a total of 15 seconds of snapshot images. The problem is that you can not get the camera to continue capturing snapshots immediately after the previous motion trigger. No matter what I do, I end up with about 12 seconds of missing action. I can't imagine why someone would want to get 7 pre-event images - they usually don't have anything significant in them. So what you end up with is 7 images covering 7 seconds and then you have to wait another 10-12 seconds before it does it's next set of images. By then you've lost perp - he's already in the house! If you have this camera please prove me wrong. 18-20 seconds is a long time when someone is coming across your patio and breaking into a window. You may get a couple images and the rest would most likely be be entirely missed. It isn't quite as bad with video. I haven't tested a bunch yet but I think there are only 12 seconds missing between video captures. You can only capture 20 seconds of video with the camera software. Even if you are saving the data onto a NAS, the trigger will only allow you to save 20 seconds at a whack and that just isn't enough. Try capturing a series of images and videos with the timestamp on them and see how much time is MISSING.So if you are buying this for onboard video / snapshot capturing ability or the ability to send data directly to a NAS from the camera, I'd say continue looking. There are much better cameras out there that produce a much better image and give you the ability to capture more frames and longer videos than this one does. If you don't care about this functionality, then give it a try. Good luck getting a nice clear image from this thing....

Flaky software
By C. Quarles
Camera image is pretty good, construction is high quality, and POE works well. But the motion detection software, when connecting directly through a browser, has some issues. The window sizing is buggy- where you think you are putting the motion detection window doesn't match with where it is placed in actuality. The sensitivity for motion detection is poorly explained in the manual and online support; I've spent hour trying to calibrate the camera's motion detection at night and during the day. I am contacting Vivotek's customer support to see what the issue is, so expect to see an update from me afterwards. I've had the camera installed for a little over a month. The product got great reviews, so I am surprised by my experience. There are also few useful articles on the web that can help owners with troubleshooting, FYI.
