anthonyuk Posted August 20, 2014 #4 Posted August 20, 2014 CCTV board for IP cams?? Surveillance station supports a lot of cams so as long as yours are on the list you'll be fine. Oh and you'll need a license to use more than two cams

Using IE I am able to access the camera and it's on the same network

The OP posted in the heading 'CCTV' but mentions in the post he will be using IP cams This is probably what led to your confusion.

You need to do a checking with ONVIF website whether the manufacturer has submit their products for approval. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

bottman Posted August 28, 2014 #10 Posted August 28, 2014 I've found the most challenging part of using these cheap IP Cameras is what port they are using for ONVIF communication. Once you locate the port and configure Surveillance Station to use that port they should work. You may have to ask the seller if they know what port your camera is using. The six I have at my house are all using standard RTSP & RTP Ports but I found them using port 8899 for ONVIF. I have seen 8090 used on some cameras too.
bottman Posted August 28, 2014 #11 Posted August 28, 2014 Surveillance Station but you'll probably need a CCTV board and drivers for it If you're bringing in existing Analog / CCTV Cameras into surveillance station I would go the route of an encoder. It would appear all of the Axis Encoders (Video Servers) are supported by the Surveillance Station.
b21playa Posted August 28, 2014 Author #12 Posted August 28, 2014 I decided to send the camera back and buy some hikvision ones instead
BrianAz Posted August 30, 2014 #13 Posted August 30, 2014 I use this http://blueirissoftware.com/. It runs on a Windows VM and uses my DS414 for storage via iSCSI. Once I get comfortable with XPEnology, I intend to migrate the iSCSI to it for my cameras.
bottman Posted August 30, 2014 #14 Posted August 30, 2014 Funny... I recently migrated from Blueiris. Had used it for years. Loved some things... hated other things. The motion detect was always buggy to me and I got sick of running a dedicated box with a quad core @ 45-60% CPU usage when running a mere 6fps/camera. Consolidated by moving my 6 IP Cameras (5@720 & 1@1080) to synology. Then moved the 2x2TB HDD's over too. Only saw a 2% CPU load increase on Synology during live stream... Haven't looked back... Anyone want to buy a BlueIris License?! Kidding... I'll sell it to a Winders Friend. Best move by Synology... increasing default license count from 1 to 2. It gave me a chance to really test the unit and make purchases accordingly.
BrianAz Posted August 30, 2014 #15 Posted August 30, 2014 Hmmm.. I had read some less than stellar reviews of Synology's Surveillance Station long ago. Sounds like I'll have to give it a try.

I am not surprise at all, because Blueiris is a very CPU hogging CCTV software. Unless Blueiris supports multi-streaming. Meaning when do live viewing, the live viewing resolution is keep at minimum (smaller viewing boxes), in order to save CPU resources.
andyd358 Posted September 4, 2014 #17 Posted September 4, 2014 Tried Blue Iris but didnt like it far too clunky ended up using iCatcher on a windows VM. Worked great only reason i didnt move to SS for a while is I was using a Webcam as a camera and iCatcher supported this. Now moved to SS and using it with 4 IP cams. Works great.
