did you buy the cam from that particular seller in your aliexpress link?
how was the motion detection and email notification works with hikvision cameras?
Can it send snapshots and video clips with the email notification as well?And is there any conventional power adapter to be used or must it use the PoE power only?
How far is your shed from the house and have you decided how you will run the cables?
will go wifi to one shed and cable(Cat5e) to the other shed
Go cables to both sheds if you can mate.
As for the cameras themselves if you're in WA I don't mind using my account to pick some up for you at the WA distributor?
I am in vic :(
What prices can you get?
I have two of these hooked up front/back of my house. I have the 2032 model seen here: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/DS-2CD2032-I-Hikvisi…
I bought via Aliexpress as that was by far and away the cheapest way to get them for me, and the cameras have been excellent. Image quality by day is actually quite stunning, far superior to most cameras you will find in JB. Not vision isn't fantastic, but nothing really has particularly good night vision anyway. It's better than nothing though. Initially they had a primitive motion detection based on changes to the image which prompted them to send me loads of false alarms, but later firmware updates now include line crossing and intrusion detection (ie. did someone/something move into a designated region) which eliminates most false positive except for car lights driving past at night. How much of an issue the latter is depends on what type of street you live on though.
You can do all the usual stuff such as email images of movement, and I have mine sending recorded motion footage to a synology NAS. All works really well. You can remotely monitor via an app on your smartphone or web interface on the cameras as well.
