I've gone to using external IR on all my cameras because of this. It's even worse with snow. Why it's different with the Amcrest cameras is a head-scratcher for me. I've made a few sunshades out of cans. Some soup cans are the exact correct size for some of the Dahua turrets.

If the goal is to detect animals I'd disagree. With Dahua cameras you can't use IVS for detecting animals, and motion detection gives so many false alerts that the ones you want are lost in the noise. CPAI filters out some of the false alerts, but lets a lot of them through, often thinking...

At first glance this looks similar or identical to Andy's TPC124X-AI-S2, a little under $500.

California home insurer raises rates 15% to avoid leaving the state A big deal with a 15% increase in California? My rate in Oregon is up 40% from 2023. $870 4 years ago is now $2,251.

Same thing happened with some of the engineers back when I was working my high tech job. They often got promoted for fixing the emergency they caused in the first place.

You need to consider how much power the siren needs. With the models of cameras I pull 12 volts from, the practical limit is to pull about 4 watts, and less if you use the camera's IR lights. I turn the camera IR off, then power a 4-watt external illuminator from the camera's 12 volt supply...

Implodes the case??? From the other side of the coin.... George Conway: Hope Hicks’ Testimony Was a ‘Devastating Hammer Blow’ to Trump

If you're not a bot (nothing personal at all, it's just that bots often have a post count of 1), I can relate to your pain. I got mine going with CPAI a few months back, and it took a lot of fiddling. The two things that got me through were (1) Exactly following the CPAI installation...

The personal exemptions got eliminated when the standard deduction went up. For me it was still a net tax reduction. Maybe the reason that bidet wants the Trump changes to expire is the limit on SALT (state and local taxes) deductions, which caused a tax increase for some in high cost of...

Seven of many reasons why I use windows 7 and linux. https://www.zdnet.com/article/seven-ways-to-make-windows-11-less-annoying/ "Increasingly, Microsoft is treating Windows as a giant billboard where it can promote and cross-sell other products." "Adoption of Windows 11 will both provide better...

This is very close to my situation, although there are 2 pea-sized nodules in addition to what they're calling a "multitude" of others "sprinkled" across the brain. I'm feeling lucky having the cancer doctors that our non-establishment GP hooked me up with. The radiologist told me upfront that...

The top 2 things on my suspect list are: 1. Until 15 years ago I spent 30 years in a house with a high radon level. 2. Oregon wildfire smoke. For anybody who understands the medical jargon, the specific diagnosis is: Stage IV right upper lobe bronchogenic adenocarcinoma with nodal and brain...

So sorry about this. Just to state that not everything can be blamed on the jab, I've been recently diagnosed with lung cancer that has spread to the brain. No covid jabs, and no smoking history either. Nevertheless, I fully agree about the pharma-phucks crimes.
