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.

I recently bought some of those elbows. My guess is that they're a low volume part, with more per-piece overhead and less competition. A few years ago my Home Depot had them in stock. Now, they don't.

You should determine if you have a v1 or v2 5216-4ks2. I vaguely remember that some of the later firmware was only for v2. If you have the v4 user interface, it will display the hardware version of the NVR, v1 or v2. Also, if you have the v4 user interface, there's a good chance you'd gain...

Will it run 64 cameras on BI?

The only thing I can think of offhand is that with the newer cameras you don't need to open them up to get to the reset button. For a less helpful comment, I've been following this thread with some disbelief of what's happened to you. Over about 6 years I've brought up about 30 cameras without...

More like it needs to be exterminated. It has too much disease (RINOs) to recover.

Just another irrelevant thing the left throws against the wall to see if it will stick.

I take issue with this as a blanket statement. For some people, doing brain surgery isn't dumb. For me it would be :). For me opening the cameras and screwing around with the components was a calculated risk that has turned out beautifully. Definitely not to be blanket-recommended, but it's...

I see an opportunity for garbled terminology here. Config Tool does not see across different physical networks. It is able to access different subnets on the same physical network. Example for typical home network: Your network subnet is 192.168.100.xxx You can reach the camera at...

^^^^^^ I've often wondered how you change the smoke detector battery when they're at the very top of rooms like that.

It's not only having a .mp4 file, but a codec that understands what's in the .mp4 container. I can export .mp4 files, but my Windows version can't play them. It's possible to add codecs to windows if you find the right one. I need to save videos so seldom that I just convert from .dav to .mp4...

I could go down a similar rant with television commercials. We rarely watch anything without recording it first, but when I'm occasionally captured by a commercial I'm totally aghast at how stupid they are, and how they say little or nothing about the actual product. They're utterly offensive...

When I grow up I want to be a bot :)

I am unable to grasp the level of despicable of these libs. Lawsuit asks Wisconsin Supreme Court to strike down governor's 400-year veto It's a badly worded headline, and it takes a bit of effort to digest what Evers did. In short, he line-item vetoed individual characters in a sentence to...

I'll take a crack at this one. It means some marketing person thinks it sounds really good and might impress somebody. Information-wise, it's somewhat similar to the new toilet paper roll being 60% bigger, but we won't tell you bigger than what?

Amen to that! There are other things to consider beside the electrical specs, like physical space, ease of reconfiguration, how badly you hack up your house, where the wires can be run, and other similar but different details.
