    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    Try reinstalling the UI2 - that has fixed it for me in the past. Sometimes an update overwrites something important and breaks the UI2.

    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    Wow that was great! Zoom in bug squashed for me. Works fine on my Galaxy S7e. Thanks!

    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    Does anyone else have trouble selecting individual cameras when viewing on chrome on android? I have a Samsung Galaxy S7edge, and when I try to tap a live view in the collage, it either doesn't work or selects one up and to the left of where I'm tapping. Any idea why? Otherwise it works fine...

    Cheap camera compatible with Blue Iris software

    My old ones weren't even 900TVL, they're plain old 525 line analog with a Cat5 balun, circa 2012. So this is a dramatic improvement for $35. - - - Updated - - - Aw man! How can my happiness be false? it's mine andyou can't have it! :)

    Cheap camera compatible with Blue Iris software

    As far as the 720 goes - it was almost accidental. I had a camera finally die (it would drop out and come back, I checked the cables, balun, power, all were switched, so I finally figured out it was the camera. I bought another analog camera to replace it, and saw the hosafe ip cam at the same...

    Cheap camera compatible with Blue Iris software

    You're right - i hadn't noticed! I drive a GM vechicle for the same reason I bought a hosafe camera - it makes economic sense. My vehicle weighs almost 6000 lbs, has a 6 liter v8 and gets a whopping 13mpg in town, maybe 16 on the interstate. But gas is $1.85/gal (I did the math - that's 0.37...

    I wonder what the record for "You're missing the point - no you're missing the point - no you're missing the point" thread is? I realize this is getting far afield - I would disagree and suggest you're missing the point of my post. I'll grant a few points: 1) Is hosafe a great brand? No 2)...

    Cheap camera compatible with Blue Iris software

    You're still missing the point. If I want to replace a camera on the deck and one on the driveway - that's really hard to do with a single $70 camera. I appreciate you suggesting better cameras, and I used those same brands to search when starting this project. I just couldn't afford them. I...

    Cheap camera compatible with Blue Iris software

    I would if I had the luxury. My criteria was: 1) I'm replacing some analog NTSC cameras from circa 2012. 2) I have no real budget for this project - I can spend probably $200. If I had $1000 that would be a different calculation 3) I can get two $35 ip cameras for one of your suggested...

    Cheap camera compatible with Blue Iris software

    You're certainly welcome! I'll stand by my recommendation for someone wanting a $35 camera that seems to perform reasonably. My criteria was: 1) I'm replacing some analog NTSC cameras from circa 2012. 2) I have no real budget for this project - I can spend probably $200. If I had $1000...

    Cheap camera compatible with Blue Iris software

    I bought this HOSAFE 720p camera from Amazon for $36, and have been extremely happy with the quality. Daytime colors are perfect, night IR is strong. I am so happy after a week - I just ordered two of the 2mp versions that can do 1080p. I'll install them this weekend. The only downside -...
