    Mounting Hik DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3 sideways against fence?

    Could also just screw a couple of small sheet metal screws into the fence bars.

    Mounting Hik DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3 sideways against fence?

    You could get a sheet of aluminum, carefully cut a circle to size with an angle grinder or tin snips, and attach to the fence with pipe hangers or hardware tape. Flat head machine screws on the camera side will keep it flush, and nylock nuts will keep it tight. Paint it to match the fence...

    PC hardware for Blue Iris with lower noise

    I have a bunch of HPs, and with them it depends on the HDD. Some are crunchier than others, but otherwise they're silent. I have one running 24/7 in the bedroom. You'd never know it was there. We recently had a long discussion of how to load W11 on older machines. If you can't find it...

    My hp elitedesk g3 is silent, and it runs W11 just fine. Don't assume your present box won't run W11 just because Big Brother tells you so.

    Criminal spy camera inside Logitech mouse

    Now I want to build one. You used to be able to get spy cameras built into key fobs on ebay. I bet one of those would fit.

    Empiretech software?

    For viewing cameras in my house, I use an Ubuntu app called cctv-viewer. There are others like it, including VLC, and a raspberry pi viewer I've seen here, but the name escapes me. These won't do you much good for viewing outside your house unless you setup a vpn with a remote desktop app...

    Empiretech software?

    Once you get into the camera's settings, you should be able to set a new static ip address.

    Blue Iris OS Options

    We should have a little contest to find the oldest system capable of running W11. This guy says he runs it on a late XP era machine: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/10/what-i-learned-from-3-years-of-running-windows-11-on-unsupported-pcs/ I have a 2012 mac mini (now running lubuntu very...

    Empiretech software?

    I wrote up my experience learning to set up in-camera motion detection. It may save you some time figuring it out. https://ipcamtalk.com/search/6996092/?q=Lessons+learned+setting+Up+IVS+%28June+2023%29&o=date

    Blue Iris OS Options

    To be fair, the guy in the vid was using a firewall-less setup typical of the time when WinXP was current. With a firewall blocking unsolicited entry into your system, the threat level is much lower. Still, it shows the attackers are relentlessly looking for a way into your system.

    Blue Iris OS Options

    I dimly recall reading something about the tpm chip giving them some control or access to your computer. The upshot was that it was about security for MS, not the computer owner. I don't know if that was just wild talk, but it made me wary enough to install the non-tpm version of W11 even on...
