    Snapshot URL without credentials box appearing

    Late to the party but JIC anyone is trying to access this camera's snapshot URL () programmatically, (using a programing language or script) - you have to use "HTTP Digest Auth" (not "Basic Auth"). The browser usually will figure this out auto-magically for you, but in code, something like this...

    WD ReadyView Cameras / NVR

    I wish there was more reviews of these WD NVR bundles... especially regarding the firmware they use. I might bite in a few weeks to get my dad a simple PoE system. We'll see...

    A lot of condensation on Laview LV-PB3040W bullet cam

    Yeah the camera seemed 100% well put together, and the screws seemed quite tight when I opened the whole housing up. So it beats me... There was a single desiccant pack in there, clear plastic baggie with yellow/orange granules... and speaking of which, does one have to replace those desiccant...

    A lot of condensation on Laview LV-PB3040W bullet cam

    So recently after a couple rainy fall days I saw some excessive moisture/condensation in my LV-PB3040W (2MP) cam. If I understand correctly, these are rebranded hikvisions, though I'm not sure which hikvision model exactly. I had noticed some ("normal") temporary condensation before, during...

    Tinycam and Laview (hikvision) NVR

    So I managed to sorta connect with the android Tinycam app thru my (LV-N9808C8E) NVR to my IP cams by using the ports that the NVR exposes. Granted I'm just using the "Snapshot" protocol, but it's a start... haven't had time to tinker to a deeper extend. For example, my NVR is at 192.168.2.2...

    IP Surveillance Software with decent people recognition

    Rats crawling up and down walls aren't unheard of in warehouses... they are pretty damn capable...lol funny you should mention a costume... I figure it'd try a youtube search for the episode and found it! And they did try a chicken-like costume to try to fool the sensor! But it seems that...

    IP Surveillance Software with decent people recognition

    I don't have a lot of experience with PIRs used conjunction with camera systems... but I'm curious how easy something other than "people" still trigger even a well mounted PIR? Like a large rat or insect radiating enough IR or close enough to the sensor? This question also makes me remember a...

    IP Surveillance Software with decent people recognition

    If what you mean by "people recognition" is facial recognition or anything further than just basic motion/object detection, then you're gonna be paying a lot of money... and I mean a lot, unless you have the computer science skills to create a machine learning openCV system that can learn to...

    Cat6 - Here is why not - Change my mind

    I went with Cat 6 for my DIY install, price difference between Cat5e was neglible and I actually kinda learned to like the annoying little plastic separator thing that gives Cat6 more rigidity and reduces signal crosstalk. I have a cable run that I had to pull up 3 stories (+2 fire blocks) from...

    What are these cable/RJ45 cover things called and where can I buy more?

    Huh... interesting, I never would have thought of using that duct seal stuff for this application... cool, thanks!

    What are these cable/RJ45 cover things called and where can I buy more?

    I do have a drip loop, but the cable gland is still kinda ends up in a vertical position, so I'm still not sure what the best practice is on their positioning.

    What are these cable/RJ45 cover things called and where can I buy more?

    Anyone know if these cable glands can be placed in any direction, (i.e vertical vs horizontal)? I've got one vertically coming down a corner of my house and I'm afraid eventually it'll get water inside thru the compression ring and corrode the cameras pigtail. I guess I'll apply some...

    Cable condoms to prevent/catch unwanted... data packets? lol

    What are these cable/RJ45 cover things called and where can I buy more?

    Finally! Thanks guys... Wow ok, so further google-fu based on your links points to "cable glands" as the technical name(?) yeah... I would have NEVER guessed that lol "glands" produce hormones/secretions... not keep water out, that's what seals and gaskets do! :) Learn something new everyday I...

    What are these cable/RJ45 cover things called and where can I buy more?

    Hi guys, Hoping you guys can help me find some answers. I've searched quite a few websites but still can't find a definitive answer. My LaView cameras came with these sort of ethernet cable connector cover... thing. I am not actually 100% sure what they are called... which is why I can't seem...
