    Wifi Outdoor Solar Powered Optical Zoom Motion Camera quest

    What is PLA? I tried a trail cam solution, but the motion detection wasn't sensitive enough to pick up people more than 20 feet away.

    If had constant power, this thread wouldn't exist. :)

    Wifi Outdoor Solar Powered Optical Zoom Motion Camera quest

    Thanks for quoting me the most expensive EmpireTech camera listed on Amazon. Unfortunately it's out of stock, and doesn't appear to be solar powered. :) I realize that my existing wifi isn't going to make it 600 feet, but that's an easy problem to solve. Finding a camera solution is why I came...

    Wifi Outdoor Solar Powered Optical Zoom Motion Camera quest

    Thanks for all of that wittaj. I had seen your replies to other threads here, and read through much of that material. Not finding what I was after, I started a new thread. If wifi is the deal killer, then 4GLTE it is. I'm not morally opposed to it, but didn't feel like I needed it. I don't even...

    Dahua / Loryta passwords question

    Just tested it again, and yes, I can paste the password into the box for logging in. (not sure why I had trouble before) I cannot paste a password into the boxes on the Setup/System/Account/Modify menu page.

    Dahua / Loryta passwords question

    Hmm, Firefox is my primary browser, and I could not copy/paste into the password fields. Couldn't do it with Chrome either.

    Dahua / Loryta passwords question

    New to the Dahua eco-system, but a long time user of Hikvision cameras. Recently bought a couple of Loryta IPC-E3541F-AS-M 2.8mm cameras, and have 2 questions about passwords. 1) I am not able to paste a password into the login password field. Is this normal for Dahua / Loryta? I use fairly...

    Suggestions needed for small IP cams like the Hikvision Mini Domes

    Now sitting on a small pile (5 I think) of these DS-2CD25x2 Mini Dome cameras from Hikvision with IR Cut Filter issues. Anyone have any use for these? I'm guessing that if you either: a) only use them in a dark environment or b) remove the IR Cut Filter and only use them in a light environment...

    IPC-E3541F-AS-M SMD 3.0 IPC-HX5(4)(3)XXX-Leo_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.800.0000000.29.R.210630.zip

    Picked up a IPC-E3541F-AS-M to replace a failed Hikvision of similar size. Got to playing with it today, and so far I'm pretty happy. First question: Where in the software interface can I find the model number? I expected it to be in the Information>Version screen, but it's not there. Thanks.

    Are EmpireTech/Loryta cameras supported by Synology's Surveillance Station?

    Suggestions for small overhead cameras

    pozzello: Thanks for some interesting suggestions! Hikvision supposedly has 3 year warranty on their cameras, and several of these have failed within that time period. I took one apart, and then contacted Hikvision for repair parts, but got nowhere. (they won't warranty because of where I...

    Suggestions for small overhead cameras

    Now that I can move on from that odd looking shadow effect in looney2ns' nighttime video, how about a few new questions. Is there any reason to avoid the Dahua mini-wedge? Has anyone done a tear-down of one of these cameras? If so, can you point me to it? I'd like to see what the IR Cut Filter...

    Suggestions for small overhead cameras

    I watched it again a couple of times, I think you are right, just a shadow from some other light source. Whew - that was a head scratcher, and had me turned off from this line of cameras.
