    Sell Custom Lengths of Cat 6?

    Get yourself some of those newfangled feed-through RJ-45 connectors and corresponding crimping tool and even your granny could do it for you. I don't use those myself of course 'cause I'm hardcore ;)

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    Don't remember reading that but in any case I'll be damned if I would ever allow a cloud-connected IoT device to open my front door. Not gonna happen.

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    This has all been discussed previously in this thread. The doorbell is not 802.3af compatible, it uses passive PoE. In principle if you connect it to a 802.3af switch it should not get any power at all as it won't get through the negotiation phase. Feeding it with 48V is likely to damage the...

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    Awesome, thank you for taking the time to share so much detail. Eagerly awaiting the time when days will have 25 hours in them so I can try this out for myself. :)

    Need advice on a wireless cam system

    You could try these: https://inferno.se/infernoprosecurity/sound-barriers/ although I find them pretty expensive for what they are. Some cheap piezo tweeters also make incredibly nasty noises that seem to resonate with your eardrums. Not enough to cause instant ear-damage but pretty unbearable.

    Need advice on a wireless cam system

    I was going to suggest just laying loose cable but if that's too unsightly you could perhaps try this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-line_communication I've used this myself in the past (not for connecting cameras, just for desktop PCs) with pretty good results. probably works a bit...

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    Would it be possible to do a patch to enable shell access through Ethernet? That way you can mess about with the thing without having to have the serial interface connected all the time. I'm also wondering if re-compiling the decompiled code is going to result in a functioning binary. On x86...

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    Awesome, thanks for all the detail. Gonna have to try that sometime. Something else I and I'm sure others would be interested in would be to be able to reliably detect a doorbell press just by listening to the network traffic coming from the doorbell. If you find a way to make that happen...

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    You were able to patch the firmware? Does the patch persist or do you need to re-patch after power cycling? There are several here (including me) who are annoyed by the slow frame rate so more details on how you did this exactly so that it can be reproduced by others would be greatly appreciated.

    WD Purple Questions

    You're missing the point. You need to distinguish between component failure of a (sub) system (and a hard drive is a component of the overall system, just like a webcam is) versus system failure. In a 2 drive RAID 0 configuration, failure of a single drive cause the whole system to fail and...

    WD Purple Questions

    More components is more points of failure. So a system with two (identical) drives has a 2x greater risk of drive failure than a system with just one (unless this is setup in a redundant manner, eg RAID 1). With two separate drives you wouldn't have total data loss though but chances of losing...

    Looking for USA made 4k turret cameras w/colored night vision

    Regardless of whether that's true or not, I simply distrust any camera or IoT device on basic principle. Just keep them isolated from the rest of your network (physically or through VLAN), keep them from connecting to the Internet and only allow your NVR/surveillance software (such as Blue Iris)...

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    Look through previous posts, a working one has already been found (might even be two different ones that have been confirmed to work but can't remember for sure). That post includes information on what DIP switch settings to use for that particular receiver.

    Check previous posts in this topic several pages back for multiple suggestions, including using a general purpose 433Mhz receiver to detect pressing of the doorbell. You could then use that to trigger taking a picture through the onvif interface and sending that by email. Haven't had time to...

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    Is there an actual line of sight between doorbell and chimes, ie. can you actually see one from where the other is located? Just want to make sure because 17m with any walls (an certainly floors!) in between would probably be too much for the signal to get through, especially if they're...

    Ubiquiti UniFi 24 port PoE+ 250W switch for sale (Netherlands)

    I have a Ubiquiti UniFi 24 port PoE 250W switch for sale here in the Netherlands. Cost EUR 400 when I bought it brand new in October of 2019. It's in perfect working condition, the only reason I'm selling is that its fans make way too much noise for where it's currently located (not very far...

    POE ONVIF compatible doorbell with WiFi/poe chimes

    The lens of the YooSee doorbell is simply optically out of focus which can be easily fixed as has been discussed here before. You will need to open up the device, loosen the screw that fixates the focussing and then focus it properly. The difference will be night and day in terms of quality...

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    You're not using the phones in 'speaker' or 'hands free' mode? Actually you're not making a phone call but using the app so I guess it might very well be in speaker mode. It's easy to get audio feedback that way. Try lowering the volume of your phone or perhaps you can adjust the sensitivity of...

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    No experience whatsoever with the audio part of this thing but that sounds like a feedback loop. What are you using to talk/listen at the other end and is audio there coming out of speakers or a headphone/earpiece?

    Playback tab in Dahua web interface not showing any clips

    Problem solved. When I put in the SD card I disconnected the camera and as a result the date and time were reset to Jan 1 2000. Since I don't have it setup to sync to an NTP (yet) the clips it was recording had that same date. I also didn't realize that the list in Playback only shows clips...

    Playback tab in Dahua web interface not showing any clips

    I did actually, as far as I can tell that's mainly a more sophisticated way of searching and filtering for clips. It doesn't show any clips either. Attached is a screenshot. In the mean time the Used Capacity has gone up to 1230M so something is getting written to that card. Thank for the...

    Playback tab in Dahua web interface not showing any clips

    Hi, I had these micro SD cards still lying around and finally had the time to put them into my cameras. First (and only) camera I tried it with is a IPC-HDW5231R-ZE . Inserted the card and setup the camera to do continuous recording. At least that's what I thought. However I don't see any clips...

    Running multiple CAT6 cables - many spools at once? How to manage spool lengths efficiently

    You could measure the weight. Current weight/initial weight = roughly percentage left. If you know the weight of an empty spool you can get an even more accurate estimate.

    Interesting video on Stopping Package theft

    I've always found this baffling. The whole idea of leaving packages on the doorstep seems absurd to me, except perhaps in rural areas. Package theft is near zero here in the Netherlands as leaving package on the porch/doorstep unguarded basically just doesn't happen in the Netherlands and never...

    I've experienced that too, sometimes it wouldn't find it and other times it would. Try rebooting your PC and make sure IPCTestTool is the first program you run. Try connecting it to the same switch your PC is connected to if that's not already the case.
