    Acusense 2.0 and ColorVu 2.0

    Now that the G2's are out, I'd like to see how they stack up against the Dahua IPC-B5442T-ASE-NI (on Dahua's website they are listed as IPC-HFW5442T-ASE-NI and IPC-HDBW5442R-ASE-NI) I'm also curious to see how this 4mp 2347 G2 with a 1/1.8 sensor does in comparison with the 8mp 2087 G2 with its...

    Review: OEM IPC-B5442T-ASE-NI 4MP Pro AI Starlight Full-color Fixed Bullet

    They have a dome out, but no turret so far that I've seen. IPC-HDBW5442R-ASE-NI

    Review: OEM IPC-B5442T-ASE-NI 4MP Pro AI Starlight Full-color Fixed Bullet

    Yeah, I saw that. It still has the CMOS 1/1.8, but an aperture of F1.6. I'm still holding out for a turret version of the ASE-NI with F1.0

    I wonder when Dahua is going to release a turret version of this camera?

    Trigger camera to record based on Smartthings motion sensor?

    Which smartthings sensors are you using? I'd like to give this a try, too.

    Hikvision ColorVU Review

    I believe I read somewhere that the G2's are coming out in Q4 this year. I'm quite interested to see how they stack up against the Dahua full color cameras, similar to the one that Bigredfish reviewed recently.

    Hey @EMPIRETECANDY, any idea when a turret version might be available?

    It's OK to install camera at low heights (2m/6.5ft) in fenced patio?

    Hey @SouthernYankee, do you remember who made that? I'd like to see a few pictures of it. That's a very interesting idea.

    Can't connect with the BI app

    Thanks y'all. I got it figured out. Yep, the issue was Blue Iris wasn't allowed through the Windows Firewall. It's listed twice in there (for some reason), and only one had a check mark next to it. Once I put the check mark in both, everything worked perfectly.

    Can't connect with the BI app

    Hey y'all. I need some help with setting up the BI app. I have a Galaxy S10 (if it mattters), and I've set up OpenVPN on my ASUS router. My phone and the router both show that the VPN is connected. In the app, I've gone into the edit page, entered in the license info, clicked "Get IPS" which...

    Blink XT alternative with POE, any suggestions?

    @SouthernYankee Thanks for this. This is essentially what I've been wanting to do. I have an old 1800's home and I've been trying to figure out how to keep the aesthetic of the old facade while incorporating a camera at the door. These newer doorbell cameras just look too modern for a...

    BI app needs to port forward?

    Thanks everyone. I ended up buying a used ASUS RT-AC66U. Getting everything going has been slow due to...life (aka: toddlers) Ha! Right now I need to figure out how to place the Arris TG1682G in passthru/bypass/bridge mode. Edit: nevermind, found it...

    BI app needs to port forward?

    Thanks @fenderman, but I think that one may be a bit out of my price range, at the moment. Going to have to go a bit cheaper, as there are a couple other things I need to spend a few dollars on first. Namely, a good UPS and a few more cameras. Too many brown-outs here. It may be something to...

    BI app needs to port forward?

    Thanks for the clarification. Much appreciated. It looks like I'll have to purchase another router. Any recommendations that won't break the bank? edit: OR should I purchase my own modem/router combo to use instead of my ISP's?

    Gotcha. Thanks.

    BI app needs to port forward?

    I've read through it. The confusing part is that it says to never forward ports, while the BI app contradicts it and says it requires it. I have an Arris TG1682G modem/router that is supplied by my ISP. It doesn't have a built-in VPN. From what I've read, it looks like I'll either have to...

    BI app needs to port forward?

    I'm trying to set up the Blue Iris app on my Samsung S10. The wiki says to never port forward, but the BI app says it requires it. What's the proper way to set this up?

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Ahhh I see. So, you can buy a camera with one set of features, then install another company's FW and essentially unlock all these other features that you didn't have originally? I like it!

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Forgive the stupid question here, but why are you all changing from one company's firmware to another's?

    @Ssayer oohhhhh,neat! I couldn't figure it out. My mind was stuck on cameras and tech, that I thought it was some kind of antenna array or something lol.

    Powerline adapter with POE?

    Does anyone have any suggestions on a good powerline adapter with POE onboard? I have a detached garage (about 100ft away) that I'm going to mount a camera to, and I would really rather not have to run a cable out to it. Thanks. EDIT: Or is a powerline adapter with a pass-thru really my...

    AXIS A8105-E

    Certification....yeah I get that. I also see them purchasing things for exorbitant price tags....such as a toilet lid for $10,000. Baaahahaha! Yeah, probably so. I'm not too proud to say that I probably fall into that category a bit as well...lol. I'm still learning. Though, I can't see...

    AXIS A8105-E

    I never said they needed schooling in their profession. I just see a lost opportunity to expand. If their company has no wish to do that, that's on them. Soooo, why are people/corporations/government agencies/etc. willing to spend $1000 when they could be spending less? What is the point...

    AXIS A8105-E

    Maaaan, I wish I had the resources for something like that. Too many times have I seen a need for a certain product and wished I knew how to go about getting it made. Eventually someone does, and then ends up making a killing on it. Ultimately, I don't see much of a difference between and...

    AXIS A8105-E

    They wouldn't have to sell direct to end users. 3rd party companies could easily be involved. It's not like they are solely a military/gov't contract company. If that were the case, then I would get it. Like I said above, it's a missed business opportunity. So, now the question becomes...

    AXIS A8105-E

    IMO, it sounds like they are missing an opportunity.
