    Imou camera alarm problem

    I understand your using p2p cloud connection. Double check the “Alarm Settings”. Both “Notifications” and “Detection” should be enable. Also confirm the “Detection ON” schedule is active, including the “General Activity Zone” (gray out by default)

    Amcrest 2MP Outdoor PTZ POE+ Alarm/Audio specs?

    Not sure about your specific camera model, but tested this weatherproof amplified mic/speaker on low level audio input/out signals, with good results. The current consumption is low, you may use the 12V camera power (or power extraction if needed)...

    Looking for info on this indoor cam ipc-hum4431s-l4

    The most critical part is getting the network cable + power connected to the camera, but that is available at every data terminal. If using a blank or coax wall plate, attach the metal camera body, using 3M double side tape. Give a little upward angle within the same tape. Remember to leave a...

    Looking for info on this indoor cam ipc-hum4431s-l4

    Running the cable through the ceiling should be no problem. I will prefer a wifi camera for those special spy monitoring/recordings. For an permanent/discrete installation, you may consider a network data outlet (if all ready available in your house/office). For wall mounting, the 18” (above...

    Looking for info on this indoor cam ipc-hum4431s-l4

    As per specs, the total power consumption is about 1.8W, or about 150mA. Theoretically, any 500mA power pack should be safe For those special hiding projects, you may consider the following power adapter (@12V): https://a.aliexpress.com/_mP6JYC0

    Wiring help

    If using a converter like Sebastiantombs mentioned, my personal experience with MiraBox (point-to-point or point-to-multiple converters) is acceptable. My only issues were related to replacing the 5V power supply. If connecting source-to-multiple, use a separate giga-switch...

    No Bathroom, No Problem

    Wow, blast from the past. Back in 1976, during our H.S. years, when a 6-pack beer cost $2.75. Those special moments with nature, Priceless!

    SOS: Missing Mount

    If using a junction box, instead of a wall mount, no need to tap/drill the base, since the PFA130-E have the same hole dimensions required by the mounting plate.

    SOS: Missing Mount

    Sharing my experience. Sh&@$ happens! Not a common issue, but in case you lose/break your Dahua/Imou mounting plate, this mod just saved my day. I cut/grind the top plastic notch on each hole (3), in order to level within the base surface (smooth). I widen the middle guided hole, in order to...

    Cabling: Tools rough draft #1. Opinions/Suggestions desired.

    For conduits, even pulling cables alone, this metal rollers attached to 2G/4G wall boxes, is a real helper (purchase several for mid-pulling cable boxes). You may align the cable boxes side-by-side, but having a rack dispenser is a must (better than using two ladders together)...

    Wyze V3 SpyCam Wall Mount Mod

    Yes, someone may plug an smart phone to the usb for charging. Those ports now include the ir diodes (repositioned, same included in the V3). I normally plug the outlet cam while staying a couple of days out of town. Wyze is not the best if considering the 5 minutes cool down period. But within a...

    How to power and connect an ethernet camera and give output to a TV. RCA cable?

    yes, maybe a photo of the dc connector, if detachable, could help. It looks like is only for power, since the a/v connector are within the box

    How to power and connect an ethernet camera and give output to a TV. RCA cable?

    as a proprietary device like yours, probably the only replaceable option could be the power supply. If you could use a multimeter, that’s the best way to test the power/connectors. You may still use a 12 volts light automotive tester. Even using a 12v auto bulb (center tab is positive, outside...

    IMOU CRUISER SE - is this dahua cam compatible with Blue Iris?

    I don’t have BI, but it should work as ONVIF. Not all Imou cameras allow for accessing the local web GUI. My Cruiser PT is one example. Even though is advertised to include AP, you may not connect to SSID DAP-xxxxx. Since those cameras includes ethernet port (not sure is that is your case)...

    BMW Subscriptions - Pushing Stupid

    Dahua DH-SD29204T-GN-W Quick mount bracket

    for this mini-ptz, all mounting options are through the PFA-103 mount (adding PFB for wall or ceiling), while able to cover the whole 360 field). The 133mm falls a little short/larger than most available junction boxes (not sure if that is what you are looking for). In my case, for some custom...

    RG6 VS Cat5e

    sorry for misunderstood, for hd-coax, normally the options are coax or cat5/6. But for upgrading to ip cam (from hd-coax), is easier (and cheaper) to use cat cable. Use pure copper cable, avoid copper clad aluminum

    RG6 VS Cat5e

    for hd-coax, besides handling as you mentioned, I prefer cat over coax, since it will allow for easy upgrade when needed for ip cams

    Access cameras through Chromecast TV

    As TonyR mentioned, I use my vlc app (ios in my case), to stream my dahua camera to my tv Chromecast. There is a 10s a/v delay. The url (dahua main stream) is: rtsp:/admin:password@10.1.1.152:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0
