    Blue Iris UI3

    Maybe a dumb question, but now that I have my first camera with audio, should audio work on Chrome? I get the volume control when I'm on that camera, but sliding the slider doesn't give any audio, and the speaker icon stays on mute. Clicking the speaker icon makes the volume slider go up and...

    NEW 1080P Wifi Video Doorbell!

    Good point about the supervisor(s) they may have spotted it :) I don't think there are wedges, but to be honest I haven't gone through the box completely yet.

    NEW 1080P Wifi Video Doorbell!

    Ok, done my install. Overall, I'm pretty impressed. OK the software is a bit lacking, but image quality is good, build quality is good, and so far working very well with Blue Iris. The lens is very wide. For my application, I'd love to be able to turn it sideways and have software rotate the...

    NEW 1080P Wifi Video Doorbell!

    Received mine yesterday, will install tonight. No wonder shipping to Canada is so outrageous, the box is about 3 times bigger than it needs to be.

    PoE "oooppppssss"

    I left a Hikvision 2032 bullet outside and failed to weatherproof the network connector. The connector wound up in some very wet snow conditions and the camera died. I replaced the corroded connector, but no go. Then powered it from 12v, and it works fine. I did crack it open and visually...

    Why do all Dahua camera IPs default to 192.168.1.XXX?

    Here's how I handle it, for any device that comes with a static address (cameras, printers, anything) Plug device into network. Configure my computer to have a static address of whatever my normal DHCP address is, say 192.168.0.101 Add a second IP address of 192.168.1.200 to my computer, then...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Wow, how did I miss this? Clicked on the recent posts view and saw it. Have been using UI2 for a long time. The other day at a friends place, I logged in forgetting to use /ui2.htm and got the BI interface. I thought WTF is this?? :) UI3 is looking great. Nice and responsive. Great job...

    NEW 1080P Wifi Video Doorbell!

    Obviously a firmware update can't change the physical problem of reflections, but maybe they've added some control over the IR LEDs. I bit the bullet and ordered last night. Will take over a week to get to Canuckistan.

    NEW 1080P Wifi Video Doorbell!

    From the other thread above, sounds like there are some shortcomings, but may be the best in the price range for now. Still on the fence here.

    NEW 1080P Wifi Video Doorbell!

    Thanks, I had missed that thread. Going to check my door when I get home, may still be too big for the location.

    AliExpress Dahua vs. Hikvision

    Depending on your application, from what I've read (don't have one yet) the Dahua "Starlight" line is quite superior for low-light performance to any of the Hikvisions. Someone with more experience will likely contribute in a while.

    AliExpress Dahua vs. Hikvision

    Can't help you with Control4, but I've been very happy with my Hiks (Am also planning a couple of Dahuas). There's been some debate about Chinese vs. U.S and updates, but I have 2 US, and 5 Chinese (not updateable without jumping through flaming hoops) Hikvision cams and I'm really not worried...

    Idiots with a fire extinguisher

    I'f you're already trespassing at a pool, and gonna discharge a fire extinguisher, surely you would try using it as a propulsion system in the pool. Also, that girl, after she threw her flipflops over the fence I was thinking, now she's committed.

    Tell us about your home automation!

    So since my last post, we replaced our dining room blinds with some Hunter Douglas power blinds. Added the PowerView hub and was able to add some programming to my Automation controller to control them. Also added an Amazon Echo, and can now voice control almost everything the automation system...

    New install - events missing 1st 5 seconds

    I thought I'd update (actually I thought I DID update, maybe it was in another thread...) I now have 2 Top-201s in service at work, and 3 at home. I may have read this in another thread, lot of stress lately has my memory playing tricks... I found turning OFF direct to disk recording solves...

    2 of my 3 POE cameras all fail at the same time.

    The big question is, why were your cameras able to access the Internet? Other than user PCs, nothing on my home network is allowed outside of my network.

    Is someone pointing a laser at my camera?

    Yeah, I've recorded hours of similar spiderweb activity. I try to remember to sweep the camera when I let the dogs out before bed. That gives me about 4 hours before the little 8-legged *****s start spinning again.

    1am Car Door Checker

    Wow thought you were my neighbor for a minute, but he never backs in, otherwise, looks like same driveway, and vehicle. I think most people would be amazed to see how often their vehicle doors get checked. I *still* need to get some of my cameras mounted in the driveway, not that we park outside...

    Plasti-dipping outdoor IP cams

    Interesting that everyone wants black. I have several Top-201 cameras that I need to blend in to white trim, and have been thinking about spraying them white.
