    Camera IR and Building/wall issue

    ^^^ Corridor mode worked well for me on a camera mounted on the side of my house. Houses are pretty close together on my street and I was having issues with IR reflection until I physically rotated the camera, as mentioned above.

    The 4R55E/5R55E series automatic transmission in the Ranger would occasionally snap the lug off of low/reverse band, causing it to still upshift normally, but lose reverse. I had a buddy at work who had a 98 Ranger. He put it in reverse immediately after starting it while the engine was cold and...

    Rat snake inspects my fiber modem Sunday night!

    Sounds like you have plenty of experience dealing with snakes!. Growing up in Houston and being close to Buffalo Bayou, I caught and brought home my share of snakes when I was a young teenager. My friend and I caught a corn snake one time, brought it home and put it in an aquarium at my friend's...

    Suggestion for camera in attic.

    Yes, I was having the same problem. First I installed a couple old fashioned Victor mouse traps, then I bought an Amcrest WiFi indoor camera, model # IP2M-841W-V3 which is PTZ. I put the mouse traps by the AC unit and focused the camera on that. It's been up in the hot attic for a couple months...

    I was watching that earlier today. Fascinating! I wonder how they managed to drop those memorial plaques from the submersible vessel?

    8MP camera with smart events and image rotation at the same time

    I have a IPC-T5442T-ZE turret on the side of my house placed in corridor mode that works well. It also has a microphone. But it's 4 MP, not 8 MP though..

    Home Window Tinting and UV Screens

    I was considering adding a solar powered attic fan to my roof, but am unsure if I would benefit from it. My home is one story, 3200 sq ft, with no gables. It was built in 2019 and has a radiant barrier on the roof decking, and also soffit and ridge vents. The house is already pretty energy...

    Well, that was no fun at all!

    Glad it wasn't any worse than it was. Hopefully you don't have a concussion. I've had my share of accidents and injuries working on cars for 40+ years. Things can change in a blink of an eye.

    Bunny rabbit running alongside my F-150 this morning.

    I've had some rabbits that decided to use my backyard to have their litter of baby rabbits recently. Unfortunately our two dogs didn't care for their yard being used for raising baby rabbits. First the mama rabbit was chased away by the dogs, which left the newborn rabbits without a mama. Then...

    Remote access to UI3 not working with IOS version 16.5

    I just tried what you suggested, but it still treats it like a search query on the iPhone. Works fine without the "http://" on the Dell laptop.

    Blue Iris computer poof in the middle of the night - any ideas what happened?

    Maybe a power supply issue? You could install a system stress test program and see if you can recreate the crash.

    Blue Iris computer poof in the middle of the night - any ideas what happened?

    It would help to post some info about your setup. CPU, Windows version, Blue Iris version, etc. I had a similar problem when I built a new PC for Blue Iris. I installed Windows 10 Pro and was having random shutdowns. After I updated it to Windows 11 I no longer had any issues. Not sure if it...

    Remote access to UI3 not working with IOS version 16.5

    I am using a dual NIC setup on my Blue Iris server running Windows 11 Pro. My Dell laptop running Windows 11 Home connects to the UI3 browser as expected on the local network at address 192.168.1.183:81.

    Most of the bot responses I've noticed are pretty easy to pick out. Their comments are very generic, and they just joined the forum in the last week or so.

    The official "WTF" thread

    I guess my dogs don't support the gay pride movement. They used to love Milk Bones, but ever since I bought them some Whimzees dog treats they turn their nose up at the Milk Bones. lol. I kind of wish they preferred the Milk Bones, they are much cheaper!
