    Home Depot Video Doorbell - SECUR360

    Nice crisp photo on that one. Yeah would like to see a video. Still digging the ring pro. Good enough for me.

    Ring Mailbox sensor

    Yeah. Even having to have the show announce the mail shouldn't have to be. I mean it's good to have actually. But this is also a work around because they force the mailbox sensor into a light group and...groups can't be shared so my wife can't get a notification on her phone too. So yeah, ring...

    New 2431- dreaded fog in the lens

    I get these dry packs in the coffee filter packs I get for keurig coffee machine. I always save them. I put one into the camera from my original post above. Since drying out and putting a dry pack in its been perfect. But I think the problem was caused by the outer shells not being screwed...

    Ring Mailbox sensor

    Mine opens up to the dashboard on ios phone / air 2 tablet. Two cool things I did today. I have my echo show announce when the mail comes so the wife knows too. Next I set a routine where my echo show says out loud, Alexa arm ring stay mode, and the the Alexa nearby hears it and arms the...

    What dash cam are you using?

    Grabbed the Viofo A129 duo + and really like it so far. Got it for 130 on black friday- nice deal. Got their cpl filter too- must have, much improved on windshield glare.

    Oh ok, cool. Thanks.

    Ring Mailbox sensor

    Still curious about your actual install. Pics of it would be cool. Are you sure you won't get motion at night? That has to be some recess up in that roof to fit the bulbus sensor, man. These things are designed to optimally work being attached to the door for sure. One other pain that I can see...

    Ring Mailbox sensor

    Do you have a pic of your mailbox? I don't get what you describe. Yes, aside from knowing you have mail it's for knowing when the box gets open at any time.

    Ring Mailbox sensor

    Yeah the bridge thing and forcing the MBS into a light group is weird. I have a feeling they will change that in the app though. I also have it linked to my doorbell so it records the whole event. Of course my real cameras get all that too. With the sensor being a rather large fat ass, the thing...

    Ring Mailbox sensor

    I don't think it can do that. It might be able to make a custom announcement on Alexa or echo though. Phone is plenty for me.

    Thrilled with my custom Dahua Setup!

    There's also a rapid ring app. It's supposed to be faster. I haven't tried it yet. The times I actually have needed to communicate through my doorbell have been zero thus far. Solicitation has dropped considerably as of late so the desire to even communicate that I'm not interested, as opposed...

    Ring Alarms discounted for Prime Day (2020 Oct 13)

    That's a sticker. The sensor itself is black. I just chose to pop the sticker on there.

    Ring Alarms discounted for Prime Day (2020 Oct 13)

    Yeah I think bad timing for you. I really like my ring stuff. Doorbell pro, alarm system and mailbox sensor. Today was the only day I've had an issue with doorbell live view and it turns out it was them, lol. I think you'll end up liking the system. Good luck.

    A mugging ... before and after

    Excellent! Nice catch. My cameras do catch street views but the street lights are really dim. You have to be realistic about color ability in the conditions you have. I can only do b&w but it's a good quality regardless.

    Ring Mailbox sensor

    I know right? It takes 3 AAA batteries so the size accommodates that. And yeah, a regular motion sensor doesn't cut it in a metal box. Signal can't get out. Tried it. Plastic maybe though. I put a room sensor in my glove box and it works but it's way closer to the base station.

    Dahua Cam is fogged up

    That's fog inside I believe. Dome cameras are very tough to solve with this once it develops. It's best to open on low humidity days. You might get lucky and it'll clear and stay cleared. If not you'll have to open it up and wipe down the dome. That kind of fog happening repeatedly will cause a...

    Have to use a bridge with this.

    Ring Mailbox sensor

    Ring owners, this new sensor is great so far. It seems like a retrofit from a regular ring motion sensor with a hookup for the antenna. Seems like a packaging rush job to get this thing shipping. Lacks paper instructions. Weird. But I have to say, this thing is awesome. It's 65' to my mailbox...

    REVIEW: SD6AL445XA-HNR-IR 4MP 45x Starlight IR AI PTZ

    Can that be operated from the ptz control or do you have to go into a menu? It's a cool feature and yet I've always wondered about the longevity of that. Like will the motor hold up. The wiper blade being in blazing sun. I know it wouldn't be used much at all but I wonder. Now if it could...

    REVIEW: SD6AL445XA-HNR-IR 4MP 45x Starlight IR AI PTZ

    Would you say 14' high is the minimum to consider? And also come on man, we need that cute wiper blade in action! Lol.

    Over decode ability

    Bring your mouse pointer to the top of any window and a pop up menu will appear. The last icon on the right is the stream rate. Click it to change streams. Yes, full screen will be main stream resolution. Like I said, I choose view 8 and choose which channel I want for the larger size. Not full...

    Over decode ability

    I have the same nvr and cameras all at highest resolutions and bit rate. I only get that when channels are populating when rebooting the nvr and it's momentary and then all channels populate with video. I always have the live view set to view eight channels, meaning one channel is larger and the...

    NVR vs Blue Iris

    Drives can and do fail sometimes. I'd sooner do 6/6tb than a single 120. That's a big expensive door stopper if the 120 fails at some point. I'm sure BI is superior to an nvr and it seems like there's integration with your smart home stuff which is what you wanted. But your initial post...

    ***PSA for those with a New DAHUA NVR with Built-in PoE switch

    Glad it worked out. Of course to be sure all is well you'll need to reboot the nvr...and hold your breath. You don't have to do it but it's really the only way you know for sure that it'll continue to work upon a reboot down the line. Or if you've had enough, let it ride for a while lol. I've...

    ***PSA for those with a New DAHUA NVR with Built-in PoE switch

    I'm lost in understanding what you're doing in the first place and what the problem is. It's a jumble of different cameras and nvr's you're talking about when I look back. What is the red triangle?? Where is that showing? Have you tried a hard reset of the camera with the reset button? UPNP has...

    The sounds of a homicide

    What are your settings currently? Do you have a floodlight on the garage? Looks like 1/30th. Try 1/120th. I do understand that your home and property take priority but you're awfully close to the street too and it could be worth getting the overall shutter/exposure balanced for all.

    Have you tried rebooting? Tried to search that time in the web gui for the nvr or in dmss?
