    Camera Installation Design Software???

    There are some shareware programs I found but as with it all, restrictions till you buy. If you are familiar with CAD, there are a few good free ones that produce .dxf files. I settled on LibreCAD free and open source. Relearning CAD after many years. With dxf format, many symbol libraries...

    Motion lights for I of DORI

    Got it. That's what I thought. So even low light like some of the solar spots could give enough light to help the night vision and not cause whiteout. I have a garden that I'm trying to do. What if lights came on before camera motion is activated. That can be done easily.

    Motion lights for I of DORI

    Can motion lights lights help at night or would they blind the ir. My cameras https://www.cctvsecuritypros.com/content/pdfs/CSP-IPB3.pdf Thought if camera on motion starts and then 2 seconds later light comes on. I know on lights it's distance and sensitivity. Also have this on NVR.

    Been doing a lot of research about this system and if you look at the pdf in #20, shows PTZ specs. Looking at the actual camera, for the life of me can't see how. Is it a software/digital thing?

    Builder Legally Cancels Home Sale Six Days Before Closing : Steve Lehto

    Dating back to the 70s, there is a fed regulation that not only must a "buyer" be given a copy of contract, it is required that the contract be explained in simple language to the "buyer" so they understand. The reg came about from the many lending companies at the time. Many non English...

    Found the pdf for this camera. Yes it is a 3MP. https://www.cctvsecuritypros.com/content/pdfs/CSP-IPB3.pdf Once I get things setup, may sell a couple of the cams and go with your recommendation since there is 1 zone that is low to no light. For my needs, could get away with 6 or possibly 4...

    I did some looking and closer to Uniview maybe. IR distance for recognize is 164 ft. Furthest for me is about 50 ft. With SmartPSS can set zone distance for alarms. Still have to setup NVR to see what's there. System was purchased in mid 2018.

    Does anyone have an idea from the model what these cams can do? Thinking regular color during daytime, crap IR at night, and maybe some audio pickup.

    Blocking IP camera from internet - via MAC or IP address?

    If you run through a router, it is simple on most. There is a section on newer ones to block/restrict MAC addresses at will. May be in Advanced settings area. I have a Motorola and can block what I choose on IP or Mac address.

    Is Food under Threat?

    Reality is this as the world proceeds. Plant a Victory garden. Will it satisfy all your needs? Maybe not but it's a help. Learn to fish. Try hunting with safety of course. See what farmers are processing their own cattle, chickens, or hogs. TONS of ways to eat. To many rely on the...

    mat200, we have been considering a system for a while. Since this seems to be a somewhat pro system, that's why I'm going for it. Wife won't like my final bid maybe, but to good to let slip by.

    mat200, I have the specs on the NVR, just waiting to find out the cameras. Should know by tomorrow. As I said, this is a local auction and I trust the company that all is new. For the price I've seen for a new system, I feel my offer is reasonable for a good starter unit. Already have...
