    Securing home networks

    I know the consensus is to secure your network cameras. I'm a little curious if IP cams are more susceptible in some way than every other connected device we have in our homes. My house (as I'm sure many of you) is full of wifi connected, as well as hard wired devices. Everything from...

    Recording Failed

    I have a Samsung Galaxy TabS4 tablet with tinyCamPro 14.2.2. Camera is a Hikvision PTZ. When trying to record from the camera icon on live video feed of tinyCam, the icon turns red and a recording timer starts. After stopping the recording and trying to view it with the play button on the...

    Controlling when Hikvision DS-2DE4A425IW PTZ Camera runs its Pan / Tilt / Zoom Test

    I have this cam as well and aren't aware of any test. When it powers on and boots it performs a self test. Could it possibly be losing power at night for some reason?

    Small light "orbs" and motion detection

    Awesome post! wopi82 clearly explained a number of things difficult to grasp. (for me anyway) I'm sure I'll refer back to it. No bugs here now. Way too cold. I'm using a Hikvision DS-2DE4A425IW-DE. The effect is the same on another Dahua cam I have as well. Both were mounted below a deck...

    Mounting a DS-2DE4A425IW-DE

    Super clean look with the recessed bracket. Wish I had the option where mine is located.

    Small light "orbs" and motion detection

    What exactly are the small little objects floating around and visible by cameras at night? Doesn't matter what camera I'm using. I see what looks like dust particles or bugs moving past the camera. I've got motion detection set at 20 and it still triggers the recording. How do you deal with this?

    Can we all just take a minute and appreciate this man's talent?

    My arms were tired for him after 5 mins.

    Had a feeling that was the case. Thanks!

    Removing time/date from live view

    Is there any way to do this on a Hikvision camera? Searched the settings and I'm not seeing this option.

    Where is the reset button on a Hikvision DS-2DE4A425IW-DE PTZ Camera

    I just set up the same camera and looked for it as well. Couldn't find anything.

    Used PC or server for Blue Iris

    I've wondered this as well. Would seem a smaller drive would more than suffice.

    I'm good with that. Thanks again.

    Mounting a DS-2DE4A425IW-DE

    Thanks for your input! The wiring connections look water tight. There's a gap around the perimeter of the outer casing that will collect some degree of water/moisture. Not sure if that would drain and exit a safe location below. I haven't tried to open it up and see? I have some splicing...

    Mounting a DS-2DE4A425IW-DE

    The cam will be mounted below a wooden deck structure. Deck boards are spaced 5/4 decking. Water will drain through the boards and some of it will surely find its way into the area between the camera and the box. My assumption was to keep water out of the camera base area completely. Never...

    Mounting a DS-2DE4A425IW-DE

    Your box is buried in your soffit and pretty well protected. As I'm sure you noticed when mounting the cam, there is no seal whatsoever between the box and the base of the camera. It appears this is really for indoor/dry locations only. Where I plan on mounting the unit the junction between the...

    Mounting a DS-2DE4A425IW-DE

    Getting ready to mount the above ptz with a CB-DE4A junction box. Even though this seems to be the approved junction box, the cam doesn't fit it very well. Certainly won't be water tight without some sore of gasket or seal. Anyone mount one of these with this box? How did you get it waterproof?

    Losing video stream?

    Substream ran fine. Then went back to Main and so far, it seems stable. Not sure why but hopefully that fixed it. (fingers crossed) Thanks!

    Losing video stream?

    Good suggestions. Thanks. But didn't help. Tried both 2.4 and 5 GHz. No change. I have iDMSS on my wife's iPhone and it works perfectly if that helps.

    Losing video stream?

    Love this app. It's worked perfectly for a while. Then slowly I noticed the video stream began to freeze and then I lose it altogether. It comes and goes if you leave it alone. Audio is fine regardless of video. I'm using a Dahua DH-IPC-HFW2831T-ZAS connected directly to my router. No PC or NVR...

    Thanks. Not sure how to interpret some of the Update Helper data. How is the MP/s determined and what is console? Is Age how long ago the data was received?

    HP EliteDesk 800 G4 W10P-64 i7 8700 3.2GHz 512GB SSD 16GB DDR4 DVDRW 3xDP SFF

    So, for someone with say 8 4mp cams would there be any benefit to going with an i7 8700 over an i5 8500? Assuming the cams would be monitored during the day with 24/7 recording.

    Why is power consumption an issue?

    I've been reading threads regarding concerns about power consumption. Why is this such an issue? Is it long term cost? Heat?

    HP EliteDesk 800 G4 W10P-64 i7 8700 3.2GHz 512GB SSD 16GB DDR4 DVDRW 3xDP SFF

    Nice machine. I'm curious if there is a significant performance increase between the i5 8500 and the i7 8700. Is it worth the extra few hundred $?

    Rack mount power supply

    My plan is a 9u cabinet and it would be nice to keep things as compact as possible. What size UPS would be best for a SFF pc, switch, several alarm/wireless hubs, etc..

    Rack mount power supply

    Hmm..hadn't thought of a UPS/Power strip combined. I like the form factor of the Smart1500. Not such great reviews on Amazon though and it appears the batteries are not replaceable. I was looking for a strip with 8 (offset) rear outlets as I have several components with power blocks that take...
