    Need Interior garage cam recommendation for Frigate/Home Assistant

    Agreed for the most part, but that camera is a 1/2.8 sensor where the 5442 is a 1/1.8. The night performance will be comparable, but I didn't realize he was looking for a PTZ, seemed like he was looking for a simple overview cam that will be able to trigger an HA automation

    Need Interior garage cam recommendation for Frigate/Home Assistant

    2.8mm gives a fairly wide field of view, you can use IPVM Calculator to verify https://calculator.ipvm.com/ The varifocal will give a slightly wider view when zoomed all the way out. If you're fine spending the extra money that is a good option because you can really dial in the field of view...

    Need Interior garage cam recommendation for Frigate/Home Assistant

    The 5442 will be great - https://www.amazon.com/Loryta-IPC-T5442TM-AS-Starlight-Eyeball-Network/dp/B07S47VXGY/ref=sr_1_7?m=A329YQ83EBQGJF&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&qid=1682271616&s=merchant-items&sr=1-7&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.f5122f16-c3e8-4386-bf32-63e904010ad0 You'll need a install HACS &...

    Recommended VLAN routers in 2023

    I love my PFSense machine but the learning curve is relatively steep and screwing around with a router and losing internet connection (and thus your link to all of the outside world's answers) is scary sometimes haha

    Need help replacing heart of existing system

    +1 to wittaj - I would also say that if you have a 'workable' level of technology know-how you will benefit from using Blue Iris/PC. Additionally, you'll be able to use most of us here as a resource to help you troubleshoot etc as most here run a Blue Iris/PC machine.

    SSD -> internal HD -> USB external HD?

    One other point - if you want to keep 2 months for specific cameras then I would run a rough calc and see how many cameras you should put on drive 1 so that that drive fits 2 months of footage, then point the remainder of the cameras to drive 2. Or something similar. There are several ways to...

    SSD -> internal HD -> USB external HD?

    Try here >> Anyone used a USB 3.0 connected external Drive for Video storage? For recording to 2 different drives you would set up your 'Aux 1' (or other folder) to record to your 2nd drive - then under recording settings for each camera that you want to record to the 2nd drive you would set to...

    SSD -> internal HD -> USB external HD?

    You should not be writing any footage to your SSD - the only thing that should be written to the SSD is your DB I'm assuming you're using USB 3.0? I think there is a thread floating around here (quite recently actually) discussing the use of an external USB drive. I would suggest you not move...

    Question about SD49425XB-HNR longevity outdoors

    Got it - @EMPIRETECANDY would be able to give you the quickest answer about whether SD49425XB-HNR can do 30 FPS at 1080, or is it limited to 25FPS - I won't get into my system for a few days to check

    Question about SD49425XB-HNR longevity outdoors

    Hey there - I have this camera and it is awesome - I can't recall if it bumps up to 30FPS at 2MP. Just out of curiosity, why are you trying to record at 30FPS?

    ipcamtalk Conversation Function

    I am on web browser - but the filter option I'm showing only exists when you are clicked into a particular forum (General Talk, Blue Iris, etc etc) - I'm not sure what page you're on to get that filter option

    Looking for assistance with IOT segregation on Unifi APs and EdgeRouter-X

    Agreed w/ @The Automation Guy I personally use PFSense paired w/ ubiquiti switches & access points. I will say that for the most part having a separate IoT VLAN is very easy, but there are some steps you need to take w/ your firewall & router to ensure that your IoT devices are still...

    ipcamtalk Conversation Function

    You can filter using 'first message' instead of last post which will accomplish what you're looking for - you may have to go DEEP to find active threads that were started a long time ago though - I think the current setup functions more like email where your 'newest' replies appear at the top of...

    Advice need

    Hi there - take a browse through this thread https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/point-to-point-wireless-bridge-recomendations.69257/ You'll likely use a point to point device to provide service to your kitchen cam which will then be wired to the point to point device (or switch).

    how to mount with metal chain doors?

    Underneath that overhang is perfect, as close as you can get to face level to Identify is where you want to be. If you're trying to just detect or observe then higher is okay

    Once you delete that alert folder & DB you can rebuild, it should rebuild very very quickly

    You have a catastrophic issue with your BI setup which needs to be corrected before we can fix the Codeproject AI issue

    Be Careful with CodeProject AI 2.1.0

    I failed to include in my config - I have it set to 10GB limit but in this situation I use a day limitation which corresponds to the amount of days of storage that my BI holds. So my Alerts folder is actually only 89MB even though I have limit set to 10GB. When I add cameras or storage I...

    If a (Dahua) cam SD card or NVR gets stolen, how secure is the footage?

    This is an excellent point - I would be shocked if the data is truly purged

    If a (Dahua) cam SD card or NVR gets stolen, how secure is the footage?

    Totally agreed - great points - I do think that a camera surveillance system can also function as part of a security system. Many car dealerships etc etc use their surveillance systems to trigger their security system when there are unwanted visitors at night on the lots, etc. It is all about...

    If a (Dahua) cam SD card or NVR gets stolen, how secure is the footage?

    No - my SD cards are not encrypted. I have SD cards in all of my cams, none of which are easily accessible and the ones that are are all 'watched' by other cameras to detect tampering. If a thief has managed to steal any of my cameras then my system has already failed catastrophically and the...

    If a (Dahua) cam SD card or NVR gets stolen, how secure is the footage?

    Yes I take the precautions that I noted above to protect stored files

    If a (Dahua) cam SD card or NVR gets stolen, how secure is the footage?

    Most of us use our surveillance systems to protect our property, family, etc, not necessarily to 'protect' the footage. If you're looking to protect the footage you should look into some other methods of data protection & encryption as well as physical security for the vulnerable data storage...

    Best American made IP camera?

    Are you able to ping to an outside IP address from behind the router? It's often difficult to block outbound traffic - and that is what these cameras tend to do - they call home, establish a state, and bam you're compromised. This is why we totally prevent these devices from speaking or...

    Total noob Home Assistant question

    I ran HA on my BI machine for about 3 days - I was also running unifi controller on my BI machine. I was having issues with my HA container hearing events properly on my network. I bought another cheap PC on ebay and set up proxmox and now run HA & unifi on their own container/VM on their own...

    This is exactly what I do as well - my primary BI server is on VPN and I use zero tier to access a secondary BI server at another location, I toggle zerotier on to access that location

    Good evening, I need some assistance

    For your ZeroTier question... as long as your BI PC is connected to ZeroTier it will remain connected even if you lock the PC. You can then access remotely via RDP. You will provide your login credentials when establishing the connection via RDP and will not see a 'login/lock' screen because...

    Hello everyone, I most probably need your help ;-)

    The unit actually has 2 x 1gb ports on the right side, you can even see them in the picture. I would use that to connect to the NVR
