    Anyone used a USB 3.0 connected external Drive for Video storage?

    I purchased 2 x 4GB WD Purple drives for additional video storage. Turns out there are no more connections available in my PC to add them. (My setup has a small SSD and an 8TB Drive now but the 8TB is very close to full with just under 2 week's video history and I'd like to expand closer to...

    Funny / Satire

    Cool! I totally want to know how to do that! Could have all kinds of fun freaking people out. Is it simple? Is this what a "deep fake" video looks like or not good enough?

    Happy ending: Attempted heist of neighbor's trailer

    Why didn't you just shoot em? No one would come looking for those human piles of :poop: and would have saved the tax payers a lot of future $$ in public atty fees and prison housing. ...and then delete the video of course. :winktongue:

    Not eligible for Winn 11 Upgrade?!

    Thanks. Ride it out to 2025 it is for the desktop then. Oddly enough, the MS PC Health Check app said my laptop, (which is even older), also was not compatible when I checked it late last year. I just checked it again last week and it said it WAS compatible with Win11. So I went ahead and ran...

    Review-Dahua/EmpireTech Dual lens IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2 (The Boobie Cam Upgrade)

    Just browsing old posts here. Dahua has some nice 180 multi-lensed cams that have 3 or 4 cameras stitched together as one image feed. They are a lot bigger and more expensive of course but I love the coverage. I have the 2mp 5231 2.8mm cam and the 4x2MP pano bullet style cam...

    Not eligible for Winn 11 Upgrade?!

    My HP desktop computer is about 5 yrs old and has what, at the time was a decent processor; an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz 3.41 GHz. with 24GB RAM. How is a fairly "young" IMO pretty standard computer like this not eligible?! Is the majority of the planet going to have to buy a...

    Can you power Christmas lights with POE+?

    Just curious, does anyone know if it is somehow possible to power LED Christmas lights with POE+ through CAT 6 cable? I wanted to put Christmas lights at my mailbox but don't want to run an extension cord all the way from the house. I already have a buried CAT 6 cable connection there I...

    Need tutorial direction to stream cam on our new subdivision web site

    Yup, tried 15fps\15 I-frame...didn't seem to make it any better or worse. I was assuming the BI help talking about the "Max KeyFrame Interval" had to be something different or at least the value not refer to seconds but it does not clarify. BI help seems to be at odds with The YouTube error...

    Need tutorial direction to stream cam on our new subdivision web site

    I think I have it working as good as it is going to get. Using the substream is a max 480p but that's fine for my purposes and no blips for lack of a better term. When I switch to it using the main stream no matter what the settings the image does some sort of blip blocky blur then goes clear...

    Need tutorial direction to stream cam on our new subdivision web site

    The stream is definitely from camera to BI to YouTube. My camera model, (5321Z) does not have the RTMP firmware option to try streaming it directly from the camera itself. Tweaking all of the settings suggested and a few others are not making any difference to the end quality. Tweaking the...

    Need tutorial direction to stream cam on our new subdivision web site

    I left everything at whatever the defaults are in BI. 1) Not sure where to see my upload speed to YT but I have a 1G fiber up\down connection to the house so no constraint there. 2) I assume so? I just added the RTMP URL and stream key and it was live. 3) Camera property screen Shows red dot...

    Need tutorial direction to stream cam on our new subdivision web site

    Thanks for the direction. I followed the Godaddy & Youtube instruction and had the test camera embedded on my web site in just a couple of minutes! No 3rd party OBS software was suggested or needed? So, what additional use does OBS provide? While I'm excited to get that going the let downs so...

    Need tutorial direction to stream cam on our new subdivision web site

    I just completed a new web site for our neighborhood and would like to add one of my web cams as a live stream if it is possible within the constraints of my setup. It is a basic site hosted by and using GoDaddy's basic "WebBuilder" template tool. That's about as much as I know about web site...

    Dahua DMSS App.

    Do you have to have a Dahua NVR to be able to use this to view your cameras? I have Dahua cameras but only running through BI on my PC. The BI phone app is great but just curious if this is another option to view the cameras on my phone or remote desktop connection.

    Any idea if latest version of BI will work properly with Windows 11?

    Any idea if latest version of BI will work properly with Windows 11? I think you can DL Win11 now to try out. Curious if any early adopters have tried it out yet with BI.

    Windows 11 starting to appear on the horizon

    How do I know if my computer has a TPM 2 module or whatever it is? I just downloaded and ran this compatibility checker test and says my Core i-7 6700, (6th gen?) may be incompatible with Win11. o_O Windows says ditching support for 6th and 7th gen CPUs. So I guess I'll be sticking with Win 10...

    Can I just wire a Wifi Cam to an outdoor light fixture?

    Goofed on the 12 vs120 of course. Point being they both run off of the s me I assumed. Cool DIY but I am not that crafty (aka not so skilled). After looking around I am now thinking about something like splicing in one of those small Wyze V3 cube cameras below whatever light fixture I get...

    Can I just wire a Wifi Cam to an outdoor light fixture?

    So I have been looking to replace some old front porch coach style wall lights with newer motion sensor ones. Then I run across these Kuna smart security lights w a camera built in and think Hmm...good idea. Then I realize they kind of seem like crap , (also out of stock) and don't see any...

    Review: IPC-LPR237B-IR / Equivalent of Dahua ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B - ANPR, Traffic & Access Control Camera

    So what is the cost of this model? Does it work for U.S. plates? Can it tie into local law enforcement hot lists to notify them if it detects a plate they are searching for, (stolen, crime, amber alert) like the newer lease business model turn-key setups can do, (Flock Falcon cam, Motorola L5Q)...

    Understanding wizsense / wizmind

    Is there a comparison chart or doc detailing what the differences are between Wizmind and Wizsense? Are each only available on certain style cameras? Is the AI built into the camera itself or does it work by sending snapshots up to some server to do the AI and back like some other cameras?
