    Viofo A229 Pro FRONT camera rotation?

    They just sent me updated firmware to the latest version with the image rotated, so pretty good support from Viofo. I don't understand why they don't just put it in the menu like they used to, but at least they fixed the problem for me.

    Viofo A229 Pro FRONT camera rotation?

    This is interesting. After I told them I would have to return the camera, they sent me a version of the firmware that has the camera rotated. It's hard-coded that way - not selectable from the menu - but I will likely keep it.

    Viofo A229 Pro FRONT camera rotation?

    Well. They did get back to me today. They confirmed that the A229 Pro DASH cam cannot be installed on a DASH... They say this is because the GPS won't work properly if installed that way. Even though the GPS on my A129 works just fine mounted to the dash and allows rotation... My windshield has...

    Viofo A229 Pro FRONT camera rotation?

    I have a Viofo A129 Pro and thought I'd upgrade during the Black Friday sales to the A229 Pro. The A129 Pro allows you to rotate the image for mounting on the dashboard instead of the windshield. I cannot find the same settings on the A229 Pro. There are rotation settings, but they are...

    Best motion settings for capturing rodent activity?

    Apparently not close enough. :) I am using a PTZ on the most zoomed setting. Close enough to see stuff if I'm watching it live.

    Best motion settings for capturing rodent activity?

    I am trying to capture rodent activity on one of my cameras connected to Blue Iris, but so far it is not working. I have "use zones and hotspots" checked and the area properly selected. I have "min object size" set at the smallest (100) and "min contrast" set at 20. I likely need to take...

    Wifi Trail or Wildlife Cameras that work with Blue Iris?

    Anyone know of Trail or Wildlife cameras that can be used via wifi with Blue Iris? I need a wifi trail camera but intend to use it in my backyard, within range of my home wifi. There are a lot of wifi trail cameras that claim to be wifi, but it is not clear from the marketing if that means it...

    Working with long-play digital chimes and video doorbells

    I have a Nutone LA600WH digital chime. It's awesome because it plays MP3 files. I have it play 10 seconds of "No Place Like Home" by DEVO. Unfortunately, no chime kit that comes with a video doorbell seems to work with it. I've tried Ring Pro as well as Amcrest. The power cuts off too soon. It...

    Lower bitrate without affecting FPS

    I would like to lower the bitrate that Blue Iris records at without altering the FPS. I am aware this will reduce the quality of the video. However the "Max Rate" setting in Blue Iris appears to affect both the bitrate AND the FPS. How do I lower the bitrate while keeping the FPS at 30? I am...
