    Bait package for porch pirates...

    After the original clip was recorded, I fitted a concealed low angle camera, which usually gets a good ¾ view, day or night. Slowest shutter speed is set to 1/250 to reduce blur in low light.

    I can't comment on Dahua I do exclusively use the Synology for event detection, without issue. I don't use any alerts / notifications I use an iPhone with the (DS Cam app) and occasionally "check in" to monitor the house, perhaps if the house alarm or door bell is triggered. I have low res (640...

    I have since added a camera at waist height. The package contained some old books.

    Bait package for porch pirates...

    After several locals suspecting packages were being stolen from their doorsteps, I left a "bait" package out to see what happens.. Took a few days, but some one took interest. Just slightly amazed they didn't notice the two very obvious cameras.

    Bottle drop

    That's what I first thought, but the resultant stain looked more like it was a drink.

    The demo looked very impressive, I was just about to go the OpenALPR route but will hold off now, thanks for the heads up.

    Just 5 things... hard to find?

    I am using a Synology NAS with surveillance station and various Hikvision cameras including a DS-2CD2542FWD-IS. Two way audio does appear to be supported although I have never actually tried it. Ideally I would avoid using wi-fi, if you're unable to run a Cat5 cable, how about using a couple of...

    I have a mix of Hikvision and 4 X Lilin LR7022 cameras, mostly powered from POE switches or POE injectors. The help file with Surveillance Station is pretty good, so I didn't need any extra help. Yes I had to purchase 8 additional licences.

    I love my traffic cone...

    It was 3-4 in the morning back in the summer, so I think he was staggering back from a party, yes the sign was recovered.

    I also have a Synology DS716+ with 10 cameras running on Surveillance Station, using the Mac OS Client, and very happy with the performance and features.I would suggest purchasing on of the cameras recommended above and see how you get on, I think you'll find it easier than you expect.

    Students with bath

    It’s the age old student tradition of finding a load of (generally) junk and dumping it on a friend’s lawn. The most treasured object is the traffic cone, also favoured by drunks....coming soon!

    Poe camera with 160 degree field of view?

    Perhaps swap out the lens of a mini dome to a wider lens? I have done this many times with Hikvision domes, you'll need a M12 lens. I fitted wide angle SHOOT Replacement Camera Lens 170 Degree Wide Angle M12: Amazon.co.uk: Camera & Photo to a DS-2CD2542FWD-I. I have also fitted a 12mm one...

    Delivery guy hits car and drives off (U.K.)

    Fortunately the claim was only for the glass, which doesn't effect my main policy. I think the police (or the CPS) took the approach that failing to declare the driver was a simpler and guaranteed prosecution. The penalty was probably much the same. These days you've got to be a bit hard of...

    Delivery guy hits car and drives off (U.K.)

    The company were of little help, the damage was covered by my insurance, the driver was the registered keeper and was fined £600 plus 6 points on his licence. (12 points = Ban)

    Delivery guy hits car and drives off (U.K.)

    I was just beginning to wonder if I was justified in fitting a camera covering the street, then this happened! After several months the police "were unable to identify the driver", but did prosecute the registered keeper for failing to identify the driver. (N.B. Frame is cropped from a...

    Upgrade to NVR or continue with NAS

    Another vote for QNAP QVR Pro. It's been developing well in the last few months and support have been very responsive. N.B. I think it gets expensive over 8 cameras.
