    New user, hello

    I am trying to wrap my head around a company that does not even allow a cell phone in your cube, but that might allow you to install software onto the PC they assign your for the day. Been in the tech field for 22 years - this sounds like a NOC or DOC role? But at the companies I have worked...

    New user, hello

    Bottom line if you are in a DMZ that is not allowed access to the internet and you are not allowed a cell phone, then how does anyone in your position access the internet? Possibly describing the topology of your internet access would be helpful. You obviously have a unique situation and keep...

    New user, hello

    Then why ask if you can load a certain app onto your phone and ask how safe it might be?

    New NVR or should I go Blue Iris?

    My target is also around 3 weeks of storage

    New NVR or should I go Blue Iris?

    For security purposes (not personal reasons) not sure why you would need so much history?

    Setup advice and questions

    Running an NVR generally locks you into a specific brand of cameras. Generally NVR’s don’t provide you with as much configuration flexibility as might be possible with a given camera (NVR approved brand or not) Most people want or need a little more flexibility in those areas. But I guess some...

    LED string light flickering

    A low (very slow) shutter speed will fix it. I run across this all the time. Frame rates have nothing to do with your concern. I-frame rates have nothing to do with your concern. Sometimes changing to 50 or 60 HZ will work as well - depends on led manufacturer, the leds used and the power...

    New user, hello

    Sounds like you can return the reolink. I recommend that you go ahead and do that. If still wanting modestly priced cams, get Amcrest as mentioned above. I have a few of them and for non-critical concerns such as you described they work great.

    Port open but can't connect?

    Yes but if I understand correctly, every time your IP changes, you have to go to that site and update it right? Its not dynamic. So if you are not on your local network (your out of town and cannot look up the new IP) and your public IP changes, then you cannot connect

    Port open but can't connect?

    Having said that, I do not pay for, nor did I request a static IP. However for the last 2 years it has not changed and my service provider definitely has me on a DHCP lease. Nonetheless, when I send an image out via email (resulting from an alert), I place my public IP address in that alert...

    Port open but can't connect?

    Yes, but few ISP providers allow for static IP’s by default. Since it is something people want, they generally charge for it. Just another revenue stream for them

    Port open but can't connect?

    Unless you request from your internet provider to have a static public IP, you may be assigned a new one any time once your current DHCP lease runs out or they restart some of their equipment or you restart your router. But go to this address from your BI machine to determine what your public...

    Person detection without cameras using wifi beacons

    Like I said, when it is up and running, report back : )

    Person detection without cameras using wifi beacons

    I don't get it, but when you have something working it would be interesting to see what you can do with it. I find that so many of my friends get new phones so often, and others do as well. Each delivery truck is a Truck with a new person - and a new phone. I guess I am just trying to see how...

    Person detection without cameras using wifi beacons

    @actran asked you for your code: "@M4DM4NZ You have any working code for this project?" But you chose not to post it. So not sure what is working where or when. So I got the impression this is just an idea

    Person detection without cameras using wifi beacons

    This does not seem to even exist. The OP is asking for code in case anyone actually does this. So mostly just an idea. Certainly an interesting one in certain edge cases for sure.

    Detect unregistered person scenario

    Clarification: not unwanted people. Just people you have not logged into your system yet. Not sure that a new phone in the neighborhood equals a person with nefarious intent. Packet sniffing for someones probable intention - promising intellectually, but a lot of challenges to get any...

    Hi.

    Sounds good. You are now set to log in. Have fun!

    Hi.

    This is what it looks like when I access one of my Dahua cameras on my local network and I am challenged with providing the user name and password I am on my IPAD, not a PC, but the result is the same. I enter the IP address and hit enter. The web browser then hits the web server which responds...

    Hi.

    ”GoAhead” is a web server and has nothing to do with a “web browser” per se You enter an IP address into a web browser search bar in order to access a given web server The web server then serves up content to the web browser There is only one reset button that any camera has - when 2 buttons...

    New cameras for new building

    Step up your game and add AI facial recognition, then add a Sonos speaker That way the system can say ”Hello <mary|john|bob>” whenever they approach their office and sit down This will comfort the employees and increase productivity

    Hi.

    Never heard of a ‘goahead’ browser. I would stick to Internet Explorer for these concerns. You are introducing to many variables by using an off brand browser. Also, just connect and test only one camera. Connecting both at the same time is not helpful when trying to debug what might be wrong

    New NVR or should I go Blue Iris?

    You can watch main/sub live (up to you) you can record main/sub (up to you) you can send main/sub to the AI (up to you) You need to answer: What is important to you? What are your hardware limitations (if any)? What makes you happy?

    New NVR or should I go Blue Iris?

    It can all be configured in BI. Whatever you prefer is what you can set it up to do.

    New NVR or should I go Blue Iris?

    I ran an NVR for 5 years. Several of my friends had BI at work. But I did not move until after 5 years of NVR ownership, seemed like a hassle to move to BI. However, once I initiated the move I found that both solutions are equitable in the amount of work it takes to get them up and running. The...

    How many of you live in a "safe" place?

    Here is an interesting use case I thought that I would share. I have a very advanced smart home setup. Part of its responsibilities is to monitor for any water leaks. But you quickly learn that no water leak solution is perfect. So when I installed our whole house water filtration system last...

    How many of you live in a "safe" place?

    It is not an issue. Do you live in an extreme weather location like Alaska? If this concern bothers you, they sell cameras that have heaters built in. Its all about your budget and what your local installation challenges are

    How many of you live in a "safe" place?

    Peace of mind. No notable incidents. But to think it can’t happen would be naive on my part. I have had bad things happen at other houses I have owned. When we are out of town, being able to monitor the pets/garden (for watering frequency) is super helpful. Plus if we are running errands or out...
