    Gonna be a wet one today

    Fair sized storm moving through today. The 4K/X shaking is shaking pretty good in the wind. It's mounted to a 4" x 6" plastic junction box. Hasn't failed me in bigger storms but we'll have to get up there this week and make sure everything is nice and tight. The sky/city cam is speed up 20x...

    Olden day Pictures

    My grandfather used to repo motorcycles during the 30s and 40s. Had a specially built sidecar and an assistant. They'd find the bike in question and wait for the owner to park it somewhere. Then they'd race up, put the bike in the sidecar and race away as fast as he could. Ended up being the...

    Hall of shame

    Clearly this install is in an earthquake prone area.

    Wi-Fi jamming to knock out cameras suspected in nine Minnesota burglaries --

    ^^^ This! In Cuba, I see a lot of Zosi and other low-end brands for sale. People figure that cameras are cameras. We're very happy that we decided to invest in decent cams initially (Dahua 2431-S-S2) and are now replacing them with 4K/X and 5449 dual-lens from Dahua. I think that the thieves...

    3D Printing Dual Camera Mount for Pairing Z12's

    I married my first wife in 2007 and she arrived in Canada in 2008. Same thing. Blown away. 10 different types of cooking oil!? WHY!? Which isn't an invalid question. Cuba has a lot of private markets now which are supplied by the new private corporations importing goods. I can buy 20...

    Early morning spark show

    CPAP machine is more sensitive than the camera system! Lol Even though it has a transformer, it's still advisable to have a pure sine wave UPS/inverter for the CPAP.

    Early morning spark show

    This is the first, and the ONLY time, I've seen the bulb from that lamp on the post lit up! lol It's actually kind of shocking how it blows the cover loose and the bulb (pretty sure it was the bulb) fall to the ground on fire.

    Rotating Images with IPC-HDW5842T-ZE-S2

    Man, I wish I'd seen this thread before I spent half an hour fighting with my 5449s. Sucks dropping to 1080p but I did but the cameras more for their night capabilities than resolution.

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HFW5449T1-ASE+D2 - Dual Lens Full Color 2.0

    I ended up mounting a 4K/X in this location. This is probably my favourite camera if one has enough light. And tremendous microphone on this units. Mounted the two 5449s where I had 2431-S-S2 cams. What a difference going from 1/3" sensors to 1/1.8" on 4MP. I did find the IVS a bit...

    Early morning spark show

    Just checked and the transformer is one more post up the street. Very well could have been an animal as we see rats running along the wires quite frequently. But it looks like the branches on the second tree starts to sway with the wind. They've been neglecting forestry work on the right of...

    Early morning spark show

    ** Upload the second video is crapping out on me so the video in this post is the good one** Since I need a CPAP machine to sleep (total life-changing device for me and many others), I'm acutely aware of power outages at night. It doesn't become impossible to breathe but is a bit more...

    Power Pole Transformer Installation

    I have a similar video from November. Electrical storm went through and afterwards I was reading 277 volts when measure across the two hot phases! Guys came out and changed out the transformer. I was going to post the video (looked great in 4K), until they started pulling beers out of the...

    Chile Women's Swat Team Competes in UAE Competition

    I have a buddy who's a firefighter in Toronto. He'd refuse to work on a truck with a woman. Not because he's misogynist but because 99% of woman wouldn't be able to carry him (210+ pounds and very lean) out of a fire or lift a piece of heavy debris off of someone. But I have met women the...

    Front door camera suggestions?!

    I mounted a 5441 (BoobieCam) at my front door. One pointed at the door and one at the entrance from the street. It does face detection 24/7 on both channels. Had to drop the FPS to 5 due to an underpowered SoC. Detailed the install (including changing the lenses) here.

    Chile Women's Swat Team Competes in UAE Competition

    Maybe they'd had little, to zero, zipline experience. I'm sure the other challenges would have been something that they'd trained for.

    Got to give them a lot of credit for trying! If they'd made it across, I wonder how well they'd have done on the other challenges.

    Three Night Picts Comparing Dahua IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 (S1), Empire IPC-B52IR-Z12E-S2, Empire IPC-B54IR-Z4E-S3

    I recently replaced some 2431-S-S2 with 1/3" sensors with 5449 dual lens with 1/1.8" sensors (both 4MP cameras). What a difference! I run colour at night now and am getting some great images. We had a few minutes without power this morning due to a high winds moving through. Can't wait to...

    Meanwhile in Europe...

    My wife is on a plane to Paris as I write this. Few days there and then to Madrid to visit her cousin. Her first time in Europe (but not her first time travelling out of Cuba) so I'll be interested to hear her opinion on things.

    Custom, Waterproof, hooded camera mount

    Have you considered 3D printing? I recently had a couple PFA137 junctions printed out in ABS and I was very happy with them. I found a rain shield here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3822158 Google should come up with more if you search 'CCTV cam rain shield STL'. There will be someone...

    Booty Matters

    My guy, just for you I'll upload the footage from the other cam. Just be aware that she was using her phone's flashlight to look in the garbage bins just before the above clip starts. But I don't judge. Her or you.
