    Smart Camera with Hand Gestures?

    Why would you pay for this service when you can buy an active deterrence camera and be done with it?

    G4 Doorbell Pro. Anyone gonna test it?

    It doesn't support them directly, RTSP is produced by their protect product. https://community.ui.com/questions/How-does-RTSP-work-on-Protect/448bd517-7991-4d45-982c-33eff0d22184. Being said you need protect to use it, also using blue iris is pretty dumb as you would just end up with two nvrs.

    G4 Doorbell Pro. Anyone gonna test it?

    They do but it's ultimately pointless as you still need their protect nvr device so you would end up with two NVRs.

    Illegal fireworks at 2 am

    LOL, I am lucky if it sticks to holidays. In football season they are lighting them off for every touchdown, baseball season is a little calmer, and it's usually only for home runs. 4th of july was a solid 30 days of fireworks.

    Converter Removal team

    I mean probably, the cops need to focus on shutting down the recyclers taking them if they want it to stop.

    IP Cameras only good for after the fact? Not any more

    I am just saying that alarm companies exist because it makes people feel safe, not because it actually makes you safer. Before cellphones, were as widespread as they are now they may have had a purpose, now unless you are in an airplane or really in the middle of now where you are not...

    IP Cameras only good for after the fact? Not any more

    I have had recruiters for ADT reach out to offer me a job as I list some of my security background and my IT work on my LinkedIn. ADT offered $18/hour so the pay is not the absolute bottom of the barrel when it comes to pay but not enough to get you people will really care. Furthermore, I think...

    IP Cameras only good for after the fact? Not any more

    I hope so, I don't like living on this planet anyway. But no, I won't. There is no way that a 3rd party alarm dispatcher will save me from a fire before my smoke detectors/CO detectors. Won't happen and implying otherwise is silly. If I don't wake up to a blaring alarm in my room I am not waking...

    IP Cameras only good for after the fact? Not any more

    Sure you can. Your NVR can rebroadcast the RTSP feeds. I don't use that app though on my roku and just stuck a Chromecast in the back. Home assistant has automation to cast an active camera to that Chromecast and automatically pop it the active camera for me.

    IP Cameras only good for after the fact? Not any more

    Monitored systems are a joke and it's a discount on home insurance, not actual savings when you compare the money spent on the monitoring. Monitored systems have been repeatedly shown to have slower response times compared to homeowner calling the police. All monitored alarms delay response time...

    Terrorist attack?

    I have never been to a gas station without them. Maybe it's a warmer climate thing where they are gone but no way is anyone standing outside where it snows holding the pump without also rioting against it.

    Package Thieves !! Three adjacent Neighbors Hit

    I don't think there will be a 100% answer for that. It will depend on the Prosecutor, judge, or even the defense attorney. Each one is different and will have a different opinion on it. It really depends on what is shown on the video. If you just catch a person walking by 5 minutes before a...

    Package Thieves !! Three adjacent Neighbors Hit

    Has it been challenged? I am sure it has. I would have ethical questions if a defense attorney didn't try that angle, especially when trying to use an alibi that would place him somewhere else at the supposed time of the crime. The Reality is I would bet there would be bigger issues if the...

    Question on Enviz doorbell ONVIF support needed for Newbie

    You need either RTSP or onvif to intergrate in to most NVRS. That said onvif is a standard protocol that allows many other things to grab sensors data, images, video and even control the PTZ functions of the camera.

    Package Thieves !! Three adjacent Neighbors Hit

    I ran into a similar issue with turning over the footage. Without a good plate, the footage is pretty useless alone when trying to identify vehicles. The cops couldn't do anything with my 4k footage of an SUV on rims, because there are dozens of them around here even though this one seemed...

    Package Thieves !! Three adjacent Neighbors Hit

    Most people do not care about security. They pay the ADT scam and move on. I have looked around my neighborhood and there aren't many rings installed.

    Question on Enviz doorbell ONVIF support needed for Newbie

    The ezviz DB1 doesn't have onvif either out of the box. It needs to be flashed with different firmware. The RTSP Stream works fine with my frigate install, however. I really like my ezviz DB1 but if I was in the market for a new doorbell right now I would be hard-pressed to choose anything other...

    Amcrest IP2M841B - Missing Auto Tracking feature?

    The automation is quite nice and keeps from needing multiple cameras scattered around inside. I like cameras but I also enjoy not looking like a prison yard. I am thinking of recreating it outside with a PTZ using the same zigbee sensors on my mailbox and spotter cams. Just trying to find a...

    Amcrest IP2M841B - Missing Auto Tracking feature?

    Looks like the difference is the IP2M-841B. The 'B' model seems to have auto-tracking. I don't know your use case but I don't think you are honestly missing that much on this camera. While I will say auto-tracking on a PTZ is a needed feature on most PTZ cameras otherwise you will miss the...
