    Vigilant Solutions VSR-60-02MP1 IP Camera IPC262ER9-X10DU 24V, 1.5A, 50/60Hz.

    Actually there's another listing for another bunch of these. As low as $21.31/each, but there's $10 shipping, but that's still less than the $33.24 I paid last time. I just ordered a few more. I have no need for these, but I can't resist! Once I've set them for DHCP and updated their firmware...

    Vigilant Solutions VSR-60-02MP1 IP Camera IPC262ER9-X10DU 24V, 1.5A, 50/60Hz.

    $35 camera looks good! Too bad y'all bought the rest of those eBay units; otherwise I would have picked up a bunch of them, just to have some inventory.

    Hmmm. There's an Audio setting in the setup: but I think you're right--the output seems to have no actual audio content. ffprobe reports: Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from '/Users/steven/Downloads/Vigilant1.20250511_202835-202847.979.mp4': Metadata: major_brand : isom...

    PeteJ, which one is the $35 camera?

    Yes! The new firmware now includes a volume control on the Live view:

    Actually, clicking Cloud Upgrade: Detect once doesn't actually execute anything. I just checks. Once it displays the above message, clicking Cloud Upgrade a second time results in: I clicked OK, and after 5-10 minutes, I now have firmware version QIPC-R1201.30.42.220623 and a slightly...

    Vigilant Solutions VSR-60-02MP1 IP Camera IPC262ER9-X10DU 24V, 1.5A, 50/60Hz.

    More interesting-er: I clicked Cloud Upgrade: Detect, and now: I didn't get a chance to confirm/cancel; it just said, "The upgrade will take a while. Please do not disconnect power." :wow: I'll let it simmer for an hour and see if anything changes. When I click Cloud Upgrade on my other...

    Vigilant Solutions VSR-60-02MP1 IP Camera IPC262ER9-X10DU 24V, 1.5A, 50/60Hz.

    Interesting. I have 2 of the Vigilant units, so I installed IPC_Q1201-B5029P12D1907 on one of them. Mixed bag: Firmware updated successfully, and the updated unit reports version IPC_Q1201-B5029P12D1907. The camera did prompt me to enter a new password upon first boot. I can now use a...

    5.3.1 - July 16, 2020 Your Blue Iris web server now is also an RTSP server.

    I just stumbled upon this. Great hidden feature! I have it working in VLC right now. I may attempt to stream it to YouTube to work around a problem I'm having whereby ffmpeg's composition of 2 streams into a side-by-side 2-up view stopped working for reasons unknown.

    BIG Owl on my Trail

    Bzzzz: For some reason the bumblebees like to investigate my cameras. They certainly don't look or smell like flowers, so maybe they're attracted to some noise or electromagnetic field. ???

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    ^^ I had to tear down my installation a few weeks ago, and I found that it wasn't enough just docker-compose down, which deletes the Container(s). I also had to go into Docker Desktop and delete all the Images and Volumes, manually. Then docker-compose pull and docker-compose up -d worked. n=1...

    Mounting Hik DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3 sideways against fence?

    I am replacing my ancient RLC-423 as my streaming BeeCam: with a DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3: But how to mount it against a fence, outdoors? I think I actually want to mount it sideways, against the face of the fence, like this: because it will be quite close to at least one of my hives, and I...

    Vigilant Solutions VSR-60-02MP1 IP Camera IPC262ER9-X10DU 24V, 1.5A, 50/60Hz.

    I don't know (yet) how good it is at ALPR, but I dumped the config XML in my earlier post, and its contents show that it was definitely intended to be an ALPR cam. I'm guessing that some company thought they were going to make it big selling ALPR services to 10,000 different cities, and...

    Blue Iris OS Options

    TPM 2.0 just adds a tiny bit more protection against very specific types of malware, and there's really no downside to installing it, so if I can, I install it. That said, this decision is entirely orthogonal to the Win11 upgrade, from a technical point of view, e.g. TPM 2.0 is more secure than...

    Blue Iris OS Options

    You may not have to buy it. Try running ShowKeyPlus on your PC. Since your PC was manufactured by a tier 1 OEM, it probably has the Windows OEM key embedded in the BIOS, which means Win11 will just install and activate just fine. Here's a run before Win11 upgrade: ShowKeyPlus - Windows Product...

    What make/model do you have? I bought 4 used Optiplex 7040 SFF computers that originally came with TPM 1.2, and I discovered in late 2024 that Dell had released a TPM 2.0 update utility for this model, despite it was originally released nearly a decade ago. Prior to doing that I'd also...

    PTZ w/stored focus points and HTTP scripting?

    Success!! This test video demonstrates that this camera definitely stores manual focus points for each preset: Now I just have to get a junction box, put it out by the bees, and update my streaming configuration.

    PTZ w/stored focus points and HTTP scripting?

    So I ordered an Hik DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3, for $154.98+$14.72=$169.70 and I'll see if does what I want. It's already in Hodgkins, IL, so I should get it this week. Good thing, too, as my Reolink PTZ looks like it's slowly dying. The live feed stalls more and more often each week, and it no longer...

    Mount POE Switch Inside or Outside the House?

    There are a few POE-powered POE switches out there, which means you can run just one cable to the POE switch. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BA5JH52 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08SQ5PCY3 https://www.amazon.com/OdiySurveil-IEEE802-3at-IEEE802-3af-Power-Out-Extender/dp/B0198H6EUK/ I've used all 3...

    PTZ w/stored focus points and HTTP scripting?

    Anyone know the equivalent HikVision model? The datasheet for the DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3 appears to be very, very similar to the datasheet for the LTS PTZIP204WX4IR, but I can't be sure. Searching amazon for DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3(C0)(USA-STD)(S6)(C) results in mostly international/English models with...

    PTZ w/stored focus points and HTTP scripting?

    Thanks! I found it on amazon for $278, which is certainly within my budget, seeing as I paid $229 for my RLC-423, 7 years ago. 4X zoom is fine, as that's what I have now. Low-light performance is not of concern, since the bees don't come out at night, and they only get night-time intruders...

    PTZ w/stored focus points and HTTP scripting?

    Ouch! That's a lot of money for a BeeCam. If I could make some money with the stream I could justify it, but my <600 subscribers are not going to cut it!

    PTZ w/stored focus points and HTTP scripting?

    I could add "FocusDec" and "FocusInc" to my rotator script, but the timer doesn't have nearly enough granularity to focus reliably, at least not when I last fiddled with it , and especially at this short distance (typically 12" - 48"). I also fiddle with the number of presets that I want to...
