https://www.tomsguide.com/news/abodes-new-security-camera-works-from-up-to-15-miles-away The long battery life and 1.5 mile WiFi (HaLow) distance are quite appealing for placing some remote cameras. My guess is the image quality isn't too great and it only works w/ their subscription system...

Thanks. When first connecting (.108) it asks for region and then goes to the login screen with 'admin' filled in as username and password blank. It does not do time zone nor does it ask to set a password. I'll give the super duper reset a try later tonight. Thank you! I don't think we've...

Setting up several new cameras. A new in the box (but prob 1-2 years on shelf) IPC-T5442T-ZE doesn't like admin/admin. It replies with 'Login Failed!' Also tried admin/ admin/password admin/Admin admin/1234 Took the cover off and did a button reset but still doesn't work. Any ideas? Thanks,

Thanks @EMPIRETECANDY. That doesn't list a an in-ceiling mount bracket (like the PFB5201C, etc.). Does it work with any of them?

Thanks @EMPIRETECANDY. Can you get the IPC-HDBW5442E-ZE or is there a dome you'd recommend for interior use? Vari-focal is a definite nice to have but I think a fixed w/ a 90° FOV would work in most cases.

Continuing with digging and comparisons. The IPC-HDBW5442E-ZE seems the best affordable option for a vari-focal dome and it works with PFB5201C in-ceiling mount. It doesn't seem to be available from @EMPIRETECANDY though? Other options that are available? There are 3 Wizmind-X cameras that...

Thanks @ThomasCamFan. I was totally unaware of that option.

That's helpful. Thank you. Which thru-ceiling mount were you considering?

@EMPIRETECANDY, or others, any thoughts on this? Thanks!

I'm looking for interior cameras for our house. All will be mounted in the ceiling (so thru sheetrock mounting is ideal). Prefer as small and unobtrusive as possible. Ceiling is white. All locations have ethernet / POE+. All can be fixed focus or vari-focal though a couple of locations would...

Have you looked at Security Spy?

We do this w/ Security Spy. An iPad or iMac can act as a display or an Apple TV + display. Either can display any number of cameras or tours and you can have as many as your network can handle. One example. The TV in our kitchen normally tours all cameras in groups of 4. If my wife or I are in...

To the original question... It's important to remember that USB3 ≠ USB3. A Gen 2 2x2 is massively faster than a Gen 1 1x1 and there are a half dozen flavors between these. My old MacBook w/ a 2x2 connection to an external drive provides good enough performance to edit fairly hi res video (about...

A lot of extra coding and debug work? Having compared BI and SS there is little need that I know of for BI on mac unless it's purely to save some $$'s but knowing what I do now I'd not consider the savings worth it. SS is a more stable and robust platform in my experience and well worth the cost.

Thanks all. Great info. I'm pretty sure if I put a conduit in that it will remain empty the rest of my life and if I don't put it in then I'll wish I had about 2 weeks after the trench is closed up... :-) AirMax really seems to be the ticket.

I'd love to stick a conduit in that trench for future use but at nearly $1/ft I think my boss says I'll have to pass :-) A NanoStation seems the ideal solution. Thanks for that. I should also be able to stick a Nano Switch on it if needed for additional cameras but I think for now we just want...

We have about an 800' driveway from an outbuilding (w/ Ethernet Switch) to the road and given recent stolen mail incidents we are thinking a camera down there wouldn't be a bad idea. We do have 120v power at the road end. It is somewhat heavily treed. This is MN so temps of -20°f are common in...

Sign of a sick mind: The only image you zoom in on is the one that shows how the ethernet was routed.

A neighbor posted this. Thoughts on what camera this is, why the perps face is so blurred, how it compares w/ other cameras or can be improved? Thanks,

Would a WizMind camera have all of the capabilities of a WizSense camera? E.G., other than cost would there be a reason to get a WizSense instead of a WizMind?

Thank you guys. I think it finally makes sense now. There was a camera (I believe Phase One) that I played with a bit ago that had a low light mode that effectively took 4 pixels and used them as one with each a different bit of dynamic range. The result was effectively 18 stops of actual...

Thanks. The funny thing is that I'm a fashion photographer - but this is an entirely different world. Am I thinking correctly assuming the same sensor size and lens? Or perhaps a better way to put it - same camera but 2, 4 or 8 MP with commensurate increases in cost. Will I loose any...

A 4MP needs about twice as much light as a 2MP? However, can a 4MP operate as a 2MP? IOW, would it make any sense to get a 4MP or 8MP and have it at full rez during the day and then downrez at night? Thanks,

Here's the studio:

I've roughed in for 4 exterior cameras on our detached studio. Two in the gable facing our house (150' from studio to house front), one under an eve looking down our driveway and one under a boat shed. I've had a number of Dahua/Loryta cameras from Andy and for my simple mind's ability to learn...

We're pretty much an all macOS environment now (w/ Security Spy for DVR which has worked great). I'd forgotten about this bit of PITA w/ Windows.

You're running SS on a M1 now? Did you upgrade from an Intel? Thoughts on the M1?

We've a Synology RS3618xs NAS connected via 10gb ethernet. When considering the storage space we needed for a number of things and the performance we needed this made sense. Performance is considerably better than any USB/Thunderbolt option would be able to achieve. I'd not have done this just...

Is there a good door station / doorbell that has two buttons (plus camera and possibly mic & speaker)? I'd like to be able to distinguish between someone standing at the door who needs someone to come immediately and a package drop-off that is not so urgent. So far those that I've found are...

Quick update. The cameras on the G.hn PLA's have had 100% uptime since I posted above.
