Of course I'm not kidding I'm not too worried about talking on a cellphone a few times a day for 10-20 minutes (I mostly text). I'm worried about walking or riding around all day with a cellphone bodycam against by body while it emits cellular radiation into my body. That's just basic common...

I'll look into that. Thanks After discussions on YouTube it appears one of my best choices is a Arducam camera module connected to any microcontroller. The Raspberry Pi (or one of the many other Pi's) will work fine since its easily within my budget, and the endless software is free. The Pi...

Thanks, those are some of the Sony Starvis modules I'm looking for. But I will buy them on Amazon. I'm actually looking for the proper PC board to plug those cameras in to. Maybe I'll just get a Raspberry Pi and hope for the best results

I'm not familiar with any of this, I'm presuming hypothetical problems -which always arise-, and looking for answers to them before I even start. Everyone familiar with building cameras with these microcontrollers will understand what specific problems im referring to, even if I don't. They...

I believe all the firmware/ software is free

No problem. There are specialized experts here that can extensively answer it. I started to research it myself, but thought it would be far less time consuming to come here and get specific questions answered, than sift through the pages of information.

When I came to this board, one of the first things I read here was, "security cameras are like rabbits, they reproduce rapidly". Which I quickly found to be accurate information. My initial plan was 2-3 cameras for a small warehouse. I'm now up to 5 cameras and looking to expand once again But...

"the Nano can be configured to operate with either phones or other routers and will, IMO, operate better than trying to use a router in client mode (add wireless to a wired camera) but I feel I must re-state: the best performance comes with a pair of these radios configured as Layer 2...

I plan on using the Nano in the warehouse, it has a lot of advantages including creating a long range mesh network. My current router is set to AP mode, and I was thinking I may only need one Nano. But the question is if I get only one, can it run as a stand alone AP with 2-3 separate cameras on...

I might do that. I can get a cheap router to get my phone on the network. At this point the Nanos are my first option. But I'm intrigued with the LoRa setup for an alternate auxiliary project

Nice, I'm now on a rabbit trail looking at this setup, as well as audio/video transceivers, and LoRa that transmits over 100 km (62 miles). This will keep me busy for a while. Thanks for the help

Ok thanks, I'm looking into that now

So you're saying a point to point wireless bridge is all that is needed to reach 100 yards?. No router is needed?

The warehouse is approximately 100x100 yds, that includes the parking lot. My current setup at one end of the warehouse includes 5 Amcrest PoE cameras and only covers 1/4 of the warehouse. But the next 2-3 camera setup needs to be wireless, at the other end of the warehouse and on another...

This brings up a second question, if a modern router has a access point option, then do I need to buy a more expensive access point?. The only reason why i considered a access point for a offline system is because I assumed they offered much longer range, and maybe they do to a small degree...

I currently have a PoE offline LAN security system at work with 5 cameras that is accessed locally through an app on my phone I want to extend the system with 2-3 cameras to another part of the huge warehouse, but would prefer they be separate from my router which is maxed out. And because my...

That's as good a solution as any. But I'm at work, so I'll look to see which employee looks pissed off

Yes I thought the 10.1 was my router because it shows up in Net Analyzer as 'Winstars Technology', along with my cameras IP. But the other two addresses..... 192.168.10.104 192.168.10.145 ......do not show up in Net Analyzer. Nor do those two addresses show up when doing a 'Scan network' in...

I was playing around with tinycam and checked the box in network scanner that said "show unknown devices", and found 3 Foscam devices that I can't identify. 192.168.10.1 192.168.10.104 192.168.10.145 Are these my router and two hubs?. If so why are they named Foscam?. Or is there something...

It's a LAN network, no internet. And i have a 4 port router that has 3 cameras plugged into it, the fourth port in the router has a 4 port hub connected to it with one camera plugged into the hub. All viewing is done on 3 Android phones over WiFi. No hard wired PC connected. The Amcrest app...

I have one camera that can't be reached via Ethernet cable, and it has disconnected only once in several months. It runs very smooth. I have a 4 Port router and a 4 port hub. I have three cameras plugged into the router and the hub using the fourth port, with one camera currently plugged into...

Thanks. I'll lower the bitate, frame rate and resolution, and leave only one camera on WiFi and see if that fixes the problem. If not I may separate them on different routers I set the high bitrate when I had only three cameras. And as many here predicted, my cameras are multiplying like...

I have four cameras (soon to be five) connected by Ethernet cables, and two cameras connected wirelessly to a gigabyte router on my LAN system. I'm periodically having intermittent freezing of the live video for a few seconds at times. I'm wondering if this is being caused by the bitrate/frame...

Has anyone had any experience with these 900mhz long range cameras?. Zosi seems to be the only manufacturer at this time. The camera from Scenes One - The First WiFi HaLow Security Camera isn't on the market yet. Scenes One indiegogo I like the idea of a long range low power wireless network...

If you know of any way to upgrade amcrest firmware let me know. I cant do it, you need to sign up and register which is imposible. Amcrest makes upgrading very difficult

I agree, that's why I have not tried to upgrade to dahua. Updating the amcrest firmware is impossible. You need to sign up with email, and when I try that I get error messages. If i could backup the software I would do dahua now

I might have to do that, this firmware seems to be outdated. The amcrest website shows different options than exists in my firmware. I have been hesitant because it seems impossible to get my old amcrest firmware back again if something goes wrong. I can't even get to the amcrest download page.

Even though I like the Amcrest view pro app, it is a bit buggy, the fast forward of recorded video does not work. The given names of the cameras (parking lot, main floor, back wall etc) keep changing to different names. When I choose a date of recorded video I want to watch, the video always...

The bottom line is cost vs effectiveness and what you need it for. Amcrest and Dahua both have $250 cameras that have much better video quality, but if you don't need a $250 4k camera to watch your front yard, then it's a waste of money better spent on another $50 camera for your back yard. The...

Yes, an important distinction is how fast are the objects moving. This is a parking lot and vehicles move at 10mph. So at 35mph there probably will be a blur. My home security cameras will definitely be 4k and record at 4 with high framerates , even if I need to use multiple routers for it to...
