    Possible DJI Drone Ban?

    Figured this forum may have some input on the pending legislation to supposedly ban DJI drones in the US. I say supposedly because that's the language that's being used on the forums and social media, but is it really a ban? Is this similar to what happened with Dahua, Hik, etc? H.R. 2864 is the...

    Scaring racoons off the boat dock

    Couple racoons were on my boat dock tonight. Turned on the lights remotely to scare them off, but they weren't bothered at all. So then I turned on an electric water pump and that did the trick. One ran for it and the other took a swim.

    EmpireTech PTZ425DB glitchy background?

    Here's a video from my new PTZ425DB. Watch the trees far in the background and you'll see some kind of glitch that happens every second. Any idea what's causing that? Seems very grainy compared to the rest and almost like that section of the picture is at 1 FPS while the rest of the image is 20...

    Bluegill eats a minnow, underwater camera

    That little minnow was swimming as hard as he could and unknowingly became the easiest meal of the day for a bluegill, lol.

    Crane eats a bass

    Heard a splash on my camera the other night and saw a crane had caught a big (for a crane) bass off my boat dock. After the fish died, it took the crane about 30 minutes to get it down - he tried unsuccessfully several times, but eventually got it broken up enough (I assume that's what he's...

    First day with my new Dahua underwater camera

    Okay, the thread title is misleading. It's just an IPC-HDW2431T in a homemade underwater housing, not a specialty underwater camera from Dahua. With ideas from this forum and a few other websites, I made an underwater housing using 4" PVC pipe, a 1/2" thick plexiglass disc, and a brass fitting...

    Installing camera in waterproof box for underwater use?

    Anyone ever installed an IP camera in some sort of waterproof housing for continuous use underwater? I'm imagining a plexiglass box just big enough to house a 5442 or similar with a waterproof passthrough for the ethernet cable. I'd like to be able to keep the box/camera submerged just under the...

    Solar powered remote ipcamera

    No, I'm not looking for a cheap solar powered camera like you find at harbor freight. I want to do a custom build, and thought y'all may have some experience. I have about 3 acres between me and my mailbox, and a hill that blocks line of sight. Straight line distance is around 1,200'. I'm...

    Why not 30 FPS?

    If computer processing power, storage, etc aren't a concern, is there a reason to not run 30 FPS on a camera like the 5442? Let's say the camera is pointed towards the street and a truck with a company logo on the side drives by at 30 MPH. Will 10, 15, 20, 30 FPS make a difference in being able...

    TP-Link KASA camera in Blue Iris?

    I have a TP-Link KC120 that I bought several years ago that I'd like to add to blue iris. It's a wifi camera that connects directly to my wifi (no hub). Any ideas if this is compatible with BI?
