    Able to view all live cameras/groups on Roku!

    Hassio has a Roku media controller. I have yet to work with it. One task I have to make it when my doorbell rings, my TV will switch to the roku and goto the IP cam channel automatically when I am home. That is still a ways off though as I have many more integrations to set up before that...

    Able to view all live cameras/groups on Roku!

    I started using home assistant. There should be a way to call the Roku app to display a screen override as well as the fact that I can set up a tablet view when motion is detected. My experiments are still in the very early phases.

    Able to view all live cameras/groups on Roku!

    I use the Roku service and I am very happy with your hard work. What I still need to figure out is the PTZ settings for Blue Iris so I can control my PTZ cams via the Roku. Unless I missed it somewhere, I do not see it referenced in either thread.

    Able to view all live cameras/groups on Roku!

    I like the app... it works rather well for me I would like to know if anyone got the ptz calls working to Blue Iris. That is one trick I am still trying to figure out.

    Cantonk 4MP Camera

    Yep, looks like the IR cut filter is not working. I will play with it some more today, but I think a replacement will have to be ordered. Black and white works without issue. ...the testing continues...

    Cantonk 4MP Camera

    UPDATE Well, one of the three cameras failed...sort of. The camera suddenly went off color. Cantonk was good about connecting to the camera, dropping firmware and testing. They finally determined that it was a hardware issue. I ordered a replcemtent board and the replacement exhibited the exact...

    Home Video Surveillance - Security + Baby Monitoring. Wifi + Wired. Help.

    I found this to be a decent camera so far https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JWCV9CU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It has two way audio, wifi and a decent size. Just make sure to put the damn SD card in before booting for the first time. It took me 10mins to shut off the blasted...

    Recommended Indoor Cam? Maybe Hikvision

    I grabbed a Cube off Amazon on sale for $102 and so far I am pretty happy with it. I did install it outside on my porch, so if someone wants to tear it off the wall they probably could. I like the digital alarm out, but it can't be adjusted and the PIR is too sensitive for my likes. I have not...

    Cantonk KIP-TC20

    I picked up three of these camera if someone wants me to post a review let me know. I went with the: KIP‐300TC20A 1/2.8" SONY Starvis Backilluminated CMOS Sensor External POE +5USD I am still getting a feel for these cameras. Some of the build I like and some I don't.

    nayr's home automation build out...

    Our company has many who use the cradle points as backup... A few locations are only on cradle point and I cringe when I have to connect to them. They work and are better than nothing, just not by much. My glorious plans to install Domticz on my ClearOS server hit a snag. I cannot Make the...

    New Ipcam any good?

    You can hook it up to see how it looks. I do not see the specs online. It looks like a fairly common 2MP PTZ

    Purchase Protection

    I will let you know how their return policy is. I had one of my 4MP cameras lose green for some reason. They had several techs connect to my cam and try to get it working through the interface with no luck. I ordered a replacement board and will ship the faulty one back to save on shipping and...

    This camera just looks like fun...

    Put a multi-meter on the POE end at the camera and verify 12v and you can also check amperage against the camera. Under voltage or low amps could make the board fail to initialize.

    Another License plate capture project

    So reading through this project... Nayr and his awesome birdhouse is inspiring me. I have an intersection about 40-50 ft away from the corner of my house where a decorative birdhouse would not look suspect. What is you opinions of using this board camera?

    z-wave motorized drapery track arriving today

    Here is one of many examples of the value though. It is 65F at night and the temp gets to 85F during the day. At a set time the drapes open to let the sun in and when the internal temp hits 72F they close keeping the sun out while you are away.

    Who is watching you? Russian website puts local cameras online

    That has been an issue for years. Still is for many analog systems even that have passwords. That is why my camera systems are not allowed to go out to the web.

    Cantonk 2.4MP Speed dome PT5AM22XH200

    Do you have any pics with the IR on. How do these cameras compare noise wise? I am thinking about replacing a 27X beast that is on the side of my house we can hear inside. At $107 plus shipping that little camera is very tempting just to play with.

    Latency an issue for IP cams when daisy chaining switches?

    Gigabit switches would be hard pressed to be saturated. IP cameras require only a 10/100 connection to stream. I have 8 analog cameras streaming to Blue Iris and another 7 cameras ranging from 1MP to 4MP streaming to the same computer using intermediary routers. I have zero latency issues beyond...

    Cantonk 4MP Camera

    It means for the camera to be 802.1a compliant you need to add POE. Otherwise the camera has a 12v input. You can use a passive power adapter like these of you don't want the POE

    Cantonk 4MP Speed dome PT7DH20XH400

    The lower resolution camera seems to have much better night vision. Are the IRs on in these pictures?

    This camera just looks like fun...

    I will say one thing about the Bosch camera I do like. Once you mount the power box the camera has two clips that become a hinge. Then you can wire it and lock it up while it is open. I did not want to fall off the 25ft ladder I was on and the camera was a heavy thing.

    Cantonk 4MP Camera

    Well, I may have to return one of the three cameras. I have to manually unplug it once a week because it has issues. The last issue was no video and now it is showing a 10sec clip from Sat at 9am in a loop. I am picking up a remote to control the power reset because I hate having to go up into...

    Cantonk 4MP Speed dome PT7DH20XH400

    How loud is it? I ask because I have a PTZ attached to a bedroom wall on the outside and I can hear it in the house when it moves.
