    Settings for Best Night Performance

    Found a cam that let's me set those parameters! And adjust the shutter/exposure!

    Settings for Best Night Performance

    No, can't adjust shutter/exposure. I'll try these other settings though. Thanks!

    Settings for Best Night Performance

    I am at the low end of the spectrum here. So, please don't holler at me. I have a couple of cameras on my garage facing an alley. I do not go with the recommended higher end / better cameras because it is just too easy for them to be stolen/damaged. I live in a neighborhood where...

    So, after years of screwing around with grommets and tape trying to position these pin hole cameras: Those clever folks over in China finally started making these "mini" cameras, somewhat close to the WyzeCam small box style: So now, all I have to do is stick a small metal plate where I...

    Add non-camera rtsp audio source

    I have created an rtsp stream from a powered mic I have attached to a linux system. It is essentially a non-camera rtsp audio source (no video). I want to add it to Blue Iris as an audio source. When I add the rtsp url to Blue Iris, I get "No Signal, RTSP Bad 400 Request". And no audio, even...

    Hidden SpyCam Install Suggestions

    Almost a year later, I am finally re-visiting the first install. After running 24/7 for 11 months, the first camera finally gave out. I replaced it using the new mount scenario discussed here earlier: After nearly a year, I can say that having the cameras has definitely been worthwhile. In...

    I have a total of 3 spy cameras mounted. The other two are in my garage door, facing the alley. While it is a pretty nice neighborhood, a lot of traffic flows through that alley, with a lot of people who don't live in the neighborhood passing through. We therefore suffer common big city...

    I thought about mounting the junction box angled down, but to me that just looked too obvious to the onlooker. Also, again in my mind, the closer you move the camera to where the traffic is, the higher the chance of someone noticing and recognizing it for what it is, and attempting to vandalize...

    Yes, for sure. I'm going to reconfigure it in the next few days.

    Oops, @pozzello, I take that back. The encoder software does support 90 degree "corridor" view. Will try! Thanks for the suggestion!

    The encoder software supports 180 degree "flip", but not 90 degrees. The camera does not have night vision, but the night time video is eerily clear with the light source above the trash bin.

    Hidden SpyCam Install Suggestions

    I knew it was a good idea to post this question here. Your suggestions lead me to a possible solution: I can place the cable gland tip inside the junction box cable opening, then angle the pinhole inside the tip. It's neater, doesn't require a bunch of tape on outside and has a...

    Sounds great. I've already got a couple of Besder POEs that are pretty similar to black bullets in cost and performance, and a couple of WyzeCams. I didn't use them because I wanted the camera relatively hidden, which is why I went with the pinhole in the junction box. I'd just like a better...

    Hi, I have installed a spy camera in a regular junction box on the side of our garage. I am doing this to out the miscreants who leave the trash bin lids up and the scofflaws who dump their trash in our bin. I have this camera: The first way I tried it looks good, but it doesn't capture...

    Using Synology as a VPN server questions

    I know I am two years late to this, but I just wanted to add a comment in case someone else with this question happens to find this thread. I, too, have both ASUS routers and a Synology NAS. I have been researching VPN, but am not very knowledgeable on the subject, so I wanted to find the...
