    Attention Wansview IP camera users!

    They must have made the firmware on the W9 similar to the older models. /live/ch0 ... is the same RTSP path for the older models before their cloud software. Kinda cool that you can use RTSP again, but I still wouldn't trust their security.

    Feasibility of license plate reading at my house

    You could attempt using a wireless PTP bridge with products similar to Ubiquiti, that use wireless base stations but are consistent and not actual WIFI SSID APs. Only thing would be that providing power to the remote base station would require 12v Solar or PoE somewhere. Solar would be a tough...

    Public Static IP

    This is kind of off topic, but how rare is it for an ISP to dish out static IPs as part of the regular service? I have noticed that mine has only changed when the mac address on the router changed due to me getting a new one. I have had the same public ip address since I got my service 2 years...

    Attention Wansview IP camera users!

    Wansview cameras are all cloud based now if I remember correctly. They stopped production of the W2 and W3 a whole ago and released their horrible cloud exclusive camera which doesn't have an RTSP server or Onvif compatibility. This is next to Zmodo level of sus.

    2 Steps are Just Too Much

    Even though the package was light... it ain't Frisbee golf practice man. Also, before you ask this is a camera that i'm hosting for a close relative, that's why it has less than ideal placement.

    Proper recording / motion settings for blizzards?

    This can be the same with rain, usually I have zone crossing set up and just record continuously because it obviously can be unreliable sometimes. Zone crossing usually gets the job done for high traffic areas, yet again you may just need a profile to disable triggering all together when these...

    Neighbors motion detector lights setting off false alarms

    Edit: I didn't see that this was posted in the Dahua section, Oops.

    Neighbors motion detector lights setting off false alarms

    It depends on what NVR or camera firmware you are using. It sounds like you are using a camera's built in motion detection, there should be a grid option of some sort to deselect parts of the image for motion detection.

    Blue Iris Failure

    I had this problem till the 2nd to last update. I fixed it by reinstalling the service then setting a password as directed, it works fine for me now.

    Postal truck vs basketball hoop

    I'm more surprised that that mirror on the back took the weight of a basketball hoop, they didn't mess around when mounting that thing. (I'm assuming the hoop was weighted down)

    Been Broken Into

    What I would recommend for your situation is getting a wireless home security setup i.e: Simplisafe, the new Ring system, or something that isn't hardwired into your home. We all know how much a waste of money built in home security systems are so this may be a great option for you. I'm pretty...

    Why don't TinyCam be on iOS

    I was thinking of the background capabilities that iOS could do. iOS doesn't really like background apps and can be tricky when locking the screen. It isn't impossible but hard to find an app that is like android ip cam apps, such as ip webcam or tiny cam (android).

    New South Wales Australia rolls out cell phone detection cameras. It's for your own good.

    I like the idea of stopping or ticketing people who use their phone in the car. I can't stand it when people do that, I almost got hit by someone lane drifting last week.

    Why don't TinyCam be on iOS

    A lot of functions needed for a stand alone ip camera app cannot be used in ios. This is because the OS is locked down with barely any background access and functionality for app developers. An exact port to ios just would not work without jail breaking it/ rooting the phone. Apple's TOS states...

    "localhost" not working as camera ip address

    UPDATE!: I have fixed the issue. For anyone else having this issue with Yawcam please read the following. To setup a YawCam stream on Blue Iris v5, the exact format of the IP address box in camera settings should be; "xxx.xxx.x.x:port". The problem originally was that I was getting an IP address...

    "localhost" not working as camera ip address

    My Blue Iris server is on the same host computer as a Yawcam stream. When I try to setup the Yawcam stream as a camera through BI, it gives me a the error, "HTTP 12029". For the IP address, I have used both loopback ipv4 IP addresses (127.0.0.1 and localhost) as the IP address as well as the...

    Attention Wansview IP camera users!

    New Wansview IP cameras use a firmware where you must use their cloud service, If you have the older RTSP and HTTPS based cameras (Models W3 and W2), Do not update the firmware if you wish to keep compatibility with 3rd party software such as Blue iris, Ispy, or Zone minder. The ONVIF function...

    Be careful with essential oils. I have heard a lot of insects are Anti Vax. They will be all over that thing! I’m joking, the IR will attract the bugs at night, as Mat200 said.

    Cpu and Ram alert at low numbers

    My BI is alerting me that my CPU or RAM usage is too high. The weird thing is that the readings are low numbers. Is there a default threshold or setting that I can change to set the alert to a higher amount? BI Server specs: BI Version: 4.8.6.3 w32 RAM: 16 GB CPU: Ryzen 7 1700x OS: Windows 10

    What's a good wireless outdoor camera?

    Your right, wired cameras are better. I just have this location on my property where wifi is the only practical way even though it's not the most reliable.
