    Good IPCameras that support OpenIPC

    Where did we say opensource is unimportant? Where did we say we don't support opensource? Many folks here use GitHub extensively and you can't get any more opensource than that repository of opensource work. As @The Automation Guy said you are twisting what is being said to fit your...

    Windows login problem and reinstalling BI.

    Windows that comes installed on a computer is loaded with manufacturer bloatware. Simply refreshing/reinstalling with either their CDs or what is on the drive results in the same bloatware being put on. Using Media Creation Tool installs the cleanest version of Microsoft that is free from...

    The official "WTF" thread

    And of course to muddy it up even more with lots of finger pointing as to who has to pay.... MV Dali is a Singapore-registered container ship completed in 2015 and owned by Grace Ocean Pte Ltd. As of March 2024, the vessel was chartered by Maersk and managed and operated by Synergy Marine Group.

    I am sure the MAC users can chime in more, but that is one that I have seen mentioned quite a bit.

    That is what is implied by saying the company responsible...but they could also be self-insured and thus the company WOULD be responsible....

    Why isn't the company responsible for hitting it responsible for fixing it?

    LPR using Blue Iris vs. Synology DVA1622

    If you are already in the Synology platform and like that, then might as well stay with it. Blue Iris is great and you may try it and decide to get rid of Synology and switch LOL. BI has a trial so give a go and see if it fits your needs. I can say that as it relates to plates, BI isn't there...

    Optimized with substreams and now odd behavior

    It wouldn't hurt, but many cameras don't allow it. Give it a try and see what happens!

    Optimized with substreams and now odd behavior

    BI help file for motion detection says for best performance the FPS and iframes should match, so since most of us were already at that, when substreams were added we didn't have an issue. Substreams will switch to mainstream on an iframe, so if the iframe is higher than FPS, it will take longer...

    DH-SD3E405DB-GNY-A-PV1 - Warm light illumination conundrum

    Most of us here don't have our cameras connected to the internet and all the functions work just fine. Now if it is a cloud-based camera like a Ring, then yeah without internet it won't work, but this camera isn't dependent on the internet. It has been proven here time and again that certain...

    The official "WTF" thread

    Yeah an article I saw said they dropped the anchor and called in a Mayday and it saved so many lives - well how soon did they know they were in trouble - and unless it was a toll-bridge, how would cops get on both sides to block it off so fast after a mayday call? Sure there are other videos we...

    Unique security camera question

    The only thing cloud based systems offer is simplicity, ease of use by just scanning a QR Code. I guess one could argue longer retention time of motion activated events as well. But that simplicity comes at a cost of security...

    Unique security camera question

    Security cameras have very poor security - ironic isn't it LOL. The bad people do not care about your camera feed - they use the device as an entryway into your internet to send out DDoS attacks or snoop your network for banking info. Or use your ISP to look at kiddie porn and then your house...

    EmpireTech 2024 Spring Sales

    Thank you Andy for such a generous lottery that you have conducted several times a year. I go into it with low expectations of winning LOL and I view it as a nice bonus to reward some of your customers in a fun way. But more importantly, it brings all of us together in community for a day of...

    Unique security camera question

    In that case I would just look for some cheap Amcrest camera like this one. Now keep in mind even though it says wifi, you can hard-wire it. The next issue is how does it talk to the internet being connected to your computer instead of the router. And the follow-up is we don't recommend...

    Keeps Crashing Once a Day

    Yeah, the numbers game on drives is horrible - you don't get the rated capacity and then the freeboard that is needed. Also make sure that you don't have system restore turned on for that drive - that can "reserve" a large chunk of the hard drive that is unseen to you.

    Unique security camera question

    OK - how much light do you have outside as infrared will be a reflective mess and won't go thru the window unless you mount the camera directly to the window with no gap. What are you wanting to do - general take a look around and see what is going on or IDENTIFY and if IDENTIFY, at what...

    You now have to manually add them to the NVR via IP address for each camera.

    Unique security camera question

    You are in luck because many here won't recommend a wireless camera LOL. What is your use case? There are way too many wired options and without knowing the need/purpose is like recommending a vehicle to someone.
