    Smart Switch Mod: Flashing “add-on” Lamp as a CAMERA DETERRENT

    Today, more cameras are promoted as an effective deterrent agains intruders, just by adding a built-in lamp (even sirens). I had tried both low-voltage spot/sirens, but the effectiveness is desirable. Besides, you will need to add a separate power supply for both units (volts/amps for hi-power)...

    Active deterrence or TiOC 2.0?

    In my opinion, the included spot lights within cameras may need an external “add-on” to became as a real deterrent, including lights or siren (tioc). Unfortunately, it may requiere an internal modification inside the camera, voiding the warranty. For those diy, included find a video (old treat)...

    The Imou 2nd generation (Sense) is no longer compatible with DMSS/PSS. Imou is now totally independent from Dahua, especially since both Companies have separate WiFi ecosystem lineup product’s

    AI Cameras for Community Security

    Yes, is true, but my thinking as a micro regarding a “community surveillance”, is like a “venture” between several neighbor’s, to invest/install in cameras at certain areas which could compromise the security between them (crossing between patios, suspects cars, etc.). Could be an street with...

    AI Cameras for Community Security

    Sorry for asking, but what should be considered as the “best practice” behind the community security? It looks like as more neighbors got access to watch the premises, the better, including turning spot lights after someone crossing protected zones (smart AI detection), or being able to alert...

    the Imou first version PT (Cruiser4MP) won’t allow access to GUI settings (Port-80), but not sure if new model will. Better stay away, but if PT is your requirement, consider Dahua PT (5MP) DH-SD2A500HB-GN-AW-PV-S2

    Dahua WiFi over Imou Series

    Dahua is my only brand, but when inexpensive wireless devices are required, Imou is my first choice. That includes the 4MP PT Cruiser (V1) and 2MP Turret (V1). Testing the Dahua 5MP PT A500, it surpasses both in terms of detection. The Dahua include the “IVS Smart Plan” (not sure about the new...

    Dahua will no longer support Imou?

    Read in another forum that Dahua already sold Imou, an as a separate Company (Imou), an it will no longer be supported (Onvif will be the only option). If that is the case, DMSS should not work. I understand Dahua is already promoting it’s wireless series (aka Imou style), approaching the same...

    Security Camera Locations? (With house pics)

    If cabling could be an issue, depending on the location of the existing network 1-gang boxes (normally horizontally installed at 18” above floor level), my proposal will be installing the camera on a “back-to-back”, while using the existing data cable for poe/data. You may still add switches and...

    Security Camera Locations? (With house pics)

    Nice house. It looks like the walls are in cement (?). If that is the case, how you plan to “run” the cameras cables (CAT6)? Do your house include a centralized box (hub), to “run” all data/cable distribution for different areas? If included, please comment. The garage (upper right side) include...

    Cameras for viewing screens
