I will be starting construction of a new house where there is no power, but there is cell service. I need a few decent solar/LTE cameras that I can place in the surrounding trees that so that I can get a live view whenever I want. I know the quality of these cams will not be even close to the...

I wanted to trigger some of my Kasa lights from Blue Iris when my cameras detect motion. There is no public API available but there are a few web pages that list enough of the protocol for what I need. I used this info to create an exe that that will turn on a light for n seconds and then turn...

Is there any advantage to using one or the other?

I lost the turret set screw for one of my Dahua 5442 cameras. I found a screw that works but it is big and ugly. Is there anywhere to get these screws?

Just read about the new H.266 video compression here and haven't seen any posts on it yet. Looks like it is not finalized yet and it is targeting 4k resolution and up. So I guess that means it will be a while before we see it in BI and Dahua cams. I figure some other members may have more info...

Just wanted to share my findings with the 2831. I have a couple 2231 turrets and they are great cams. I wanted a few more and the 2831s are only $20-$30 more so I thought I would try them. I figured I could always set them to 2MP and they would essentially be 2231s if I didn't want the extra...

My first two cameras are the 2MP IPC-HDW2231T-ZS-S2 and I like them a lot. I want to try something higher resolution so I was thinking about the 8MP IPC-HDW2831T-ZS-S2 but I haven't seen a review in here yet. The pro version that seems to come the closest is the IPC-HDW5831R-ZE. I am just...

This is the OEM version of the camera from Andy with V8.10.r.191123 firmware, which I think is the latest. I have been running this camera for a week and had no problems at all. Today I rotated the camera 90 degrees to get a better view and I went into the camera web page setup and set the...

I have searched the help files and threads and can't find an answer to this problem. I have "Reset detector when - Object size exceeds" set to 67%, and this works fine when my motion detector lights come on. But if someone walks through the camera view right after the motion detector lights come...

My porch is not set up very well for a camera. It is boxed in as you can see from the pic. The wire access is from the left wall only. I am currently thinking of mounting the camera (Dahua 2231) in the center above the door so I can get a good view of the entire porch. The only other option is...
