    Daylight Savings. How did everyone's cameras do?

    I had one camera misconfigured and didn't do the shift. All the others made the change fine. My big PTZ SD8C845FG-HNF did the change fine, but has locked up and won't accept PTZ commands through the web interface. This happened the last DST also, so I am guessing it is a bug. I had to...

    Close Call

    Lightning hit our neighbors roof last night. She said they were sitting around the fireplace when they heard an explosion that knocked one of their family members literally across the room. He couldn't hear anything after. Started a fire which was quickly put out due to quick response from...

    Reset camera vs Restart camera vs Reboot camera

    I am having connections issues on a PtP ubiquiti wireless connection. When the remote cameras lose contact for a minute and the connection comes back, one or two random cameras dont reset their connection with Blue Iris and I am seeing no video or only one stream connected with a yellow...

    What is this little hole on top of 5442?

    I am thinking about putting one of these in a fake rock at the front door walkway. Didn't know what that little thing is and if I can cover it up or not.

    Blue Iris Log: Signal: restored

    I've recently put many of my outdoor cameras on a Nanostation-5AC --- LiteAP-GPS wireless link and I've been trying to troubleshoot drop outs. The dropouts are not just on Blue Iris but are affecting all of the remotely connected devices. Anyway, I am able to see in the log when the cameras...

    Buried Cat5 to front of driveway

    We are doing a landscaping project and the plan calls for a sprinkler zone down to the front of the house where I want to place LPR camera. Distance is about 180 ft -- see pic. Was thinking it would be nice to run cat5 in the trench where they are putting the sprinkler pipe which would make...

    Weathercam FTP image resolution

    Not sure exactly where to post this, because I'm not sure where the problem lies. I have a 4K color cam as a weather cam that is pushing images to Ambient Weather by FTP. Ambient creates an mpg from the images which is kind of cool. There is a problem with the FTP images where the image...

    SD8C845FG-HNF 8MP 45x 1/1.2'' CMOS Dual Light Fusion Electronic Defog Network PTZ Camera

    Was thinking about this new PTZ for covering front street. IR range is limited around 250 meters but I think I’m good. Street is max 300 feet distance. What I find odd is the white light illuminator. Wouldnt it shine down like a spotlight ? Not sure I would like that but maybe. Maybe there...

    Monopole with fake tree

    I live in a pine forest and there a plenty of cell towers that look like pine trees. I was wondering if there are any smaller versions for sale for residential use, say 10-15 feet. No luck Googling. I'd like to use them to hide point to point wifi and cameras in the yard. I guess the...
