So if we placed an order on Amazon, do we PM a screenshot of the order for the tickets? Or do only orders through the direct store qualify?

So you’re just tying it to the existing structures electrical ground? You are NOT pounding in a ground rod and connecting the Ethernet surge protector to an EARTH ground? I’ve been trying to get this answer, and everyone just says grounding it, but that term is unfortunately too vague / broad...

Has anyone used the Dahua 4MP pinhole camera? I tried searching here for the model # for the older 2MP variant and this 4MP one but nothing came up. I didn’t see it for sale on Andy’s Ali store or Amazon store, and a few other random sellers on AliExpress...

Yea I was curious about that as well and one of the reasons I moved on. Not knowing how much it was actually using was frustrating as I wanted to see how it compared to others.

Thanks for all the feedback. Going to grab some of the CMVision ones and give those a go.

Thanks for the details / confirmation. Seems like it’s worth taking the plunge. One last question, do you know if you can override the photo sensor so it can be controlled externally? Planning on driving these based on home assistant.

Yea that was the exact one I was looking at (the blaster) and half the reviews said most of the LEDs burned out after a few months to a year. Have you had any issues like that? For the little spot one, half the reviews said it didn’t do anything past 15ft. Has that been your experience?

One of my outdoor cameras really needs some help with light. I’m looking to add an IR illuminator but I’m really struggling to find one that doesn’t have reviews that are trash, or is recommended within at least the last 3 years. The FAQs here are recommendations from 2018 and I have to imagine...

Shows as 170 for me? Link? Loryta IPC-T5442TM-AS 3.6mm Fixed Lens 4MP Starlight+ WDR IR Eyeball AI Network Camera English Version https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07S47VXGY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_KLKaGbCP2KFNA

Just got bit by this as well. None of my cameras were recording for the last 4 days. Downgraded to 5.4.3 and everything is now working as it should.

Downgraded to 5.4.3 and disabled automatic updates and everything is now working again. Thanks for making me aware of that thread. I’ll keep following that to see what ends up happening and if they get the ONVIF issues sorted.

Everything has been working fine for months. No blue iris updates, camera firmware updates, windows updates, settings changes. I noticed a few days ago that I hadn’t had an alert or a clip saved in 2 days. I logged in and everything looked fine, the triggers were all still there, ONVIF was...

To the above poster, while I agree with you, this thread is specific to doorbells. Any other opinions? I am in the same boat and every thread seems to sum up to “it’s ok, not great” so they’re all full of compromises. So which one has the least compromises?

Thanks bigredfish. I've updated the FW and going to see if it continues to exhibit the behavior; if it does I'll try a different port on the switch or pull it down and use a POE injector and see if it still does it. One clarification to your statement above, the main problem here is under...

I have had an IPC-HDW5442TM-AS installed inside for 2 months now without issues and love the camera. Went to check the camera last night and it was pitch black and the IR wasn't on. I can still make out the light on the microwave and slight glare from the windows, but the IR was not on. I...

Will do, thanks! EDIT: messaged Andy and he already messaged back and had some in stock. Already a fantastic customer experience

How often does Andy get new stock in? Was hoping to get a 2.8 but they’re out of stock. I can get it off amazon right now, but don’t want to pay an extra $20 if he gets new ones in somewhat frequently.
