Here are some examples of reflectorized tape to aid the focus. I don't really use that far left one in first pic, because it was for the 5231 Z12E. but looking in the dark back yard with the other Z4 bullet i needed to play with how I focused on that reflector tape until I found the setting...

I have a very bright LED street light that was updated 2-3 years ago from Sodium.....but it depends on how the car moves through that light. Some are going straight and some are turning. Some are moving away, and some are coming with headlights on. Headlights washout color night mode from some...

here's an example of one like mine. $289...

Welocome...I'm having a good time running my Dell Precision 3630 tower with a gtx 1060 and 32 GB of ram. i have 4 drives installed, 2 250GB SSD's ( 1 is a clone of C:\ every 2 hours) 1 8TB WD purz. and another 8 TB for storage of other data. 5 more years might be a stretch on my 8th Generation...

i'd surmise it could be the garage switch or it's power source. if it's nearing it's thruput capacity with current devices, that could do it. Is it a Gigabit poe switch on all ports?

note to self.....where is my window breaking tool now? grrr. My uncle was big on fire extinguishers, He had them everywhere. I think he saw some things in WWII that shaped this behavior as field medic in the Pacific theater on ships and landing crafts. I wonder how he got off course to end up...

this is outdoor rated. the sensor would be better suited to a 2MP camera. but since your area of interest is primarily daytime I presume, you could make this work....

USB powered cam? most of those are indoor cams. like the amcrest 841

Example for your " G" cam. These cars are 80 feet away from the lens. you'd be in better shape than I am. This 5442 model number is what Andy was using before he switched it to the IPC-B54IR-Z4E-S3. ( Model # is on the lower left of cam screen) The S3 i have heard has some improved hardware...

Camera K could certainly be a Color4k -T180. Cam H sounds good for starters. I think after about 4 years of doing this, I have had as many as 3 different cameras at a few locations. Cam G could also be a IPC-B54IR-Z4E-S3 since its a nice tight choke point. They are bit more forgiving for...

Mouse and Monitor might be a good idea....perhaps the credentials your laptop was using to login, are below admin?

I remember the 2nd time my Mom's house had a close hit, and Cable modem got fried( again) and carried the juice to the computer and killed/ or incapacitated the dell Inspiron tower. Naperville IL gets some hellacious lightning as I recall. I think we had her buy a bunch of surge protectors...

@TonyR is the resident experienced " Ride the Lightning" guy.

they really could back off on the annoyance style ads here. all they do for me is make me shut the web page on my phone, swear like a School bus driver, and wait until i get home to use the Ad-blocked browser on Chrome. Too bad really...there are ways of serving ads in a more pleasing fashion.

You could fry components the new NVR if you hook up any of the cameras that stopped working after the lightning strike. I would test them somehow first.

@wittaj did you make another profile and logon here to tell what you really think about Reo's? :)

40 yards? Not sure but it's at least 100 feet or more from camera to the middle of the intersection. I really like the Z4 cams. they do a marvelous job on the west side of the house. I havent switched back to Summer settings yet, so my night color wasnt so crisp... You see my Cameras...

Or more than one camera. one camera cannot be asked to do multiple jobs well. I have found that at my previous Condo Mgmnt job, that each camera performs best when it's setup for 1 job. Then it performs its task well. Yes you will get some secondary information from it, but it really needs to be...

if you exceed the bandwidth of the NVR with 8mp cams....you can get error msgs as well. When i move cams around on NVR i have had to try different approaches with different brands. @bigredfish is the GURU on NVR settings. I usually can do a manual search in the upper box of that NVR screen you...

Run a couple of ubquiti (or other brand) wireless bridges, the 2 i have going are still running on year 3. they come right back after power outages. no way to dig a line under asphalt, so options were slim. 350-400 foot distance. signal even kept going when the telephone pole fell and I lost...

You can do 4 and 4 if you go thru the right steps and realize you'll have 4 addresses in the 10.x.x.x range and 4 addresses in the 192.168.x.x range.

constant recording

maybe a piece of reflective tape in a not too unsightly manner, placed on the door, would help if its in a low light situation,

is the camera looking from the outside or inside? is there a light bulb on the garage door opener?

Perhaps a cardboard cut out of a human silouhette ( sp) taped to the inside of the garage door would trigger it. Or even just a black piece of cardboard taped to the door would be seen as motion.... I had some trouble with motion events on the door as well. from the inside. but when i 86'ed the...

I wonder if they(the cameras) would connect to a dedicated Wireless router, and then plug the NVR into the router..... and see if you can limp along like that for awhile
