    God I hate lightning....

    Around 60 yes. Fortunately they seem to survive these close strikes. Won't know for sure until new hardware arrives later this week. When the high-port switches first became affordable I loaded up on a few of the 24 ports. With each storm, I'd lose a few ports here and there (never any...

    God I hate lightning....

    Had a nearby strike that took out 11 switches and fiber-to-ethernet adapters. At least that's what I counted so far. The problem is that all of the distant ethernet runs have no power - so I have to use ethernet (vs fiber) to have power at the cameras. Some runs are approaching 500' long...

    It did - thanks!

    For the $200USD price, that's not bad at all. Unfortunately I have no external (white) lighting at my intended location, so still unsure about whether the IR based night image quality would be a disqualifier. Your image is definitely a good data point, though.

    Thanks for the update. Any word on the picture quality? Especially at night?

    Is there a way to make certain cameras private?

    YES! That's what I was looking for. That functionality has changed a couple of times and It's been a while since I last used it - so I'd forgotten all about. Thank you. I have about 10 groups now... so the organization is good, but I didn't have a single group with everything but private...

    Is there a way to make certain cameras private?

    [sheepishly] yes. And the hard limit of 64 is real.

    Is there a way to make certain cameras private?

    That's what I was hoping to avoid. For now I'm giving them limited access to existing groups. No real need for all but the private ones, other than curiosity to see what the easiest way is to accomplish the goal. It'd be nice to have a "all cameras except these" option.

    Is there a way to make certain cameras private?

    My kids are getting to the age where they have figured out how to get their tablets to the LAN IP and are/were logging in w/o credentials since I had disabled LAN authentication. I've changed that, and created them their own user accounts. It's been a while since I created new groups, but...

    SD59225U factory resets with power failure...

    24V? Ugh. I didn't realize that. Yes, everything is solid copper. zero CCA in my system anywhere.

    SD59225U factory resets with power failure...

    Not yet. I have several of the PoE+ to 12V/2A splitters with barrel plug that I can use at the current installation location if it turns out that solves the problem. I've used those to power other cameras that took lightning damage to the internal PoE modules (where they work fine on a wall...

    SD59225U factory resets with power failure...

    I've had this camera for many years. Recently it's been rebooting randomly on a pretty frequent basis - sometimes in as little as 2 minutes. While reboots are not unusual (it's always done every once and a while), the loss of time, presets, and any other configuration variables is new. I've...

    Integrating Blue Iris, Pushover, Node-RED, and Amazon Rekognition

    I am using the HTTP REQUEST node to GET URL http://BISERVER/admin?camera=a248&trigger. When I put that URL in a browser, it triggers just fine. And it USED to work fine as a node in HASSIO. But sometime this month, it no longer worked. Instead, I'm getting a debug payload: And it...

    Anyone seen the IP4M-S2112EW-AI Amcrest/Dahua camera in the wild?

    I'll take what I can get :) I actually ordered it when it was released, but then got cold feet. I probably will end up buying if the reports continue to come in positive.

    Curious how your night performance is. Can you send a couple of captures?

    Anyone seen the IP4M-S2112EW-AI Amcrest/Dahua camera in the wild?

    It showed $219 when I looked at it, but there's a 10% off coupon... that's what gets it down to the advertised price.

    Anyone seen the IP4M-S2112EW-AI Amcrest/Dahua camera in the wild?

    Yeah, I really just need it to be able to ID people at my gate, and communicate with them. When UPS/FedEx send sub drivers who don't know the gate code (or who struggle reading the instructions on the gate), it'd be nice to give them verbal instructions... First world problems. I have plenty...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Many months ago, I (and others) was experiencing green video for some reason. At the time, the workaround was to disable hardware acceleration - which I did. That is apparently a global setting on brave (that gets applied to all profiles). So switching profiles, using private tabs, etc...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Yes, that does seem like a bit of a conundrum. Short of being able to force a static arrangement of cameras in a group, whereby the last row of cameras is above the toolbar controls, I can't see of a one-size fits all solution. I thought maybe a different gesture could bring up the hidden...

    Blue Iris UI3

    That would be just like the BI app. It, too, won't let you swipe left/right to get to next camera/group unless fully zoomed out. I'd take that as an option if you're willing to make it available.

    Blue Iris UI3

    If you're open to enhancement requests, I have one too :) When I'm looking at a group view (especially all cameras), I cannot select the bottom two rows of cameras since the toolbar pops up. Oddly, sometimes, when the tools are hidden and I tap one of those cameras, it punches through and the...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Lately my client PC running Brave and UI3 238 begins pegging my CPU for the tab that has UI3 open. It's quiet for the first minute or so, but if leaving any active UI3 tab open, the CPU fan starts to prepare for takeoff. SOunds like a hairdryer. It didn't used to do that. Maybe it's time to...

    Pretty sure that was my last order before switching to all subsonic. I'm running Remington .22LR 40gr Copper Plated Hollow Point Subsonic ammo now.

    Finally popped bobcat that was snatching my chickens...

    If I keep the stock 25 rd mag packed, I usually get a single failure to feed using the subsonics. I haven't fired bulk HV ammo in a couple of years, and honestly cannot remember having issues with the stock mag. I did buy some aftermarket mags, and had all sorts of issues with them, so I've...

    Finally popped bobcat that was snatching my chickens...

    I've been interested in the 300blk but haven't had the time to do much research. I like the concept of a heavier subsonic round to up the kinetic force at impact. Thanks for the nudge.

    Home Assistant (HASSIO). TBH, I'm not that well versed with it. My brother helps me get it tweaked. It's running on a virtual box (vs. a Pi).
