    Door Checker

    It was warm last night at 20 F. But had been in the single digits and lower for most of the week. He did check most of the cars on the block then went across the street to check more. Did not stop by our place as there is a lot of outside lighting that seems to, at this point, discourage...

    Door Checker

    Door checker at 4 AM Monday. One would think that with a van marked as "Locksmith" with large letters would not be a prime target. Dahua HFW-5242H-Z6E-MF (8-48 mm -- 1/1.8 -- 2 MP) B/W with IR. Video from BI at 60 megs reduced to 2.9 megs with Shutter Encoder.

    Dahua 5442T-ZE at 70-100 ft - tuning limit or upgrade needed?

    T The 5442 is a set the zoom once and leave it at that setting once the desired field of view is set. A PTZ however, is designed to follow, zoom in/out and focus without operator intervention. Dahua does have a number of cameras that are designed for PTZ use. They are much more costly than...

    Anyone understand how the BI Time Lapse setting work

    Another option, for a future project, is to use Blue Iris to capture a JPEG image every minute as an example. Or on a time schedule of your choosing (m:ss.s) in place of the built in BI time lapse function. These individual JPEG images can be placed in the 'stored' BI folder in the 'record'...

    Audio Over IP, Use Camera Or Another Way?

    In the US it is called a 70.7 volt system although other voltages can be used. Used in PA systems to reduce power loss with long interconnections between speakers. The older systems used tapped transformers to set the power level to each speaker. Set some at 5 watts with others at 30 watts, etc.

    Anybody try Visible Wireless for cell phone provider?

    If you are looking for 'cheap' try US Mobile. They are a reseller with a choice of carrier using the major 3 firms. They also have plans for those that need data. In my case, our yearly cost for a cell phone with US Mobile is $72 per year all taxes and fees included. Only use unlimited talk...

    Alaska Bumper Cars

    The image does not show the road into the development across the street. The driver had their turn signal on and was making a left turn into their subdivision access road. The other driver was not paying attention (IMO) to traffic conditions.

    Alaska Bumper Cars

    Just a bit slippery on Friday. Snow and rain are never a good combination. The only thing injured were the cars as the posted speed limit is 25 MPH. A number that most folks in Alaska perceive to be only a suggestion.

    Alaska Snow

    A little cool for Florida. That makes one concerned for the orange and other temperature sensitive trees. Here, have a little bit of Florida in the house with a 7 foot grapefruit tree. Nice, when it blooms.....

    Alaska Snow

    Thanks Andy.... This is using an older Dahua 2831T-ZAS-S2 in color both for day/night as the deck has a light for night use for the snow video. Folks in Alaska would think that 30C is WAY too warm! Here is a short video of high school kids leaving a school bus at -4.4 C (24 F) on their way home.
