    Smart Switch Mod: Flashing “add-on” Lamp as a CAMERA DETERRENT

    Today, more cameras are promoted as an effective deterrent agains intruders, just by adding a built-in lamp (even sirens). I had tried both low-voltage spot/sirens, but the effectiveness is desirable. Besides, you will need to add a separate power supply for both units (volts/amps for hi-power)...

    Active deterrence or TiOC 2.0?

    AI Cameras for Community Security

    Sorry for asking, but what should be considered as the “best practice” behind the community security?

    RTMP STREAM to YouTube outdoor CCTV

    the Imou first version PT (Cruiser4MP) won’t allow access to GUI settings (Port-80), but not sure if new model will. Better stay away, but if PT is your requirement, consider Dahua PT (5MP) DH-SD2A500HB-GN-AW-PV-S2
