    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    I can only speak of myself, but I have an Ambient Weather Station WS-2902. I did not originally purchase it to be included into Blue Iris. It had other purposes back then. 1.) rain meter for my RainMachine irrigation system 2.) LUX meter to determine if the sun way up or down 3.) landscape...

    Yale alarm alerts?

    any smartphone alerts via app would have to come through the cloud in regards to iPhone and Android push notification servers. If the alarm box locally had the ability to send email / text message... depends if they allow 3rd party or once again, proprietary Yale servers to handle it all...

    Multiple Remote Location IPCams Setup

    Constructions Site #1 / Pole #1 has it's own ISP internet service from Construction Site #1 / Pole #2 ? If so, yes... can do Ubiquiti Ultra routers that do 4 port POE. If Pole #1 and Pole #2 share same ISP, you list 5 cameras but the Ultra router only has 1 WAN and 4 LAN ports. Hence, the...

    Camera Location by Garage

    I installed 2 x 5442 cameras underneath my left & right coach lights at 5' level. I was concerned about the glare from the lights. But have had no problems.

    For the BIT record... I just installed and used it over the weekend to include my weather station & macros on IP cameras. Yep, BIT still works for being 10 years old :)

    A Healthy Competitor - G6 Pro Turret

    Not impressed. Where both of these cameras set to default values? Or were there adjustments made? Something is amiss to be looking THAT bad with a 1/1.2" sensor. Well...not horrible ewww bad but for a $500 camera...bawd. Why is the gate itself looking so dark on the G6? Why can't even see...

    Analog upgrade to IP cameras with cable length/camera distance issues

    $2,000.00 for a 16 channel NVR? $300-$500 for IP cameras? I don't know what this HighWire gear is... maybe I don't want to know :) But Dahua:

    Analog upgrade to IP cameras with cable length/camera distance issues

    Ewww....the evil memory. We just gave up buying these type of fiber for business purposes. Besides, most clients was 6 or 12 strand, not 2. Usually end up simply getting indoor/outdoor fiber or Armored (similar to flex electrical conduit). Granted, the price is 2x or even 4x higher than what...

    Analog upgrade to IP cameras with cable length/camera distance issues

    I looked myself :) I think the previous owner of my company tried this exact brand out. Anyone in the future, be very wary. Looks great on paper. However, the stainless-steel tube came undone making sharp fiber cutting spaghetti in the conduit, and we had to start all over with something else.

    Analog upgrade to IP cameras with cable length/camera distance issues

    Just curious. These amazon fibers. What would they run for... 800' with singlemode? Would it just be 2 strands? 6? 12?

    Multiple Remote Location IPCams Setup

    I'd install Ubiquiti Unifi gateway modems (Cloud Gateway Ultra) at each location with the Ubiquiti flex mini's, use the built in Unifi VPN to your Ubiquiti Unifi gateway modem at your shop. For ease of use. And ease of future use elsewhere. Of course, would have to have the Inseego FX4100...
