    Alert on simple contact closure. Any suggestions?

    I've automated a virtual doorbell using a Shelly and Home assistant. There is a dahua integration with HA. With the camera onboard face detection I activate the Shelly relay to drive a cheap eBay doorbell. Works a treat.

    P2P isn't the same as Cloud and here is why

    I wonder how long before these manufacturers start charging monthly subscription fees for their services?. Hoover up millions of customers and then announce a fee.

    Are you open to other brands?. UNV are becoming popular here. Also consider dahua from Andy here. Go hawks!

    Be careful if you activate PTP on your NVR

    P2P was implemented by manufacturers to make their systems easy to set up. It was driven by marketing and sales. The benefit was to them over the end users!

    Recommend settings for encoding & image for 5mp Uniview camera in low light

    Try changing the scene type to outdoor or similar. The starlight scene is possibly trying too hard to get a bright image at the expense of image quality.

    P2P Safety & Secure?

    Just about every router under the sun would block that ip address on an outbound interface, unless there is a misconfiguration? Any manufacturer coding their device to do that appears stupid.

    Adding Old Night Owl Analog Cameras to Blue Iris through Axis P7214

    Pushover Delayed Notifications

    I get my alerts in about 8-10 seconds. My cameras send the notifications directly via the PO supplied email address. Works quite well but I think some type of API configuration if it was possible directly in the camera would have been quicker. I've got some python code on a PC that sends via PO...

    LPR Fighting Crime - IPC Member?!?

    I'm always concerned that providing footage identifies your property and perps might return in retaliation. We don't have armed deterence here in Aus.

    P3255 Mid Span requirements

    That camera has very modest power requirements. You shouldn't need anything too powerful. Class 4 Poe is around the 15-25watt mark. A standard poe+ switch will power it ok. Are you using a non Poe switch and why are you using a midspan?. How long is the cable run?
