    Vigilant Solutions VSR-60-02MP1 IP Camera IPC262ER9-X10DU 24V, 1.5A, 50/60Hz.

    Here's a silly experiment I ran: I am considering putting a pickleball court in my backyard, and I wondering whether these cameras could be of any use as "line judge" cameras, e.g. to determine whether a ball is in or out using instant replay with a iPad and BI. Then I found out that the max...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    But you will need to use the app at least once, to turn on HTTP and other services. Or at least I did with mine, a year+ ago, as it came OOtB without HTTP enabled. But I haven't needed it since.

    BIG Owl on my Trail

    4 Coyotes on Thoroughbred Trail 11/22/25 I'm linking to the middle of the video, because there's plenty of less-exciting footage on either side of the link. One has a mild limp. S/he can walk on it, but not run on it.

    BIG Owl on my Trail

    Adult Coyote Howling with Juvenile 11/13/25 I cut out some dead air, so the rabbit was never that close to getting eaten. And I need to fix the mic gain to get rid of that annoying clipping. But when they're this loud it sounds like they're in my bedroom!

    5.9.9 - January 17, 2025 - More Pre-6.0 feature releases

    When I updated to .99, my actual performance suffered, not the reported CPU usage. In fact my reported CPU usage didn't change at all, but scrub/seek performance was unusable until I reverted back to .96.

    My seek/scrub/playback performance also went massively downhill with .99, although oddly enough, my reported CPU usage didn't go up. But this is in UI3, so maybe the CPU usage reporting isn't as accurate. In any case I reverted back to .96, and now everything is good again. Will wait for 6.0.1.

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    I have a very similar unit, too, from the same manufacturer. It's been working fine since January 2021. It stopped working a few months ago, but I traced that to a bad DC power coupler, and now it's working again. But the mounting solution is clunky. I vastly prefer the square Tendelux models...

    I don't think it's a big deal today, but I suspect its importance will grow over time: CPU-agnosticism is, in general, a good thing, if done properly. In the best cases, there is no CPU-specific code in the code base, which makes it easier to subsequently compile the code later for other...

    BIG Owl on my Trail

    Those cameras have been there for awhile, and they're the older Amcrest IP5M-T1179EW models. I have at least one of the newer Amcrest IP5M-T1277EW-AI units lying around, and those have far better performance at night. I also have an IPC-T24IR-AS AndyCam, but I haven't swapped everything out...

    Coyote with Prey on Thoroughbred Trail 10/23/25 I think I see a long, bushy tail to our left, which suggests a squirrel, but there's also something sticking out to our right, which is ????

    BIG Owl on my Trail

    5 Coyotes on Thoroughbred Trail 11/02/25 I haven't seen 5 together since the pups were little. In fact I thought only 2 pups had survived. But here we are, with a stable population. Any guesses as to which ones are adults, yearlings, and this year's pups?

    Can't most installers probe for the presence/version of a required framework, and then prompt the user to install said framework at installation time?

    Football field security -- camera layout/design

    At one end of the spectrum: "Mr. Skip Jones, father of Chip Jones, quarterback, see that camera up there? It's recording, so don't do anything stupid." At the other end: "If it please the court, this 100x zoomed video clearly shows that Mr. Skip Jones is not wearing his contact lenses, and...

    Football field security -- camera layout/design

    Yup. Here's a still photo through an 10.5mm Nikkor (Nikon) fisheye, straight out of my camera: and here are my cropping options after de-fishing it in Photoshop to make straight lines straight: and the final crop that I ended up using: You can see much of the original image I've lost...

    Newbie here, coming from dreaded Reolink. Educate me

    Yes, their marketing is utter crap, and bordering heavily on fraudulent, but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Their doorbell cameras are a good value, and I've been using my PTZ BeeCamera for nearly 7.5 years, although not without issues. I've replaced a few of my Reolink turrets...
