    Eclipse April 8th. 2024

    If one were in a good viewing area, would it be possible to record this event on camera without welding glass taped to the lens? I've got several unmounted cameras that i could mount and sacrifice if it was going to destroy the camera. This map shows that I will be in viewing area. National...

    HFW5231E-Z12E image degraded

    I have a HFW5241E-Z12E that has had a smudge on the lens cover since day one. You can see the smudge on the left just above the LPR camera name. I had it down today and that smudge is actually Kanji writing on the glass. If you look at the second picture, you can see a curved scratch in the...

    DAHUA IPC cameras web interface connection

    Looks like your subnet is 192.168.33.* The camera configuration is 192.168.1.*. Change the cameras to the 33 or if you do not have anything else on that network, it might be easier to change the AP to 192.168.1.1

    Random Picture(s) -- StevenFromTexas

    So you got them littering on camera, got their plates and sent that info to TXDOT and they sent them a warning letter and a litter bag? Is that standard practice? A while back a Medina county commissioner found garbage thrown on the side of a side road at the bottom of a 15 foot cliff (with all...

    I need some help using Zosi C611 cam without official app

    I just did a quick search for "Zosi SDK" and there was a promising github page and a subredit. I did not pursue further but you might find valuable info or post your questions on the subredit. Hopefully it is an active community.

    Fixed My New PTZ5A4Mx25's sloppy installation. How should I Fix this Better?

    PFA120 is the way to go in my opinion. I think that using flashing is going to be problematic in the long term. The PFA120 is not so heavy to cause problems with your mount. Personally, I would mount the box directly to the mast without the angle standoff. 3M 33 tape does not hold up well to...

    I just spent over 4 minutes rooting for that poor guy! I can imagine his frustration for an hour of dealing with that.

    Blue Iris Screen Flashing

    Next couple of days are going to be frigid! Not good man lift weather! Looking at your other thread, you did a good job of wire tying the cable up the tower. Note that wire ties UV degrade over several years. It is hard to tell what the backside of the camera looks like. I prefer unistrut to the...

    Blue Iris Screen Flashing

    How long is the cable in the spool? A Cat5e signal degrades after 300ft. If you have a 1000 ft spool, I would go ahead and finish the run so you eliminate the excess cable length. Also, we use POE switch generically but that camera has a peak power usage of 21w. It calls for POE+. Make sure...

    Blue Iris Screen Flashing

    Your camera is pretty high up. Be careful with the ladder! There are things you can do from the ground before you head up. You can plug into a different POE port, use a different POE power supply, use the config tool to see if it defaulted back to the original IP address, use binoculars to...

    Blue Iris Screen Flashing

    Does it do the same thing if blue iris is not running? It looks like a popup is persistently coming up and a popup blocker is shutting it down. Some programs are allowed to display on top of other running programs. Maybe BI then says "Not on my watch!" Like @looney2ns said above. Reboot and...

    Surly Guy Checking Back In... New Cams, New Questions

    Far from the expert but SD is speed dome. There is no need to change it or any way afaik. I think that the front of the dome is set at 0 degrees so 90 would be to the right, 270 to the left. It is not compass point unless the front is pointed to north. I haven't set up a pattern yet.

    Camera reliability?

    @JohnKol I commend you for sticking around for 6 weeks all the while getting beat up. Trolls tend to lob a comment and then slink away to their parents basement. I don't think it is fair to call you a Troll. You put up with a lot of abuse. This discussion avoided me when it was volatile but I...

    Camera 8 > 4 mp.

    @wittaj I have read your responses to this question a dozen times and believe it is also in the WIKI. I imagine that when you say "the same 1/2.8" sensor" you mean the same size and not same model sensor. If we were to look at the board on a quality camera, I suspect we would see different...

    Merry Christmas And Happy New Year!

    Andy, If you do not mind me asking, what camera do you carry on vacation? These pictures are phenomenal! I also hope you do not mind that I used the first one as my PC wallpaper. I do not know your religious beliefs but I see God in every one of these. Thanks for sharing!

    Top of the Tower

    Wow! I don't think the guy with the yellow harness was tied off and the orange harness was tied off to the rail. Only approved time off points are on either side of the control panel. Either way, standing on the rail is a no no!
