    NEW 1080P Wifi Video Doorbell!

    Thought I'd report that this camera has been rock solid down to -28 degrees C. I have a Trendnet Wifi cam on a protected deck that disappears after -12 or so.

    NEW 1080P Wifi Video Doorbell!

    The longer the circuit is closed, the longer the camera has no (or significantly less) power, so there's likely a safe limit before you start having the camera wig out or reboot.

    Blue Iris UI3

    My bad. I was using jpeg best quality, since the places I view the web interface from usually have good bandwidth. Saw another post that mentioned audio and h.264 and that clued me in. Works fine on those streams. Thanks

    Just upgraded from b19 (yeah I've been busy) saw the clip preview animation and said "holy crap!" That's awesome, thanks for the great work!

    You're thinking of pre-trigger frames.

    Blue Iris compatible doorbell/intercom/2 way audio

    Can you share how you got two way audio working? I haven't figured that one out yet.

    NEW 1080P Wifi Video Doorbell!

    Good point. I'm hoping they'll add a config option to disable the IR entirely. My Hik 2032 on the front of the garage has it disabled, and it's fine in the ambient light, though there's a bit more light out front.

    Here you go. White balance seems a bit wonky. Jacket is black. could be the streetlights being an odd colour.

    NEW 1080P Wifi Video Doorbell!

    Interesting, the glare is a fair bit worse tonight. I suspect that it's because there's less ambient light (no low cloud cover and falling blowing snow reflecting the street lights) so the IR may be brighter, hence more reflection.

    Well look at that! You can turn off the 2 second delay. Who knew? Thanks!

    NEW 1080P Wifi Video Doorbell!

    Can't say about the NVR, but don't see why it wouldn't. There is an app for the iPhone, and by default (as far as I know) it only alerts on doorbell press.

    Sample daytime video, semi-bright partly cloudy. Some fat old guy shoveling our snow :) Export from a Blue Iris clip, direct to mp4 no re-encoding.

    Audio is enabled and works on the mobile app and the Activex web interface in IE.

    Blue Iris UI3

    Maybe a dumb question, but now that I have my first camera with audio, should audio work on Chrome? I get the volume control when I'm on that camera, but sliding the slider doesn't give any audio, and the speaker icon stays on mute. Clicking the speaker icon makes the volume slider go up and...

    NEW 1080P Wifi Video Doorbell!

    Good point about the supervisor(s) they may have spotted it :) I don't think there are wedges, but to be honest I haven't gone through the box completely yet.

    NEW 1080P Wifi Video Doorbell!

    Ok, done my install. Overall, I'm pretty impressed. OK the software is a bit lacking, but image quality is good, build quality is good, and so far working very well with Blue Iris. The lens is very wide. For my application, I'd love to be able to turn it sideways and have software rotate the...

    NEW 1080P Wifi Video Doorbell!

    Received mine yesterday, will install tonight. No wonder shipping to Canada is so outrageous, the box is about 3 times bigger than it needs to be.

    PoE "oooppppssss"

    I left a Hikvision 2032 bullet outside and failed to weatherproof the network connector. The connector wound up in some very wet snow conditions and the camera died. I replaced the corroded connector, but no go. Then powered it from 12v, and it works fine. I did crack it open and visually...

    Why do all Dahua camera IPs default to 192.168.1.XXX?

    Here's how I handle it, for any device that comes with a static address (cameras, printers, anything) Plug device into network. Configure my computer to have a static address of whatever my normal DHCP address is, say 192.168.0.101 Add a second IP address of 192.168.1.200 to my computer, then...

    Wow, how did I miss this? Clicked on the recent posts view and saw it. Have been using UI2 for a long time. The other day at a friends place, I logged in forgetting to use /ui2.htm and got the BI interface. I thought WTF is this?? :) UI3 is looking great. Nice and responsive. Great job...

    NEW 1080P Wifi Video Doorbell!

    Obviously a firmware update can't change the physical problem of reflections, but maybe they've added some control over the IR LEDs. I bit the bullet and ordered last night. Will take over a week to get to Canuckistan.

    NEW 1080P Wifi Video Doorbell!

    From the other thread above, sounds like there are some shortcomings, but may be the best in the price range for now. Still on the fence here.

    Thanks, I had missed that thread. Going to check my door when I get home, may still be too big for the location.
