    good video on the DL. this is a setting in urbania. i live in the country down a dirt road with 200' distance to the house. the yard is fenced. so this rural environment is hugely different & i have 7 cameras. the problem in reading the photos from the SD cards in the cameras is that it...

    IPcam Monitoring software

    thanks for the tips. it seems that a bit of trial & error is required on this. most people probably use video mode; i use snapshot mode. don't need a bunch of video around. photos are fine. these cameras are pre-AI. what i decided to do was not buy this software for these cameras, but to...

    IPcam Monitoring software

    thanks. after using it in trial mode yesterday, while it is good for switching between cameras, it takes way too many photos. i have set the size to fairly large. it took 10k photos on 6 cameras in 3-4 hours while it was raining. so far this is unusable. i wanted the software to collect...

    this anran camera is a generic dahua. its a very good camera that costs only slightly more than a good game camera.

    i bought a 100w 12 volt panel from amazon with a controller & a 24f battery. this works fine as long as the sun is present. after running this setup for 1 month now, it is clear that it will take at least 200w to keep the battery charged long enough to run this camera all night from day to...

    ipcamtalk newbie

    i read something in a post (not on this forum) from someone that has an sv3c camera, model not specified. he said that he powered his led lights off until motion was detected & then turned them on for a period of time until no motion detected. then back off. he didn't provide any further...

    ok. then the camera powered by the solar power system will require another 100w panel to keep the battery charged on the days with reduced sunlight. wow. totally unexpected.

    ipcamtalk newbie

    so then all of these IP cameras will have the led lights on throughout the night, if active? i didn't realize these were designed differently than the game cameras. i get good pics here on the property that are downloadable from the SD card or to other storage. this is so much easier than...

    ipcamtalk newbie

    no, turn the ir lights off. when the motion detection circuit trips, activate the lights & leave them on for a period of time. this saves power. one of the cameras i have is powered by a diy solar power system. the cameras are very good, but it would be nice to turn these lights off, as the...

    ipcamtalk newbie

    i didn't use the ubiquity model. it doesn't have much more range than the bargain brand i bought. do you know how to send commands to turn the IR off at night until motion is detected & then take a photo or photos/video & then turn IR off? thanks.

    ipcamtalk newbie

    thanks. i understand. the browser indicates a non-secure connection. i use poe to a compound AP that provides wifi to the cameras. the rest are at least 100' distant from the AP, so ethernet is not really possible unless powerline ethernet is used. this is a simple setup & first attempt...
