    IP cam for rotents.

    I have been using a couple of cheap Tapo C120s to monitor rodent activity. At night I use IR and their Motion and Line-Crossing detection settings. I turn off these settings during the daytime to avoid false triggers. They've been out there doing this for a year or more without problems. I...

    Notes from the Swamp

    Halloween, when I was no more than maybe 5 or 6 years old: I called at a house to trick-or-treat. The woman that opened the door asked me if I would like an orange kitty. I thought maybe that was a cookie or something. I said, "Yes." she told me to come in and pick the one I wanted. She led me...

    Mount for T54IR-ZE-S3

    I wouldn't be concerned. Looks like a perfect scene for one or more Tendelux D10s or D20s, if needed. edit: added D20s

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    Thanks for all your efforts. I think the last two videos look good. Not great, but not bad. I definitely see an improvement in the first one in comparison with the previous 5459 video.

    2026 New Release from EmpireTech

    This was one of my considerations when I decided to try Dahua and the PRO soon after I joined here. I knew very little then. I have learned that the consumer/pro-consumer security camera market is not what I expected. My expectations have been reset and I carry on.

    Automated way for the 54IR Day and Night profile to change?

    Thank you! I will do it in future without the CS check. I will just configure Day/Night Switch > Apply >Customized Scene > Apply. I still haven't gotten to the point of posting the settings of some testing for feedback, so this is a step in that direction.

    Automated way for the 54IR Day and Night profile to change?

    I goofed! My recall of my steps was wrong: "I "force" my Day/Night: Select Customized Scene > Day > configure settings > Apply Night>configure settings> Apply Select Day/Night Switch > Apply" I swapped the steps for Day/Night and Customized Settings. The post should have been: I "force" my...

    Automated way for the 54IR Day and Night profile to change?

    After you have set the Customized Scene settings, you must apply them for use in Day /Night Switch. You can then use Time Plan Settings to set a time based schedule, if you choose edit: When you click on Day/Night Switch, double check that your Day/Night settings that you set under Customized...

    Amazon Driver Throws My Package

    I've had some goofy delivery experiences. One that comes to mind was a time that I had to watch the whole situation for 5 to 10minutes before settling on a theory about what was happening. I display a sign with instructions for deliveries; "Please Leave Deliveries On Gray Crate". An arrow...

    Dahua Camera Times - How close from Cam to Cam?

    Just an added note from a newb; I am still setting up my Dahua system and I was not able to get the time stamp synched on my cameras (tried a few different NTP servers). I reconfigured settings for cameras and SmartPSSLite using " time.cloudflare.com " I have had no further problems but I have...

    Highest Capacity HDD For EmpireTech NVR16CH-16P-2AI-S2?

    This model specs HDDs at up to 20tb. I am considering the possibility of a 22tb drive. Has anyone tried using a larger drive than spec calls for? In this climate of supply and demand problems, I especially don't want to make such a purchase blindly. edit: Also, how about a 24tb or 26tb? I'm...

    Since these temps aren't an issue, it seems that they may serve a good purpose by mitigating moisture?
