    "Don't buy cheap Chinese-made security cameras, because their security may just be terrible"

    Many cameras have such flaws (but also well known cameras have flaws that are still undercover and kept undercover on purpose to avoid vendors to patch them) but for those flaws listed they are "usable" only if you open their access port (HTTP and/or RTSP and/or FTP, and/or Telnet...) directly...

    Small vs Large LED in IR Illuminators

    As your cars is the point of interest and they are close I would recommand wide angle projector and also try to make the light not be straight in front but positioned slightly on the left or right to give more relief to the human faces

    Small vs Large LED in IR Illuminators

    Grid leds vs Fewer high power Leds, both have different usage, high power LEDs are coupled with different optics that focus the light at different angle, smaller angle make light go longer distance but much concentrated so it may "burn" closer objects making them "too white" (also depending on...

    Which cam for pointing through window (day/night) to use with BI?

    If thru window then use external IR projector outdoor, and turn off internal IR Leds of the camera or you will see nothing at night because of IR reflection, you may also use IR projector indoor but not close to camera.

    if the cam integrate P2P feature then it's normal but... some cams may have some virus/trojan/bot some guys also like to buy cam, infect and return product for refund and wait until it is resold

    2 IR illuminators and their differences

    I am also testing difference between old LED "grid" style and new few power LEDs, I prefer old style because light is much less focused, "smoother" for short distance, question of taste

    2 IR illuminators and their differences

    Need to Reduce Recorded File Size Using FPS

    I usually set my cams to 10fps that is enought for 90% of my needs but... you have to take care of one thing, if you are using RTSP H.264 cameras take care about the mix between fps and bandwith settings, for example if you set 4Mbps bandwith and lower from 20fps tp 10fps then you may still have...

    SriCam SP007 WiFi No Password

    Well may be you can access the camera thru Telnet and change the wpa_supplicant config file yourself with empty password, or if it is only a javascript check you can spoof the HTTP POST and push an empty password value

    Change a Hikvision lens from 2.8mm to 4mm or 6mm?

    I did also lens change from 3.6mm to 12mm and as @nayr said the 12mm lens was a bit too long so I had to unscrew the electronic, push it back manually and fix it inside the case with a bit of hot glueon each PCB's corner, now here is the view I get I also tried a few lens and often got shitty...

    Change a Hikvision lens from 2.8mm to 4mm or 6mm?

    downsizing resolution is not cropping but may be your camera permit to have a cropped view thru some 1920*1080 rectangle you can move inside the full 3 or 4MP frame that will be what is streamed

    Yes full RTSP and you can set resolution/compression as you want, I actually use it with Contacam and NetcamStudio so I see no reason it may not work with Blue Iris unless you cannot define "custom" RTSP camera as Xiaomi will not be part of pre-defined list.

    Hum... played too much with the video_sc1135.xml xonfig file, Digoo got bootloop :-( but fortunately I made a .bak of config file in same folder and as the camera stay a few seconds "accessible" before bootloop I had time to copy/paste a "cp /ncp/config/video_sc1153.xml.bak...
