    How many cameras do you have inside? Any? Am I going overboard?

    Inside cams are a great benefit. You can see if anyone is really inside your house when gone. I keep the local Sherriff's office phone number on my phone, and if I call 911, our local system plays the 911 audio to the responding Sherriff officers and you can give them a play by play on what is...

    Turret cams and wall mounts. How do you protect from rain / elements ?

    You did not state what manufacturer of turret cams you are mounting. I always try to mount my turret cams under the roof overhang, but have 4 Dahua 5442 series turret cams mounted out in the open. They have been there for years w/o any water issues, except grime build up on lens. Last year we...

    Password is wrong and GetEvents error?

    I have had the same problem with a Dahua T5442T-ZE camera. I was going to factory default it, but removing ONVIF Authentication solved it for me too. Glad you brought this up. Looks like I may be removing ONVIF Authentication on all the cams too.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Wow! Even more reason not to use Signal for any secure comms, let alone ANY comms. There needs to be a very big shakeup here. The politicians are stupid for not bringing this up, but we already know this. This Leftist bitch also runs Wikipedia. I will never believe anything on that site...

    Gunshots outside my house - On the news

    Good story Mr Pizza. I feel for you. I hope you keep an AR rifle at the front door, and maybe a few sandbags. Keep us informed, you have some good stories/videos! Please mount that PTZ out by the road for facial recognition.

    Smart Watches for camera alert notifications

    I have never been a person that likes jewelry or watches hanging on my body, but I got a Google Pixel 3, 45mm watch last year for free from my Medicare Advantage Plan provider. It was suppose to be for tracking fitness. I have a Pixel phone and sync the watch to the phone and receive Alert...

    Best practice - put dummy load on unused wifi when removing antennas?

    It is Always good practice to have an RF port terminated. Sometimes the router will let you adjust the RF output power also. When an RF port is unterminated, all the power is reflected back to the source. This creates a standing wave on the RF line and can emit RF energy into the digital...

    Question about "Alert Folder"

    Ver 5.9.9.30 broke All my notifications on Android phone, BI and Pushover. Had to roll back to .29 and delete and regenerate data base. I sent Ken a message about this.

    Dash Cam?

    25% of the crashes around central Florida are hit and run. Anything to help you get ID and license plate info is a big plus. I was involved in a sandwich wreck where I was in the middle while at a complete stop. The persons insurance company that my truck rear ended, tried blaming me for...

    Gunshot Detection?

    So glad you pointed this out. Did not realize that Ken updated this capability in BI. I have been using Blue Iris audio trigger/alerts on the inside cameras for my home alarm system and smoke detector for years. I am my Own home alarm monitor. I get occasional false triggers when the local...

    Home invasion turns into bedroom shootout in Michigan

    Perimeter sensors do not send you trigger pics. Also use multiple alert tools BI, SMS, Pushover . . . BTW, who puts a camera in their bedroom?

    One more reason you want AI cameras outside to send you real time alerts.

    Best Dash Camera 2024

    Good video. I see that you have your cars speed enabled on the camera. May want to rethink that since it could be incriminating if you are not going speed limit. Just saying. . . I have 2 minute loops setup with Max bit rate and 4K recording on front camera and see a lot of 900MB video clips...

    Mud wasps going into camera mounts

    The mud dobbers are thick as mud around here. I have used the regular window/door weather stripping to seal the gap, and it has worked perfectly. Use it on All the outside cameras. Do not even take off the seal for the adhesive strip, just stuff it in the gap and it stays put and just falls...

    Viofo A229 Pro FRONT camera rotation?

    I downloaded and updated my A229 Pro Firmware from the Viofo website yesterday and the video is right side up, no problems. Looks like your rear cam firmware is not what I downloaded, so I would look at that. Firmware: Front V1.3.1_241206 and rear V1.3.1_241204

    Upgraded my AC Slab - Foam to Concrete

    Good job. I had a new AC unit replaced a few years ago, and when they installed the condenser, they placed one of those lighter cement pads on top of my large inground patio slab. I questioned them about the wind resistance using the lighter pad, instead of the existing thick concrete slab...

    Best Dash Camera 2024

    Yea, I see that now. I certainly don't need a 13 year life, when I only keep a car for about 3 years. That would probably out live the dashcam by at least 10X, since you are not recording all the time.
