    Small / Cheap usb powered cameras for garage / shed

    Thanks. I've looked at them in the past but 1080p is what I've already got. The field a view is a bit narrow at 90* too. For comparison the Tapo is supposedly 110*

    Small / Cheap usb powered cameras for garage / shed

    Looking for some cheaper suggestions for inside the shed and garage. I have good wifi coverage out there, so that's not a concern. I'm running a old wyze for now, but looking for a little higher resolution. 2k / 4mp or so. I don't want to go full fledged POE for this. Just something...

    Yeah I did try that, it just made the static quieter.

    Generic camera audio - on and off hissing noise from BI - Works in VLC

    I got a generic Wansview/Galayou G7 cam that I've got working in BI but I can't get the audio working. In BI I get a hissing noise that comes and goes. Doesn't matter to seem what I pick from the dropdown. If I open the RTSP stream in VLC I get audio. If it tells us anything, Codec info in...

    How To Upgrade Amcrest / Lorex to Dahua Firmware And Get All Dahua Features

    I know the rule of don't try to do too much with one camera. :) I temporarily have it mounted just above my garage door about 9ft off the ground. Up close I have a great view of the driveway close to the garage and any cars close to it. Even got some good video of a buck wandering thru my...

    How To Upgrade Amcrest / Lorex to Dahua Firmware And Get All Dahua Features

    I've been looking at 4k cameras lately and that research brought me to this thread for some reason. I've been very happy with my 5mp Amcrest cameras. I remember when 4k cams were first coming out, folks were saying 5mp units were better for night scenes. Guess that's still true somewhat...

    Flashing Dahua firmware on OEM cameras

    Sorry, I never did try it. Well I tried a few files like you mention, but they just reboot and the cam stays on the old version. I forget what kind of functionality I was trying to get out of them. I ended up ditching the NVR and building a small PC to run Blue Iris on and I'm doing all...

    Flashing Dahua firmware on OEM cameras

    This is the firmware for my QSee. I Can't actually find a Dahua firmware. https://q-see.s3.amazonaws.com/content/files/firmware/QSee_QCN8099B_V2.460.QS01.0.R.20171121.bin If I add it under the Dahua model, it doesn't work or connect at all. I suspect Qsee tweaked things just enough to...

    Flashing Dahua firmware on OEM cameras

    I have the 5mp QSee QC888 POE system from Costco last year. The cameras are QSee QCN8099B, which I'm about 99.9% sure is really the Dahua IPC-HFW1531S. Specs and everything are identical. I'm trying to get the cameras to work with my new QNAP Nas. It doesn't support the Qsee cams, but...

    QSee QC888 - Disable built in DHCP server on POE Ports

    I'll poke around a little more. I'm pretty sure this whole kit is just rebranded Dahua..

    QSee QC888 - Disable built in DHCP server on POE Ports

    That's kind of a bummer. I'm letting them get addresses from my router now with a standalone poe switch and seems to work okay. I don't like the idea of putting them behind the NVR and loosing visibility of them on the network (able to log into them directly). Edit, I guess this is a pretty...

    QSee QC888 - Disable built in DHCP server on POE Ports

    I picked up a QSee kit from Costco during the thanksgiving sale. Is it possible to disable the built in DHCP server that serves the built in POE ports? I have the NVR and cameras in their own network and handling DHCP from my router. I currently have all the cameras and management...
