    More People Peeing and leaving trash outside my house

    Nice flashlight. I have some similar ones. The strobes are blinding. They are one of the most important pieces of equipment behind cams and guns. We need a separate thread just for the new and improved LED flashlights. Good video.

    Coyote Stops To Bathe

    He seems pretty subdued. Looks like he has a wound that he keeps licking. Someone probably shot him with a pellet gun or something. Hope he is OK. Good video.

    Restore BI Status Window

    Already tried every combo of clicks. It opens the camera settings that is underneath the status window. Anyone have regular restore button in upper right corner on their version?

    Restore BI Status Window

    I periodically look at the BI camera status page to check triggers on cameras. This time I double clicked on the open "Status" window and it maximized. Now I cannot restore the status window to the typical 1/4 window size. There is only an "X" close button on top right. I have tried all the...

    Converter Recon + Car door checker

    How did you present the video to them? If it was on a thumb drive, they should not accept it, because of malware. Of course most of the officers are not too tech savvy, so you need to help them find their way. Seems as though this camera/video/data stuff is still pretty new to them. During my...

    BI ONVIF alerts and Clone Masters

    Thanks so much for pointing this out. I have had a problem with one of my Dahua PTZ cams with IVS not working. I changed it to a clone master, and now it is operational. This needs to be in BI help file. Need to buy you a beer. THANKS for posting!

    T5442T-ZE upgrade install

    I have 3 Dahua turret cams mounted directly to vinyl soffits w/o any other reinforcing, and do not have any issues for 6+ years. There is some extra wood bracing spaced at various intervals to support the soffit, but the cams are not screwed to the bracing. Been through numerous tropical...

    Mud Wasps in my cameras

    I had the same problem with the mud dobbers making a nest in the turret camera. I had some of that foam insulation tape that you use for doors and windows. Just place some foam tape in the gap between the cam and fixed mount. It is amazing they can fit through such a narrow slit.

    Break-in

    Yes, when the state atty called, they wanted to talk to my wife about the plea deal. Obviously, because they knew females would be more compassionate and likely to agree with plea deal. They even kept saying I could call them back if I changed my mind. That pissed me off, and I was very...

    Break-in

    Just a quick update on this event. The defendant had a pretrial hearing last week and pleaded guilty. 26 months in the county jail. Obviously, the defense atty saw the video of her inside my home and told her she does not have a chance. Before the pretrial, the state atty office called me...

    Insurance Fraud Outside My Home

    Just imagine that fraudster lawyers face when he sees himself on video committing fraud. Priceless! I would pay $$ to see that. He is thinking of all the driveways I could pull into, I had to pick the one with all the cameras, I am an Idiot. Evidently he could not make a living being a...

    OpenALPR Alerts are a lifesaver - Confronted litterer after 3 months

    Sounds like you need a good PTZ to zoom in on the cars while you go confront them. Just in case something happens. Never know with all the nuts out there. I would not go out unless I'm pack'n.

    More people throwing trash outside my house

    Good for you going out and confronting them. What a bunch of slobs!

    New massive security whole in many dahua devices (ip-cam,vdp,...)!

    Or they want you to upgrade to reveal more vulnerabilities. I would not trust a damn thing they say.

    Weather Underground will no longer support WebCams

    It obviously cost them $ to host the webcams. Not enough margin for the dip shits of IBM. WU has gone to crap.

    Best firmware/browser to make 5442 settings stick

    Make sure you are really using IE. I never use Edge for anything, but recently, my IE shortcut in the task bar was routing me to Edge. Microsoft changed something, and is trying to force everyone into Edge. I had to go back into settings and change browser to never use Edge.

    Blue Iris Deepstack vs last year's Deepstack?

    I have a handful of 5 year old 5231's that I replaced with 5442, and upgraded 1, 5231 to the new firmware for IVS AI (210711). I have this upgraded 5231 in the same inside room as my 5442 with new firmware. I have been testing it against themselves for triggers and find that the old 5231 is...

    Another "That camera is following me" clip

    @bigredfish , do you get best trigger results when you fill an intrusion box with tripwires?

    2 Days after install this happens!

    Looks like just another day of shopping in CA. What good does face recognition do when the justice system does not do anything?

    They needed another doorbell!

    I think he it trying to discourage the door to door salesmen. They walk up to the door and get so confused, they say screw it. Only way to fight idiocy is with idiocy. This guy is not your normal idiot.

    BI unable to send text or email alerts

    Set Up a bogus gmail account just for your notifications, with less secure credentials. That way your regular gmail is still somewhat secure.

    Bicycle thieves

    I saw on the News that Orlando was the #1 city that people across the country are moving too. I am sure there are a bunch of scumbags riding that statistic also, just like around here. Good cam shots.

    Computer monitor vs tv + remote viewing

    Absolutely, I have 3, 55" LG OLED TVs and they are fantastic. Their web browsers are superior compared to Samsung, but I use all of them strictly for TV viewing, since I use dedicated displays for cams.

    Impressed with HFW5442E-ZE

    I was always a fan of using VBR on the 2MP cams. When I upgraded things to the 5442 (4MP), I found using CBR with 8129 bit rate yielded better results, along with a lot of users here. May want to give that a try.

    Computer monitor vs tv + remote viewing

    Since you are using BI, I think you will be best served by the UI3 tool that @bp2008 developed. I have used Windows laptops, but there is not any remote for them. I think the monitors are overpriced and with UI3, you can select which groups you want to view in each room. Long time ago I tried...
