    Best Tablet to View Cams

    Maybe I need to try again. I'm not very happy with the Fires for anything, they're incredibly slow.

    Best Tablet to View Cams

    I will NOT recommend Fire tablets. The one I have is 2 or 3 years old and it can't quite hack it. Someday I'll find a use for the cheap things that I couldn't pass up :(

    WeatherStation Buying Advice

    I'm probably part of the problem that looney was talking about above, but I bought a cheap AmbientWeather station a couple years ago. It could upload to Weather Underground and I could have the app on my phone look at my station. But WU really changed their app recently, for the worse. They...

    Sure wished I'd been home

    My dad helped a Dr Pepper truck with a breakdown a couple of decades ago. The next day, there was maybe 6 or 8 flats of Dr Pepper at the end of the driveway!

    Camera aesthetics

    I just put a Dahua turret under the garage soffit. My wife said it "wasn't as big and ugly as she thought it was going to be."

    Lock monitor screen while viewing cameras?

    Why don't you put the computer somewhere people can't access it? Or are you still wanting to access it yourself, not just not your guests?

    Review-OEM IPC-T2231T-ZS Ver 2, 2mp Varifocal Starlight Camera

    I have the R version on my back deck, but looking for something for my front and driveway. Adding this to consideration. Thanks! :)

    Lazy Neighbor Pushes My Trash Can With His Truck / Caught On Video

    It's a little funny that the OP didn't want to block his own driveway, proceeds to block someone's vehicle, and gets mad that the guy moves the trashcan to his driveway, blocking him in. Maybe funny's not the right word, but interesting?

    Kids tipping a porta potty

    My wife's grandfather has told a story about going around and tipping over outhouses as a rebellious teen. Good to know things never change.

    Howdy neighbor! Sounds like a fun vision you have, and I wish you the best with it. :cool:

    G'day from Brisbane / Ipswich Down Under

    Welcome! I spent a summer (your winter) at UQ in Gatton, and ventured to Brizzy and Ipswich a time or two. Very fond memories for me in that part of the world.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    It's very loud, if that's what you mean. I'd personally rather it was a hair quieter. But it kinda depends on how big your house is, and how it's laid out.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I put in my LaView last night and it worked fine. Then went offline for a few hours. Now seems to be working well today. Still doesn't ring the old chime inside the house, though. Should I upgrade my transformer? It's an old 515T, 10V transformer. I suppose it'd be cheap, and it is...

    My UPS Caught Fire Last Night

    Yuck, that's no fun. Makes me want to check my UPS's here soon. I've only got 3 or 4 around the house.

    Blue Iris UI3

    Thanks fellas. I restarted BI and made a better user and it worked straight away. Now I can move on to more pressing matters. :D

    Blue Iris UI3

    Thank you, I will try that. There is nothing I need to install in addition to BI itself, though, right? I'm excited for this as it looks pretty darn cool! Appreciate your work on it.

    Blue Iris UI3

    I'm going to have to plead ignorance on this, mostly because I am ignorant on this. :banghead: I just installed Blue Iris a few weeks ago, and tried to use UI3 last night. I shouldn't have to install files like I read about with UI2, correct? I went to the IP address and met a login screen...

    Wyze Cam - Usable with Blue Iris?

    I think I'm going to order one of these little guys. I'm actually yet to officially start my camera project, and this cheap way to get into it may just be the ticket!

    Fresh Meat

    Yeah, no I hear ya there. I have a split-level house, which gives me some good attic access, but a few other challenges. One of these days I'm just gonna pull 25 Cat6's, 10 Coax's, and a few other things from my basement to my top attic. Then I'll have all sorts of things I can do. :)

    Fresh Meat

    Hey all, I've been lurking here for weeks/months now and decided it was time for me to come on board. I actually wanted to see some picture attachments, and I had to sign up. But I'm glad to be here nonetheless. ;) I am interested in Home Security Cameras, but not sure I really want the...
