    $99 Amcrest 1080p ProHD from Foscam

    The PTZ speed of motion is precise in the browser plugin/chrome app but in Blue Iris the diagonal directions do not work and also it is not as precise. It's like the start then stop command timing is too long. Same with UI2, BI iOS app (probably Android too). The firmware has some advanced...

    Space might be hard but so is DHL and ontrac delivery

    Ordered 3 mini ptz cameras. The package arrived in LA around Thanksgiving. Then shipped to Sacramento. Signed up for every notification option DHL had. Two days after they tried to deliver one time with no note on door I got a text message that said they handed it over to ontrac for delivery...

    Capture of shooting.

    Assume person has a deadly weapon. Call 911 first and give location/description of person/s. If you see physical violence honk the horn without exiting vehicle from a safe distance. If possible get description of vehicle + license plate number. If vehicle takes off follow while on phone with...

    Huisun 10x Mini-bullet Samples

    Interesting. Large number of fish. I wonder if the fish are attracted to the IR light? This could be a new method of fishing using IR led flashing lure or IR spotlight on boat focused at water. Tom

    $99 Amcrest 1080p ProHD from Foscam

    Only time will tell. Not a big Foscam fan. I own 4 Swann (Hikvision) bullets that have been super reliable. Amcrest nmap. Starting Nmap 7.00 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2015-11-24 19:00 PST Nmap scan report for AMC000LNRF2ZHJA166 (192.168.1.94) Host is up (0.00055s latency). Not shown: 994 closed...

    $99 Amcrest 1080p ProHD from Foscam

    The quality is much improved compared to the older Foscams. Digital (not optical) hardware zoom has fewer artifacts compared to regular software zoom. Color accuracy improved and low light noise level is acceptable (frame rate suffers at low light levels probably due to longer exposure or noise...

    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    Purchased a few Amcrest HD 1080 indoor cameras to replace my old Foscams. Video quality and low light sensitivity much improved. I really prefer the ui2 interface except the zoom and pan/tilt step amount is much greater than in the BI 4 application control and also the default BI web interface...

    Macros are only showing up in live view now

    I *think* my BI 4 64 bit is configured for direct-to-disc. If I tell BI 4 to include text overlay and graphics it does. Low quality video due to 512 kbps bitrate. 4 captures at 14% i7 cpu. Maybe I just think it's doing direct-to-disc? Tom

    $99 Amcrest 1080p ProHD from Foscam

    I *think* Amcrest is a slightly better quality than Foscam cameras based on AwkwardHamster youtube review. I ordered a couple for indoor use to replace my old Foscams 9821s. Amcrest was apparently founded by the owners of Foscam so it might not be much better. I'm hoping the hardware and...

    Is it possible to connect IP camera to laptop with USB adapter?

    I have a great view outside my window at work and we can byod but no hard wired ethernet and no support for unauthenticated wifi devices. I was thinking about getting a cheap USB to ethernet adapter (cable, not wifi). I assume that would give me a second nic device in Windows that I can set a...

    Huisun 10x PTZ mini-bullet garage installation

    Wow! I thought everyone purchased cameras from AliExpress because of the low prices. Hi Monica, who/what ever you are. :laugh: Tom

    Huisun 10x PTZ mini-bullet garage installation

    I thought about doing one at a time but it's complicated due to my work schedule. I hope all 3 cameras are delivered at the same time. This will be my first time configuring a wireless ethernet bridge (about 100' line of sight) so I'm sure it will be challenging. I wonder if Monica is a real...

    Huisun 10x PTZ mini-bullet garage installation

    Ordered 3 mini bullet Huisun cameras poe/audio/alarm ($149 + shipping). One will be setup for wifi using a poe injector (if needed) + tp-link ethernet bridge. 2 of them replacing older foscams in domes. Looking forward to higher quality video and zoom. Blue Iris 4. I don't expect the cameras to...

    Huisun 10x PTZ 2MP mini PoE bullet camera inside testing in complete darkness

    Looks really good. My interior foscams in the domes mounted outside are pretty much useless at night. This will be a vast improvement and will complement my fixed bullet hikvision cameras. Thanks, Tom

    Huisun 10x PTZ 2MP mini PoE bullet camera inside testing in complete darkness

    Thanks in advance for posting night time videos. Even video without moving objects would help me decide if it's a big enough step up from my hikvisions (definitely would be from my internal foscams in domes). Tom

    Mail theft

    As someone who lives in a red light district and sees a lot of stuff I think she is more 51-50 than tweeker (not zombie enough). I would get a locking mailbox with slot and be done with it. Tom

    Huisun 10x PTZ 2MP mini PoE bullet camera inside testing in complete darkness

    Would like to see exterior night video of moving object at different zoom levels to judge blur, noise, IR projection distance. Thanks Tom
