    Different zones based on the time?

    But that's the pickle---I don't want a text from all the activity in A because it's a lot of activity. If someone's on my porch, I want to know. And yes, they both trigger---but B can't trigger if A is already triggered. I'll fiddle more with the timing stuff. Thanks. Edit: Oh man, I'm dumb...

    Different zones based on the time?

    I got the schedule sorted out. I was making it more complicated than it needed to be. Thanks for the heads up there. I nixed the global schedule in favor of individual schedules---I was "Drawing" wrong. IT kept resetting to "active" when I made changes, but I got it. Here's my issue. I want to...

    Different zones based on the time?

    Oh! That makes sense. I was trying to set profiles based on time but I couldn't seem to sort out HOW. The googles gave me nothing, either. I will try again! So if I'm understanding, I set the profile settings in the CAMERA first and then set a global schedule to switch profiles? I may have been...

    Different zones based on the time?

    Using all dahua turret cams, image quality is awesome, rig is running sub 20% utilization all the time. My issue is that the sensitivity/contrast settings that work by day give me a LOT of false positives by night because of headlight wash on the street in front of my house. Daytime, I want to...

    Replacing deprecated system, totally blown away by cam options

    VorlonFrog: Thanks, checking it out! Q-yes, sorry. I used my Google account to connect here and it pulled the avatar over automagically. It's dickbutt.

    Replacing deprecated system, totally blown away by cam options

    Roger that, all over it. I saw the lorex 4k's before I came here, actually. Really wanting to roll my own nvr for a few reasons (hardening, for example) but I'm not opposed to other options. I don't think the box I have has the guts for 4k in any regard though. :( I notice that the dauha 2mp's...

    Replacing deprecated system, totally blown away by cam options

    For sure. I did that, I need to check the FOV's of the cam's I'm looking at and play some more. Budget would be less of a constraint if I hadn't just bought a new PC and a new high-end drone and a new high end kayak, lol. Priorities, I guess. ;-) Daytime is PROBABLY a greater threat to me than...

    Replacing deprecated system, totally blown away by cam options

    Ahhhhh. Ok. This eases me some. Fwiw, my ranges are all very short. Front porch, back porch, carport covering my bike and car. 50' would shoot through the back porch and cover the car as well. This album got my thief found a few weeks ago, but I'm not satisfied with the system at all. Thanks...

    Replacing deprecated system, totally blown away by cam options

    Thanks to both of you. I have to admit I'm having a senior moment here, perhaps you can help me. I'm looking at many cams @ Andy's store that seem that they should work fine but I'm mostly only seeing PAL listed as the video format. Are we recording in PAL generally? I found the 4231 here, but...

    Replacing deprecated system, totally blown away by cam options

    First---I'm an IT guy and network technician, so cabling and such is no worry. Replacing a ~5 year old 960H junk china system that's actually served me pretty well. Was considering wifi for ease of installation but I really, really am enamored with these higher definition options. I've got a...
