    Exposing Cameras to Internet

    I usually recommended running a router that can be flashed with Gargoyle firmware. OpenVPN is natively supported and once set up, requires no ongoing confirmation of account details. It really is a set an forget solution. Apart from native OpenVPN support, Gargoyle offers so much more for...

    The Good, Bad and the Ugly - The Ali Express Seller Thread

    http://www.17track.net/en Is what I use for tracking. Haven't come across a tracking number from anywhere in the world that it hasn't been able to track as reliably as the shipping companies own pages. Can track multiple packages from multiple shippers with one click.

    Re: Nice tiny POE HD camera cheap- for those that want that hidden camera in house/ga If you are going to try and use the original camera with the bulky connector you could consider one of these.

    Huison PTZ 10X

    Interesting. From the look of things, I am wondering if there is a beam on the other side of the zinc that the junction box is mounted to, because I can't see a row of tek-screws that would indicate a cross member behind the zinc? I can see tek-screws about 20% up the lettering. If there is no...

    Hikvision 4MP Turrets and IR reflection affecting exposure

    Can't see how you would lose too much (if any) region of interest, if you re-aimed the camera.

    nayr's home automation build out...

    What an awesome thread! Plenty of great reasons for delving into my toy box for new projects. Got plenty of the BB Blacks to play with. So much more elegant than arduino solutions I have been using. Next project (added to the list) is to interface some dual PIR Microwave sensors to turn on my...

    I wouldn't waste my time on wild goose chases. Unless someone knows how to display the status on screen, you will be wasting your time.

    Not necessarily. Depends where you place the LED. Very cheap, quick and easy to implement. Mirrors (like blind spot for cars) also work well.

    Assistance with alarms...Hik 2CD2732F-IS

    Quick and dirty proposal. How about a microswitch on the garage door, wired to a low powered LED placed in the field of view of the camera?

    zooming

    For playback, I like to download the clip that you are interested in, to a computer and then use the advanced features of VLC to enable interactive zoom. VLC lets you do some handy enhancements to the area of interest. I only use this method when I know there is some detail that requires...

    Almost anything is possible with enough money. I would start by thinking about powering the remote cams. What kind of distances are you considering?

    Buylog - 2015 20X Optical Zoom IR 150M High Speed Dome Full HD1080P Auto Tracking

    Hopefully you have left appropriate feedback to notify others of your experience. Anyone else noticed a new trend on AE where the Seller states in terms of trade, anything other than 5 star feed back will absolve the seller of any warranty obligations? It is not just security products but a...

    Wireless digital thermometer with remote monitoring

    Ooops too late. Was going to recommend a NinjaBlock. They are no longer officially supported but do that and infinitely more. They should be going for a song these days. Have have a dozen sitting in a storeroom a continent away. If you are a gadet man these things would keep you occupied for...

    Cleaning the cam

    I use lenspen micro:http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1047135-REG/lenspen_nmcp_1c_micro_pro.html and a goats hair brush and a puffer (both Gittos brand and also from B&H)

    Help...

    Have you tried using SADP to change the IP address? PPPoE tab is to allow cam to directly access a DSL line. It should not be used unless in very specific cases.

    IP Cameras Using 3G/4G Connection With No Public IP

    Excellent work. OpenVPN is very straight forward to configure, especially if you flash the router with Gargoyle firmware (my preference) as you can enter the OpenVPN credentials into the firmware and the router takes care of everything for you. Pretty sure that OpenWRT would do the same thing...

    IP Cameras Using 3G/4G Connection With No Public IP

    Have you considered using a portable 3G router (TP Link make some good ones) that you can flash with custom firmware (openWRT / Gargoyle / etc) that supports OpenVPN? If you have line of sight to sheds, could consider Ubiquiti gear.

    Yes people in the west held similar views about the inferiority of Japanese products for many reasons. However, justified or not Japan had to please the west as it did not a population that could absorb all of it's domestic products. China is nothing like post war Japan. China is exploding...

    Huisun Camera Order Delay or Cancelled

    I am in China about 5 times a year and have been doing business there for well over a decade. What you need to realise it is China and they don't give a shit. If Monica goes down because they burn some people, they won't lose any sleep and will be back in business the next day via another...

    Then why didn't you say so. :P The sweeping generalisations in this sub-forum are astounding, almost fanatical. Please don't allow the facts to stand in the way of a good story. Carry on.

    Huisun Camera Order Delay or Cancelled

    I think these statements require clarification because people who have no choice but to use Aliexpress could be mislead. This statement is the equivalent to stating that one Ebay seller is a point of contact for Ebay. Monica is not a contact for Aliexpress (AE), "she" is a representative of an...
