    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Thanks for the help. I may have it sorted now. What are you using as an external PIR? My blue iris is about 6 months out of date and as I look to renew it, Im thinking about using the Sentry AI platform to identify people and maybe cars from the video. But I also wonder if a proper motion...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Just went through page 101 to get my Hikvision HD-DS1 up and running. Thanks for writing that. I have the camera connected to blue iris but I'm having one problem. What I think I want is to use the HD stream on the Hik-Connect app (android and ios) and then one of the other streams records...

    The camera I mentioned a few posts ago was also from dragoneye (I have 3 and 1 of them has failed after about 6 months including an extremely cold Calgary winter). susan has been reasonably punctual in replying to me about the warranty (says there are 2 years of warranty on these) and I have...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Anyone know where I could get parts for this camera? The one I bought last fall has died with a similar problem to the ones some had earlier where the camera would just shut off one day and then only stay on for a few minutes before shutting off again. I have two other identical cameras on the...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Was thinking about that but (limited) personal experience and a set of posts in this very thread made me realize that sketchy people never seem to be aware of your fancy camera and so there may be more value in scaring them away with bright lights (cocroach effect) than getting better video of...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Any advice for someone who has one of these mounted in the alley behind the garage and is also looking at adding a "security light"? I was thinking about adding something big enough that I could just take full color video all night but that might be an obnoxious amount of light for the...

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    lol, ok.... https://kennycloud.ca/index.php/s/40aEkrGdLRuHpYR Not sure how long I'll leave that up. The 4 minutes in the middle is nothing but then he does come back at the end. I'm really only posting it because I want to know if someone knows what the hell he holding in his hand. I still...

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    I've been thinking a lot about this because I recently put up a cam on my garage facing into an alley with no lighting at all in it. Last week some shifty looking guy comes right up to my garage, takes off his backback and stands there with the (red) IR light from the camera hitting him in...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Stupid question time: Anyone know how to export the settings from the web-ui on these cameras? Using my modest intelligence I found this, but damned if that export button doesn't do anything at least on firefox or IE. Is there some secret hand signal?

    Dahua + Blue iris general questions

    Just got my Dahua starlight (IPC-HDW5231R-Z IPC-HDW5231RP-Z) in the mail and I have been trying to get it setup. Looking for a pointer or two. With SmartPSS I can connect to the camera and zoom and focus and see the IR working and hear sound so I know the camera is fully functional. But with...
