    I don't believe I need any more cameras. Therefore, I'm sure I'll be buying some more cameras.

    looking for camera to trigger a relay

    I am a BI user. I could use BI to trigger a relay through home assistant as well. I was hoping for a more isolated solution. He's using a $300 camera. I was hoping for a cheaper camera.

    looking for camera to trigger a relay

    I'm looking for a recommendation for a camera of any brand that will meet my minimal requirements. For the holidays, I set up lights synced to music. I'm looking for a camera that can trigger a relay when a person is detected so I think I just need a camera with a pigtail that can be set up to...

    Is there a Blue Iris equivalent for Linux?

    If it's discontinued in a year, you break even. If it is discontinued in 2 years, you come out ahead. But really, neither of those are true. You'll likely come out ahead regardless. If it is discontinued, it will likely lose any support and there will be no new versions but the program should...

    Is it possible that two people could have experience with multiple brands and have independently decided the best value is the same brand as the other person also chose?

    I don't have any financial stake in any brand of camera. I ran across this forum in my quest to chase megapixels and paid attention to the advice I was given. So far, I have not been given bad information. If anyone who provided me that information benefitted financially, and I'm not trying to...

    Captured: ATM Heist

    Every time I get behind someone and they start following 100% of the traffic laws, I assume they're probably dirty and they don't want to get caught. Very few people follow 100% of the traffic laws 100% of the time.

    For Sale NVR5232-16P-4KS2E

    So instead of just scrolling past an item you aren't interested in, you bumped a month old ad to the top of the list to make sure everyone on the forum knows you prefer something other than the item he is selling. Interesting decision.

    possible to store a few days of all video, not just clips ?

    Set the cameras to record continuous. The triggers will still record but the continuous will record between the triggers. If I remember correctly, cont+triggers will record the substream then the main stream for triggers. Continuous will record all the main stream. I have 7 cameras with their...

    Mini-Review - 5241-Z12E-S2 - Replacement for the 5241-Z12E

    It looks like there's some sore of reflection that moves across the back of the vehicle. The plate looks blown out when the reflections are in line with the plate. I don't know what's causing the reflection so I don't know if that would be the source of the blow out.

    Mini-Review - 5241-Z12E-S2 - Replacement for the 5241-Z12E

    I agree about the plate. These 3 images are from the first 3 frames the plate are in view and they look readable for the most part. This is the first frame where none of the letters/numbers on the plate can be read. You can by the reflection of the headlight off the tailgate that the...

    Too many hard drives

    Before I got a purpose bought desktop for BI, I repurposed an old file server I had laying around. It had 16x 3tb drives. I was quite pleased with Drivepool. I combined them all into one big drive, It doesn't have parity drives but the files can be duplicated. I set duplication at 3. It cut my...

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    I'm glad it's metal. It looks kinda plasticky in the pictures. I went ahead and ordered it.
