    Help with Positioning of Cameras

    I understand and that's actually why I didn't pierce any brick yet. Your holes are high and once plugged and colored, only you will ever see them. I wanted to test mount them first and decided that my test locations were acceptable. I'm also looking to sell sometime in the next year so I didn't...

    Help with Positioning of Cameras

    Here you go. Fwiw, my amcrest cams work "ok for the money". If I had to do it over again, I would have waited and just did Dahua. I get good enough clarity around the cars but when cars drive by at night, its difficult to get too much detail out on the street. As you can see, I have pretty...

    How To Upgrade Amcrest / Lorex to Dahua Firmware And Get All Dahua Features

    Odds are you were asking iseeker but as far as my config, (post #43), nah, changing over to dahua did nothing for my features with BI. (Amcrest IP8M-2493E )

    Help with Positioning of Cameras

    I would say they're all definitely too high. For example, I have mine mounted on the top of the garage door opening. I can easily reach up and clean them & yes, see anyone approaching them to touch them as well. Fwiw, I use domes though so they'd need to paint them or hammer them to get them...

    Door Checker?

    Personally I would call. If nothing else, you'd have at least one area cop who would be aware of it. Nothing I'd think they could do as no laws broken. Hopefully this could help them solve another crime though. (give leads, info, etc)

    Door Checker?

    I like the idea of posting it on your Nextdoor app for the neighborhood. I know "technically" he didn't break any law but playing hide and seek in your driveway at 4am is at least suspicious. Hopefully someone in your neighborhood might recognize him.

    Video Of Blower Being Stolen From My Gardeners Truck

    Yes. In the US (as far as I've ever heard) the only thing where the "victim" doesn't have to be willing to press charges is either in domestic assault or (obviously) felony homicide. In those cases, the police can decide to press charges for you even if you don't want them to. (I'm by no means...

    Whats the simpliest or easiest way to have a 20m CCTV LCD Monitor in house?

    no need to rdp. Just hit the built-in UI3 web page. Look on your BI Settings tab, go to Web Server tab to see the address. mine is http://192.168.50.111:81 Log in and tadaa! I think I've been guilty of overthinking it before too. Many ppl have an old laptop or tablet laying around that can...

    Whats the simpliest or easiest way to have a 20m CCTV LCD Monitor in house?

    another just random idea would be to use a roku on a small tv and the IPCamera Viewer app? iirc, can't you configure multiple screens on the $5 pro version.

    Video of daylight home invasion.

    "According to police, Finnan said he and Brodacz met through their shared profession as car salesmen. Finnan reportedly told authorities that Brodacz had claimed to have seen about $200,000 in cash in boxes in the Arlington Heights home about 20 years ago and thought money might still be there...

    Video of daylight home invasion.

    Its crazy that they even saw the camera on the way in. Clearly they weren't too worried about it. I'm guessing there's more backstory to the situation than what the paper is detailing here. Why did these two guys target this particular house? Did they know the victims before and how/why? The...

    Camera pictures looks bad at night Help Please New to This???????

    Don't take this as bad criticism or anything. We're (I am, I'm sure there's at least one other here who would agree with me) trying to look out for you. Something to you'll want to understand is what you're going to get and how much action might be taken from it. Your camera placement is way...

    Time warner/Spectrum Switched My System Provider to Brinks

    its crazy to me how a contract can be changed by a company at any time but if you want the smallest, little thing changed, it takes an act of God (along with a new contract) for it to happen. Not really referring to this case you're dealing with. Just how companies hold us all fast to...

    Just out of curiosity, does Chromium work for what you're trying to do? (imho, I always went ahead with just Chrome but I know there are some linux people who won't do anything not completely open-sourced.) I'm just trying to find you an alternative that might work for you now and/or at least...

    Video Of Blower Being Stolen From My Gardeners Truck

    I don't wonder at all what the problem is. You lost me on where that came from. Did I ever say I wondered what the problem was? The point of what I was saying is that in larger metro areas, police work isn't done in the idealistic way that some are describing. This might be how it's done in...

    In the interest of not disrupting the forum, I'll edit my post to simply say that it's amazing that you supposedly know all this about where I live. In fact, it's completely wrong and you missed by a long, long distance. Thanks for clarifying what the local police do here and what their...

    Scanning footage for changes in the scene

    I've had (I think) the same question. I know you can set BI to highlight or draw a rectangle around motion as its happening but I don't think there's a way to do this when reviewing clips. I often have an alert and when I review the clip, I never figure out what exactly it was that made this...

    Trouble with Reolink RLC-410W Wireless Cam and Blue Iris 5

    Well. imho, "good" is going to depend on how far you are away from your router. I have better, uninterrupted connectivity with the 941 than the 841 as it can use 5ghz band. Still though, you're results can be very different depending on distance, obstacles, etc. The good is that they're cheap...

    This sounds like a great idea. The population of the metro area I live in is over 6million people. Let's just say there's more than one or two pawn shops in town. I'm not sure it's as easy as you guys are proposing. (to share, I don't live in Socal like the OP here but I do live in a large metro...

    Trouble with Reolink RLC-410W Wireless Cam and Blue Iris 5

    I'm no reolink expert. (I had one, promptly returned it, found this forum later, etc...). My guess though would be to try to set it up as some sort of generic ONVIF and see if that helps. That would be a first thing I'd try.

    maybe I'm just evil but I smile every time I hear of a crime happening and the perp leaving behind a wallet, cell phone, license plate or form of id. It's just the simple things in life that make me smile sometimes.

    Cameras drop signal every 24 hrs?

    Yep. got one. and mine's a 2 story. I'm telling you, there might be ways around it that you don't know yet. Interesting to see you say that just rebooting the router temporarily fixes your issues. For me, its always been the wireless cams that needed to be rebooted.

    Cameras drop signal every 24 hrs?

    I can relate to having a situation like this. Since it's like that though, get used to it. Wireless video on any cam is not a good situation. I do have 3 wireless cams but they're (relatively) close to the router so it doesn't drop but occasionally, but it still happens. Advice to you would be...

    It could be that but it's just as likely a fear of getting involved with the police at all. While I don't KNOW the gardner is hispanic, I'd say its common to find that they are. Many in the hispanic communities are just leery of getting involved with the police at all. I'm kind of disappointed...
