    Verizon vs. Tmobile

    My brother has been a huge tmobile fanboy and tried to get me to switch from Verizon. There were several times his girlfriend would text us and let us know he has no service wherever they were. I almost made the switch until my wife posted on the ol’ Facebook and asked for feedback. Nearly...

    Dahua 2231 NTP Issue

    If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Although with only one affected camera I might give it a whirl. I have a spare on hand if it goes south.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Break-in

    Created a separate thread for the 2231 NTP issue. Trying not to hijack this from @handinpalm https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/dahua-2231-ntp-issue.57590/ I still can't get over that druggie going through your garage for so long! She is lucky you didn't come out and find her! Good reminder for me...

    Dahua 2231 NTP Issue

    This came up in another thread and I figured it deserved its own as it sounds like a few people have the same issue. I have a 2231 from @EMPIRETECANDY that won't keep time accurately. When I first set it up back in 2019, I had it set to use the BI PC as the NTP server and the CST time zone. All...

    BI 5.4.9.7 problem or IE configuration problem on Dahua SD49225XA-HNR PTZ

    I also have my BI PTZ settings set to ONVIF (OXML) for both of my cameras. I used Find/Inspect and that is what it selected. As for viewing video in IE, there may be a plugin(?) that needs to be installed. It should automatically prompt for download/install when you connect to the camera...

    Break-in

    2231 for me as well! Mine seems to have happened when I switched from nettime on my BI machine to using my pfsense for NTP. The camera keeps reverting to the BI address for the NTP server. I’m using IE and can change it, the time updates to correct. And if I log out and back in it shows correct...

    How do you guys keep track of your IP cams, passwords etc?

    Same for me. Bitwarden has been great and I can export a backup of it. My camera excel sheet tracks IP addresses, serial numbers, Mac addresses, SD card sizes, install dates, etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    to NAS or not to NAS?

    Same here. Plus my BI PC can run independent of any other machines so I always have video recording. I have dedicated UPS units for BI and the POE switches. So even in power outages my security systems are fully functional. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Unifi Network configuration question

    You are basically running what I am. I relocated my BI PC so it is away from the POE switch. My setup is BI > main switch > POE switch. I also have Some off shoots to the shed and garage. So those are BI > main switch > second switch > small POE switch. I haven’t noticed any issues or...

    Weird PTZ mounting location help

    You can use the ceiling mount without the pole so the camera is right at the top. That is ultimately how I mounted both of mine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    I have another camera near this one that does have audio. In blue Iris you can select another camera as the audio source. That’s what I do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Shed Interior Temp to Blue Iris Overlay!

    I fixed some of the broken screenshots here. This worked flawless all winter to keep an eye on things. Home Assistant notified me if the temp dropped too low, so I knew to change the propane. I quickly learned my cheap $12 regulator was not cutting it as the pilot would just go out randomly. I...

    Getting Home Assistant states from my Ambient weather station over to MQTT and into Blue Iris macros. Possible?

    Sorry, I nearly forgot about you this morning! I updated that shed temp thread with new screenshots! My BI tools continues to work and it appears I no longer have an API specified, just my Station ID. @bp2008 could explain how it works under the hood. I'm just pleased its been so reliable!!

    How many cameras everyone running?

    My favorite was when some new people moved in down the road. They asked my neighbor if “that security guy is approachable or friendly”. People say I’m nuts for them all but then later ask about a system for their home! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How many cameras everyone running?

    I am mistaken. I use blue Iris tools for the PTZ overlay. The shed overlay is through HA and MQTT. I’ll grab those and share in the morning! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Easy to do! I have weather station data going to my PTZ cameras through this very method! I’ll check and redo the screenshots for you tomorrow! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Who has converted their vehicles from non-(insert item) to powered? I gots a 2001 Dodge 1500 basic cab (ST?) with no bells & whistles.

    Before our most recent cars with it from the factory, I’ve installed remote start in three of our previous vehicles. Fairly straightforward but none had a factory plug I could tie into so had to identify and splice wires where appropriate in the steering column. Dash cam is also a necessity in...
