    Camera Mounting

    The title of this thread does not include the word "mount" but does actually has a lot of good information about mounts and mounting options: https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/best-way-to-plug-5-8-inch-holes-from-pre-terminated-cat5-cable-runs.70145/

    Audio clearer on Dahua IP Cameras

    My experience has been that the noise filter setting makes some difference with specific cameras, depending on their location and how high they are mounted - which I realize is so obvious to be essentially useless advice. But I get a lot of wind noise too. The microphone that works best in my...

    Windows Server 2022

    Apologies for the delayed response. FWIW, I run Blue Iris on Server 2019 and have encountered no problems.

    Cuban Classic Cars

    Yes, I've seen them in other parts of the world. They obviously have a unique door arrangement where both front and rear doors are attached to a center column/structure, hence the front suicide door.

    Code project AI no longer triggering alerts

    That's hopeful - maybe I should try again with 2.1.9. My tolerance for things breaking on my BI machine is pretty low.

    Code project AI no longer triggering alerts

    FWIW, 2.0.8 is the most recent version that I have been able to make work as well.

    POE Trigger/Switch for Mailbox Cameras on BI?

    Variable speed which is good, and the chuck will take a 1/2" shaft, but this dude is about to simulate a lawn mower blade spinning in his drill press... :eek:

    POE Trigger/Switch for Mailbox Cameras on BI?

    @TheWaterbug, I say this with the utmost sincerity and as a long-time woodworker: Please be super careful doing any kind of operations involving rotating cutters, especially of the diameter being proposed here. There is a reason that there are no core box router bits much larger than about 2"...

    POE Trigger/Switch for Mailbox Cameras on BI?

    There are some clever and resourceful folks on this forum - including yourself. Take these few thoughts with a grain of sand. 1) Consider a hole angle that is not perpendicular to the board face - difficult without a drill press, however. You could also two (or maybe just one slot) about and...

    BoobieCam Installation for Face Detection in Front Entrance

    Where else can you see a Polski Fiat 126 in the wild! - This is why I love screenshots from @CanCuba :D When you are packing a 704cc twin under the boot, you definitely need the Lotus green paint job and the racing stripe. :thumb: Joking aside, it's amazing how mechanically resourceful folks...

    Vacant home: cameras or security system?

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2023/07/03/squatters-rights-leave-homeowners-forgotten/70364321007/ This happened a few years back to a house in our neighborhood. Owners lived in Oregon in summer and Arizona in winter. They had bought the house from someone who used to rent rooms, but...

    Beware of Z-Wave 700 series controllers

    @truglo Thank you for discussing your findings and your success is encouraging, especially to those of us that hold our breath every time Home Assistant provides an update to the Z-Wave automation. :wtf: I also seemed to always have range issues with the same Nortek controllers as you had...

    Home Window Tinting and UV Screens

    My long-winded experience: In Oregon during the summer we have huge diurnal temperature swings. For example, yesterday it was 82 degrees during the hottest part of the day, but at the coolest point at night it was 40 degrees. So you would think that a whole house fan would make perfect sense...

    Will CodeProject.AI help with tree shadows?

    I have mixed feelings about CodeProject AI. I agree that it really does seem to help with shadows (and headlights to some extent), but I keep wondering if I shouldn't spend a little more time understanding Blue Iris' motion detection versus ONVIF events/IVS (there is another interesting thread...

    Stranger Danger: Side-by-side captures of Ring/Arlo/Nest vs Better Cameras

    Excellent point - likely the same for many of us here... Hence I never really get the objection to paying $62.99 for Blue Iris????

    Hall of shame

    It's crazy :-) As I understand it, there is a huge black market for the older type of refrigerant aka Freon. If you have an older system that is working fine except the refrigerant has leaked out then you either find a source for older refrigerant or you install a new system. I checked my...

    No idea if this is true, but an installer two years ago told me that refrigerant theft was rampant.

    Hall of shame

    RE: mini-deck... You can see where a ledger board was attached to the siding... and probably some triangular supports anchored where the siding is disturbed between the windows. But imagine how peaceful, enjoyable, and relaxing it would be sitting on the glider with two screaming condensers...

    Without using cloud services, what's the best way to trigger playing custom audio on-event? (e.g. "Front Door Cam Triggered.wav")

    Onvif device manager and all cams network

    IMHO ONVIF Device Manager is something of a debugging/configuration/discovery tool. Otherwise, if want an NVR, @TonyR's response in Post #2 says it all.

    Spot Monitors Via Network

    Lots of good hardware suggestions. Apologies for being so dense here, but if there is no pathway then how are the MDF and IDF switches connected? Spot monitors attached to HDMI extenders (meaning using the UTP as mechanical connections) is the typical solution, but since the "unable to find...

    VTO2111D-WP & VTH5221DW setup - need help

    Ahh geez - I'm sorry that you are having this problem - I've spent my share of effort on these VTO's and VTH's. Apologies, but I've never had to unbrick any of my cameras or devices, so I really never investigated the procedure. I do know that there are many threads on this forum for...

    VTO2111D-WP & VTH5221DW setup - need help

    Those appear to be Gen 1 VTO and VTH and do not support SIP - BUT it is very confusing because there is SIP firmware available that will install on the VTH, but it will not connect to the VTO. For example, I was able to flash: General_VTH52X1D_Eng_P_SIP_V4.300.0000000.4.R.20190319.bin to my...

    They're Back

    When I lived in Tampa a coworker had a problem with dozens of them roosting on her pool enclosure. Not only are they loud as @dee points out, but they also vomit frequently. Florida Fish and Wildlife temporarily installed some type of "pyro tech" device that "fired" at regular intervals...

    DOD viewing of Blue Iris

    Whether it is allowed or whether you are technically able to do it are two separate questions - both of which are are starting to get conflated in the thread. If the Blue Iris instance is running on your home computer, for example, then to view UI3 from an external computer such as your...

    DOD viewing of Blue Iris

    I assume you are asking about viewing the UI3 interface at work on a Government computer? In general, Federal Employees are allowed to use the Government's computers for limited personal use. And I would consider viewing the UI3 interface limited personal use as long as you were not...
