    First day with my new Dahua underwater camera

    Okay, the thread title is misleading. It's just an IPC-HDW2431T in a homemade underwater housing, not a specialty underwater camera from Dahua. With ideas from this forum and a few other websites, I made an underwater housing using 4" PVC pipe, a 1/2" thick plexiglass disc, and a brass fitting...

    Installing camera in waterproof box for underwater use?

    So I've got a rough idea of the housing I'm going to put together to house a camera. Now to decide which camera to use. I have a 5442 and a few 2431Ts laying around. The camera will be 5-20 feet deep in water with an average of 6-10' visibility, so not murky water, but not perfectly clear...

    Upgrading underwater camera

    That's exactly what I'm wanting to do. I read through the other thread, but could you explain the actual build process for the housing the camera went in? Materials, sealants, cable passthrough, etc? Thanks!

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Do you think that's only going to happen if democrats have control? Sorry, Trump and republicans added about 7 trillion to the debt in 4 years. Republicans and democrats are polar opposites during campaign season, but identical twins once elected.

    Why not 30 FPS?

    If computer processing power, storage, etc aren't a concern, is there a reason to not run 30 FPS on a camera like the 5442? Let's say the camera is pointed towards the street and a truck with a company logo on the side drives by at 30 MPH. Will 10, 15, 20, 30 FPS make a difference in being able...

    TP-Link KASA camera in Blue Iris?

    I have a TP-Link KC120 that I bought several years ago that I'd like to add to blue iris. It's a wifi camera that connects directly to my wifi (no hub). Any ideas if this is compatible with BI?
