    Headlights blow out my camera

    My camera is pointed to a curve in my lane back into my property. It is the first time we have had a surprise guest (wrong house..) in years. They drove in with their brights on and it was as if a tactical nuke went off on the property. There was no automatic adjustment/compensation...

    Image skipping -hanging- for seconds

    I have one DH4631C attached to a Dahua NVR 4104 ... that stutters. The clock will march along, and then - skip 2-3 seconds during daylight ...perhaps 10-12 seconds after dark is the norm. Bugs look like shooting stars leaving a tail on screen. I set the bit rate to 25 (the max). I am not...

    'Do not' - trust your cable meter.

    I have been kind of rolling naked in cactus with my NVR, camera and cable issues. I've had lotsa 'No Link' (..or is it Data?) issues. I finally get a POE setup to work and a G-D mouse chews the cable. And of course - that's not the first thing you think of after having numerous other...

    Camera mounted in owl box

    Technically, this is a Wood Duck box. I mounted about 4 of them in my marsh a few years ago, but the DNR has done better on the other side of the creek; I repurposed the boxes. Previously, I had an HIK cam mounted just below the box but have gone thru two cams because of corrosion within the...

    Hey -manufacturers- here is a product wish.

    I simply want to see. I want a 'window' that is a 4K screen, or two, in my house hanging on a wall as you would a landscape painting. I have an open pasture to the front about 300m/1,000' ...and water views on a creek about 200m/650' to the side - with dense woods between. We have many...

    How many connectors between camera and NVR?

    I have a 500'+ run to a single camera. I had to make one waterproof splice/joint. ...then I had massive problems (No Link) I was blaming on the bad weather - it turns out mice chewed into the long run. I simply added another WP connector. I have an image 100% of the time but the resolution...

    Super Moon caught on Security cam

    Cam #1 is set to give us advance warning of a Martian invasion (not really) but I wanted to see what it could see, so I aimed it at the rising moon. It's too bad we had a front coming thru with high, thin clouds. I have no ideas on how to refine the image, I just wanted to see.... Below is...

    Replaced 1080p TV with gaming monitor.

    BIG difference. I started with an inexpensive, 17" ELEMENT TV ....quickly switched to a 23" VIZIO TV, that was actually pretty nice. I believe I may have asked for an opinion whether the jump to monitor would provide any gain... A local fellow was upgrading his gaming system so I...

    Spiders at night....

    I live on a marsh and even though it is 1 November, there is occasionally a snowstorm of bugs flying into the cam at night. Spiders have discovered this also. When I first looked in the daytime, there were no webs or spiders on the cam, but they were sure there at night! Then I looked real...

    Worth upgrading to 1920 x 1080 from 1280 x 1024?

    I'm finally settling in with having switched from a generic Chinese system to a base HIK NVR and camera. And as happy I am with the quality of the image, is there more to be had from upgrading from a quality TV to a gaming monitor? My next move is to add a second, higher rez camera...

    Cat 6 cable issue....

    Folks, I have an HIK cam and a HIK NVR. When I hook a 6' premade/factory cable to the between I get an image—no issues. I ran about 200'/60m of Cat6. It is the first cutting out of the box of 1,000'. I have a proper RJ45 crimper and am not color blind. I also use EZclips so I can see the...

    Dummy here got ahead of myself.... wrong gear

    I have a simple task: my house is back in the woods on 25 acres ( 10ha) with a winding lane to get back to it. Assuming a simple package deal would handle the task, I discovered a 4ch package that used BNC cables was not up to it because I the distance between the dedicated TV/monitor and...
