    6k quote from security company

    Hi, My dad had a security company quote him $6k for 5 cameras and an nvr. Wires are already in place, so just need someone to provide cameras and install to the wall. They won’t even tell me what brand cameras , model is “TD-4K-B” and they appear to be 2.8mm 8mp fixed lens. What are your...

    My camera drops sending signal around 2pm everyday and comes back on around 6pm. See Pics.

    do you apply to both sides? or just camera side? i actually didnt use it so thats probably part of the reason too.... i guess i got lucky at my second home where i didnt use it since and barely have signal loss.

    My camera drops sending signal around 2pm everyday and comes back on around 6pm. See Pics.

    Quick update: I cut off about a foot on each side of each cable and put on new connectors. It’s been almost a week with signal loss only 4 times on one camera over the span of 5 minutes. Part from that one off occurrence it’s working all good now. So….its the cable/connector.

    Yes, here you go....They are all down right now probably for the same reason why some of the cameras go down....still trying to figure it all out.

    Thanks....I will try this method to try to identify the issue. These are the cat5 cables and connectors that I used. Does anything seem wrong? Everest Cat5e RJ45 Pass Through Connector 50-Pack - EZ Cat 5e Pass Through RJ45 Connectors - Cat 5e Connectors - Ethernet Connector, Ethernet Plug -...

    My camera drops sending signal around 2pm everyday and comes back on around 6pm. See Pics.

    It’s pretty frustratinng….im not sure why it’s only on 2 of my cameras. I have the exact same setup at my other house and all my cameras have worked flawlessly forever. I’m about give up …it makes having cameras at this place kind of pointless if I can’t rely on signal

    My camera drops sending signal around 2pm everyday and comes back on around 6pm. See Pics.

    Like the tile says, my camera drops signal for 4 hours everday around the same time. I check the switch and the green power light is on but the orange light is NOT on. It restores itself about 4 hours later. Now a second camera has started behaving like this and has dropped signal for days. It...

    How to wire cameras? Wrap cable around house? In/Out through venting?

    Great thanks, very helpful. So I did find some cat5 cables that went out to home run box close the garage. It’s the brown box under the electrical box. This gets me much closer to the garage and then all I would do is wire from that area to the white door in the second picture. Thoughts? I would...

    How to wire cameras? Wrap cable around house? In/Out through venting?

    there is a space to enter the attic. Most of my camera installs are where the roof meet the wall, so the space is very small there like a tight triangle. The only way to tell is to just drill and hope i enter the attic? And then i somehow push the cable through enough that i can grab it on the...

    How to wire cameras? Wrap cable around house? In/Out through venting?

    I've seen a few soffit posts, but i don't believe i actually have soffit? See pictures below. It just seems like the roof extends over the house. How do i enter my attic? I've seen other wires on my house exit the attic on the side of the house through venting and just wrap around - it makes...

    Move PTZ to presets based on specific triggered IVS rules of another camera

    I thought the IVS rules to trigger certain actions would work really well and was excited about it. But if I have 2-3 IVS rules with different actions, I found it really hard to get working right. Instead, I use a combination of IVS rules and motion zones. I don't turn on motion triggering, but...

    Move PTZ to presets based on specific triggered IVS rules of another camera

    OK, thanks. I thought the "additive" option would only capture new zones/additional sources, so i wouldnt think triggering the same IVS rule would be considered a new source. Ill try the intrusion.

    Move PTZ to presets based on specific triggered IVS rules of another camera

    I did all this, and it works but im running into issues. I have a certain IVS rule trigger a preset with the keyword "PTZ". But sometimes my alerts in the memo field say the following: Its like the IVS rule is being triggered multiple times. When this happens, the alert does not pick up the...

    Does anyone know why i can't view the mainstream for the Panorama camera? It always look blurry like a substream. Whenever i click on a camera in blue iris, i notice the screen sharpen as it adjusts from substream to mainstream....but not for this one camera. The medium and distant views work...

    Windows 11 - Powerup after Losing Power?

    Yes the settings say that it will turn off pc when battery is 5 minutes left. I did a test….it says 50 minutes but only gets around 25 minutes. Had the battery a couple of years so probably time for a replacement. Should I just replace the battery or get a new ups? Even with a new battery, the...

    Windows 11 - Powerup after Losing Power?

    Ok so I’ve tested out the UPS issue. After the battery has drained and power is restored, the PC actually powers back on. However, it shortly turns off. Is this because the battery is drained on the UPS and it’s telling the pc turn off because the battery is low? I don’t think I can change these...

    Windows 11 - Powerup after Losing Power?

    OK actually interesting enough....i found it does restart after power loss. I just tested it. However, i have it on a UPS and when the UPS battery is drained and then the power is placed back on afterwards....it wont restart. Im not sure how this makes sense though

    Teaser Info and Mini Review - Empiretech B52IR-X3 Triple Lens Camera

    Hahaha that’s not me….someone strange walked around my property at night holding a bible and eventually walked off into a canyon that goes no where. The whole reason I setup the camera in that location is weird people come through that “hole” in the fence

    Using ethernet splitter for two cameras

    I ended up just setting it to “auto” and it actually turned out a lot better than me trying to mess with it. Once I’ll get more patience, I’ll try to do this manually and tune it in all the way….check it out

    Using ethernet splitter for two cameras

    some 5442 cameras. So i spent hours crimping and re-crimping my cat 5 thinking I did something wrong. I went back to the source and discovered that my father originally crimped the cat5 in reverse....well this was fun. All good now!
