    I went on vacation for 3 weeks

    Similar but different experiences. My 3 down cameras came back up 5 days later without any input on my part. This is something I'm going to remember. Funny that the six cameras that didn't go down were of the same brand and model while the three that went down were different brands and models...

    EmpireTech IPC-Color4K-X is an amazing weather cam

    I found a 180 camera pointed above the neighbors house to be absolutely cinematic. Like watching a burning fireplace mesmerizing with the sound on.

    Track a Drone via Skycam

    Drones are required to emit an identity tag via 2 Gh (wifi?) to be legally flown. I'm going by memory but the need to broadcast identity is certainly a requirement these days as is licensing for flights of a certain type. Can you get any audio of something flying that high?

    This is a "general talk" and "chit chat" sub-forum.

    @Teken This is more like the one I made but in the late 90's... Have you got one of these?

    I went on vacation for 3 weeks

    This part right here (quoted above) is the uncool part of you. I once built a physical tap into my network that was invisible to the network and just sucked up network traffic. It became a bit useless with all the default https traffic. Those logs sit around until I get an instance of...

    For Those With Sky-Cams

    I was just trying to start a pleasant conversation with a human being rather than turning to chatGPT's LLM trained on ipcamtalk :0)

    For Those With Sky-Cams

    I heard Elon's low orbit starlink satellites fall out all the time and get burned up in the atmosphere. The satellites have aluminum and the aluminum is bad for the ozone or something. Now the Chinese may be playing the same game? Not cool.

    I went on vacation for 3 weeks

    Sorry I was glib. Wow, I didn't expect this much ;0) No, the BI NVR kept working. I could WOL to try and do a reset of sorts and it went down and came back up. What does bother me is that the recording space was enough for a little more than 3 weeks. Given three cameras were offline for...

    I went on vacation for 3 weeks

    On July 19, 2024 at approximately 10:42 PM my BI NVR with 9 cameras whited out (the images recorded were white in a non-uniform fashion as if a phenomenon was being recorded) as if overwhelmed by a lighting bolt. 3 of the cameras did not come back online and went "dead" while the rest...

    Annke FCD800 POE Dual Lens 180 degree 8MP $129 - Thoughts

    I have that. This it what it looks like with no lights of its own on be it white/LED/IR. It is a great night camera. It takes the ambient light and gives a great image in the pitch dark of night. On the right of this image is stray IR from cameras that can't see crap at night flooding...

    Latest Blue Iris 5 and Onvif Profile T

    I was looking for a bullet camera for the front door with AI that lights up LED's on being triggered. And a dual camera (Reolink Duo3 type) floodlight style camera. That work with 2 way talk on BI. I'm a simple guy with simple needs. :0)

    Latest Blue Iris 5 and Onvif Profile T

    I appreciate that input. I am able to use one way audio and the quality is maybe a little better than walkie talkie. But that quality would be fine to tell the delivery driver to leave the items at the door and to yell at the kids to get off the lawn. :0) My front door is enclosed and the...

    Latest Blue Iris 5 and Onvif Profile T

    I NEED a front door camera and a garage door camera with two way talk. Bought two cameras and sent them back because their two way did not work with BI. Have been going around in circles trying to have a better experience. IP camera OEM's can't tell me if their product is Onvif Profile T...
