Getting better cameras isnt going to help at all. The police will do zero to chase these guys down. In my area you can have a geolocator showing where the thieves have your property and the police still wont do anything. One guy had his motorcycle stolen and found out who they were and directed...

hey I figured it out double tapping the video screen hides the menus

No idea about power usage, but I dont like it when the fan is on. When Im not viewing any screens the fan stays off. I have 5 hik vision cameras, one bullet and 4 dome (3 are Hikvision IP Camera 4MP DS-2CD2142FWD-I ) Im in the process of switching to all bullets as I could never fix the glare...

I can hide the gigantic alerts screens, but I cant hide the pan/tilt/zoom section. The video ends up being a tiny portion of my kindle fire. Since none of my cameras can PTZ that menu is irrelevant, but in landscape mode it takes up half the screen Does anyone know if it is possible to hide...

Don't get any notifications. It has something to do with the app not running. When I manually open the app I get a bunch of alerts I have set the app to allow it to run in the background I think. Obviously I'm missing something Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Have blue Iris setup. While I have the app open it will notify me. When I open it gives me all the notifications that I missed. How do I have it give notifications on a Samsung Galaxy 8 (ish)? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I just had my cat 6 installed and have started putting up my cameras today. IR seems to be reflecting off my test dome so it seems like they dont work that well at night. Perfect during the day. Im worried 0% about facial identification. My experience is it is almost useless even when you get...

Ok so Im going to get this camera https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076RB1CSS/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3O870EHPBXYLW&psc=1 The camera says c or cs mount lenses. Not sure what a good lens with 200-300mm capability would be. Does it need an outdoor housing...

awesome thanks these suggestions are perfect. Im leaning towards the box cam and a 300mm lens. My neighbor keeps trespassing and I just need to get notified when he crosses the fence line (about 900 ft from my house) Will a lens like this work? Panasonic 100-300mm II

that one looks pretty good. I was surprised that one looks pretty good, is starlight a reputable brand? I was thinking to stick to hikvision or dahua, and was hoping to find something in the 200mm + range. Seems like there is no such thing. Hikvision makes this one which is about 1K...

Im not sure what you are getting at. My budget would be around $1K. hikvision etc have 135mm focal length cameras but they are $300 with 30X zoom. At that price I suspect it won't do what I need. Hikvision has one with more zoom, but also comes with thermal and is 4K or 5K. I was joking about...

I have Poe, need to detect a person moving around about 900 ft away. Ideally would be able to see clothing hair color etc. Don't need pan/zoom Don't need might time visualization although thermal would be cool Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
