Just so I'm on the right page here, did you mean to say that you digitally zoomed in to make the image the same size? Sorry if I'm reading this wrong.

Don't know if you have a Mac or not but here is what I do when I have to figure out a device on my network. 1: I unplug the device 2: I start up LanScan (or on an older mac ArpSpyX) and scan the network for devices. 3: I plug in the camera and rescan This will get me the IP address that got...

I just go a cool 360 camera from Andy's Memorial Day sale and it's up on the roof as I speak. My question is how to do a continuous recording plus record a timelapse? It would be nice to generate a mp4 daily timelapse but still get the 30 fps logging for other experiments (like looking for...

Thanks

Just to clarify, will the refirb cameras be on Amazon as well or will we shop somewhere else for them? Some really nice prices and I look forward to adding yet more cameras to my poor overloaded BI system. The next question is what time is the sale going to start, do I need to set and...

Thanks All, This is running on a VM so I was adding disk as I added cameras. I have enough disk for the cameras because when I go look I have files older than today. I rotate on 4Gig max size for all cameras and don't use time. Thanks SouthernYankee, I wasn't aware that deleting files...

Looking for some suggestions, BI keeps filling up my disk and I'm having an issue figuring it out. Here are the settings: Clips and archiving: New: goes to e:\New, Limit size 400 GB and move to folder Stored plus Queue for convert/export are the only options set. E drive is 512 G...

Thanks, I was thinking coating the dome with some hydrophobic spray like I use on my swim goggles (see quick spit or fog gone). For the price (< 150 on aliexpress) it's not a bad thing to try and see if I can get some night sky activiity. There is a much nicer camera (Starlight Xpress...

Has anyone ever pointed a camera straight up on the roof (sometimes called sky cam but googling that isn't very helpful). The Dahua IPC EB5531 is a 5MP fisheye and I'm thinking of getting one and sticking it on top of my weather mast. Not worried about the software side but I'm curious if...

How did you get the cameras to the TV, that's pretty neat. I have 13 active, 1 wireless, 12 POE all running on BI on an ESXi VM. The trick about enabling the substream really helped and the cpu is typically < 60%. I have some inside cams but they are all disconnected because I'm lazy. My...

One cable to the camera 2 main video feeds. Attached is my messy backyard but you can see the coverage is pretty nice, sadly the cameras are only 2M AND I need to do a better job aligning them but it's close to 180 coverage in a 4 mpix image. I'm running without the IR and there is enough...

Dang, thanks that was it.

I'm sure that Mike has his reasons but it would probably be very helpful if we could enable debug when having issues. I tried wireshark but didn't see any activity and to be honest the webcams produce a lot of volume. I haven't found a way for wireshark to monitor a PID so we're kinda stuck...

I've looked everywhere and I can't figure out where the control is for the hourly email, Somehow I turned it on and can't see where to disable it. Can someone point me to where it's setup? Thanks

Thanks, I guess I should look at scraping my LaCrosse thermometer and doing it myself.
