Just got 2 cams from Andy.. cant find playback menu in IE
No one was being condescending. If you put your ego to one side for a second then you'll realise that notifications have nothing to do with recording. They're notifications. Triggers, trigger recording. A triggered recording will take place irrespective of whether it notifies you it's doing so... -
Just got 2 cams from Andy.. cant find playback menu in IE
Notifications are irrelevent. That's just what you set it to tell you. If you set it to trigger recording on motion, it will trigger recording on motion. If you're recording to an SD card which has limited memory, then it will over write anything already there. So that burglar it records when... -

Warning you will get a lot of false alerts using both motion and tripwires so expect to spend a lot of time watching trees, insects, snowflakes etc. Most of us here use Tripwires + AI to cut the false alerts even further. -

You don't need motion alerts plus tripwire. Motion detects motion .... it's prone to false alerts from swaying bushes / trees ie wind, heavy rain, snow, moving shadows, insects, birds etc. Tripwires on the other hand will only activate if something crosses a wire in the direction specified by... -
How to move Blue Iris to a new PC?
PC cloning / backup software is 1 option where you can just clone your existing machine to the ewn hardware. Has to be an App that supports hardware independent installation though as you can't clone to new hardare using Apps that don't. You also need to want to back up your pc's anyway...- CCTVCam

New plates coming to Indiana. Thoughts?
Ours pick you up for altering the spacing or using a different font, with up to a 1k fine. Depends on the force but more and more are doing it. They seem to ignore crime and go after motorists instead for every little infraction. You can barely move for speed cameras now with many being average... -
New plates coming to Indiana. Thoughts?
UK has compulsory yellow on black (rear) and black on white (front). As most govn spped etc cameras work on the rear view, i seems they decided black on yellow was the best combo. Our rules are really strict though for lettering font, spacing, size, material, refelctivity etc. example UK... -
Trouble Accessing Cams via Web Interface
I had issues like this a while ago after one of my cameras had gone offline and I reset it. I had to resort to connecting it direct to a laptop. I can't remember exactly how I solved it now, apart from multiple resets, but it was to do with a network address issue. Before I managed to contact... -
Is ChatGPT right about IP camera settings?
Trouble with AI is in google's version at least, and in my experience on my phone, it just regurgitates the marketing blurb found on the manufacturers website. The links at the end of the text. So you're getting nothing more than an advert.- CCTVCam

Could be a database error. Have you tried repairing the database? -
Amcrest or EmpireTech
Buy 3 cams save for 4th. Better than spending 4 cams worth of money only to be disappointed and have to buy all 4 again.- CCTVCam

Do tripwires work at night with IR illumination?
Ah Ok. Though that was their picture but it's early. If it's working how you need it to then that's fine. My experience of trips is they're the best but placement can be crucial as you're trying to draw a 2d line in a 3d scene and objects can pass behind if you're not careful. -
Recommendations for a Doorbell to use with BI
I thought the Unifi was the best or are the integration issues a problem? -
Do tripwires work at night with IR illumination?
The trip wires are in the foreground and people / objects are passing behind not through them. The clue here is look at the wires in relation to the tree trunks. You need to think 3 dimensionally. Where is it you want them to be tripped? If someone passes through the trees? Walks down the...
