Camera recommendations for Europe
For movement you want to be running a fast shutter anyway. A classic mistake is to obtain a "good"picture by boosting up gain and slowing shutter right down, only to get semi transparent nreognisable trailing ghosts when someone moves. The quality of your pic at night is always dictated by the...- CCTVCam

Nosey neighbor?
You could point it down a little to re-assure if anyoine comes around from law enforcement you're not deliberately looking at his property. Looking at your screenshots, lowering it to exclude the roof of his house would cover more of the ground in front of yours whilsts till giving you a view of...- CCTVCam

how to block wind rumble physically - wheres mic
It doesn't affect clarity. If you'd done this you'd probably understand that. I have just cheap fur pieces on mine from Amazon (are supposed to be mini dead cats but that's questionable). There's very little difference in general pick up and it's cetainly not reduced in clarity. Part of the...- CCTVCam

Dahua WizColor COMING SOON!
Wish they wouldn't TIOC everything, but provided it can be switched off, not an issue other than the money might be better spent elsewhere. Looking forward to some reviews though especially vs 4kt and 541R. My biggest fear having watched their demo videos is the low light performance might not... -
Blue Iris Forums Gone?
Thanks. Its the blank board that fooled me. The forums only show up when you log in as per asterling. :thumb: -
Blue Iris Forums Gone?
Hi, Have the Blue Iris forums completely gone? I went to the BI website to try to find some info about BI 6.0 and it said the forums were no longer linked due to issues with spam bots and to add bbs to the forum address. I tried this, and ended up at an empty blank board with no forums /... -
What PTZ to buy for a 22 acre property?
Try 2-4mp on a PTZ. Many might say 2mp for max night view. The pixel count matters much less because the optical zoom gets you in close negating the need to zoom into the picture manually for a better look & ensuring sharpness and clarity. All depends on how you set the zoom up, but many have it...- CCTVCam

Why so apprently limited options to secure the admin account on Dahua cameras?
Wireguard built into Asus Router. Couldn't get OpenVPN to configure. It resets the key when the router is powered down. -
Would a Properly Wired House for Security Cameras Increase its Value?
For that price you could probably just run armoured Cat 5. My upstairs PC Cat 5 goes external so I bought some armoured Cat 5 they use on oil rigs etc. I'd think it's more rodent resistant than the thin mesh. It's got a really thick tough coating around a wire wound outer consisting of... -
Would a Properly Wired House for Security Cameras Increase its Value?
In the UK I'd say no. However, it may increase the saleability of your home as it's another plus point and differentiating factor from other homes. People are not blind tot he fact it would cost a lot of money and disruption to wire LAN networks into a house at a later date. Some recent estate... -
Why so apprently limited options to secure the admin account on Dahua cameras?
Yep exactly what I do. Only downside to a VPN is I've found if the router reboots, it changes the key, so you cannot remote in until you retreive the new key from your router locally and enter the new key on your mobile device. However a small price to pay for security. -
Why so apprently limited options to secure the admin account on Dahua cameras?
None of this would make much difference. Many Cameras have known exploits, and many of these allow hackers to circumvent the User Name / Password. Connecting any camera to the internet without a VPN is risking it being hacked and either botted, watched or bricked. eg On a Black Hat video I saw... -

Blue Iris no longer respecting storage limits
Make sure as well you have maintenance set. I have my database set to repair daily. Most set it to weekly. This can also avoid many storage issues as it corrects errors on the database. Also, have you checked "C" drive for integrity? Do you have SMART Disc Health reporting set up? One... -
3am TikTok Pranking Teens Get Shot, & Armed Homeowner Is Arrested In Virginia : Colion Noir
So the homeowner got charged for shooting someone seemingly breaking down his door? I'm guessing this is either a state that doesn't allow a castle style defence or maybe other factors are in play.
