    BI on PC looks like footage missing, but i can view it in phone app

    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.

    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...

    REVIEW: HIKVISION DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL

    Don't know I don't have one. However, it sounds like you may have a Chinese version with forced English firmware. I'm afraid there's no way to update it if that's the case.

    REVIEW: HIKVISION DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL

    Did you buy it cheap from an overseas site? Sounds like you got a foreign language version that's has custom adapted English firmware forced onto it. It's probably been upgrade locked because if you try to upgrade the firmware it will brick the camera.

    Camera thinks telephone pole is human

    One solution without retraining the AI would be to simply use a privacy mask and mask the pole. It's a pole so a black rectangle is no different. You might even be able to get away with masking within the pole depending on low large it is in the picture, so a little bit of pole can be seen each...

    2nd Amendment thread

    The irony is the uk announced it this week. You''re still going to need a licence to own a supressor in the UK, but previously they had to be registered by serial number like guns and had to be transferred with paperwork if sold enabling the authorities to keep a track of them, but now they can...

    The Typical picture of a Perp on Nextdoor-type Apps with Consumer Grade Cameras like Ring, Nest, Arlo, Canary, Wyze, etc.

    That's some lens distortion as well. Looks as if the cars had a shunt and been made a few feet more compact!

    Looking for low-light camera recommendation to use as navigation aid on a boat

    My only observations as feedback for Boateye, is maybe it would benefit from software image stabilisation to remove / minimise the boat sway & maybe progressive video instead of interlaced to reduce the issues with the railings producing a jagged, moire effect (I'm presuming it's interlacing...

    Moving to a new PC , my need some help.

    Not cheap but I can highly recommend Arceserve Shadow Protect for backups and transferring between PC's. It can make an exact mirror of your PC and do a hardware independent update, so you can change hardware components that are tied to Windows such as CPU or motherboard, and it won't blink...

    "Time out" Activation camera

    If you can't get web page access to activate it, then maybe there's an activation tool. There's one for Dahua cameras, unsure what brand you're using.

    Blue Iris discount no longer available?

    Sorry I thought Mike was the owner of BI. My mistake.
