I use an Amcrest wifi camera for watching my entry doors. I use the 2MP version but they have a newer 4MP version and both models come in either black or white. Have my cameras set up in Blue Iris. See links below: Amazon.com : Amcrest 1080P WiFi Security Camera 2MP Indoor Pan/Tilt Wireless IP...

Thanks looney and rizzo, will contact Andy directly

Andy, I purchased 4 lottery tickets 2-3 day ago. I have not seen the invoice (lottery numbers) nor has my credit card been charged for the purchase. I made the purchase on your website. Perhaps I missed something in the purchase? Please advise. Thanks.

If you have smart TVs, then you might want to try Channels DVR software (https://getchannels.com/dvr-server/) with the TV Everywhere feature in Channels DVR enabled. Spectrum supports TV Everywhere. There are many additional features which are too numerous to mention here. The software license...

I've got a Nellys DB1 style doorbell and I am using the Guarding Vision app. It is functioning properly and is integrated with BI5. I'm just wondering what others use and if I'm missing any nice features if I were to go with another app. Appreciate your thoughts.

I've had great luck with refurbished machines over the years and would also recommend them as long as it is from a reliable seller. You mentioned you wanted a machine to learn/run linux. Have you thought about a raspberry pi4? Great little machine for $100 more or less depending on configuration.

Great costume and perfect colors for the holiday!

PM sent for one of the z12's.

I was a Wink user until they started charging a monthly fee and decided to move to another platform. I looked at both Smarthings and Hubitat as I liked the idea of local control. In the end, I decided to go with Smartthings because I have a lot of Lutron Caseta switches installed and Hubitat...

TonyR, I think you are correct that perhaps one of the fawns was "adopted". Earlier last month I saw a doe with one fawn and another doe with 2 fawns all in the same area but at different times. If you notice, one fawn is a bit smaller than the other two. Perhaps the doe with the single fawn...

I believe it is unusual for a Doe to have 3 fawns. Thought you might enjoy this clip.

I went with the Schlage Camelot Connect locks. They are a grade 1 lock but as was said, make sure the jamb is reinforced. Very happy with the locks. You can catch them for a decent price if you shop around and depending on the style wanted.

I second TonyR's recommendation. I have a couple of those Amcrest cams inside pointed at entry doors. They work very well with BI. Recently Amcrest emailed me a special on the 4MP version and it too looked like a price performer. Think it was $20 more than the 2MP.

Agree, most likely thinking it is a place to nest. I have a camera mounted under an eave and the same thing is happening. The camera has had a starling (looks like the same type as the one on your cam) take a run at the camera two or three times.

First one I've seen around here. Lots of other wildlife. Thought you'd enjoy this.
