I had the same issue with the same model camera. POE switch just wasn't cutting it anymore it seems. The switch said it was putting out in the neighborhood of 15 watts to this model. It would endlessly spin on random PTZ moves, just not display video, but still could get to web interface...

I have seen a few cams get updates in chipsets and performance, but not really changing the rest of the camera. Just curious if the MiniPTZ line might be up for a refresh this year. I have a location that these MiniPTZ rigs work great, but the 2MP version I had died. Seems that most people...

My understanding from the little time I get to spend in this "hobby" is that it is a newer chipset like said above. For most of the cams here that get the newer hardware it seems to be a pretty good jump in performance. Funny because I just came to ask if anyone knows about an S3 update or...

Not working yet as I don't have any of the hardware yet, but it doesn't seem overly complicated. I have done similar projects in the past so my confidence level is high ;). If you look at those amazon listings I posted, the one for the rectifier shows the pinout as far as where to hook AC and...

To elaborate a bit more on the wiring of the 433mhz receiver...I looked into it a bit and was thinking of taking the 20ish volts AC going to my existing doorbell using a bridge rectifier like this: https://a.co/d/264lMPX to change to DC voltage and then to the receiver. https://a.co/d/6CHBMIV...

I like the idea of using the relay to use an existing chime. I was thinking of something similar with an esp8266 and a relay using home assistant, but this would be independent of home assistant if anything should happen to it. I think if I did this I would use a bridge rectifier and wire this...

Can this doorbell cam be setup via a browser as well? I have no intention of this thing every getting to the internet and don't want to have to install an app just to get it working. Never used a reolink before so I'm not sure what I'm getting into if I try this.

Right...I just jumped on that post because I had the same exact issue just a little later in time. I've done the things suggested there already and I can't think of anything else to try. So it looks like I'm in shopping mode now. I wasn't aware of the 4MP version of the cam...or didn't...

Like the title says...just had a SD1A203T-GN die today...it won't respond to factory reset and just spins the PTZ all the time. See this thread. I took a look at Andy's amazon store and saw this same model, but don't really wanna spend money on the same model. So I'm wondering if anyone here has...

Hello, Not trying to hijack here, but I have the same situation. Was working last night...not this morning. I pulled it down from its perch and took it inside. Tried to factory reset with button. Not sure of the exact procedure here, but held it down for about 15 seconds while powered up...

Wow. I think that is a tall ask for a mini PC. Most desktop PCs as well. You want to take 58MP 15 times a second, run object detection and then facial recognition and then have home assistant send out notifications after running an automation. It would take a pretty beefy computer to do all...

Just a quick FYI...Frigate does not do face recognition. Frigate does object detection. You can use doubletake with frigate which then uses other things like deepstack or compreface to do face recognition. You can make it all work together so that if frigate detects a person doubletake can...

Are the "spots" on the SUV not just the reflection of the trees above and to the side? Just what I would think I'm seeing when I look at the picture. Chipmunk...yeah kinda hard to tell exactly what that is, but it is also in both light and dark areas. Driveway I can't speak to, but you have a...

@EMPIRETECANDY This SD49225T-HN was one I bought from you a while ago. It works OK for a quite a few months now, but would be nice to be able to see in a browser without a plugin. Could you take a look at this thread and see if you have any ideas of something I can try with this cam? All the...
