Anyone here familiar with them? Right now I have an open rack set up in a closet. Seeing more and more break ins with the burglars destroying CPUs and NVRs if they find them. How secure are the locking rack models? Was considering something like this Locking Server Rack Thanks.

Not so good, it kept losing the stream and quitting the application. I did get one good read off of it when I had it set for 1 direction but it needed more dialing in for both directions on my street. I gave up after a couple days trying it out...

So i have some presets set up for the camera to go to at specific times. Today I just wanted to watch preset 4 all day. I turned off idle time, and I turned off the schedule but no matter what it always resets to preset 1. I even set preset 4 as the reboot goto and restarted both the camera and...

So the maker of Speedcam Traffic sent me a trial. I'm searching on here but can't find this info: What's the address to connect to a substream of one of my cameras? Anyone else wanna have a go at it? LINK EDIT: OK I found this...

Good to know! Thanks.

I like this idea, gonna have to look for that thread. I reached out to this software maker. The camera I use for street traffic overview is a PTZ (SD52C225U) pointed down the street in the morning and up the street in the afternoon. I wasn't sure if the software need a locked off camera or if...

If I spray painted a couple of marks (x?) feet apart on the street, is there a way to calculate the speed of the car?

Thanks @Wildcat_1, @bigredfish and @wtimothyholman That did the trick. Here is the 7pm switch and still going strong later: 7pm 8pm

I've got it set to switch 45 min before sunset for tonight (7pm PST) the switch from night to day has no problem so far for the past 2 nights. The other thing I can't figure out is I'm only at 88ft so I thought this was only supposed to happen at longer distances? If this works out ok I might...

OK I thought I read something about a reflector. I was considering purchasing a reflective road marker to stick in the middle of the road where it's focused. I'm still reading but I thought @bigredfish mentioned keeping the IR on for a day/night setting helped also? Or is it just a single B/W...

That's awesome! Didn't even think of that for any of my cams. Gonna have to set that up. I'm having the focus shift issue now though when switching to night on the Z12 (using day/night profile). Reading back through the thread to see my options....

I will probably end up doing this. But I would still like a trigger event to work. Makes it easier to scan the cars when looking. I'll dial up the sensitivity even more tonight.

What settings on BI are you guys using at night to trigger recordings on the Z12. Daytime is picking up every car that passes but last night after I got the camera dialed in and could see the plates, there aren't any triggered recordings.

That's ultimately what the city will end up doing if we get a traffic study. We want to show up with as much ammunition to move forward as quickly as possible, so video of cars running the intersection with out stopping and the car counts from my home cameras will hopefully show them that they...

Thanks Tony, that was a concern of mine as well and why I am hoping to use a neighbors house but so far the closest one in our watch group is 3 houses down from the stop sign but it might work. Currently we've only seen radar trailer boxes with a camera that record/show your speed for the city...
