Did anyone have to return the recalled cable they had installed? They sent me a new 500' spool of CAT6 and emailed me a return shipping label. I asked them what that was for and they said I had to send back all of the recalled cable that I remove and replace with the new cable. No way I'm...

Thanks I tried that and it worked! A bit disappointed and concerned about not having a password on it though. Are you running a VPN or extra security? I still need to setup remote access and a dynamic DNS I think. I'm new to BI :)

Nest Hello provides an option to share with password or share publicly. I don't think anyone wants to share publicly. Are you sharing publicly or are you saying you use the password option in Nest but then BI doesn't need a password? I'm not following.

Thanks. I can't get that to work either. I enter the password I creat but is there a username to enter or so you leave it blank? Also, what port should I use?

Does this still work? I used Microsoft Edge to "inspect element" for my Nest Hello but I don't see a link similar to what you mentioned "stream-us1..." Thanks!

Did you ever resolve the issue? I'm using a Dahua camera and am seeing the same thing. The picture in BI is much darker then on the camera web tool. Crushes black at night and can't see much.

Hi Agent do you end up mounting your cameras? If so, how did you end up doing it? I'm in the same dilemma. Thanks!

Anyone find a simpler solution for this? Pete's sounds pretty involved and convoluted lol

Thanks! Looks good! That is a good idea, it just seems like you need to be a good metal worker and I don't have all the tools for that :/

Ok is that bad? Lol. Already drilling other holes for screws and there are holes all in the soffit for venting. If it is that big of a concern it seems you could just seal it. I think those junction boxes aren’t very aesthetically pleasing and it just looks cleaner without it. Just making sure...

I’m trying to figure out how to mount to my metal soffit as well and don’t have a great way to mount to any wood behind it so I’m tempted to just mount to the soffit as well. Sounds like it is fine for most people. Sorry for my ignorance but why use the junction box besides to protect the Cat5...

Thanks for the feedback. Isn't adding IR llumination kind of defeating the purpose of the Colorvu providing a color image though? The IR turns it into a B/W image right? We don't have any street lights in my area so we just leave our flood lights on all the time. Maybe I should just get one...

Hey Coney I followed your colorvu thread and was about to order some for my house which is really dark outside. I’ve seen great reviews of the colorvu so I’m having second thoughts now that several of you in this thread aren’t recommending it. Can you expound on what it “lacks”? If you have...

Have you gotten the darkfighter yet? I have a similar setup as you guys and was looking at getting 1 colorvu to try at night. Some of the reviews look impressive. Looks like daylight in the middle of the night. Is the dark fighter even better or how does it and the colorvu compare?

Does anyone know if you can trigger the LED lights on this camera to come on when it detects motion? Thanks!
