    Backseat cameras for watching kids

    It's not wathng them as such, it's flicking the eyes down for less than 1 second to check them. The same way you do when you look in the rear view mirror, or look down at the speedo.

    Backseat cameras for watching kids

    It's not for the fun of it, rather knowing what they are up to. I pick up my son from Day care an it's a 15 minute drive home and it's his nap time when he gets home, most of the time he falls asleep by himself. It's a real pain to get him to sleep at home and can take 30 minutes, so I want to...

    Backseat cameras for watching kids

    Not 100% dashcam, but sort of related... Has anyone got any clever ideas for a back seat camera for watching kids while in the car, especially when they are rear facing and you can't see them. I was thinking of all sorts of elaborate Raspberry Pi installs, but ultimately want something robust...

    Dahua Audio Problems

    Yep, changing the audio to MJPEG and removing the noise filter. The noise filer seems to make it sound like the mic is in a tin can.

    This is the first time it has been during the day time and the music is usually during the night. The music is so loud I can't hear my TV, sleep, or even have a conversation. If you read what i wrote I was resonable and spoke to them at first and they became dicks about it. Dutchlincoln, how...

    Local Council Trimming Trees

    It looks a little like when you first get a haircut and you have the odd hair sticking out... I'm assuming they knew what they were doing and that it will grow in a but better as they had a whole lot of guys up there and they were discussing anything before they cut.

    You Tube Live Stream of Cams

    Is anyone streaming a cam to YouTube Live Stream as a method of remote viewing? I'm interested to see what people are doing.

    The house to the left of the camera, and about 15 metres behind it (behind the cam)

    Here's another example of the audio. A bit of background first. The reason we put the cameras in was because we have idiot neighbours who play their stereo at unreasonable levels. I talked to them one day and asked them to turn it down and they turned it up louder. So we started calling Noise...

    The same rules apply for conversaions, but it is illegal to intercept communications - ie phone calls etc... Interestingly in NZ we have the Search and Surveillance act which gives the police the right to recovery any recording or photograph from any person at any time without warrant. I've had...

    New Zealand law allows filming in public places unless the person has the right to believe they have privacy. The police give the following advice: It is generally lawful to take photographs of people in public places without their consent. However, you must not film or take photos of people if...

    A daytime audio sample of some kids walking by. There seems to be a high pitched noise present that is only there when I upload to YouTube.

    I've managed to sort out the audio options by turning off the noise reduction and changing the encoding to MPEG2. Here's a small sample - not much happening outside today so it's not that interesting. Will clip something better and provide some better samples.

    The menu is in Chinese but Chrome does a pretty good job at translating.
