    Sentry Smart Alert delays image sent via SMS

    Hello Everyone, Looking for a workaround or fix if possible. I have four Dahua cams that measure motion to trigger alerts to my cell phone via SMS. I have the option 'Attach current image' checked and for the last 2-3 years I get snapshots of people, cars, wild-life and my dog as the snapshot...

    Using PVC to build a budget pole for a PTZ

    i am not sure you are posting in the correct thread. I am not using a microphone on that PTZ so I have no audio.

    Using PVC to build a budget pole for a PTZ

    guide wires to stabilize the top of the pole onto the roof of the warehouse! thanks, that is a great idea! and I will look into LDR water pipe as an alternative option. All I know is that I looked into service poles, utility poles and flag poles and the pricing was all insane and often was...

    Using PVC to build a budget pole for a PTZ

    you would think that lighting would be less of an issue since PVC is not a conductor and that a metal pole would be an attractor? Also, if I use schedule 80 PVC, that is very thick, especially using a 3" pipe or I could even use a 4". so at that point I just cannot see swaying being an issue...

    Using PVC to build a budget pole for a PTZ

    What do you think about using three 10 foot lengths of 2", 2.5" or 3" PVC pipe to build a 30' tall pole in order to mount a Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN) on it? The Pipe would be butt-ended into a concrete pad and then the pipe would be strapped every 12" against...

    Turrets directly on wall or with a wall mount?

    does it really matter? If you can point the camera at the angle you want then mounting it directly onto the wall will save $$$ by not having to buy the mount and it would be less obtrusive and less easy to break off the wall by vandals...no?

    PTZ camera identification

    wtf? maybe your neighbor is better off purchasing some assault rifles instead of security cams if you HOA is against cams....that would make your neighborhood a safer place. Right? I hate what the NRA has done to our country, but maybe its time to set a new non-profit advocate for security...

    Does Netgear GS516TP support a Dahua SD49225T-HN POE+?

    good question, I have a fairly large network that spans between two buildings and I have two other netgear managed switches that I absolutely love as they tell me if there is an Ethernet fault. my current situation is that I have five cameras that I have had to dissconnect as one of them is...

    Does Netgear GS516TP support a Dahua SD49225T-HN POE+?

    There is so much misinformation out there and its pissing me off. I want to consolidate several IP cams via a 16 port Netgear GS516TP ( https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Rackmount-Lifetime-Protection-JGS516PE/dp/B00GG1ACX2 ). Unfortunately my premier cam is a Dahua Starlite SD49225T-HN which need...

    removing moisture in my Starlight PTZ

    you were right, there were 4 screws holding the hatch in place. I simply climbed a ladder and after loosening up the screws had a small cup worth of water douse my shirt. Even though we are in Tampa, its a somewhat hot and dryish day so I am going to let the sun do its work with the back cover...

    removing moisture in my Starlight PTZ

    I turned it on after we got power back yesterday (almost 6 days after the storm) and it appears to be working ok. I didn't notice the moisture until the afternoon sun hit it and the visibility quickly went south with a thick fog over the entire lens. Then as the fun hit the lens directly, it...

    removing moisture in my Starlight PTZ

    Crap, I am in the Tampa Bay area and my less than 3 month old Dahua Starlight SD49225T survived the storm, but now has a ton of moisture in it. When the sun hits it in the afternoon, the entire window on the front of the globe is covered in water vapor and its so much that it then develops...
