    Good IP Cameras That Don't Need IR Lights

    Following up on this (had some family things going on), I guess what I'm really looking for are cameras that have similar performance to the Hik ColorVu cameras I already have, but perhaps in a smaller form factor (these are quite large) and higher resolution. Here's an example image from one...

    Good IP Cameras That Don't Need IR Lights

    I've seen discussions here from a few years ago, but what kinds of cameras work well in outdoor night-time situations without IR lights? What does everyone like these days? I wouldn't mind seeing options in the sub-$200 range if that can be achieved.

    Small, USB-Powered, Outdoor Wifi Camera?

    Small, USB-Powered, Outdoor Wifi Camera?

    I have a location I need a camera in, and it's just not going to be practical to get ethernet there. But there is a light socket nearby, so I can tap into that for power and then use wifi. I've seen some light-socket-to-USB "adapters" on Amazon like this -...

    Flood Light Mount?

    Does anyone make solutions for mounting wifi cameras to existing flood lights? Running ethernet to this particular location is.... not ideal, but power is already there and it's always on because the bulbs are smart bulbs. Would prefer a general mounting solution so I can use the camera of my...

    Loose Ball Joint Repair/Alternatives?

    That's a smart idea. I'll look into that. Maybe a good excuse to buy a battery-powered hot glue gun. (More tools are always better, right??) Yeah your guess seems reasonable here. Realistically, I think that style of mount is just not the best for temporary setups. I may also be able to...

    Loose Ball Joint Repair/Alternatives?

    I've got a few cameras, Hik 2032-style, that use friction ball joints for aiming. They're used in temporary setups, so they get moved around a lot. They've gotten so loose that they won't stay aimed anymore. Can these be repaired or are there alternative mounting solutions for these cameras...

    iOS Black Screen

    When I view the list of cameras, the thumbnails are fine. When I tap on an individual camera... IMG_6116.PNG Blue iris 5, latest iOS app, iOS 13 public beta 2 although this was also happening on 12.3.1.

    iOS Camera Connect Failed

    I’m trying to get the iOS camera functionality working. When I try to connect.... So I guess what I’m asking is this: how exactly does this feature work? Do I need to forward another port? How exactly does it connect to the BI server. Everything else is working fine on the mobile app.
