    Any word if 1/1.8" sensor amcrest bullet cameras are going to be back in stock any time soon? I had my eye on different camera, but noticed amcrest bullet 1/1.8" sensor cameras. Amazon listing is only for 4 cameras with dvr

    What are your reasons not to buy Lorex E891AB

    Besides the obvious "out of my price range", "already have too many cameras", etc answers, why would you not buy Lorex E891AB? For my case/scenario it is a perfect fit, but I am looking for a reason not to buy couple of them. Assuming they would fit your needs and case/scenario, why would you...

    Will riser network cable handle florida's heat in the attic?

    Definitely using pure copper and none of that CCA. I was even thinking about running 23AWG CAT6 since it has thicker conductor. Price difference isn't that much, and over the years I have gotten used to cat6 being a bit more stubborn. As for attic getting hot, my only point of reference is hot...

    Will riser network cable handle florida's heat in the attic?

    Just a regular riser cable?

    Will riser network cable handle florida's heat in the attic?

    Should I be concerned about running a riser network cable through the attic with florida's extreme heat? I ran riser cable through the attic in Pacific North West region and cable would get soft to the touch during summers, but here in Florida I feel like riser cable will just melt in extremely...

    LPR with HDView IP-5IR4080MZ-922

    Hmmm. In that case a different camera might be in order. Current camera's zoom maxes out at 22mm and picture provided is already with zoom maxed out. I just might trying to move camera closer as explained in original post, but hopefully weird angle doesn't make more problems. Thank you for...

    LPR with HDView IP-5IR4080MZ-922

    Trying my luck at getting LPR with IP-5IR4080MZ-922 by HDView (Amazon Link) but not getting a good result. Camera is setup on a warehouse wall with car traffic passing about 110ft from the camera. Angle to the passing cars and license plates should be around 30-35 degrees. The distance can be...

    WiFi issues, drop outs.

    Upon closer inspection today I realized that one solder connection came loose, probably when I was putting camera back together. After re-soldering and a bit of hot glue later, behold the result. [ 4] local 192.168.1.1 port 5001 connected with 192.168.1.47 port 45968 [ ID] Interval...

    WiFi issues, drop outs.

    So shot in a dark here. Removed original antenna on one of the cameras and soldered one antenna linked above. Can't really tell the difference. Both cameras (one with new and one with original antennas) do about the same in iperf, although neither produce steady results (from 200 Kbits/s to...

    WiFi issues, drop outs.

    20mhz is already set on 2.4 band and access point is fixed to channel 11 (low to no congestion). This camera works great with cat5 plugged in, but over wifi with access point without 10 feet with clear line if sight is just horrendous. At work we have one of the Reolinks (i think) wifi cameras...

    WiFi issues, drop outs.

    Has there been an update on 2CD2442FWD and wifi issues? Main reason I got 2CD2442FWD was for thew wifi but dropouts and signal losses are getting to a high of a number. Been thinking about replacing internal antenna with external one. Any clues...

    Geovision GV-FER12203 doesn't play well with BlueIris

    I ended up moving this camera to a BlueIris on a second system and it works great now. In camera properties I set 360 to ceiling which I think enables 360 dewarp when viewing clips and alerts. Keep in mind that if you use Camera Properties > Video > Rotation then dewarp doesn't work. The trick...

    Geovision GV-FER12203 doesn't play well with BlueIris

    Shouldn't IFrame match the FPS? I think everywhere I read people recommended setting it to match FPS.

    Geovision GV-FER12203 doesn't play well with BlueIris

    CPU Utilization is roughly 65-70% Going to try unticking the "Use RTSP/stream timecode" and report back. Camera stream settings are basically 4000x3000 15FPS 10Mbps and IFrame at 15 as well. I have tried lowering it down just in case the resource was too much, but it didn't help. What seemed...

    Geovision GV-FER12203 doesn't play well with BlueIris

    Got Geovision GV-FER12203 360 FishEye camera to test and so far it does not play well with blueiris. Main stream 4000x3000 with any bitrate when added to blue iris keeps dropping connections every couple seconds or sometimes looses connection for hours. Sub-stream works no problem. Already...
