    Camera for temporary external use - Tapo?

    I'm in need of a low-cost camera for temporary use on the exterior of a property. It needs to work with Blue Iris. The camera will be re-deployed later to monitor an outbuilding. Looking at the Tapo Outdoor (TP-Link) (around GBP40) but that has big WiFi anntennas. Is there anything more...

    EZVIZ multiple DB1C with single smart chime ?

    I'm looking at the EZVIZ products. Some support 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz and others only 2.4GHz. That might be something to consider (not sure of actual performance in situ)

    Clips not playing

    This is now working. Not sure what happened. I might have moved the data connector (drive was spinning) when I removed the PC cover (as I sometimes do during warmer weather), but the drive caddy was seated below the cover so...

    Flat Ethernet cable

    That is helpful, thank you. WRT the spec "The SSTP (Shielded Foil Twisted Pairs) are made from full copper strands". It's going to be a pain to install, although it will be behind a fascia board and sandwiched between that and the original wooden fascia board (probably 3mm gap).

    Flat Ethernet cable

    I have a camera installation where flat cable would very much ease the install. The camera is a Dahua turret and to be powered by POE. The flat cable is advertised as Cat 8 with a height of 2.8mm. This low profile will very much ease its routing behind a fascia board and through the exterior...

    Clips not playing

    Set to record 10 seconds when triggered and clips show with 10 sec (approx) duration. However, one the main console (BI server) playback controls are greyed out. On my mobile I see the alerts (push notifications) and clip but again no playback. Any thoughts on what could be the issue please? (I...

    Anneke FCD600 dual lens 6MP turret camera.

    I know the Anneke FCD 600 6MP (not 4K ver) is not the best but I'm thinking it might meet my needs for video coverage of a side passage at the boundary of my property. The passage is narrow, at just under 3' (which would be less once I mounted the camera on a junction box). The frontage of the...

    Video clips on alerts not playing back on mobile

    I'm running BI 5.3.0.3 and not have not touched it for at least 12 months. The Windows box it runs on has been upgraded as when Mircosoft pushed updates and insisted. I can view live on my mobile (a Google Pixel 7) and I can see the thumbnails of the alerts/clips. However, when I click on them...

    Dahua HDW3549 camera for additional coverage of parking at front of property

    1/2.7” CMOS image sensor, low illuminance, high image definition So it's not a Starlight, but is it good enough in the dark?
