    Smart Camera with Hand Gestures?

    I like that idea. Perhaps a clone and a schedule to send an audible alert only between Midnight and 5 AM?

    Smart Camera with Hand Gestures?

    Exactly. I'd like to see a standalone camera with the AI to accomplish this sort of deterrence. When recently shopping for a new security system, a merchant on YouTube offered his opinion that perimeter security systems which monitor doors and windows are useless, as criminals know they can get...

    Smart Camera with Hand Gestures?

    Apparently their service allows for hidden hand gestures to alerts the security staff that a person approaching has permission to approach.

    Smart Camera with Hand Gestures?

    The camera I had heard about briefly was actually a monitored service "Deep Sentinel", where a live agent speaks through the camera's speaker to inform an intruder that they are on private property. I had thought it was for a standalone product. Here's a link: Best Home Security System Company...

    Smart Camera with Hand Gestures?

    I heard that there's an outdoors smart security camera which can recognize preset hand gestures, and has a speaker to automatically announce to uninvited guests that they are being watched. Any leads on what this camera might be?

    OpenALPR Tool - Save and Query CSV Exports

    Hmmm. Does the Push notifications work okay from their pushover.net website? I believe they have a way to test the feature there. Also, you don't need to install their app on the local machine in order to leverage PushOver.

    OpenALPR Tool - Save and Query CSV Exports

    Within your OpenALPR CSV files, each record's row has two time stamps. This is how mine looks: epoch_time_end 2021-12-26T11:56:11.920Z Yours should be similarly structured. Being in the UK, each of your records should be showing the true time, as epoch time is based on GMT. In my case, the...

    LPR camera placement

    I painted the casing of my Z12 to match the house color, so as to not make it stand out as much. If you mount the camera on the tree then you can maybe paint it brown to match the bark. Another idea is to place a small plastic fake branch on top of it, to blend in and hide. Update: Something...

    Questions from a first-timer.

    I like the idea of Ubiquiti Nano Stations for securely beaming LAN over the air. They have a discontinued and reasonably priced model still available on AMZN, but they require local power. So if you have a detached garage but with local power then these internet radios would be ideal...

    PoE Extender - 2 Cameras on 1 Cable

    The specs on my own Z12 say power consumption is 3.2W, and 10.3W with IR on. In my daytime configuration, I have the illuminator set to "ZoomPri" at 100%, and am consuming only 3.63W. The PoE splitter says the max. is 8W per device, while the splitter itself consumes <=3W. Hope this helps.

    PoE Extender - 2 Cameras on 1 Cable

    I have a 16 port 150W PoE managed switch. The 5.7W is the value seen on the one switch port itself, so both cameras and the splitter together are only drawing that amount. Correction: I was looking at the wrong switch port. Here's a list of the PoE power on each port. 12.59W: PTZ SD49225T-HN...

    180 degree driveway view ?

    A good general plan with PTZ is to use a spotter camera which when triggered for motion causes the PTZ to move to a preset.

    180 degree driveway view ?

    Another option besides a PoE switch port is to use a non-PoE switch port with an additional PoE power injector.

    New camera with some questions

    One of the nifty features of Blue Iris is the ability to clone a camera. That way, with one camera you could have different rules for motion detection, and video and jpeg storage. Be sure to check out the BI videos on the Blue Iris forum...
