    I need some help using Zosi C611 cam without official app

    I just did a quick search for "Zosi SDK" and there was a promising github page and a subredit. I did not pursue further but you might find valuable info or post your questions on the subredit. Hopefully it is an active community.

    Fixed My New PTZ5A4Mx25's sloppy installation. How should I Fix this Better?

    PFA120 is the way to go in my opinion. I think that using flashing is going to be problematic in the long term. The PFA120 is not so heavy to cause problems with your mount. Personally, I would mount the box directly to the mast without the angle standoff. 3M 33 tape does not hold up well to...

    I just spent over 4 minutes rooting for that poor guy! I can imagine his frustration for an hour of dealing with that.

    Blue Iris Screen Flashing

    Next couple of days are going to be frigid! Not good man lift weather! Looking at your other thread, you did a good job of wire tying the cable up the tower. Note that wire ties UV degrade over several years. It is hard to tell what the backside of the camera looks like. I prefer unistrut to the...

    Blue Iris Screen Flashing

    How long is the cable in the spool? A Cat5e signal degrades after 300ft. If you have a 1000 ft spool, I would go ahead and finish the run so you eliminate the excess cable length. Also, we use POE switch generically but that camera has a peak power usage of 21w. It calls for POE+. Make sure...

    Blue Iris Screen Flashing

    Your camera is pretty high up. Be careful with the ladder! There are things you can do from the ground before you head up. You can plug into a different POE port, use a different POE power supply, use the config tool to see if it defaulted back to the original IP address, use binoculars to...

    Blue Iris Screen Flashing

    Does it do the same thing if blue iris is not running? It looks like a popup is persistently coming up and a popup blocker is shutting it down. Some programs are allowed to display on top of other running programs. Maybe BI then says "Not on my watch!" Like @looney2ns said above. Reboot and...

    Surly Guy Checking Back In... New Cams, New Questions

    Far from the expert but SD is speed dome. There is no need to change it or any way afaik. I think that the front of the dome is set at 0 degrees so 90 would be to the right, 270 to the left. It is not compass point unless the front is pointed to north. I haven't set up a pattern yet.

    Camera reliability?

    @JohnKol I commend you for sticking around for 6 weeks all the while getting beat up. Trolls tend to lob a comment and then slink away to their parents basement. I don't think it is fair to call you a Troll. You put up with a lot of abuse. This discussion avoided me when it was volatile but I...

    Camera 8 > 4 mp.

    @wittaj I have read your responses to this question a dozen times and believe it is also in the WIKI. I imagine that when you say "the same 1/2.8" sensor" you mean the same size and not same model sensor. If we were to look at the board on a quality camera, I suspect we would see different...

    Merry Christmas And Happy New Year!

    Andy, If you do not mind me asking, what camera do you carry on vacation? These pictures are phenomenal! I also hope you do not mind that I used the first one as my PC wallpaper. I do not know your religious beliefs but I see God in every one of these. Thanks for sharing!

    Top of the Tower

    Wow! I don't think the guy with the yellow harness was tied off and the orange harness was tied off to the rail. Only approved time off points are on either side of the control panel. Either way, standing on the rail is a no no!

    Merry Christmas everyone!

    So there are enough guys from the great white north here to answer a question. My roomie years ago was from Wisconsin. We were living in upstate NY and this was my first foray into a heavy snow. Being from Texas, this was not my favorite memory. So we shoveled and shoveled and got the driveway...

    Merry Christmas everyone!

    I always loved fresh snow like that. It is beautiful with no tracks. Then you try to start a snow blower that you did not properly "summerize" and hate it from that point forward! Merry Christmas all! In beautiful central Florida, 75/65 and rain for Christmas!

    Camera Misses Snowplow

    I thought it might be a towed plow but it sure looks like a Jack knifed water tank on trailer. I've got 20 winters up north and don't recall ever seeing one.

    The official "WTF" thread

    A guy here, hit a gator with his Tesla. Since my recollection frequently sucks but I just asked him for the details. The gator tore off the "skid plate" and ripped off the coolant line which leaked out. He said the St. Petersburg Florida service center had it ready in two days. So all that...

    In Lakeland Florida, the city controls guy that did the lights called them in after hours and since it was a safety issue, he got an overtime callout to fix the issue. He got fired and arrested for stealing from the city!

    Guy in Florida got a plate that said "tastee" which got approved. After approval, someone noticed that he had Manatee plates. PETA got involved. He refused to turn them back in until someone found that there is a law in Florida that it is illegal to intentionally outsmart a government official...

    Uneven lighting on IPC-Color4K-T180

    Yes, It is just temporarily mounted now. When physically mounted, it will be right. Just while I am toying, it would be nice to be right side up. The option is on the camera configuration page on other cameras.

    Uneven lighting on IPC-Color4K-T180

    Of course, I have not figured out how to flip it upside down. I think it is probably that option not showing up in edge or other browser. Also SmartPSS does not show up.

    Uneven lighting on IPC-Color4K-T180

    Thanks! I had jumped to a conclusion since the spotlights had been on. You are absolutely right! It was sitting on an adjustable ladder in scaffolding mode with a board on it. That is the two wings in the first picture. The problem child was the shiny tag that is on the cable in the second...

    Uneven lighting on IPC-Color4K-T180

    I just started playing with this camera and wondered if there is a way to normalize the lighting on an IPC-Color4K-T180. This is a temporary location so I did not bother to invert the picture. I have spot lights to the right of the camera (left since inverted) so it is brighter. Both sides look...

    Conduit/Cable Run From House To Tuff Shed For Camera Installation

    Great install! Looking at the camera sun shields, are these commercially available? They almost look like modified garden hose hangers. I have used cut up 5 gallon buckets but they do not hold up to UV light well.
