    Painted front door cam and New server build (WIP)

    BI is a breeze... just need time to tinker with it... The contrast of the white face looks good IMO.

    Finally some progress with my cameras.

    NP , I like discrete, but from my recordings of solicitors and strangers that come up and actually notice, they def. Seem to change their demeanor, and for some reason I like that.... hoping it keeps the honest people honest. :)

    Finally some progress with my cameras.

    For the front door cam, this was the best angle I could find that worked to ID people and not have issues with my lighting.... the 2nd cam in the post is the same issue, if I point it down any more the light next to it gets in the view and make a the Ir go nuts. Reviewing the videos of any...

    Finally some progress with my cameras.

    I shimmed it with one small washer on the top bolts.... was wayyyyy less of an issue compared to the recent complaints from other people...i just put it on a table and added what was needed to get it back to true.

    Yep, it's nice being able to own multiple houses instead of being some chump renter... money is good to have.

    Finally some progress with my cameras.

    I can take more pics after work I suppose... this was the best of the few choices I had... to get a similar house with the acre I was wanting(no hoa) was about 300k more.... completely out of budget for the life style I live.

    Finally some progress with my cameras.

    Agreed, the garage cam is purely for my OCD problem of turning around a few mornings a week to make sure the garage is closed.. if anyone gets into the garage they will be ID'ed by the outside cams. The lights are LED lights with a photocell that Costco sells...got sick of the wife not turning...

    Finally some progress with my cameras.

    Added a dome for the garage and painted the face on the outside cams... I'm glad I did too, looks much better! It made no sense for me to hide the wire since the alarm wires from the house are already exposed from whoever installed it.... and it's a garage... who cares...

    Networking Forum?

    It's not that, any posts in chit chat are washed out fairly quick with bday messages.... so many users, it's rare I catch a post like this.... for me anyways

    Networking Forum?

    I think getting rid of the happy bday posts would be the most beneficial here. Send that crap to email!

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I think you need to understand there are people that want a great all around camera but are not willing to do the research of what is needed, IMO this is a solution a lot of people need here, instead of figuring out sensor/lense/wdr/aperture/etc. I truly believe this camera can't be beat for...

    What do you guys think?

    Yeah, on the nextdoor app, it is literally a weekly post about how someone's dog or cat is getting killed in their yard, or even on a leash with their owner on the walking paths....coyotes and owls have been snatching them up. Like you said, coyote do what they gotta do...

    What do you guys think?

    Well good thing you don't live here and let him outside on his own free will... Quite disappointed with the cameras ability to facial ID coyotes! ;) On I side note... I feel like I'm lucky as hell with BI, I have had NO problems with motion detection and false positive alerts... Only one I'm...

    What do you guys think?

    Yeah, we have bought 2 toys that are dog "indestructible "... that is a load of bs... they guarantee it... but they know people aren't gonna waste their time sending it in.... She has been out since this encounter and doing well. Time to get her a buddy soon.

    Dahua Backdoor Uncovered

    Seem to me, if you treat every camera as vulnerable and take the steps to stop that, you won't have problems from the get go.
