    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    I'll get some pics after dark tonight. This shadowing starts as soon as into goes into IR mode. It doesn't even need to be that dark to start seeing it.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    I just got this camera and experienced the same left and right stripes through the picture at night. This camera is on the back of my house. On the front of my house I have an Empire Tech PTZ SD49425XB-HNR and the night vision in complete darkness is pretty impressive. I was hoping for the...

    CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency)

    Awhile back I started noticing that I wasn't getting as much mail as I had in the past. Then, my credit card payments weren't making it to the CC company. I ended up switching everything over to online pay and abandoning the post office and sending checks. As it turns out, one of the...

    BlueIris is amazing! Why bother with NVR today?

    I've found that my projects turn out better than the pros if I do it myself with the help of forums like these. I draw the line though at doing my own dental work. :D

    Help me piece out a system

    That is a really good deal. Wonder how this model compares to the 4K T?

    Anyone ever install on a doublewide?

    I own a double wide manufactured home. Mine had furred in soffits so all my cameras are soffit mounted. I was able to run all my cabling through the soffits to each camera. The cabling exits the soffits in three places and runs in 1/2" steel electrical conduit behind my gutter downspouts...

    UFOs, Extraterrestrials, Advanced Technology and Other Associated Weirdness

    I'd like to see some really clear photos of a UFO. Why is it always some blurry dot? Or some weird reflective object? Or filmed by someone who can't hold the camera steady? Why are there perfectly clear photos of airplanes and other flying devices but nothing of some alien craft?

    The Medical Industry is soooooo Broken

    I actually did this very thing after my wife passed away from cancer. My accountant is the one who actually told me to do it. I didn't lie to the hospital, but explained to them that I lost a large portion of my income because of the death of my wife. She was a career woman. The hospital...

    5442 Wattage Draw

    POE switches aren't that expensive. I went overkill on mine. Why buy a bunch of nice cameras and cheap out on the switch?

    CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency)

    Speaking of behavioral conditioning, the younger generation is already onboard with digital currency. I'm self employed and had a root canal done. I don't have dental insurance so I paid my bill in person with cash. I kid you not, the young gal had the deer in the headlight look when I...

    Site to Site VPN access issues

    I've been using Zero Teir for remote access and it works really well. I have T-Mobile home internet so I was happy to find a way to do this.

    POE Floodlight/Camera Recommendation?

    You could also just install a regular LED flood light and connect a smart switch or timer switch. I have various lighting circuits around my home and out buildings to allow ambient light for my 4k T cams. Two circuits come on automatically with photo cells. Another circuit comes on with a...

    IPC-4k Turret stutter video

    I am running my 8MP cams at 30 FPS, and my 4MP cams at 15FPS. I use my system for spying on wildlife so I like fluid movement.

    Upgrading my system.....

    Have a question. I bought a PTZ camera from EmpireTech Andy. It works great! The auto tracking is pretty darn cool and the IR at night is pretty darn impressive. My question......I was watching a POE switch review and the reviewer was connecting a PTZ camera to this particular switch. He...

    High Bitrate..............

    I connected one of my other 4K T's to this cable and the bitrate stayed in the normal range. So I'm thinking it's something to do with the camera itself. I will reset it and see how it behaves.

    High Bitrate..............

    I went outside and disconnected the camera and brought it back into my office. I connected it to my POE switch with a short brand new ethernet cable. now the bitrate is on par with the other two 4K T's. Also the camera now shows in UI3 and the phone app with "direct to wire" selected...

    Do the bitrate numbers on the other two cameras seem okay?

    Yes, I updated the firmware on all three when I got them.

    High Bitrate..............

    Looking at "Blue Iris status" one of my cameras shows a way higher bitrate number. These are brand new 4K T cameras with exactly the same settings in both the web based GUI as well as in Blue Iris. What's also odd is when I have "direct to wire" selected in advanced web server settings this...

    Upgrading my system.....

    I got one of my 4K/T's installed at one of my entry doors. I live out in the toolies so it gets pitch black dark at night. The photo (Rainy WA state) is with the built in LED's at 25% and my wood shed light on. No other accessory lighting. I'm thinking about getting two or three of those...

    Upgrading my system.....

    That's exactly what I was thinking originally. At the house end it would allow me to plug one set of four wires connected to the HDHomerun into my regular internet switch. Then the other four wires connected to my camera can connect to my dedicated POE camera switch and be separated from my...

    Upgrading my system.....

    All my switches are Netgear unmanaged. I use T-Mobile home internet with an alternate gateway.......the tower is right behind my house. I'm starting to think that I will just run another line out there even though it will be a pain.

    Upgrading my system.....

    So I have a 16 port POE+ switch that all the cameras around my home will connect to. Then this switch will connect to a 2nd NIC on my Blue Iris PC to keep the cameras physically separated from my main network. I was thinking that my detached garage would be another place I'd like to add...

    Presto/Changeo.......wall mount to soffit mount

    Received my PTZ camera from Andys Amazon store. It came with a wall mount bracket but I need to install it on the bottom side of my enclosed soffits. I have a lathe, milling machine, and a powder coat gun so I went to work. I changed the white to stone black. This should work out well.

    Pooping in my neighbor's yard; SD4A425DB-HNY PTZ content inside.

    He must have better zoom than the camera!
