Amcrest IP8M-2599W mini review
I turn on HDR to about 20%. It makes daytime look a little washed out but you can see shadow areas. -
Rampant ransomware.
We use a phishing training service. Each user gets and email each month enticing them to follow the link. It’s reasonably effective. Better than nothing.- brianegge

Solar powered outdoor wifi camera
The pet fence guys ditch witch across driveways every day. You could do the same across the parking lot with direct burial cat6. Many times parking lot lights are wired with three wires, one always hot and one switched, so you can have an outlet or something else attached to the pole.- brianegge

DeepStack ExDark - Detect objects in dark/night images and videos
I looked at the dark training set. Doesn’t seem that it would be that useful. I train two models: one with color images and the other with IR images. When the camera switches to IR it sends a gray scale image, and I use that to determine which model to use. When I train my models I first... -
How many cameras everyone running?
I have 14, plus two in a box. 13 outside and one in the garage. My next two I want to install near the street.- brianegge

Not So Smart U-Haul Driver
Hope the fire department was able to rescue them. I expect they had something quite important in the truck. Separately, if you have a sprinkler system, it’s great to have some cameras. Typically the pressure sensor notifies your alarm company or the fire department. Most of them time they go...- brianegge

best way to get important notifications
I’ve thought about setting up a fake smtp server for my cameras to send to. Then I can forward the messages to telegram, pushover, slack, etc.. https://github.com/7orlum/SmtpTelegramRelay -
SMD and IVS ignoring tracked machines
Yes, you can fool AI with a t-shirt or other low-tech methods. https://www.vice.com/en/article/evj9bm/adversarial-design-shirt-makes-you-invisible-to-ai Based on the camera captures users post, most perps are not too concerned about cameras. -

Have you heard of NDI??
It would be nice if ipcams could broadcast NDI. We’d add more cameras to our live stream if they didn’t cost $2,000 each. We could go from RTSP to hdmi but we’d still have the latency issue.- brianegge

Have you heard of NDI??
Most onvif IP cameras use H.265 or H.264 video compression. This technology groups blocks of the screen together and compresses it, and also sends delta frames before or after key frames. This means if the video is static you use little bandwidth. The video compression is done on the camera, and...- brianegge

OpenALPR on a Raspberry Pi 4 and the Jetson Nano
Yes, you can. https://robroyce.dev/2021/02/11/how-to-boot-jetson-nano-from-usb-3-0-natively-with-jetpack-4-5/ I prefer to keep the OS and jet pack on the SD and my data and apps on usb storage. To the other question regarding GUI, best is if you get comfortable using SSH to the host. You... -

Maybe Another Cam
I have a few IP5M-T1179EW, which are about $50. The Loryta version of the same costs about $80, but enables all the IVS features. But hard to say if that fits your need. What’s important is knowing the distance from the camera you are interested in. The 2.8mm lenses are fine for up to 20’ or so. -
OpenALPR on a Raspberry Pi 4 and the Jetson Nano
I purchased one from Makeronics. I got a larger bundle, which was a waste, as I didn't need the WiFi M2 module and I used the camera for all of five minutes. This one is $17.90 and is what I would buy next time: https://amazon.com/Makeronics-Enclosure-Assembly-Instruction-Included/dp/B07ZNTMYQ9... -
OpenALPR on a Raspberry Pi 4 and the Jetson Nano
If you find it doesn't run OpenALPR as well as you want, you can install DeepStack on the Jetson quite easily for other tasks. They write -
OpenALPR on a Raspberry Pi 4 and the Jetson Nano
No, sorry. If I was I would post some stats. I am using the Jetson for computer vision. When it sees a vehicle in my driveway it sends the image to SightHound api. It then announces the arrival on my Alexa and opens the garage door if needed. -
OpenALPR on a Raspberry Pi 4 and the Jetson Nano
I’d suggest using a Jetson Nano instead of the pi. It’s really a much more capable SBC with a lower power gpu it will cost less than a NUC after you pay for the electricity. Only downside to the nano is the arm cores are slower than the rpi4. This is usually fine as you will be doing gpu tasks... -
gama/brightness problems
On all my Amcrest cams I could skip the plug-in nag notice and configure the camera through the browser but without video. However, Amcrest has published firmware updates for many of their cams which does away with the need for a plugin. Also, if the cams are behind a PoE nvr, then yes, you must... -
Starlink satellite internet

My Speeding Dectector Setup
The street in front of a residential house is typically 25 mph, if it’s in a neighborhood. I have the same issues with people driving 50. We don’t have sidewalks , so if you walk or have kids riding their bikes you are in the street. My driveway points downhill to the road. I’ve done speed... -

Getting invalid User Name or Pssword message on Dahua cam
OK, not the same issue I was seeing then. I changed the password on my camera, then all the devices would not log in even after I updated the password! I think it was locking them out because they tried the 'wrong' (old) password too many times. I'm not sure if you are trying to log in to the... -
Getting invalid User Name or Pssword message on Dahua cam
Also, if you can still access the camera, try creating another account. The account lockout feature seems to be per account, per IP address. -
Do any of you actually use Dahua P2P for external access to your cams?
Yes, not because they ship sloppy products but because security is a changing landscape and they have a pipeline for finding and fixing vulnerabilities. The track record for ipcams and IoT devices is not nearly as good. Lorex has never shipped an update for my system. Generally the best advice... -
Getting invalid User Name or Pssword message on Dahua cam
I’ve had this happen with my Dahua cams. NVR can log in fine but browser is locked out with same password. I rebooted the camera and deleted the cookies in my browser and it worked fine. -
Spare IP camera
I’d suggest putting an SD card in the camera at your mother’s, for recording the main stream. Then connect via vpn to view the substream. The substream is smaller and when the internet cuts out you won’t lose any data.- brianegge

"Empower" NVR4216 firmware
Answering my own question, I was able to load the DH_NVR4XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.001.0000005.1.R.201126.bin firmware onto this device. It works great - especially happy I don't need the plugin to view streams.
