    Review-Dahua/EmpireTech new doorbell cam Db6l 5mp

    I RESET the cam but now it connects to another hot spot that is not mine and I cannot access. It is grabbing 192.168.3.xxx while my domain is 192.168.1.xxx I can find no way to force it to mine. But the good news is that the Doorbell still rings, HA!

    Review-Dahua/EmpireTech new doorbell cam Db6l 5mp

    Changing to 10 made no difference. I looked at this with DMSS and see the same video quality issues and pulsations. I think I will return this to Andy's store on Amazon for a replacement. I will update this thread when I get a new camera installed - might take a few days though! Thanks...

    I'm not sure but during the daytime the video is out of focus for about 5 seconds and then everything is sharp. Perhaps at night due to the noise it is unable to do so. Just a guess.

    I was browsing thru various websites and I came across this on Drudgereport which I think points out the bias in media today. The headline reads in BIG red letters "EPSTEIN PILOT SAYS TRUMP FLEW ON 'LOLITA EXPRESS' " When you click on this you are presented with another large headline, "THE...

    She said that she was terrified because men were pounding on her door, saying "Where is she?" Turns out is was the Capitol Police trying to locate her and presumably take her to a safe place.

    I disagree - America is NOT dead. Anytime there is a disaster Americans give of their time and treasure to help out! Just think about your neighbors - are they out fighting with each other. At it's base America is FULL of some very fine people. Much of the dissention one sees/hears about is...

    The Democratic party consists of many factions. The only thing holding them together is their hatred of Trump. Once he is gone they will turn on themselves and decimate their own party. Unfortunately, in the process they will have destroyed the Constitution in the name of power.

    Using an IP camera with a video meeting app like Zoom or Jami

    I suppose the easiest approach would be to just by a high quality usb cam but the prices are pretty crazy right now and I've got a bunch of Dahua cams not being used. I hadn't thought about using VLC but it sounds like a good approach. Thanks

    We didn't seem to learn a great deal from the 1918 Influenza. Our local PBS ran a pgm the other night about - people were stealing wooden coffins and the older people were just left to die because the medical system was so overwhelmed.
