    Liftmaster Garage Door Opener Camera

    Nevermind, i'm stupid. It was because i was connecting that PC via wifi and was on a different band than the C110. Good lord I spent way more time on that than I care to admit. Got it working. Thanks for the $15 suggestion. Can't wait to deploy this.

    Liftmaster Garage Door Opener Camera

    Yep so my home router which has access to the internet is 192.168.50.1. The BI PC connects on 192.168.50.200 via wifi for internet access to that box. The BI machine has 2 network adaptors: ethernet where my switch connects containing 3 current cameras on 192.168.1.100, 192.168.1.101, and...

    Liftmaster Garage Door Opener Camera

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'm going to try this out. I didn't consider a cheap wifi cam for something that didn't need the extra horsepower. Trying to follow all of those instructions but my BI machine is on a different subnet (192.168.1.1 ethernet from ip cam switch) than my router...

    Liftmaster Garage Door Opener Camera

    Gotcha, so probably not just a case of splicing wires. Was searching around if anyone had converted a cam like that before but couldn't find anything.

    Liftmaster Garage Door Opener Camera

    Thinking this might be a stupid/quick question that I just had a hard time finding answers to. There's a camera integrated into the garage door opener. It goes to a MyQ app but i don't pay for storage or anything so if i ever look at the feed have to open app but obviously no storage since i...

    PC died - Transfer data

    Thanks. Yes have a 10tb hdd surveillance drive where everything stores. I'm not too worried about the data on it. Only thing I really care about is how I'm going to move forward without wasting too much money. I don't mind spending but hate wasting. Also, it would be sort of cool to keep BI...

    PC died - Transfer data

    I'm pretty good with PCs but trying to think about easiest less intrusive way to transfer data. I was using a used Optiplex 5080 as my surveillance PC. It froze up and died about 2 weeks ago when I was at desk. I restarted and it and then it didn't recognize my boot drive where BI is installed...

    Thoughts on this walkway location - First Camera

    Alright I think I'm sold. Found a couple reviews threads here. Was initially worried about the sensor size for the newer 4MP version but seems other members are using it with success. My plan now is put the boobie above/near doorbell towards corner, aim one for facial recognition, aim one for...

    Thoughts on this walkway location - First Camera

    So with that boobie cam. I'm reading a few threads here on it now. It's basically just 2 cams in 1 run off the same POE line? Let's say I installed it near my doorbell which is perpendicular to my door. Could I say, aim 1 down the walk way to see approach and the other towards the doormat area...

    Thoughts on this walkway location - First Camera

    Where did you get the wedge cam? I see the newer one but it's 4MP with a 1/2.8" sensor where the one you have is 2MP with 1/2.8" sensor. Edit: Wait nevermind I think it was discontinued. Here's a dumb question. The 1 camera I have now is vari focal but how do I imitate 2.8mm vs 3.6mm? Just zoom...

    Thoughts on this walkway location - First Camera

    These are good reads. Thank you. I think ultimately, it'll be 3 cameras by nature because I plan to put a couple near garage which will naturally catch someone walking up to these 2 anyways. But your installs are clean. Thanks!

    Thoughts on this walkway location - First Camera

    This is about 5'8 high. Seems to capture faces well even if looking down. I like this but will need to make a decision on if it hanging a couple inches into doorframe will bother us or not. Doesn't feel too intrusive when walking in and out; doesn't feel like I'll knock into it. Going to try...

    Thoughts on this walkway location - First Camera

    Considered that, too. I might not need to reuse the hole though. When I peeped through the stucco behind doorbell, there's just an airgap between it and the block; no insulation. :facepalm: So might be pretty easy either way.

    Thoughts on this walkway location - First Camera

    @garycrist kind of like the tripod idea. Just using a long 2x6 right now and running a 100' premade flat cable out to it under the door until I find a spot. @bp2008 Yeah plant was a thought I had, too. Also, have bushes on other side now (pic is from when we bought house) but those are smaller...

    Thoughts on this walkway location - First Camera

    Yeah i really need to test a few locations. I didn’t consider the pole mount option but it may help in this situation. I like the idea of 2 cameras. I was considering doing the reolink doorbell cam the doorbell sub talks about a lot. Would probably need to raise the doorbell though. Either that...

    Thoughts on this walkway location - First Camera

    Got a used PC, Blue Iris, POE switch, bulk cable, etc. Planning for about 4-5 cameras have an idea on location but want to do one first before I move on. I bought a T54IR-ZE-S3 and a waterproof junction mount with the plan to hang it from the ceiling of my front door but now thinking I should...
