    Helping my vet choose an indoor PTZ to monitor kennels--help?

    I have actually thought about suggesting that for their boarding operation. For the hospital side it might not be appropriate, some of the patients are in dire straits and heavy medical stuff could go down that you might not want the owner to see unexpectedly. There are also considerations with...

    A camera like that is within budget if it's the right solution!

    Helping my vet choose an indoor PTZ to monitor kennels--help?

    BI would be great but the staff are probably not interested in the care and feeding of a Windows workstation. It isn't that much work if you are a computer guy, but no one there really is. I will make sure they know it is an option, though.

    Helping my vet choose an indoor PTZ to monitor kennels--help?

    "I'm not the IT guy," meaning, I am not going to be messing with their firewall. I'm just trying to help select a camera.

    Helping my vet choose an indoor PTZ to monitor kennels--help?

    Well in any case, I am not the IT guy so that isn't my problem. Anyway for this application, I've learned that recording isn't necessary at all... They just need a means to log in to a decent camera via browser, and PTZ to look into cages that are about 14 feet away in dim lighting. I doubt...

    Helping my vet choose an indoor PTZ to monitor kennels--help?

    OK without opening a can of worms here, don't people put commercial cameras and NVRs on the internet all the time? Does everyone abstract feeds through a 3rd party cloud service?

    Helping my vet choose an indoor PTZ to monitor kennels--help?

    Any staff member who wants to look at the patients will need to have access, so that could be a dozen people. Separate logins would be great, one shared login would be fine. Exposing the password-protected camera to the internet directly would be fine so long as it's a reputable manufacturer...

    Helping my vet choose an indoor PTZ to monitor kennels--help?

    I'm looking for ideas on a PTZ camera for indoor use. It's about 20 feet from the camera's ceiling location to a cluster of kennels on the wall of the clinic, and the desired use is to peek at each kennel to see how the patient is doing. People will use the camera 24/7 so it probably needs...

    Looking for an affordable wifi cam for Hik/LTS NVR, ideally w/ close focus

    I need a cheap, portable camera for monitoring various things around the house on a temporary basis. Since I have a Hik/LTS NVR, naturally I would like it to handle the camera so I don't have to use some proprietary app. It would be ideal if the camera can focus on objects that are just a few...

    How to pull images off LTS LTN8916 cameras via HTTP

    That is a handy technique, thanks. I may be able to get by querying the NVR.

    Get still image through URL from Hikvision NVR [SOLVED]

    Your path /ISAPI/Streaming/channels/101/picture also did the trick for my Hikvision cousin LTS NVR! And the resolution settings from @chillicrackers worked for me too. Thanks guys!

    How to pull images off LTS LTN8916 cameras via HTTP

    I have the LTS LTN8916 NVR, and finally figured out how to pull still images off the connected cameras. The manual shows this format: However, that's for direct IP access, and my cameras are behind the NVR, and on a different subnet. They can supposedly be directly reached with the "virtual...

    Can't get TinyCam Monitor to view cams on Hik/LTS NVR

    Yes I finally did and that got me into the right ballpark, thank you. Big edit, I am striking most of what I wrote before. Recap: I was trying to get Tiny Cam to work. I detoured into VLC because it's easier to test URLs in VLC. Had no luck there, but I really wanted to make SURE I knew what...

    RasPipC - Cameras on your TV made Easy.

    Can someone recommend a vendor (or Amazon link) for the right kind of Pi? Can I buy just one thing or do I need to get a video add-on, network add-on, etc?

    A black bear came to visit today!

    The authorities were informed and didn't give a hoot. I do not live in the mountains or in anything you'd think of as bear country, which is why this was so weird. I guess the bear did not get the memo.

    A black bear came to visit today!

    I live in the suburbs near Seattle. We have lots of critters, but even my neighbors who have been here for 30 years never saw a bear... Until today, when one showed up and pillaged my bird feeders! It spent about 10 minutes wrecking the feeders and having a snack, then waddled off. I got the...

    Can anyone recommend a wifi ONVIF camera which can focus really closely?

    I'm hoping to find a camera with these features, so that I can easily monitor things like a fish tank, or my laser cutter, or what's on a gadget screen somewhere. Wifi Onvif compatible so I can use it with my LTS NVR Can focus as close as a few inches FOV: anything wide-ish Inexpensive! This...

    Can't get TinyCam Monitor to view cams on Hik/LTS NVR

    I have put in my IP, login, etc but TinyCam won't log in and retrieve a list of cameras on the NVR. This is all on the LAN btw, and the LTS app works fine. My NVR is the LTN8916-P16. Maybe it's just not supported? I can't get RTSP streams to work either. My NVR presents the cameras to the...

    Looking for Android Hikvision viewer that won't lose sync over time

    I have an old Nexus 7 that I want to dedicate to showing a camera view. My cameras are LTS/Hikvision. I've installed the official LTS Android app, but it has a problem... the video feed lags behind realtime. After running overnight, the camera view is behind realtime by a couple of minutes...

    Looking for a Hikvision viewer for iPad, for continuous use

    I have an old iPad that I want to dedicate to showing a camera view. My cameras are LTS/Hikvision. I've installed an old version of the official Hikvision app, but it has two problems. One, it won't show a high def stream without the screen turning green or a low memory warning. The iPad is...

    Hawk on the hunt in my back yard

    Yesterday I learned that my bird feeder was also feeding the neighborhood Cooper's Hawk. I saw him pluck a dark-eyed junco out of the air right in front of my window, all the way under my patio cover! I checked the cameras and saw that he had been chasing that little bird for a minute. The...

    Stupid question maybe, but can a Dahua camera work on a Hikvision recorder? Eventually my Huisuns will probably die. :)
