    Camera Placement to Watch Pool

    Thanks for taking the time on the answer and picture. That would definitely solve the problem, but might be than I want to do. At that location the pole would be seen from all prime viewing areas of the house. I might be able to figure out a smaller pole and wider angle. Are there any...

    Spider webs driving me nuts! Need advice on settings.

    I asked the same question months ago and told to spray the base of the camera with bug / spider spray. It works okay for a while but will go away.

    How are people liking these so far? I like the size and ptz. Its a bit low on the resolution and zoom for the price.

    Outdoor Patrol and Zoom Cameras Recommendation

    Need some guidance...I have a lot of the Hikvisions and Dahua fixed camera's and now I'm interested in trying out a camera that rotates and zooms. I don't want to spend a ton of money and I want a brand that is relatively popular so that Blue Iris / Synology support it, etc. My requirements...

    Blue Iris Alert Images into Sub-Folder by Camera Name

    I emailed him about it. He was very responsive. I don't think I sold him on this particular issue though. You can put the cameras and "new" folder structure in a subfolder but that doesn't help me for what I want to do. The large alert folder slows the system when viewing in windows explorer...

    Spider

    Talk to Camera Function with Hikvision Cameras

    Is it not supported just on this Hikvision camera or all cameras? If it is all camera's what is the purpose of the microphone and talk to camera text at the bottom of the desktop software? Thanks

    Blue Iris Alert Images into Sub-Folder by Camera Name

    I want to have all Alert images into subfolder by the camera name rather than one large directory. I have figured out how to do this for the "new" recordings folder by using the &CAM variable, but there doesn't seem to be an option to do this for the Alerts folder. Any ideas?

    Talk to Camera Function with Hikvision Cameras

    I have the Hikvision DS-2CD2432F-IW which has an internal microphone and speaker and from the hikvision software/camera website I can be remote and use the camera as an intercom system. Blue Iris seems to support this function through the desktop server software via the mic icon at the bottom...

    Spider

    This seems very common for me as well. Spiders and their webs set off the sensor and my camera's record all night with a spider web. Hoping to find a fix for this one day.

    What's your favorite IP camera and why?

    I really like the Hikvision DS-2CD2432F-I. I have a 2.8 mm and the 4mm lens. I am using them via POE since you have to link into to a network cord for power anyway. I think they are the best on the market now given the quality, price, and features such as audio. I would buy more if my family...
