I think I eliminated the factor of power supply but maybe I am wrong. Each of my cameras has it's own small power supply rated 2A installed in the "mounting box" of the particular camera, but I also tested it using this kind of "lab like" power supply...
I finally started mounting three sample cams I received from Andy, one of them is the ultra starlight. To cut a long story short after countless hours of struggling I narrowed the problem to the following issue:
- when this cam is connected to longer network cable (around 23 meters long) it is...
My order reached Europe today. This time I took
1 x IPC-HFW8232E-Z + 1 x PFA121
- 1 x HDW5231R-Z + 1 x PFB203W
- 1 x IPC-HDBW4231F-AS + 1 x PFA139
I will test and decide if I go for ultra starlights or regular starlight is enough. Few mini domes will go inside the house, but I wanted to put...
I have this camera, and I am also trying to set IVS and autotracking. I managed to set one preset that let say works better but still it quickly looses "focus" on me while testing. In a nut shell at the moment the best I achieved is that it starts to track me but only for 10 - 20 seconds and...
Niiice, when I was 15 I just played Final Fantasy 7 on my playstation :) to be honest I am just an amature guy trying to have a bit of my sci-fi dreams from childhood :)
I have no idea how to achieve automating with voice commanding lights and other electrical devices in my house without...
If I have time I can write few words. Now I focus on finalizing it and attaching all lights inside and outside of house. Next I will add temperature sensors, humidity sensors, etc.
I was a bit tired after 9 hours in the office, few hours in the evening with two boys (4 years old and 2 years old) and wife :) and finally I had some time late night to push this project a bit forward :)
I set tight private policy and as far as I checked on youtube I cannot change this setting of displaying this video directly on other sites.
Solution - right click on the box and copy the URL to a new tab. I will re-upload the video with changed settings soon.
I need to set up BI, at the moment I only have one PTZ camera, still have no time to order more from Andy. I will make a measurement this week and post some figures.
Hi Mate, I already built a BI server based on i7 7700, this is my built My BI custom server build
but I still need to set everything up. My target was also to achieve low power quiete cool system.
That's best case nayr, but I have 220v wire along lan wire, and I don't want to go for POE. I assume there is not standard PSU (220v -> 24v/12v/5v/) included right?
Point taken, but money isn't all that matters, I had lots of fun building this box. What was also important for me was low-wattage of this box.
There is also a factor of prices here in Poland, for instance i7 7700 price on amazon.com is 313$
Amazon.com: Intel Core i7-7700 Desktop Processor 8M...
Hi guys, recently I am having lots of fun building star trek style home automation. I just want to share with you this video showing how it's gonna work. I am a huge star trek fan, especially TNG, and I wanted to have voice commands to switch on and off lights, I also plan to have other...
Hi guys, this is what I got for my first BI server. I ordered all parts and did the assembly myself, this is how it looked
1) seasonic 350w psu
enough for such hardware, it's 80 plus gold certified 80 Plus - Wikipedia
2) motherboard
intel b250 chipset for i7 7700 kaby lake
3) lian li...
I have tried chrome, firefox, edge and IE with compatibility ON and OFF. The best I can get is in IE, but still I cannot draw rules because of image shift (look at attached file). I have no idea what to do next, I have Windows 10 x64 with IE version 11. Do I really need Windows 7 to setup this...
Yup. Regarding the PIRs, I have pretty standard ones inside the house, but I just didn't want false alarms from outside PIRs so I went directly for highend PIRs. A cheap pair of shoes may only last 6 months ...
I also have a big dog which was obviously additional reason to go for Rokonet. But...
I have them connected to an alarm control unit, when someone crosses the fence of the property and approaches the house then the alarm control unit calls for a private security squad car and they come in few minutes. I have 8 of them and they cover all spots around the house.
Maybe I'll also...
