    Another Dahua PTZ install

    Yeah, I was going to say the same thing. I take it there isn't much of a concern for camera theft in the area. At $700 bones I'd consider adding a few Colonial Marine Sentry Guns as well. Tiger

    Need good camera that can zoom in on person in IR mode, so we can show to the cops

    Look familiar ? If anyone is as old as me they might recall fighting the Gonarch in the original Half-Life. Modern day Sci-Fi looks at bugs for creative ideas. Perhaps the Chinese were looking at the alien creations :laugh:. Tiger

    Need good camera that can zoom in on person in IR mode, so we can show to the cops

    Hey brother, It's just a little bulbous at the base :cower::cower::cower: You know what. I really don't mean any disrespect towards a fellow comrade here. I really dig Nayr's setup. It really is amazing and I'm getting the impression that he is extremely knowledgeable in the art of...

    Need good camera that can zoom in on person in IR mode, so we can show to the cops

    Hi Nayr, That camera is amazing and I really dig the tracking. Does this come with some form of dome over the lens? I'm sorry bro, but the camera looks like some form of alien genital. It's like "Just Hanging Down" :livid:. I'm being serious here. This cam is really nice, just wish it looked a...

    Night Vision Question(s)

    Talk about information overload! Damn. I was going cross-eyed reading about the different types. :mad-new: Thanks for the link bro.. Tiger

    Night Vision Question(s)

    These must be the types of cameras some people own who mentioned that their aftermarket IR LED illuminators didn't help. This is what confused me when I was searching for my own IR LED light. For some reason I thought that some of the affordable cameras had LED's that weren't visible at night...

    Night Vision Question(s)

    Hi guys, :moon: Can anyone provide a break-down of the different types of night vision technologies being used in cameras and explain each technologies pros and cons, i.e., Which is visible and invisible to the human eye Which is best suited for short and/or long distance Which type...

    I'm going to look stupid and admit that I don't know what VLC means :oh:. Is the bottom left image at 75 feet. If it is, that alone seems to indicate that your 1080p cam has (at a minimum) a 25 foot advantage on providing equal detail my 720p cam gives me at roughly 50 feet. What do you think...

    Garbage - Part 2

    Makes we wonder if its feasible to do a stake-out (with a friend of course) inside a vehicle parked across the street and try to figure out where these kids might live, etc. Does your camera motion detect this activity at that distance? If it does, it would be much easier to identify if these...

    Damn, That's a great video capture m8. I'll bet the driver dropped a heavy load inside his/her pants during that roller coaster ride. Tiger

    Hi icerabbit I've attached 2 additional photos for review/comment. The one with the subject contains a copy/past of the face at an increased digital magnification. This is the best facial detail I can achieve at the 50ft distance. Do you have any sample shots of the above mentioned camera for a...

    Thanks for the input. I didn't even think about the window being rolled up. You are sooo right about that. Image quality of foot traffic is ok, but still doesn't seem to be as good as some of the higher mega pixel cameras. Tiger

    Recommendations for a better camera

    Damn, this 720p cost me $125. I'm sure we both know that no all cams are created equal. That's why I'm hoping for some recommendations on specific makes/models. Is there really a $100 3PM cam that can better this higher priced 720? Placement of the camera seems to provide the most bang for the...

    @ eyeball Thanks Bro! Yeah, I'm not a regular drinker of Rocky Mountain Piss Water, but these Coors Lights really surprised me. Very refreshing on a hot day. Tiger

    Garbage - Part 2

    Was this the first and only time these punk ass kids did this m8? WTF is happening to modern day parenting? My mother was very respectable. If I pulled shit like this or even hung around trash like this my mother would introduce me to what causes the color red. Tiger

    Hi guys, I just recently added a ZmodoZP-1BG11-P (720p) PoE camera to my existing Zmodo 720p setup. . The camera does a pretty good for a budget model, but I’m really missing out on all the details some of you guys are enjoying with higher res cameras. This camera contains a fixed 12mm lens...

    An affortable way to protect your cam from the elements

    Hi nayr It's on the cooler (northern side) of the house. No worries about durability since all my conduit is metal, but thank you for pointing out something for others folks to consider. :joyous: Tiger

    An affortable way to protect your cam from the elements

    Hi guys, Thought some of you might get a chuckle out of this idea/creation I put together today. I created this to protect the rear of the camera from rain, etc. At first I thought this was a stupid idea, but it actually came out better then expected. I used one of those 16oz cans. The...

    Zmodo & FunLux (WTF-I'm confused). Is this the same company?

    Zmodo & FunLux (I'm confused). Is this the same company? Has Zmodo sold? Is FunLux a new company? It's all a bit confusing on who makes what anymore. Did Zmodo actually make their own cameras? A little cam history would be great. I've been told that only a few companies actually make the...

    Odd Neighbor Terrorizing My Cats!!!

    This looks funny, but seriously... If it was my cat I would confront the guy in a joking kind of way (to avoid conflict) and get a bead on his intent. Cat's are pretty smart and if your cat is friendly around most people I would take this as a sign that his intent might be undesirable. Tiger

    SimpliSafe & Blue Iris (A Match made in Heaven)

    Thanks for the info mycoma :). It's really cool that they offer options such as those you mentioned above. It's been awhile since I've spoke to anyone at SS, but the last time I did, SS mentioned that Glass Break detectors as well as video was something they were considering. Not too long after...

    Alarm triggers and sound events

    Yeah, one of my close neighbors also mentioned using a camera's audio capabilities (if they have it). I'm running two Zmodo sPoE 720p 4-pack NVR's. These cams smoked the Swann equivalent at half the price, but audio isn't included :sad2:. I liked your earlier idea about the cell phones. I was...

    SimpliSafe & Blue Iris (A Match made in Heaven)

    Hi bp2008, That's one thing about cellular networks that sucks.:mad-new: mycoma's post seems to have indicated that SimpliSafe does provide such a connection. Have you tried calling and/or emailing SS? It would interesting to understand if they use the same base station to achieve this. If...

    Alarm triggers and sound events

    Thanks fenderman. That’s what I call thinking outside the box. Not a bad idea, so long as you have some old phones lying around. Unfortunately, that I don’t have. What I’m really hoping for is some form of PC peripheral or software solution. This really could take BI to the next level of...

    SimpliSafe & Blue Iris (A Match made in Heaven)

    If anyone inside this forum can't get enough of Blue Iris, then also consider installing a SimpliSafe Home alarm/monitoring system as an additional fix (Smiles). The SimpliSafe home alarm system is absolutely AMAZING. I've been using it for just over one year now. I'm running 33 alarm devices...

    Alarm triggers and sound events

    Not exactly. What I’m hoping to accomplish is having the flexibility of deploying three different speaker sets throughout the house. All of which are connected to my BI PC, but being able to see each set of deployed speakers as different output options inside the BI’s “Sound Alerts” menu...
