    Review-IP Villa Outdoor Doorbell Station & Indoor Monitor Kit

    In the VTO go under Audio Control and set "Alarm" to disable. Youll also need to turn the alarm volume on the VTH to 0. I plan to re-enable these things when I'm done bench testing.

    POE ONVIF compatible doorbell with WiFi/poe chimes

    Its more complex then that. You would also have to fabricate an outer flange / lip / whatever you wanna call it around the perimeter of the box so that there is actually something to tighten against. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    POE ONVIF compatible doorbell with WiFi/poe chimes

    I just bought this but haven't labed it out yet. I bought both boxes because I wasn't sure if I wanted flush or surface mount. I was surprised to see the flush mount has no flip out wings like I would expect for like an old construction electrical box install where the wings flip out and secure...

    IPC-HDW5231R-Z IP address constantly changing

    Assigning a static address to a client device is just that. A static manually configured address. Address, mask, gateway, DNS servers etc all need manually defined. The router (or more specifically dhcp server) has zero bearing on a static address. If you manually assign a static address in a...

    IPC-HDW5231R-Z IP address constantly changing

    Thats crazy. Never heard of that. Does it do it with the camera plugged into a flat VLAN with no connectivity to anything else? Create a new VLAN on your switch with no layer 3 gateway and assign 2 ports to that VLAN. Plug the camera in 1 and your laptop in the other. Repeat the same steps and...

    IPC-HDW5231R-Z IP address constantly changing

    So you're saying if you manually log into it, set an IP, and change the date / time when the IP changes you can log into it using the new IP, go to the web GUI for network config and it shows a different statically assigned address? Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    IPC-HDW5231R-Z IP address constantly changing

    Sounds like you may have a a device acting as a dhcp server that you don't know about? Whichever one responds first is going to be the one the camera accepts an address from. Assign the camera a static address on the camera itself. If the IP changes on its own then that's an issue with the...

    Wireless camera system recommendation.

    This whole idea is a joke. Forget it. Picture quality on any kind of long term battery powered camera is garbage. Reliability isn't as good, it just a terrible waste of money and time. There is literally no circumstances where wire can't be run. You just have to be creative and determined...

    Best dedicsted LPR camera $1k or under

    I've thought of that an although not ideal it would probably work pretty well. Interested in the bracketed exposure cam but yea you're probably right about it working with BI. I have my LPRs recording constantly because I dont trust the trigger hit activate on every car / lighting scenario...

    Best dedicsted LPR camera $1k or under

    Example of another install with same or extremely similar exposure settings. We also have black non reflective plates in this state. This is an example of why I can't go much darker. Luckily although these aren't reflective they are white letters on black background so contrast is good. Sent...

    Best dedicsted LPR camera $1k or under

    I cant go much darker or some plates won't appear at all. There was still some ambient light out when I took those which may contribute to it looking brighter than it should for a true night time plate read. Those were just examples of some plates I snapped a pic of with my cell phone in the 5...

    Very very interesting. You are correct about one of the biggest issues being gold on blue in my state has little contrast. Contrast adjustment in the camera has had little to no effect. I will read into this filtering you reference thanks! Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    I'll check the settings against your recommendations next time I'm out there. I dont have remote access to that site. I spent weeks dialing them in about a year and a half ago to read the majority of plates acceptably. Maryland plates for example look like a million bucks. Its the Delaware...

    Best dedicsted LPR camera $1k or under

    Here is an example of plates I get and the challenge my ststes plates are. I've tried everything I can to get the non textures gold letters to contrast against the blue tag but this is the best I can get. Tags that appear perfectly readable in the daytime can have dust on them and be completely...

    Best dedicsted LPR camera $1k or under

    The ones mentioned I have used. I have 4 deployed. They have inherent focus issues. The 2nd thing is that they don't produce the best images. On dirty Delaware plates the results are completely unreadable plates. Some plates are perfectly exposed, some under exposed, and some over exposed. The...

    Ok. So calling @bigredfish and other guys that have lots of LPR experience. We've all used the Dahua 5231 / 5241 Z12s etc and we all know they will work with all the nuances but.... Let's discuss purpose built LPRs. $1k ish or less. What's out there? Only limitation is they cannot strobe flash...

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 LPR from 137 feet

    Holy shit I wish my states tags were that easy to capture. The text on my plates is gold on blue, non textures plate, and any dust / grime makes it almost unreadable with IR light Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    POE ONVIF compatible doorbell with WiFi/poe chimes

    I've been doing it wrong all along. I had no idea I was supposed to use wifi for all my exterior cameras so that James Bond didn't come rip a camera off the wall, and hack into my network and steal all my super secret blu ray videos and family pictures. Hell if I were James Bond I would think...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Sorry for the post if this is redundant and has been covered but I can't figure something out. I'm trying to adjust the all cam or group view resolution as shown in numerous forum posts and the Ui3 Help. For some reason my resolutions available only go up to 1600x1200. 1920x1080 isn't listed...

    BI - HTTP:401Unauthorized after hard power cycle

    Bump. Anybody else had this? Basically I need to make sure that when these cameras are plugged back in (could be days) BI automagically starts working again. Without this watchdog restart the cams will sometimes get stuck on http:401 unauthorized which will only go away after resetting the...

    BI - HTTP:401Unauthorized after hard power cycle

    It could be any random amount of time. Very peculiar use situation. I think the watchdog reboot is going to work the more I mess with it. The color bars every time it tries to reboot dont appear in the web interface so the watchdog restart really isnt that invasive. Sent from my SM-G965U using...

    BI - HTTP:401Unauthorized after hard power cycle

    Good morning. Anybody know of a solution other than using the camera watchdog to repetitively restart the camera in BI after getting this error? This is frequently occurring after Axis M1045-LW gets hard power cycled, relocated, etc. The camera boots back up and joins the network. But its...

    Suggestions for a reputable brand PTZ outdoor 10x (or more) WIFI camera?

    I don't believe the M5 will connect to your existing AP. I believe the M5 must be M5 to M5 which is how I have a pair deployed. I prefer the full size one instead of the loco so that you get standard PoE support and not have to use their injector. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Restrict Non-Admin users from saving to disk in UI3

    Yes, but it wouldn't be as simple as right clicking and saving to disk. Yea they can also always just use a cell phone. Just wondered if you knew a way to make the save to disk operate just like the camera controls (prompts for login) Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Restrict Non-Admin users from saving to disk in UI3

    Good afternoon. I can't figure out a way to restrict a UI3 user to not be allowed to utilize the "Save image to Disk" feature. Even having non-admin rights they are still able to snapshot and save images. I would like the user to not be able to do any recording or saving of imaging files...
