    How can I improve on this facial image?

    I'd use the colour cam for overview. That way you get the colour information you want over a wide area and don't care so much about exact detail because you aren't going to get it anyway. Cover just the minimum amount with the other cam zoomed in to put more pixels on target and add more light...

    Xiongmai Technology IP Cameras and DVRs HACKED

    I'm sure the Chinese gov't is already aware of that one Alastair but you might let Herospeed know as well. :)

    PoE "oooppppssss"

    That's what I was going to suggest. Sometimes the POE circuitry can die but leave everything else functional. I've got an older Hikvision like that. It died, got replaced, and then while I was puttering around later figured I'd try a 12v adapter and voila! An extra camera. It's now up high in a...

    1 POE cable to power Hikvision plus 12V mic possible?

    He ^ is also right. I have a gizmo like that. Doubles your effective power over a single ethernet cable. Full PoE for one camera and another for one or more accessories. Also very handy for doubling connectivity over a single pre-existing run.

    Person of Interest? It's already happening.

    Surprisingly, Dahua is mentioned and Dahua branded cameras are shown but nothing about state-owned Hikvision.

    First time I've ever seen snow falling!

    12ft in one winter? I forget what we had three winters ago but it was over 18 feet and most of it came in a bit over 6 weeks with no thaws. We got one to three feet at a time about twice a week but usually in blizzard form. Full sized road graders (not the tiny ones) with huge drift busters on...

    1 POE cable to power Hikvision plus 12V mic possible?

    Yes. You can get a PoE splitter to 12v and ethernet. Add a Y splitter to the 12v end and power the 12v connector on the cam with one and the mic with the other. Easy peasy. Same "trick" works with lower powered external IR illuminators.

    Looking for Outdoor Motion Sensor

    Yes but if mounted on the garage then it looks like it won't have good coverage. Mounted on the house where I said should cover everything coming in your front door, driveway and garage. Try using IPVM calculator with a 90 deg FOV cam and see what coverage you get in various mounting places.

    Looking for Outdoor Motion Sensor

    That's probably too big for one sensor. The longer range ones tend to be narrower. What you COULD do is have two shorter range wide angle PIRs and run both sets of wires into the single camera for more complete PIR coverage. I haven't done that but can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work...

    First time I've ever seen snow falling!

    Best laugh I saw was in New York when they had a couple of inches. We were out doing the tourist thing and expected to get a cab from the train to the hotel. Nuh uh... We had to walk a few miles in the snow because the hotel refused to send out the shuttle they advertised as being available. The...

    Enhance This! Atlanta PD hope public can help ID suspects.

    The footage looks like it all came from city cameras. I can't imagine that the station had a camera up on a utility pole out on the sidewalk. Strange that the gas station didn't have any cameras covering their parking lot, but maybe their lot cams were under the awning and aimed just at plates...

    Repurposed security cams...

    That's my one beef with the video. If someone running equipment is worried then the pilot is in the wrong.

    Cable clips outdoor screw type in bulk. Where do you get them?

    My first guess would be Fastenal but I don't buy in those quantities. Either that or your local electrical and/or electronics supply shops.

    Repurposed security cams...

    I've been considering the Epson Moverio BT300 drone edition fpv glasses for use with my Mavic but haven't taken the plunge yet. Not a racing drone but an amazing piece of tech with unbelievable range.

    What do you use for fpv at the RC end?

    Monitor opinions

    Same here with racoons. There are TONS but you hardly ever see them. I never would have guessed until I put up a crittercam. Try 940nm illuminators to help with coyote captures. No red glow.

    Monitor opinions

    Nice catch Fastb. I get lots of wildlife here but haven't seen a coyote. Closest I've come is a fox. Tons of coons, skunks, deer, and squirrels though. Woodcock in season. No partridge yet. You know this already, but trimming the ornamentals in front of the driveway cam would improve the...

    Finished my CCTV install on my new house today.

    Like has already been mentioned, nayr has had one mounted outside for a long time with no issues, but I think he sealed up the top of his with silicone. I don't have one but it seems to me that the parts you see aren't the issue, it's the stuff at the top but as long as you can keep that dry...

    Advantages of a NVR Vs. Blue Iris and a PC?

    1. BI can only record when the computer is turned on and the cameras are connected. No. 2. Yes but yes the computer has to be turned on. 3. You can set your cameras to record to edge storage (NAS or internal SD card) but I consider that as more like a backup while simultaneously recording with a...

    Remote garage install advice on wireless

    You could try a pair of powerline adapters if the garage is run from the same panel as the house. If not, then I'd use a pair of Ubiquiti Loco M5 Nanostations for a wifi bridge. airMAX - How to Configure a Point-to-Point Link (Layer 2, Transparent Bridge)

    Man, that's one polite dude for Detroit. He rang the doorbell and left when there was no answer? He gets the Miss Congeniality award for douchebags.
