    Thief caught on camera at my house

    The cams IR isn't on. Just one really big IR light on the corner of the house. I'm pretty happy with the image now, obviously miles ahead of where it was.

    Thief caught on camera at my house

    Well I would post this in another thread but since this thread kind of ended up as a support thread I figured I would post it here. After realizing how bad the footage of the coyote was, I made some changes. I moved the external IR further away and adjusted my cam angle a touch just because it's...

    Thief caught on camera at my house

    The IR for the camera is already off, it's worse with it on. When I set up my IR it was to watch the deer eat all my pears from my pear trees at night, and the cam was zoomed in past the soffit for that. I had an image closer to this then. Those 2 trees behind that power pole are pear trees. I...

    Thief caught on camera at my house

    I just changed it to shutter priority and got this. Seems to be really close to the settings you listed above as well. I walked outside and the video was good. I've been meaning to move the infrared to help the glare for a while, I just haven't gotten around to it. I didn't even think about...

    Thief caught on camera at my house

    I went back and looked at my camera settings and I have the shutter speed set from 0 - 2. I can drastically brighten the image if I change that, but if I recall the reason for the change, and darkening it up so much, was that I was experiencing very drastic ghosting with motion to the point I...

    Thief caught on camera at my house

    The coyotes and I have a long history. I thought they had stopped coming into my yard after they killed my favorite barn cat. Looks like they are getting brave again and will need a reminder to stay away. All my 5442's pretty much suck. I've played with the settings and generally just made...

    Thief caught on camera at my house

    While it's hard to see what the little thief got, it was a chuck it and ball I use playing fetch with my dog. I looked all over for this thing yesterday, so eventually went back to my cameras to track it down and this is what I saw. I guess I'm not good at setting them up, my 5442 cameras...

    Blurry when FFW or RW at more than 2X?

    So I've recently updated my Blue Iris to 5.9.7.4, which fixed my notification issue, however now I'm trying to backtrack on my cameras and see when a coyote attacked it, but if I fast forward or rewind at more than 2x speed, the camera goes blurry until I get back down to 2x or less speed, at...

    New phone, no notifications

    Selecting or deselecting the Legacy GCM box doesn't seem to change anything. Alerts are on in the app, I've tried turning one off and leaving on off as well. I'm going to look deeper into things today when I have time. It hit me that after using the Samsung Smart Switch to transfer phones, zero...

    New phone, no notifications

    I don't get any Blue Iris notifications on 2 different phones, but the old phone was working perfectly. I just got home and tried it now and after re-adding it to my mobile devices it doesn't seem to be getting alerts either now. I've had this working for years and honestly don't remember how it...

    New phone, no notifications

    Yep, notifications are turned on on the phone. Since the text and email alerts work, at least with the test button, I'm assuming the issue lies on the phone app side, but it's 2 different phones. I'm pretty sure everything exactly matched settings with the phone that was working, but I'll check...

    New phone, no notifications

    So my push alerts were working fine on my old phone, then I got a new one and used the Samsung smart switch to transfer everything over. I'm set up using zero tier to access the cameras, which I can do even from the new phone. I'm away from home but connect to my computer using a remote desktop...

    Paper Delivery Hit and Run

    Most sayings that stand the test of time are based on an irrefutable truth that also stands the test of time. In this case, "No good dead"...... I think we all know the rest. That does sound like a nightmare. Situations like this help me to understand why so many people are reluctant to help in...

    Starlink satellite internet

    Same here. I really don't see any other starlink dishes in my area other than my own, yet I'm in a limited capacity area. I can't say I didn't see it coming. I knew going on that there would likely be price increases and usage restrictions over time, but what I didn't expect was those things...

    Dang cats are expensive.

    I can't believe it's going on 3 weeks since I've posted about this. After some growing pains, temporarily adding a T2231T-ZS that's intended for my shop, to a tree with about 300' of cat 6 just running along the ground so I can monitor the coyote heavy area of my property, and another change in...

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    These same people probably scoffed at a bakery that wouldn't bake a cake for a gay wedding. Even if you were to point out the hypocrisy to them, these people don't have enough brain power left to comprehend it and would just parrot something they heard on MSNBC as a response to you.

    The Typical picture of a Perp on Nextdoor-type Apps with Consumer Grade Cameras like Ring, Nest, Arlo, Canary, Wyze, etc.

    This is a screenshot from a facebook post on my feed. This came from a gas station. I think they would be better off with a nest cam. Anyone recognize this guy?

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    As an enrolled member of a federally recognized tribe, I must also admit that I was at standing rock. I mean, I was there to build the pipeline and not to protest it, but I did turn around inside their camp once when my GPS led me astray. I did get to see first hand the violent nature of many of...

    2nd Amendment thread

    I stopped supporting the NRA when they stopped supporting me. In 2011, the Oklahoma rifle association, the official state affiliate of the NRA, came out against open carry in Oklahoma and the NRA sat back and said nothing. Years later, I decided screw it and renewed my membership again, and...

    Dang cats are expensive.

    I'm back to entertain ya'll some more. So I had walked outside to just kinda play with my monocular, leaving my rifle in the bedroom and a pistol on my hip, when I looked over and thought dang, there's something over there where I saw the coyotes the other night. So I grabbed my gun, but at that...

    2nd Amendment thread

    I've said it for years and I'll keep saying it. The only reason leftist think society would be safer if everyone was disarmed is because with their mentality of hate and evil, they truly cannon see themselves yielding something of so much "power" and NOT using it to shoot someone that disagreed...

    Ha! I'm not that creative. I was just writing while it was still fresh in my mind while I was trying to work out how the heck I missed!

    Dang cats are expensive.

    Just after posting this I missed my chance. Heard coyotes yipping and howling just outside, watched out my bedroom window for about 15 minutes (screen slides up). I was watching some deer kinda hidden behind a bush, they weren't moving and just standing there, grazing I figured. One kinda...

    Dang cats are expensive.

    Never been a cat guy, but quickly realized they are a necessity after moving out of town and in what is basically the middle of a pasture. Gotta admin the dang things grew on me. Coyotes got one not long ago. Took me a week to go back and really comb through footage after she went missing. They...

    Reboot PC when no internet connection?

    I was using 8.8.8.8 but I haven't had the issue again after removing the gateway from the camera subnet.

    What the heck is going on with my system?

    Okay this is going to drive me crazy. My 4k/x camera changed its self to H265 again today. It was fine this morning, and at 1:03pm, hours after I left home, and 12 minutes before returning home, my playback feed stops. The NVR is unplugged. No power to it. The other camera's seem fine as of now...

    Starlink satellite internet

    No problem. To get me by until I received mine I just purchased a wifi to ethernet adapter from Amazon. The speeds weren't great, and the cheap one I got was 2.4Ghz only, but it'll get you out of a pinch.

    Starlink satellite internet

    It can straighten out, you might have to tape it, but even so, with the connector itself I'm not sure if it will fit 1/2" conduit. I almost grabbed some 1/2" pvc and went to check, but my ladder is about 70' away and my back is bothering me today so I put it off. Pretty sure it would be a tight...

    Starlink satellite internet

    It does have a removable connector that is USB-C(ish) but realize the connector is still proprietary and is still bigger than an ethernet cablet. I'll include a stock photo I found online of the ends. The smaller end will plug into the dish. I won't say it won't work through 1/2" conduit, but I...
