TRENDnet | Products | TV-IP315PI | Indoor / Outdoor 4 MP PoE Dome Day / Night Network Camera Does anyone happen to know the equivalent Hik model to this camera? Adding a second driveway camera to help get better coverage on door pullers. I do have some motion lighting, so considering whether to...

Just stumbled on this video, it pays to have good monitored cameras:

Yes - the motion wasn't enough to trigger my PIR sensor that far down in the driveway, made some adjustments last night and now a vehicle close to the end of the driveway will trigger it, so I think I should be better. I think I will add another camera on the other edge of the driveway as well.

Police followed up and let me know there was a home break and enter that happened shortly after this, I think I'll be staying up to tweak my night settings tonight, need to find a way to turn off that WDR at night through BI.

Unfortunately he didn't trigger my PIR for motion lights somehow, worked this morning when I walked across the same area to test it so that was disappointing. Also really need to move my camera position to the middle of the driveway, this image was pretty useless. 3MP Hikvision Dome.

And the real version - but with just a blank shotgun shell rigged:

Very true - the video doesn't show much beyond the general height, weight and skin color of the person. A higher resolution and proper lens would have done a better job - but this beats no camera I guess. I've always thought the Nest outdoor cameras were very susceptible to being stolen or...

Some great post-production work here, found this today and thought this group would enjoy:

Congrats on the new job at Buzzfeed @Q2U - we won't believe what happens next...

That suggest above will work - you might want to quickly run the math on how many cameras, their resolution and then double check the speed of the ports on your NVR. If they are 100Mbit you might have a bottleneck if you're adding a large number of high megapixel cameras. When I looked up your...

Damn, what a situation. If I had to guess I'd bet that vehicle was stolen, pretty common for them to do that before something like this and those old jeeps are easy to boost. Glad everyone is safe and no one was hurt.

Nope, this won't work, you might want to have a look at the Blue Iris site.

The BI Database isn't the actual recordings, just the file that indexes where everything is at so BI recommends keeping it on fast / local storage so I've placed the DB file on the SSD (it's quite small). In my setup, the recordings stay on the WD Purple drive, putting them on the SSD would burn...

I can say that in my personal experience, moving the OS + App to an SSD made a massive night / day difference to how my system responds. I had previously been using a single WD Purple 3TB drive for everything, after moving the OS to an SSD along with the Blue Iris Database the system is totally...

This is really cool, I have a Nest cam that's used as a baby monitor and I would love to have it connected to my Blue Iris system. However, if I have to remove the login and make it public there's absolutely no way that's happening. The bandwidth concerns are big as well, I wouldn't want to pull...

If I hadn't heard it hit the door I probably would have thought the same.

My new sunglasses showed up to replace the last set that arrived broken. I wonder why that keeps happening - this set was fine fortunately.

Just wanted to post an update - got my new i5-4950 system setup and now am using 50w and only 5% CPU utilization. Thanks for all the help + advice here.

Alright, once I saw power consumption that low I was convinced - have a new i5-4590 system on the way, 1/5 of the power and double the CPU benchmark should be a nice step up. Thanks guys!

What should my expectation be of power usage on a $500 PC that will run BI well? I've had a hard time finding anything but max power consumption numbers on systems. My hesitation has been that I will spend $500 to save $10/mo - with a 4+ year break even it doesn't make a lot of sense to spend...

It does look like your quad-core CPUs are rated more efficient than my Dual core Xeons. Agreed - those server grade features are nice and hard to give up once you get used to them.

I've run the numbers, the system was a free decommission from work that I was able to get for free. I pay $0.12/kwh after I include all fees and admin charges so I am out for about $21/mo for this system. What would an i5-4950 typically draw? I am assuming I would still be looking at an 24mo+...

I'm currently running a PowerEdge 1950 with dual 3.0Ghz CPUs and it is drawing 240w-280w with an average 15% CPU utilization, not sure how you could be getting that much lower power usage at 50% utilization, maybe you have some more efficient CPUs. That power usage is just my PowerEdge, not...

Hi All, I'm currently about to add my second IP camera, a Hikvision 3MP w/4mm Lens (Technically it's a TrendNet Clone). I got a good deal on a pair of these, I would have preferred a 2.8mm lens but oh well. I'm currently trying to decide where to place this camera and would like some opinions...

You'll be happy to know we get the same level of service here in Canada, for reference this toss is about from the 7 foot mark from the door, but who wants to have to go up stairs when you can just throw.

I would love to have an app for the new Apple TV, especially to have it run as a screensaver or the like.
