    Three cam vehicle systems?

    Wifey had her Ford Escape broken into while on a work trip and the hotel was in what was apparently a bad area. I had a dash cam mounted pointing forwards to record 24/7 but the thief must've approached from the rear. They broke the rear side fly window and lifted the laptop and camera bags out...

    The best cameras out there!

    I got this in my email for some reason and thought some of you guys might like the laugh. We must be wasting our money on cams that cost more than $18. Looks like they're using Trump-like rhetoric to pimp their cams as well...

    Black Friday camera and accessories deals?

    It's getting over but what did you find for deals? Links if they're still available? Cams, illuminators, Blue Iris boxes, hard drives, switches?

    Dahua HFW4431M-AS-I2 having ONVIF alert problems for alarm input

    I'm benchtesting an HFW4431M-AS-I2 bullet and it's giving me some troubles with getting the alerts to work off-camera. I can get the red light to light up on the live view screen of the web browser by crossing the alarm input wires and it'll even play an alarm alert if I select one in the...

    Dahua 4431C-A vs Dahua 4231C-A vs CCTV-TOP IMX322

    Original review has been edited because of a bitrate problem with the 4431C on the first evening. I've added the 10k bitrate video and labelled itand left the original 6k video as an example. I did a little impromptu unscientific shootout this evening because I had a 6mm Dahua 4431C-A arrive...

    Nefarious NoGoodNiks or Gotta Catch Em All?

    These dudes were tweaking my Spidey senses at 1:30am until I guessed that they might be playing Pokemon Go. What do you think? Pokemon trainers or unsuccessful backyard prowlers? https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByifJwXvTr39Z1lHd2VOdjk2dXc/view?usp=sharing

Basically looking for something that'll do line crossing detection to at least 80-90 feet. Tons of options available for 30-40 feet and under but I'm...

    Closest I can say is a camera deterrent example but

    I still don't really think he was looking at the camera when he spun around and kept going. He was looking more into my yard towards my picture window or front door. There's a motion light that might've been on above the car in the bottom of the frame. These two kids were scoping out cars and...

    1080P AHD backup camera with 7 to 10" monitor?

    This seems like it should be simple but doesn't seem to be. I'd like an AHD camera hooked up to a small standalone hi def mobile monitor (no DVR). I'd prefer 10" with a couple of inputs for two cameras but even a single input 7" monitor would be ok. Besides the fairly expensive AHD camera...

    PoE splitter wanted that provides both 12v *AND* PoE on the camera end

    Most PoE splitters strip the power out of the Ethernet and provide 12v and just plain data on the far (camera) end. I'm not having much luck finding one that taps into the PoE to provide both PoE and a separate 12v supply on the far end. I'm looking to run a PoE camera (no 12v option) and a 12v...

    Not me but man watches his home burn live while evacing Fort McMurray wildfire

    http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/canada/edmonton/fort-mcmurray-man-watches-his-home-burn-on-security-cam-1.3570690 Sad and tragic, but the technology is invaluable to those wondering if their homes are still intact. I guess there are whole forums dedicated to security cam footage for those that...

    How to improve low light performance with moving targets in Axis P3364VE and others

    I reset my Axis cams a little while ago and had to adjust my settings again which reminded me of this little trick or almost hidden setting. Both of my Axis cams are near lights so they don't need to be at the max exposure length of 1/30th that the easily accessible settings allow you to get at...
