I have several older monitors laying around that I would like to put to use. I am thinking of using a Raspberry Pi to load up UI3 on. I know its not the latest tech, but the price is right given I have the displays. What hardware would be recommended for this endeavor? Pi 4 B? 3 B? How much...

Hawk attacked a dove, I think, and hit a window and then dropped the dove, and took off after it. Don't know if the dove got away or not. https://rumble.com/vsptvo-hawk-attack.html

We have been on Verizon Wireless about forever, and I'm looking for options to reduce cost. We have four phones, with two (the inlaws) not using any data other than what the phone uses itself, they barely text. Then my wife and I, which usage varies from 5-10 GB per month for all the phones. I...

Happens every 2-3 weeks or so. And, for @TonyR it has music! :rofl: :rofl: :facepalm: The green belt has a faux red brick crosswalk leading to it that somehow folks mistake for a road, instead of the paved road two feet away. https://rumble.com/vs8ohj-another-vehicle-on-the-green-belt.html

Our driveway is fairly steep and so I try and plow it before it gets driven on. Plowed it last night with the ATV. The ATV is a 225 Yamaha from 1988, runs fine. This is about 24 minutes of plowing in 47 seconds. For the camera nerds, it is a 5442T-ZE. It is in full color because there are a...

I have a Dahua 5241E-Z12E used for watching the problem child apartments down from me. The trash cans are 225' away, the near side of the building is 200' and the farthest apartment is 250' away. Daytime is fine. Night time I am struggling with. The area is fairly well lit, between house lights...

I got my @EMPIRETECANDY 49225 yesterday. Damn its big and heavy! :lmao: I have it on a temporary mount - a 4' 2x4 in a bucket of gravel, as @looney2ns recommends, and it still shakes some on max zoom! Anyways, it works great - zoom is incredible. If you don't have one, get it now! I read...

They all have the same, can't-find-anything-or-tally-votes-software-developer. USPS is the worst at tracking packages. We get most Amazon stuff delivered via USPS. More often than not, Amazon knows hours before the post office that the package has arrived at our little post office. My eagerly...

Prowler walked up on my neighbor's porch Saturday night. But first he walked past his house, stopped in front of ours, and put on a hoodie of some sort. Then turned around and went straight up his walk. He spent about 10 minutes on the property before I saw this and alerted my neighbor who went...

My neighbor apparently had several packages on their porch, and noticed someone had come up onto the porch, saw the doorbell camera, and left. The did get a blurry photo of the perp and his car. My cameras figured out that they came down the street, slowed to almost a stop, presumably seeing...

I got a "new" @EMPIRETECANDY 5241E-Z12E and set it on the porch to make sure it works, test it out, etc. Last time I put a camera up temporarily to test it, for ONE freaking day, I caught a meth head in our garage, just looking around. This time I caught a guy from down the street walking by...

I received a couple of "new" cameras from @EMPIRETECANDY and his refurbished list. I set the IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E on the porch and aimed it down the street. The car is about 225 feet from the camera, and the camera is NOT optimized, I was just making sure it all worked. Until I saw the smudge...

I have a complicated "compound" of three buildings spread across an acre. I currently have a Google Wifi Mesh system that, uhhh, has challenges. The setup has the main house, which runs a single CAT5E to the next building, and, after a switch, over to the third building. also via CAT5E. The main...

I have probably 30-50 X-10 plug in controllers, or "Lamp Modules" as they are called. I would like to use these to control my ever expanding Christmas displays. Nothing fancy, just on/off. Is there a method to connect them to Hubitat? Or should I just try to get them working with an X-10 timer...

Three times now I have noticed that OpenALPR is missing the same plate. Attached is a capture of it, and it looks pretty clear to me! It appears to be catching others, most not nearly this clear. BI and RekorScout are running on a Windows 10 Pro machine. The ONLY thing I can come up with is that...

I have what can best be described as a compound. It covers an acre with three different buildings spanning about 200 feet from one end to the other of the buildings. All of the buildings have metal roofs which pretty much destroys wifi outside of the buildings. I currently have a Google Mesh...

From this morning's camera captures. Guy doing the talking lives off camera to the right about 400 feet. I have no idea where he is going at 3:00 am "to get a bite to eat." There may be a gas station open almost a mile down the road. https://rumble.com/vo7abb-smoke-a-weed....html Here he...

So, about a 1/2 mile from me I suspect a transformer was shot out. I captured audio of a gun shot on my exterior cameras. During playback of a clip, Bi shows time in thousandths of a second. Is there a way to synch up the times of clips, or see an audio wave form to tie the sound down to...

Okay, what did I do now? In my previous screw ups with cloning cameras and alerts, I deleted one camera named "Driveway" and re-added it back, with the same name. . Now it doesn't show in the clips list. No alerts, no recordings. It is set to record continuously. I can find the BVR files on the...

In the thread on the pandemic threat, this was briefly touched on by @gwminor48 and @mat200 . @SouthernYankee mentioned not getting off topic, so I thought I would make a new thread if anyone is interested. My story is that I am a 60 yo with a slew of medical challenges, transplant, T1, among...

I have several cameras I would like to have multiple levels of alerts on. Using BI only alerts, this is simple, with different zones. However, if I use camera AI, or DeepStack, I gather I need to duplicate the camera in BI, and setup separate alerts in that. I've tried it several times, with no...

Pair of guys come down the street at 5:00 am, stop by our driveway and start mumbling to each other. They spend a couple of minutes, then move 20 feet down the road. The first video is the entire ordeal. The second is zoomed in on just them and the shirtless stud twirling a knife screwdriver...

We have a landline. I notice it is out today, so I go out to the box, and check, no voltage, no signal, nothing. So I call Verizon, and things go down hill. I get the phone bill, find the number to call, and dial away. They want to know my PIN. I have no clue, so they send a text to my cell...

We have an overview camera, an older SD1A203T-GN-W 2MP from @EMPIRETECANDY tasked for overview covering the driveway, shop/garage and adjacent lot. The wife has bird feeders out next to the driveway, and recently pigeons started showing up eating from a couple of the feeders that are big enough...

A car slows at a stop sign, then accelerates and hits a 17 year old on a skateboard. Although not visible in the video, the car did stop, and I believe the kid was beat up a little, but otherwise okay. I did turn the video over to police, there was another video from a closer house as well...

Well, something did, not sure how. I have a Google Pixel 4a, and while re-pairing my watch with it this morning, I received a call from police dispatch. They received a hang up call from my phone number. I told them there was no way my phone called them, she then confirmed my location, that...

Here in very south western Virginia, we have a local distillery that opened about a year ago. Run by great folks, friends of ours. It is about 30 minutes from us, in pretty much the middle of no where, next to a log home production facility - hand hewn log homes! Anyways, some website added...

In our small town we have a greenbelt that loops around town. It passes in front of our house, and occasionally, I find a car driving down it. There is NO simple way onto it at this point. You have to make a sharp 90 degree turn from a driveway onto it, or drive onto it from a roadway. In both...

Bird made a beeline for one of my cameras, then turned off at the last second. Not sure where he was headed - the camera is mounted to the side of a house, a couple of feet from the corner.

I have had BI running fine for several years, along with the mobile app. Yesterday I swapped to a new computer after the old one started shutting down. New computer is a refurbished i7-6700 with Windows 10 Pro. When I got it, I did a clean install of Win 10 with the media creation tool. The time...
