    Recommend an underwater camera, please

    Here are some links to U/W camera manufactures. I've used cameras from both companies and they are great. They are world leaders in U/W cameras. I believe Kongsberg are building IP cameras now, not sure about SubC. Both companies are quite expensive.. Likely overkill for your application but...

    Wind direction missing

    I have spent a bit of time looking as well so I guess that feature does not work, or is not working on my system. It does not matter much, just something not working that I thought I would investigate..

    FI9805P cameras keep losing connection in Blue Iris

    I had a few of these cameras in the past. Actually still have one of them running.. The frame rates are not good on them, in particular in the nights. It seemed in my case that when the frame rate dropped to the 2ish and under range that blue iris dropped the image, but at the same time, the...

    Just ordered one of these 'IPC-HFW4431R-Z' myself. Looking forward to getting it, and hopefully a positive 'first' purchase from Ali..

    Dahua Wireless Stength

    Also good to see you have a set up that you are happy with.. I have all of my outlets installed in weatherproof enclosures so I am good there. They would never survive the winters here without it! Good to hear the Dahua is working out for you. I am in the process of upgrading everything...

    Dahua Wireless Stength

    Thanks CaliGirl- I must have gotten lucky with the FI9805's. I have three of them and so far, 0 problems, along with 4 more installed for a friend with no problems.. We did have lightening take out one of the cameras, at least that is my thinking. We also had several lighting sensors go at...

    Dahua Wireless Stength

    Thanks fenderman. Good point on the bridge. The camera will be mounted on a garage that is 80-100' away from the house, and everywhere between (and around) is asphalt so I have to look to wireless option again for that particular cam. There is quite a bit of lighting between the house and the...

    Dahua Wireless Stength

    Wind direction missing

    I guess this question is for Mike, I have been using blue iris tools for some time now. Great tool kit for Blue Iris BTW.. I have never had a wind direction displayed. It shows as 'Wind Desc.: From the @ 3.22 km/h' without N, NE, S etc.. Is this something in the software that I am missing...

    Remote Temperature Monitoring

    Hey John, Have look - http://miwsn.com/ This may suit you needs. I have one setup for a water sensor/alarm. No app to date but it emails alerts based on you needs. They are battery operated. I get about a year out of a battery.. The cold will no doubt hamper the battery life but you...

    colorized video

    Again, Thanks nayr. That is a great option that I was not aware of. I have been looking at external IR's that can be used in coordination with just a cameras ir filter. Of course the foscam's have to be modified for that to work.. I guess it's time to start narrowing down to a...

    colorized video

    Thanks for the manual nayr. I'll have a read though it. All valuable information-Thanks again. I know with my foscam's the lights on the camera actually turn off and the ir cut filter moves back when triggered in Blue Iris which is the same (or appears to do the same) as when they are turned...

    colorized video

    Thanks BP2008. Is the set up for the cameras (both Hikvision and Dahua) similar or the same as the foscam's? Is there a instruction set somewhere on setting them up? I have read some negative reviews for them not having any English instructions. I have my cameras port forwarded at the moment...

    colorized video

    At times I turn the IR lights off in the evening/overnight when we get snow. I get nothing but reflection.. Its a nice feature to turn them off via blue iris vs. the cameras software through a web browser. If I turn them off I can see often times with the lights from the garage, but they are...

    colorized video

    Yes, same through the foscam's web interface.. If he camera is pointed towards the sky (bright light), the image becomes clear again (normal image), without any colorization. As soon as the camera looks to a darker area, the colorization comes back. It is time to upgrade.. All of the cameras...

    colorized video

    I have a Foscam F19821W V2 that recently started displaying colorized video. It is hardwired, and was working fine till a couple of weeks ago. I am using Blue Iris but have the same image through a browser as well. I am guessing that the camera is toast.. Thanks for any suggestions..
