It's bug season again and my camera is almost in continual recording mode after dark. In the past I've just turned off the IR in the summer, but wanted to see if this new camera was any better, but it's not. I have hours of bugs flying around. Is there a good work around for this? What if I put...

I fooled with this feature a while back and it worked fine for a while using gmail. But it quit working and I've never really jumped back into fixing it. At the time it was gmail causing the problems. What's the best way to setup getting email alerts?

I'm setting up a camera to monitor a street scene. It's fairly busy most of the time so it's not possible to set trip wires or boxes to trigger recording. Is it possible to set the camera to continually record to the SD card on the camera? If so, how long would it record before writing over...

I find myself needing to monitor a remote location. I'd like to use a bullet camera from Empire. I've got some of his others and they work great, but I just use them locally. Ideally I'd like to buy an Arlo and be done with it. I like their free remote access and storage. It's worked great for...

I've had the email delivery set up on three cameras for a few months now and it's been working great. For some reason now none of the three work. When selecting "test" I get a fail response. I haven't changed any of the settings. Power reboot, still the same. All three are using a gmail...

I turned on the temp reading thinking it might be a good outdoor temp indicator, but apparently it's more of a internal temp gauge. Ambient temps here have been around 90F or so. This morning I noticed the ptz was reading 132F. It's got full sunlight all morning and it's been pretty stationary...

I'm working toward getting a ptz camera installed in a remote location. I'm going to need a water tight enclosure to house some of the components, namely a fiber transceiver and a camera power supply. The standard 3r NEMA electrical enclosures are rated for outdoor use but they are really not...

I've got a conduit already buried. I know they say not to run cat5 parallel with ac voltage for any distance. Do you think pulling an AC line with the cat5 will cause data transmission problems. The cat5 I'm using is made for direct burial.

I got may cameras in and have everything set and can see them fine on my network from my phone, table etc. Now I'd like to see them when I'm away from home. I've read through the vpn thread but seems like most have a static IP from their internet provider. Since I'm out in the boonies, I don't...

I am working toward installing a web cam for the purposes of selling advertising. We had one at this location a few years ago but took it down. Still have the original camera but it's old technology and really needs an update. The camera will be mounted to an antenna mast and fairly high up so...

In checking the specs on most of the cameras they list relative humidity as needing to be below 90%. Often the relative humidity here is above that and for extended periods of time. Does anyone have experience with them in high humidity environments? In the summer we're at 90+ on the temps and...

I have a rather long driveway and would like to view vehicles as they approach. Driveway is about 2400 ft. Currently I have a wireless sensor set at the end of the drive and am notified as a vehicle passes, but don't have any way to view. There's a pole about 1000' from the house and this is...
