So I'm trying to get rtsp working, and testing with VLC... I seem to be able to connect, but there's basically garbage coming through. The basics of the image come through - kind of like a chalk sketch? But it's NOWHERE near a real stream. And it's not really updating the screen... Any...

Ok so I just built a "supersystem". A Threadripper 1950x with 64GB of RAM and a 2TB 960 Pro SSD. It's my all-purpose system that I knew would run Blue Iris easily in the background. My 7 year old i7 ran it fine, with only two cameras, motion detection (triggered recording only). Well on my...

Hey everyone... I just had a friend get a quote for a video system for his moderately sized building... (15 cameras between inside and out) It's a new installation, yet they quoted MPX instead of IP. Any thoughts as to why? I really assumed IP was the future and the way to go...?

Hello everyone, I just purchased a IPC-HDBW1320E-W and I need to buy a power supply for it. (Or should I say I might need, I have a 12v power supply or two around) Anyway - while I'm awaiting it, I want to see if I need to purchase a PS or not. Does anyone have a Dahua dome that they can...

Hey everyone :) I'm looking to add an IP camera to my detached garage to monitor the status of the garage door. (I could live with a garage door monitor device but the one I have SUCKS and none of them actually rate better than it on Amazon) So the resolution is unimportant - actually a lower...

I just bought BI and the mobile app. I have it working as I want, other than the push alerts - even when I configure a specific sound in the BI windows software... I do not get anything other than the visual alert on my phone. So unless I'm actually looking at my phone, I'd have no indication...

Hey folks. In the config tool it lets you (seemingly) do a timeset (one-time) to your PC clock (which likely is set to an NTP source). However I can't quite tell how to keep my new 4MP turret sync'ed to any master clock to prevent drift over time. Am I missing something? On a cheaper camera...

So the camera I will soon buy will be posted right above the center of my front door - literally maybe a foot above the door frame or less. I abhor spiders and have no desire to be walking into them... While I'm planning on getting a turret as recommended by most to avoid spiders... I still...

Hey folks... I can't seem to find a ~4MP H.265 with say 25fps... With decent quality (name brand), and English firmware. Does one exist? I found a Dahau model on AE but it seemed to be Chinese FW only. I have no problem buying domestic, but would rather get something that supports H.265.

It occurs to me that running an Ethernet cable outside poses a risk to my network... Granted a pretty low risk that someone is going to get on my front porch, rip the camera off, and put a battery powered wifi router up for them to use to remotely try to hack into my network... But still I was...

I bought an ELP camera from Alibaba, about 1"x1" for the camera mount, with a "tail" for the electronics and ethernet connection. While it works ok, in the end the view through my screen door isn't working out well enough, so I want to mount something completely outside - above my front door...

So I'm wondering - do IP cameras follow the typical "consumer electronics" cycle.. With new models appearing at CES and available shortly thereafter? I'd like to see what is coming before I embark on the challenging install I have ahead of me. It seems at least electronics (computes?)...

Hey folks. I've been doing some research off and on for months, and it is coming to the point where I really should just move forward. I'd like to add a camera to my front door and would like the flexibility of a small, unobtrusive wall mount "mini-dome?" that has PTZ functionality. While I...
