    Forgot if I made a new people thread here. Also need advice

    Thanks, I do have an alarm system but I don't have it calling out. I believe it saved me recently and scared someone off. It all works, just doesn't call out. I have a phone line now but I've heard that Brinks can't be programmed to a different number/company for cheaper service. I never...

    Having trouble getting WinBook IP Camera working in BI

    Yeah the default username is 'admin' without a password. I also created a new user/password to try. At one point I did change the port to :8099 in the settings but no change. I need to see if I can get the camera going again, the update it did seems to have broken it. May go return it later and...

    Having trouble getting WinBook IP Camera working in BI

    Hmm no progress, tried BI on a different PC in case any port forwarding was messing things up. Then I tried the Update button from its own software. Now the camera is unresponsive and I cant connect to it lol

    New here, trying to up my security

    Hey guys, I've had a couple of indoor Foscam 480p cams forever, 8918W I believe is the model. They suck but they've been alright to stick in a window and see what's going on while i'm at work. I've had one outside for almost 2 years under my porch and other than getting a little discolored it...
