    Which to buy and why

    Thank you all for the info. I wanted to avoid POE cams for obvious reasons of trying to run cable throughout the house. I don't want them seen on the walls nor feel like drilling holes, running through walls, etc and it's not in the budget for pro install, then again, I do everything myself...

    Which to buy and why

    With the array of WiFi cameras on the market, I'm having a bit of difficulty deciding which brand to purchase. I have an old Foscam system and one Amcrest but think I want to go the route of one of the Smart Cams. Arlo is too expensive, Ring is too invasive, so I'm leaning towards Eufy, Blink...

    Remote access

    I have the much older Fi8910 models which have been functioning fine. I have them on my Foscam app and was able to view remotely but no longer can. I changed my router info a bit ago due to problems with connectivity and believe that's when the problem began. Trying again to get them set for...

    Rearview mirror cam suggestions

    Thank you, but I meant a dash cam incorporated with the rearview mirror and uses the mirror as the screen. Something like this ....https://www.amazon.com/WOLFBOX-G850-Mirror-Dash-Cam/dp/B0B1LLMCS9/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=rearview+mirror+dash+cam&qid=1662723774&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1

    Rearview mirror cam suggestions

    Looking for suggestions on a rearview mirror dash cam. I currently have a Yi cam and once had a rearview mirror cam and I prefer the mirror cam due to it's discrete position. Nothing with an extreme price but I'll pay for something that's worthwhile and can keep the time and date if the car...

    My router was experiencing intermitted connection and I haven't done a firmware update in a long time. I forgot my PW for the router and thus, had to reset and changed the network name and PW, which required resetting all connect WiFi devices. I thought the camera settings would partake within...

    I currently have older Foscam IP cams which have suffice for a long time without much failure. I view the cams on my iPad which stays on my desk and on my iPhone for remote access. I just had to reset my router which meant resetting all wireless devices. Resetting the major devices was fine but...

    Suggestions for outside cams

    As a PI, I often think of options to set up a camera on property to view remotely or at the least, to record to a card and retrieve for viewing. Obviously, that means the camera has to be battery operated and if I want remote access, I need to connect somehow. I've been using a trail cam for...

    How about a motion activated floodlight camera?

    Best option

    I'm searching for the best two camera option, front and back of a home, nothing extreme but wanting in addition to motion activate lights to capture movements, etc. Prefer using an app and allow remote viewing and alerts if motion sensed . Having an SD card is advantageous for storage, unless...

    Recommendation

    My uncle, who is blind and developing Dementia, was recently put into a nursing home after many decades of living in his home which was an obvious familiarity of the layout. In the nursing home, though a smaller area, he often has trouble finding his way. Therefore, my mother, who has been...

    Camera Suggestions

    He doesn't want cameras but my mother said if you want me to continue taking care of you, you're getting them. With that in mind, he will not get medical Alert systems. I already suggested it.

    Looking for two maybe three cameras for phone remote viewing. My blind uncle lives alone and my mother tends to him when needed. Relatively good health, he had an issue a week ago and passed out, woke up disoriented but was able to contact help. I suggested installing cams so my mom can...

    HP Pavillion onboard camera

    A friend of mine is trying to catch suspicious activity in her office and I mentioned she may be able to use the camera embedded within the monitor of her HP computer. I don't know the software that came with the PC for the camera and thus, uncertain if it's capable of doing what we need...

They want something very basic to view the caretaker, in their home caring for their son, on their smartphone while they are away. They aren't concerned with computer access or viewing at...

    System Recommendation

    A friend wants to install cameras in her home to keep watch on her stroke impacted son and the nursing care who will tend to him on a daily basis. For something that important, my recommendation would be a POE system but I don't know all the details of her needs just yet except she wants to view...

    I searched up and down the entire forum and tried to determine where it should go. IP cam sections are for specific cameras and I have no idea where else it should be. What am I missing? Care to guide me?

    Wanting to say thank you.....

    ....to Fenderman. I didn't know where to post this and hope it's ok here. Since he's the administrator, he'll move it accordingly. Bottom line, the man knows his stuff and moves like lightning. I only wish I had half his knowledge of the PC and networking world. Thank you again, Fenderman...

    Help! Two cameras no longer receiving signals

    I went over all the devices showing up on the router and they are all accounted for. I haven't tried Fing. Is that an app for the phone/tablet or for the PC or both? I have each IP address and port for each camera. Though, I have a separate PC (desktop) for the cameras only which is where...
