Thanks, Lol I hear you @code2 . Maybe it's my inexperience too (and trying to get too much in one view with one camera) but it was the only place where I found to be out of the view of where people or cars would pass through (and it bothered me more when I had it across the bottom or top and in...

thanks @Solar Deity and @bigredfish The radiant heating would have been really sweet ... but I didn't even look into it to be honest. I use a plastic shovel and have a small push toro snowblower with a rubber blade and that works for me.

Been fine tuning and adjusting blue iris but here are some more pics of the front door cam. Overall very pleased with myself so far lol.... thanks to the forum! Going to order another cam or two next and add those.

Thank you for the update regarding the green screen. The forum has been great for getting me up to speed on my learning curve and trying stuff out.

Wondering if the green screen issue got anywhere in the last week? I just got blue iris running (4.5.1.4) with my hdw5231r-z this week and same thing when I tried using h.265 today.

I ended up mounting it into the soffit. It made more sense for me once I looked more closely at it. There was a 2x6 that I was able to get 2 of the 3 mounting screws into above the soffit. And I used 3 inch wood screws for those 2... so it's in there good. A simple hole saw worked great too...

Thanks for that info tangent. That makes me comfortable to at least plan for a 4 port poe when I add the 2nd cam for the garage outside and to go through the one powerline adapter and I may need to compromise with bitrate. The most I would add in the front are 3 cameras (one more for possibly...

Hey everyone, Just received my first ever cam last week, the IPC-HDW5231R-Z. I spent some time getting used to it this week and looking for better locations on where to place it at the front of my house. I'm going to get more cam's after this first one is up and running and comfortable with...

Your post has been very helpful @TechBill and everyone else's threads and comments, especially your thought process on camera location. I came across the same this week with mine and your comments confirmed that I will most likely do the same door camera placement you're finding. The front of...

Thank you!

Thanks. At least i'll know what to maybe expect tomorrow morning with aliexpresa and I'll be going the direct route if that happens. Hopefully @EMPIRETECANDY comes through. I know it's the Chinese New Year holiday shutdown so fingers crossed.

hey @cosmo , how long did it take you to find out it was rejected? I just placed on order this morning on @EMPIRETECANDY 's aliexpress store this morning and my order status is "payment being verified". Wondering how long before if I hear the same. I will be going the paypal route too if it...

Hi everyone, After being a lurker for a bit to learn about diy home cameras, etc... and not sure what camera to start with, I pulled the trigger and I placed my order today with @EMPIRETECANDY for a IPC-HDW-5231R-Z. So I'm very excited. Thanks to all the guys/gals and your resources and...
