    Hikvision Mini-Dome Conduit Base -- Make Your Own

    I have a total of four Hikvision mini-dome cameras (models DS-2CD2543G0-IS [aka IPCam IPCT-HDBW4432F-IS], DS-2CD2563GO-IS). All are wall mounted outdoors, though generally shielded from the rain. The difficulty with these cameras is that they have a non-optional cable bundle (ethernet, audio...

    Where to buy another IPCamTalk HDBW4432F-IS?

    I bought (from Amazon) the "IP Cam Talk 4 MP IR Fixed Mini Dome Network Camera, 2.8mm, IPCT-HDBW4432F-IS" a few months ago and it would be perfect in two more places for me. But it is no longer available at Amazon. Is there another place to buy this (or its equivalent or its replacement)...

    Restoring BlueIris to Prior Configuration

    Hi, I've been trying for over two years to get BI working with all my cameras without freezing up, crashing, or creating tens of thousands of 0-byte recordings. For a long time, the issues were infrequent (e.g. BI would continue recording for a week or more before failing), but the 0-byte...
