    Locking Server Rack Question

    Anyone here familiar with them? Right now I have an open rack set up in a closet. Seeing more and more break ins with the burglars destroying CPUs and NVRs if they find them. How secure are the locking rack models? Was considering something like this Locking Server Rack Thanks.

    Is there a way to calculate speed of cars on camera

    Not so good, it kept losing the stream and quitting the application. I did get one good read off of it when I had it set for 1 direction but it needed more dialing in for both directions on my street. I gave up after a couple days trying it out...

    Dahua Starlight Recessed Dome PTZ (SD52C225U-HNI)

    So i have some presets set up for the camera to go to at specific times. Today I just wanted to watch preset 4 all day. I turned off idle time, and I turned off the schedule but no matter what it always resets to preset 1. I even set preset 4 as the reboot goto and restarted both the camera and...

    So the maker of Speedcam Traffic sent me a trial. I'm searching on here but can't find this info: What's the address to connect to a substream of one of my cameras? Anyone else wanna have a go at it? LINK EDIT: OK I found this...

    Is there a way to calculate speed of cars on camera

    I like this idea, gonna have to look for that thread. I reached out to this software maker. The camera I use for street traffic overview is a PTZ (SD52C225U) pointed down the street in the morning and up the street in the afternoon. I wasn't sure if the software need a locked off camera or if...

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 LPR from 137 feet

    I've got it set to switch 45 min before sunset for tonight (7pm PST) the switch from night to day has no problem so far for the past 2 nights. The other thing I can't figure out is I'm only at 88ft so I thought this was only supposed to happen at longer distances? If this works out ok I might...

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 LPR from 137 feet

    OK I thought I read something about a reflector. I was considering purchasing a reflective road marker to stick in the middle of the road where it's focused. I'm still reading but I thought @bigredfish mentioned keeping the IR on for a day/night setting helped also? Or is it just a single B/W...

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 LPR from 137 feet

    That's awesome! Didn't even think of that for any of my cams. Gonna have to set that up. I'm having the focus shift issue now though when switching to night on the Z12 (using day/night profile). Reading back through the thread to see my options....

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 LPR from 137 feet

    I will probably end up doing this. But I would still like a trigger event to work. Makes it easier to scan the cars when looking. I'll dial up the sensitivity even more tonight.

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 LPR from 137 feet

    What settings on BI are you guys using at night to trigger recordings on the Z12. Daytime is picking up every car that passes but last night after I got the camera dialed in and could see the plates, there aren't any triggered recordings.

    Looking for battery/solar operated Camera to record traffic

    That's ultimately what the city will end up doing if we get a traffic study. We want to show up with as much ammunition to move forward as quickly as possible, so video of cars running the intersection with out stopping and the car counts from my home cameras will hopefully show them that they...

    Looking for battery/solar operated Camera to record traffic

    Thanks Tony, that was a concern of mine as well and why I am hoping to use a neighbors house but so far the closest one in our watch group is 3 houses down from the stop sign but it might work. Currently we've only seen radar trailer boxes with a camera that record/show your speed for the city...

    Looking for battery/solar operated Camera to record traffic

    Hey guys, I am looking for a battery operated camera that I can mount for a few days on a light post and record traffic. We are having problems with people using our street as a cut through in the mornings to get to the freeway. The community had come together to request a no right turn to our...

    I have a sd52C225u set up and it works great but I noticed tonight that there is a noticeable red light (power?) on when standing below it. Is there a setting to turn this off? Thanks!

    Qolsys IQ panel 2

    I have one of these through link interactive. The only integration I use is with smartthings and that just to auto-arm it if we forget when leaving a certain geofence area (via smartthings ios app) I haven't found a way to integrate any of the Dahua cameras I have set up through BI since Link...

    Looking for an outdoor WiFi ? $142 Netgear Orbi Outdoor AC3000 Tri-band

    I am using this and it works great for us. We have a 2 tier back yard and the upper tier always had spotty reception. I'm running all Ubiquiti gear and decided to try out the AC Mesh and couldn't be happier. I've got it mounted off an eave on our second story and we've got full bars now when...

    Small Form Factor (SFF) Optiplex ok?

    This is what I use also. There is a thread on here (I searched but couldn't find it again) That I followed that has you take out the dual 2.5" HD chassis and original HD, replace it with a 3.5 chassis for the Purple WD Drive and then get a SSD to install the OS on and about a 1.5' long esata...

    Lost a camera in BI GUI but still in properties...

    It was weird I could still see the camera in the iphone app but when I got home and tried what you suggested there was nothing on the desktop level. What finally got it back was for me to right click in the main camera's screen and select maximize frame. Then hitting esc got me back out of...
