After having some reasonable success with my Reolink POE doorbell and 2 of the Reolink Duo 2 POE cameras in Blue Iris, I decided to try out the new $110 Reolink 6MP 360° fisheye camera for an interior front door camera to catch who answers the front door, who is outside the front door when open...

Banner at top says $49.99 and when I click on it and add to cart it says $57.99. What gives?

I have noticed on the last three 5442 Dahua cameras when I plug the camera into the switch in my office for initial setup, it always seems to take the IP of another Dahua camera on the network and it acts strange as the previous Dahua was set as static address but it seems to flip back and forth...

I have a Loryta IPC-E3541F-AS-M from Andy mounted in hallway mode looking at my front door from inside. I have to rotate it 270° and mirror it to make it look like I want. When I do that the alerts and clips all get messed up with triplets in bad interlaced artifacts that make it unusable. I...

When I try to record my new doorbell camera footage, which is rotated 270° so it is vertical. The first time I tried it the app crashed. The 2nd time I tried it, the video feed immediately rotates back to "16x9" ratio and puts green blocks on bottom portion of the screen covering part of the...

I see these being placed near the front door on some pictures people post here. Is this just best practice or requirements in some places? I am thinking I will be catching the mail man, UPS guy, general public, etc. Should I have the sign up or is just common courtesy? With the advent of the...

Here is what I am thinking. Any thoughts to improve? This is my first one and I have never punched down before or created by own Ethernet cables. I am thinking I can probably easily use 12 of my 16 port switch down here with at least (3) APs, (6) Cameras, and (3) network drops to rooms (office...

I want to route a few Ethernet cables from a basement utility room, up through the garage (shared wall) and into my attic. Due to the offset, and wall insulation, I don't think I will have the capability (or maybe patience) to fish it all in the wall and was considering surface raceway for the...

I am trying to slowly get into this "hobby" if you will and am stepping up from Foscam/Amcrest to my first Dahua camera. I didn't realize they wouldn't come with a power supply. What power supply do I order for a single exterior camera? I did a quick search on Aliexpress and the plugs all seem...

Have had a few ding dong ditches as well as strange people coming up to the door to probe if people are home. I want to get some good photos of people. I am currently just looking to repurpose my cheap garage cam (Foscam FI9821P). It's garbage, I know. But it is wifi and available...so that...
