    Synology Surveillance Station + Dahua Cam Support

    I have been running a Synology NAS and SS for several years. The Synology NAS I love, but I have never felt that great about SS. I spent around $250 on camera licenses, and it definitely adds up as i also had to buy larger NAS device to get the cpu power to support the streams. I run the...

    Parking Lot Brawl with Weapons

    Wow that did not make much sense. 4 on 2 - no honor, weapons , gun, kicking the guy. Holy shit that looks like someone should have been seriously hurt. Scary. Then the cops are a bunch of einsteins.

    Wonder What He Was Planning

    That guy was definitely up to no good. Looking left and right, hands moving nervously, instantly turns around when he sees the bike.

    High Speed Pursuit - Police Shoot Thru Windshield

    It looks to me like it was the officer shooting from his vehicle that caused them to stop. The car was still functioning. You can also see the officer was extremely concerned about being shot at, even instructing the other police car to not get too close. So when he closed in to take those...

    Well, it finally happened. Crazy Neighbor Shoots Into Homes

    Insane story. it really goes to show that no matter how careful you are in life, there are people that are simply animals. Maybe the drugs caused it etc, but when the person you are dealing with isn't playing with a full deck, theres no predicting their behavior or willingness to take a life...

    Hopping the fence to take a nap

    What is it?

    It's definitely totally wild. Hundreds of acres of woods back there. I practiced my google fu and now that I am an official coyote expert, it appears their pups are born in early spring - so she is right on schedule. This is also new england - so it's eastern coyote territory. I do hear...

    Carelessness cost me...I got hit...

    These idiots are everywhere and they don't care. From what I can tell they have very low risk and even if caught they do not face much in terms of repercussions. That's why they only go after unlocked cars etc. Our society has grown too soft where we rely on police and the system, and...

    Dahua IPC-HFW5231E-Z12E to get plates at 260 feet?

    There's a great thread on this camera, I would check it out. From the camera location do you have a clear view? It looks from the overhead that there are items in the way of a clear shot. While the stop sign is obviously nicer, you can get good shots on moving cars as well as long as the...

    Casing a pool water heater

    Yes thieves for sure. Looking for anything that wasn't bolted down. First thing the kid does is check the door. One kid in hat and hoodie, and another stays in the car with a flashlight. I bet these guys have stolen copper coils out of air conditioners before. Dude's looking at the water...

    Dahua HDW5831R-ZE review

    Nice review! Do you think using h.265 would work better with the 10mbit limit? Would the quality look any better?

    Safari plugin for Dahua IPCs.

    When I run my cams in h.264 the mac plugins work fine. Since I am running h.265 - no luck with the plugins. Any chance you switched encoding?

    More prowlers

    One look at how those characters were dressed its obvious they were up to no good. How warm was it at the location, it looked too warm for dark hoodies.

    Just an update - installed the latest 2017-11 firmware and everything seems to be working. All cameras now working in synology configured as teh Dahua 5231. It looks to me like Dahua fixed something.

    dealership prowler

    That dealership is pretty well lit. Did you call the police or do you try and see if they are doing anything? He definitely knew where the camera was and clearly blocks his head, and when he went under the overhang it's when you have to worry if they are breaking in. I like you assessment of...

    Dahua 5231 RZ fialed to connect Synology after update

    I think if folks want to get this fixed they need to open tickets with synology support. They know about the issues. In my case after opening a ticket, they did in fact get it working. I think they made some changes to my device pack file. However, the device pack was recently updated again...

    Crash!!

    I bet that hit woke him/her up!!! I didn't even see the car slow down, probably drunk at that time of the night. I bet someone can ID the make/model of the car from those pics. Does your road do local neighborhood traffic, or through traffic? I'm betting the person was driving home....

    Suggestions on ethernet cable

    monoprice.com I only use cat6 or better now that 2.5 and 5g ethernet is real. Many use 5e or better, which is plenty for cameras.

    High Stress Security Cam Job

    This is too funny. I think it was a joke and then bababouy replies seriously that it IS what his workstation looks like. Too funny.

    Exploding bait box (not mine)

    That's funny as hell. This is also the first time I heard they are called porch pirates. I think there are some good lessons here in the cam placement. That guy was wearing what thieves seem to always wear - hoodies. I did not see any shots that would get a face id, and as mentioned no...
