    Not worth it using cameras

    Yeah. It's harder since I'm depressed. Also this thread may be null and void, detective says the forensic lab can't get any data off the computer. Oh well. It's fair time to give it back then!

    Not worth it using cameras

    I am. It's scary as hell losing everything you know all at once. I can't think coherently. I'll have cameras again, but safeguard it against hijacking with means... Ideas? Encrypt it?

    Not worth it using cameras

    Understand your frustrations, clearly I can't divulge much. Let's just say you are very warm, and i am meticulous with saving surevilance, I had 6 years on a PC of compressed but not encrypted video. Not fun knowing someone is going thru that with a fine toothed comb. No subpoena, raided (no...

    Not worth it using cameras

    May not ever use a camera again! They can get you into serious fucking trouble. Remember anything you own becomes property of police at thier will if it aids them. Nothing I did wrong but I'm short several thousand $ of eat.

    Escam RT-IPC (telnet) login?

    Not that observant myself... I know blueiris won't toggle it. Problem was a window reflection, which kind of tiles out light sensor as they probably are sensitive to ir not a big deal though.

    Amcrest 1920TVL - pings only. No TCP!

    Amcrest 1920TVL I have a 1920 TVL I believe. Darn power jack pin broke. Come on, it was in window, then I stapled the wire down the moulding to ac. How much stress can that be? Well moot point because I snapped off the jack and found a point for vIN. It starts, but light goes red...

    Power port broken - EasyN

    Well - I lhave bad luck. ANOTHER of my IP cams bit the dust for the same damn reason - the power jack broke. It's not like I'm swinging the damn things by the cords, by nature they are stationary objects,,,, I'm probably wasting my time. No reply on my amcrest Q.... It's a cheap-o "Easy-N"...

    Moved: Find alternate +5V power input for Amcrest 1920TVL

    Hi! I spent all day on this!!! My cam has a loose barrel jack - the anode pin in middle fell out!! So I traced the center + to it's pin, transverse arranged to jack (odd), and the neg... Well, some detialed ass soldering finally got wires on those pads from the bottom where the pins went thru...

    Limiting space per drive, not per-folder basis

    Gripe warning: I dont understand why BI has option to limit space allocated on a per-folder basis. That isn't the reality for folders storing video, which is dynamic. Folders do not have space constraints in normal PC situations, the drives do. I'd be limiting my space if I limited say folders...

    Get alert images... www json... Etc

    JSON syntax for alert images.... I KNOW IT EXISTS. help doesn't say explicitly what it is... UI3 has alert lists so it must know filenames. I want a count of alert images in past hour, etc...

    Poll BI WWW for # alerts / per ?

    Trying to get a aggregrate house activity quotient so I can put it into a servo and have a big analog meter of house activity... Using a ESP32 HTTP client.... the only thing I get from help is /alerts/(filename) -- not really helpful as it would need to poll every second to find matches, IF it...

    Amcrest feed lags 70s+ in BI

    It's a reasonably fast system... albiet i got it about 2 years ago... cpu is 60-70% I like overlays, there are 5 feeds. I didn't know VPP caused problems, a little rusty with this stuff as stressed out at work. I will see if disabling VPP has an effect. Have to wait and see, because resetting...

    Amcrest feed lags 70s+ in BI

    For some reason one camera - made by amcrest in 2017 (i forget model # and it's not in the web ui) is experiancing significant lag in BI. The delay is over a minute at times. I loaded up its proprietray applet and tried PTZ and response was fine. Still hadn't shown movement in BI, however...

    SDETER Camera - Any good?

    I was considering this camera as an INEXPENSIVE option since I'm on a very tight budget and I'm buying other electronics with it. I plan on getting the 720P variant as it's indoors and I don't need all those pixels (besides, it takes up more room and eats more CPU to run 1080). If it runs two...

    BI will not send sound to Cam when triggered

    It appears to be a bug. When you run as Service the client won't send sounds to camera! I don't know why.

    Minimizing nuisance alerts caused by headlights?

    a PIR would work well... one of those sensors work out to 16' or so and are not falsed by anything not heat-emitting.

    BI will not send sound to Cam when triggered

    Man, it would be nice if you could export camera settings... especially the motion maps. I have a nice one that I can't just re-create. I went to all the trouble of deleting the clones as well, along with motion maps... re-did em, still camera won't accept that sound.

    BI will not send sound to Cam when triggered

    No good. It can't be the camera, at least not only the camera, because Talk works.

    BI will not send sound to Cam when triggered

    Just a saying. A lot of people I suppose say, hey, this just stopped working! In my case yeah. I didn't change anything.

    BI will not send sound to Cam when triggered

    Like everyone says, this used to work and only recently stopped working. I cannot correlate it with an update.
