    Not mine, but for some reason the front porch looks familiar from someone else here. Maybe not. Possible tornado touches down in WNY

    Which cam for pointing through window (day/night) to use with BI?

    Not sure on the BI upgrade. I am currently using this camera through a window until I mount it outside. Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z) In daylight it is great, when the sun hits the window I do get some glare back from the blinds in the window. At night it's also great, but...

    Fatal self defense shooting in Chicago

    Seems like they knew each other. The camera is very sharp, not sure what was up with the glitching in the first few seconds.

    New to BI, Server Spec Question

    I would get the i5 out of the two, and make sure it supports QuickSync.

    15 Best IP Surveillance Cameras in 2017.... I think NOT

    Sites like these are SEO optimized ad revenue factories. For example, Ctrl F the article and search for "one of" . 19 hits in one article. Great writing. uBlock Origin shows 15 blocked ads on the main page. I'm sure Tom Swanson is a real person too.

    Camouflage a camera on chimney

    Mount an old sat tv dish to the bracket? Seriously though, it depends on the stack, colors, etc. It's not going to be too easy with the massive bracket and the fact that the camera needs to move around.

    Is it possible to add live weather radar in Blue Iris

    This would be useful for remote property monitoring or for public beach/landscape streams. People get really nerdy with weather sometimes.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Very discrete. There will be no hiding mine, but they'll be paint matched as best I can. I plan on using junction boxes in each corner. Any reason to switch to wall mounts like yours?

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    This helps a little, I can picture my one car driveway and the surrounding area. For the dog park, using your frame it would be about 3-5 Prius lengths behind your car in the top right of the frame. Do you still have room to aim the turret up a bit? I would need to capture less driveway and...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Does anyone have these placed around the 7ft high mark? I'm thinking of getting two placed under the eave of my garage door. 1 aimed left for general driveway/front walk way/road coverage, the other zoomed in to the small dog park approximately 30-50ft away (50 being far end). I am currently...

    Garage Door Automation

    I went with Open Garage, but haven't fully implemented remote monitoring/alerting yet. I plan on going with a VPN or IFTTT setup. I liked that it's essentially a remote relay switch and can be used on any opener going forward. You can even wire it to a remote so you don't have to have it mounted...
