    Car Thief Crashes and Bails

    DM me and I will provide more details, but I don't feel comfortable revealing them publicly for a number of reasons. I recently moved to Arlington, VA, which is a huge improvement. I caught all kinds of stuff on camera at the old house, with this one being the thing that ultimately prompted us...

    Car Thief Crashes and Bails

    Unfortunately I do not know because I have since moved and I left that camera at the old house and otherwise reset Blue Iris. Highly likely I would have left everything at the default settings.

    Car Thief Crashes and Bails

    I was waiting until after the legal proceedings had concluded to post this. Enjoy. Edit: This was taken with a DAHUA IPC-HDW5830R-Z 8MP.

    Recent experience with Unifi cameras?

    I've searched and everything on the forum is dated. Wondering if anyone has good experience with the Unifi cameras, specifically the video quality of the G3 and G3 pro? I'm moving soon to a much bigger house and will have to overhaul my security setup. I currently use all Unifi networking...

    New Dahua Catalog for 2th Season

    Is there a list somewhere of manufacturer suggested pricing for these cameras?

    Security Camera Solves Hit & Run Mystery

    Awesome! I posted some footage a while back of a private garbage truck taking out my neighbor's car and driving away. I gave the footage to my neighbor and the company made it right. Garbage truck takes out my neighbor's car

    Do police ignore your video?

    Surprising and sad to hear. For all DC's faults, the police here are amazing. If a few neighbors get together and say we want more police presence because of X or Y, you can bet they'll send more car, bike, and foot patrols down your block at least for a while. They go out of their way to be...

    Question for you Pros

    Awesome information. Thanks so much!!

    Do police ignore your video?

    Not that worried. If the police want the footage they will get it, whether or not you have agreed in advance to provide it. Unless the camera is camouflaged, they are likely to see it when they scope out the crime scene.

    Question for you Pros

    Out of curiosity, at each TV do you then convert the signal back to HDMI for input into the TV? And if so, what do you use for that? I wouldn't think you could just plug the ethernet cable in as an input, and you probably want to save the ethernet input on the TV for internet for Netflix and...

    Do police ignore your video?

    DC police request and post to their YouTube channel homeowner videos all the time. DC will reimburse you up to $500 for your video cameras if you agree to provide footage if they need it.

    Dahua New 5MP Starlight line up?

    Where did you see these? I have only ever bought Dahuas from Andy so am curious where to go for the US versions. Hope they get a vari-focal turret option.

    Dahua New 5MP Starlight line up?

    Very interesting. No turret option yet ... Given that this is the US site, where are you supposed to buy these things? I've gotten all of my Dahuas from Andy.

    New product for advanced features.

    Seems like a really cool product, but probably a bit steep for me. Good luck!

    Attempted invasion of my neighbor's house

    Seriously. We had a murder one block from this location last year where a homeless guy pushed his way into a basement apartment and stabbed a woman to death. We live amongst savages. DC police find car of woman who was stabbed to death in Northeast

    Attempted invasion of my neighbor's house

    Even in the nicest neighborhoods in DC you are never very far from the riffraff. This is in Capitol Hill.

    Attempted invasion of my neighbor's house

    I'll have to think about that. I have so much foot/car traffic on my street I would be concerned that it would just be bouncing around all the time.

    Attempted invasion of my neighbor's house

    Luckily some of my neighbors have cameras (thanks to the DC surveillance camera rebate program) and we have some decent footage of his face. Now it's in MPD's hands. In case anyone has any interest in seeing what the footage from a Dahua 8MP IPC-HDW5830R-Z looks like, here is that footage from...

    Attempted invasion of my neighbor's house

    This is infuriating. My neighbor's wife and young children were home when this son of a bitch tried to break in (and he knew it when he looked in the window, but he did it anyway). He tried to push through the door but gave up when she called upstairs and asked her husband (who wasn't home) to...

    Dahua Camera DNS

    I'm sure there are multiple ways to do it but I think you would want the cameras and the NVR to be in the same vlan. At least that is how mine is set up.

    Set up an extra camera I have (Dahua HDW5231-R-Z) and confirmed we have an unwanted visitor.

    Hello From Philly!

    Also, since you have Ubiquiti products I'm guessing you're pretty tech savvy, but regardless what kind of cameras you get you'll probably want to isolate them from your main network(s) and also prevent them from accessing the internet.

    Hello From Philly!

    I am using Blue Iris on a PC. I highly recommend it, but don't have experience with others. There is a whole section of the forum devoted to Blue Iris. Good luck!

    Hello From Philly!

    Yes, I would definitely recommend that camera. One above your door would be good too but you would want to configure/locate it to really capture faces coming to your door by zooming in (a wide viewing angle there is not going to help you anyway because it will get cut off by the walls). I might...
