    Camera for temporary external use - Tapo?

    I'm in need of a low-cost camera for temporary use on the exterior of a property. It needs to work with Blue Iris. The camera will be re-deployed later to monitor an outbuilding. Looking at the Tapo Outdoor (TP-Link) (around GBP40) but that has big WiFi anntennas. Is there anything more...

    EZVIZ multiple DB1C with single smart chime ?

    I'm looking at the EZVIZ products. Some support 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz and others only 2.4GHz. That might be something to consider (not sure of actual performance in situ)

    Clips not playing

    This is now working. Not sure what happened. I might have moved the data connector (drive was spinning) when I removed the PC cover (as I sometimes do during warmer weather), but the drive caddy was seated below the cover so...

    Flat Ethernet cable

    That is helpful, thank you. WRT the spec "The SSTP (Shielded Foil Twisted Pairs) are made from full copper strands". It's going to be a pain to install, although it will be behind a fascia board and sandwiched between that and the original wooden fascia board (probably 3mm gap).

    Flat Ethernet cable

    I have a camera installation where flat cable would very much ease the install. The camera is a Dahua turret and to be powered by POE. The flat cable is advertised as Cat 8 with a height of 2.8mm. This low profile will very much ease its routing behind a fascia board and through the exterior...

    Anneke FCD600 dual lens 6MP turret camera.

    I know the Anneke FCD 600 6MP (not 4K ver) is not the best but I'm thinking it might meet my needs for video coverage of a side passage at the boundary of my property. The passage is narrow, at just under 3' (which would be less once I mounted the camera on a junction box). The frontage of the...

    Video clips on alerts not playing back on mobile

    I'm running BI 5.3.0.3 and not have not touched it for at least 12 months. The Windows box it runs on has been upgraded as when Mircosoft pushed updates and insisted. I can view live on my mobile (a Google Pixel 7) and I can see the thumbnails of the alerts/clips. However, when I click on them...

    Dahua HDW3549 camera for additional coverage of parking at front of property

    DH-IPC-HDW3549TMP-AS-LED The LED pitch seems different compared to the camera you referenced above. Are you suggesting it is not so good in low light and needs a floodlight?

    Dahua HDW3549 camera for additional coverage of parking at front of property

    I need an additional camera (existing is IPC-HDW5231R-Z ) to cover the parking area on the property from a different angle. I'm using Blue Iris 5.3.0.3. The HDW3549 is available here in UK for a good price. I'm interested to experiment with the warm light although it's not a must since there...

    Ring Floodlight Pro Wired - BI?

    Thanks for the guidance. I'm somewhat limited on siting for the camera and security lighting (driveway) by the filed of view (to cover the property) and access through the wall to power (and/or network cable). What is the nearest I could position the security light to the camera (assuming they...

    Does anyone have recent experience with the subject camera and Blue Iris? I'd be interested to know what is/is not possible. This product has a brightness control and brightness can be adjusted by the Ring App. Is that going to be possible via BI?

    Dahua SD22204UE-GN Mini PTZ

    A few questions about this camera which I am considering for use on a soffit board: 1) Can the camera be mounted/affixed directly to a soffit board or does it need a junction box like PFA137? (the cables would pass directly through the soffit to the loft) 2) Is this camera pan, tile and ZOOM...

    Installation issue with Ezviz DB1

    I have a concern related to this doorbell and hope you don't mind me asking here. Since it connects via WiFi I'm wondering how it performs in terms of alerts to mobile. My other cameras are wired via a POE hub to the BI server, meaning a hop via the router to the BI server for doorbell traffic...

    Can anyone point me in the right direction to manage settings for triggers at night where the subject (a person) is wearing dark clothing? I've just about got my zones and triggers set up as I need them, but found that a person wearing dark clothing at night did not trigger. I can redirect...
