    Thermal Mini Hybrid Bullet Camera

    Considering getting one of these. By thermal alarms, do you mean triggers or the alarm on the contacts? Does thermal motion detection work? Thanks, K.

    Tell us about your home automation!

    I just transitioned from Smartthings to Homeseer due to the unreliability of ST. Things unavailable, disappearing from ST, Z-wave mesh flaking out constantly. Under Homeseer everything has been rock solid so far. I bought the Pro Windows Hometroller but would recommend going non pro to anyone...

    I haven't installed mine yet but apparently you can leave the mechanical switch(es) in place and not replace with Picos. See page 22 of the below document. It's too big to upload here so grab it while you can if you are a Lutron Caseta user...

    Question on granting one camera access to a user

    Or could give wifi access to the LAN as they are right next door. Obviously may need to limit what he can access on the LAN. Maybe use port isolation on guest wireless network?

    Question on granting one camera access to a user

    Why not set up a user directly on the camera and give him access via the camera's IP and interface skipping BI all together?

    PTZ Pendant Mount

    Ok, so I thought I would update... I considered 3 options in the end. 1. I could have cobbled something together with black malleable pipe and painted it. 2. I tried the Hikvision DS-1663ZJ Indoor/Outdoor Ceiling Mount Bracket but the shaft of the camera didn't fit. 3. I ended up removing the...

    Ok PC for 20 camera setup?

    If you look a little longer you could probably get that machine for $400 or less. Mine is the same with 8 gb and it cost $320 on eBay a month ago but also came with Win10.

    Ok PC for 20 camera setup?

    I have a HP Prodesk i7-6700. Its a SFF and has 3 internal Sata cables. 1 for SSD, 1 for 10TB Storage, the third is currently hooked to the optical but there is room for another 3.5 in there which could use that 3rd cable if you needed. Cost around $300 on eBay.

    PTZ Pendant Mount

    Give the man a cupie doll! That is awesome. So the 10 inch pole just unscrews from the flange/mount?

    PTZ Pendant Mount

    So the smaller wall mount which comes with the 49225 has the three bolt slip fitting without adapter. Interesting. Guess I'll need to order another adapter if I want to use nipples......mmmm, nipples.

    PTZ Pendant Mount

    My 49225 arrives Monday. I have the SD59230U-HNI sitting next to me and it has the 3 bolt clamp but came with the screw adapter as well. I had assumed the 49225 would come with the adapter too, did yours?

    PTZ Pendant Mount

    Principle holds though, I just need the floor flange, a close nipple and a F:F coupling. The mount adapter looks more like 1.5" though, not 0.5". I will have a chance to take to home depot on Monday and check.

    PTZ Pendant Mount

    That's awesome, thank you. A bit of white paint and I'm sure I could rig something together if the threads fit.

    PTZ Pendant Mount

    I have 2 black face Dahua PTZs which I am looking to mount underneath overhangs using pendant style ceiling mounts. I would like to make the cameras as incognito as I can (despite them being monsters) so would like as short a pendant as possible. Dahua makes the PFB300C ceiling mount but that...

    Australian GST starts on Jul.1st

    Yes, the socialist governments enlist everyone else to do the dirty work for them and allow them to charge you a fee for the pleasure so your 20% GST becomes 20% plus a $10 admin fee on a $100 purchase so it's really 30%. Happens in the UK and Europe too. UPS, Fedex etc. are the tax collectors.

    Monocle: View IP Cameras with Alexa (Echo Show, Echo Spot, Fire TV, Fire Tablet)

    I'm not much help so far pointing out the obvious but check what the device is called within Alexa App>Smart Home>Devices. I had to delete the cam then rediscover to get mine working, then I had changed the name slightly so was asking Alexa for the wrong thing.

    Monocle: View IP Cameras with Alexa (Echo Show, Echo Spot, Fire TV, Fire Tablet)

    Weird that it works with one and not the other. Did you... 1. Put the url in format: rtsp://192.168.1.XXX:XXX/live 2. Set authentication to digest and input your credentials there? I have never used it but I think VLC has the username and password in the URL whereas Monocle doesn't. That was...

    Monocle: View IP Cameras with Alexa (Echo Show, Echo Spot, Fire TV, Fire Tablet)

    Just a note to say I have this up and running on my system and am able to connect to Dahua cams directly through the rtsp feeds. It works great for places around the house where multi cam views aren't needed. e.g. If I hear my driveway alarm go off I can open up the feed from that camera...

    Trump's China Tariffs and CCTV personal imports

    HI, Does anyone know if the new 25% tariffs are going to impact personal imports such as purchases from Aliexpress? If so how will the tariff be collected? I know in Europe that UPS/Fedex etc. act as an agent for the govt. and collect the fees (along with an admin fee) before they will...
