For those of you that are familiar with these apps, do you know if they will conflict with one another? Can you have all three running at the same time on the BI server? This is why I ask: We travel in our RV 3-5 trips a year for at least 4 weeks at a time. I like to check on my cams 2-3 times...

Last Thursday a stranger walked up to my front porch, does some stretching exercises using the columns and windowsill as supports, looks around and then leaves. Just before he left, he pulled out keys from his pocket as if he was going to open the front door but pauses, turns around and leaves...

Last night I was checking out our subdivision's Facebook page. There was a post about a porch pirate nabbing some packages at a house in the NE corner of the subdivision, a few streets over from me. A tale of woe from the lady stating that someone in an old red car had snatched some packages...

Was putting out the trash tonight and noticed that one of the drawers on the toolbox was open, again. So I closed it and put the bag in the trash can, rolled it down the driveway and walked back. Get to the garage door and notice that the drawer is open again. I pause and think that I know I...

I really hate thieves! So today I went to the storage yard to bring the laundry back to the RV. We had just returned from a trip on Monday and parked it in the storage yard at about 4:00pm. I had stopped by there on Wednesday for something, and all was well. Today I discovered that some perp...

Can you spot the idiot? I had replaced the three AGM batteries in my Cricket and wanted to see if they would perform as expected. So I needed to get it out of the garage. Yes the garage is quite overloaded, but really I am in the process of organizing and cleaning out. Really, I am. Now there...

I have been asked by a friend to come up with a solution for this problem. I imagine it will need some kind of wireless solution as running fiber is not really an option. I have NO experience doing this, so I am asking my friends here for their learned opinions. Need to have several IPcam...

Last night we had some really hard rains. This morning I noticed that my water meter box cover was gone, again. It has a habit of floating away when the rains are very heavy. Check out the short video to see just what happened.

I have been getting the following error in the log file: for a few weeks now. I do the repair/regenerate and all is fine for several days. But then it happens again. WTS is a camera group. I am on the latest stable version, 5.6.4.2 The 'Alerts' folder is on an SSD and is not even near...

This morning at 6:00am my BI instance upgraded to the latest, stable version (5.6.2.10). That is how I have it set up. Never had an issue until this upgrade. When I got on my desktop PC for my daily grind, my UI3 would not connect. So I logged in to my BI machine. BI was up but was not...

One of the issues with mounting an LPR (or any cam) low and in the garden is that the lens gets sprayed by the sprinklers. That has not been a problem in the past two years. But today I went out to clean the lenses on my two LPR cams and one was quite bad. My standard 'Sunglass Hut' spray...

Michigan becomes third state to legalize digital license plates (yahoo.com) Wonder how this will impact our LPR cams. Expensive, subscription service. If you miss a payment, the plate shows INVALID.

For the last several days, I have had an issues making posts in threads. When I hit 'Post Reply' the interface just hangs for 25-30 seconds. It then flashes and quickly scrolls to the top of the page. It is quite annoying and only happens here. If I edit that post and hit save, it updates...

CSI: Miami - "Can you enhance that?" Of course! Tonight I ran across a post elsewhere from a friend that does digital photo work. You know, cleaning up photos, making enlargements, restoring old portraits, etc. He posted about this AI software called Gigapixel AI from Topaz Labs. The examples...

Make sure you pay attention to what you are doing while adjusting your cam. Note he is using a smart phone to see the FOV.

We were out of town and I was checking my cams remotely one morning and noticed one of the Deputies that regularly patrol my subdivision had been at my front door. She has come to me a few times requesting video as she knows I have fairly good coverage of the streets at my corner. I noticed that...

So I had a flat on my coach (RV) and had to order a new tire online. None of the local tire dealers had the tire I needed in stock and Michelin had it on backorder. Luckily my wife found one online in Kentucky and they shipped it out quickly. Now this tire is 42" tall and is 140 pounds. Was...

Father and son shootout captured on video | FOX 5 News - YouTube Awful lot of blur in this video. No timestamp but it looks like this might be at dusk? Looks like the son's gun had a misfeed and he clears it.

A few weeks ago some guy was cutting across my lawn and the Security Squirrel ran him off. Well Saturday the guy came back with a couple of friends to try and even the score. However, the Security Squirrel came out on top and those little wankers ran away with their tails between their legs...

This cheeky little wanker taunts and mocks me all over the front porch and driveway. Then threatens to steal my catalytic converter.

Helmet Cam from a Bike Ride in Bangkok. I like how he has his mirrors set.

This guy decided to cut across my lawn. Bad idea. The Security Squirrel (SS) made sure to teach him who was boss. After the encounter, the guy decided to go home and with a few choice words and a few arm gestures to the SS, he went back the way he came with his tail tucked between his legs...

Pulled these two stills from a local police FaceBook page. I am surprised at how good the image is. Not discussing FOV or placement, but the color night image is fairly good, at least the second one. Not sure if a motion light came on or the cam opened up the exposure. Have they improved thier...

Hardly anyone comes to a complete stop at this corner. So far there have not been any collisions. But this one was very close. A lot of people barely slow down and do cut the corner, like this guy. But the Mustang leaned on the horn and the pickup stopped in time. So he comes to a stop a full...
