    Auto tracking

    Well sometimes the simple solution is the best, isn't it. I've tested the ethernet limit, I'm slightly over it actually from house to shop, but it works great anyway. What is the POE limit though? for putting power through the unused twisted pairs? How many feet?

    Auto tracking

    Very well. That's why you guys are here. I think dad will be happy if I can do this whole job for under 3000. I can go buy a couple huge spools of ethernet and just get going at it with multiple cheap cameras rather than figuring out how to program some shitty camera management software (and it...

    Auto tracking

    I don't live in a house with a back yard and a front driveway. This is a farm split into two halves, and I have ethernet in one building on each half. I'm looking at more than ten cameras and over 1000 feet of ethernet cable. I'm just trying to see if I can accomplish my goals with fewer...

    well suppose you had some fixed cameras, if I had some of those covering key areas and they 'trip', can I alert a PTZ to rotate to that area and attempt to auto track?

    Auto tracking

    The point of the cameras is to 1. notify us that someone is on the property 2. get a picture of their face 3. give us a good idea of what's going on day to day... like give us a few extra seconds of notice when someone shows up unexpectedly

    I need some direction

    Hi there! So you guys like Dahua... I've attached a picture of the farm. The blue rectangle is a new building not shown. My goal is to secure what's inside the drawn area. It's annoying, there's a lot of buildings aren't there. RIght now, I'm interested in PTZ cameras with auto tracking...

    Notification if the cameras are down. iDMSS Plus

    If the cameras respond to ping, you could write a little program to ping them all every so often and report the results to a server on the internet somewhere.

    I need some direction

    Hi! I'm new at IP cameras. I'm managing a farm with multiple sites. I spent years as a programmer you can treat me like an 'advanced' IT person if you like. I don't have much time anymore for computers, though, and I need someone to point me towards some software that supports multiple kinds...
