    Trouble setting motion detection settings

    Sorry for ANOTHER question/issue.. I reduced my motion sensor zones/sensitivity and am relying more on trip wires. Today I started getting a bunch of false alerts and realized it was reflections in the windows of the car. I assume that there is no fix? Maybe turn off motion during the day...

    Trouble setting motion detection settings

    Ok new trouble noted last night@ FOG! The 5231 goes into IR/Night mode because it is furthest away from the flood lights. A few 100 emails later.. How do avoid this?

    Trouble setting motion detection settings

    I should have added that I set a dedicated gmail address for motion alerts. Keeps my personal, school, work email accounts clean.

    Trouble setting motion detection settings

    Got it working much better. Moved the cars out if the driveway and did thr motion zones more accurately adjusted threshold and sensitivity. A cat and crow set it off, but no more false alerts. A card did drive by and used a a foot or so of my driveway for a U turn and I got an email. I added...

    Trouble setting motion detection settings

    i can’t seem to eliminate false detection alerts. I set the motion zone to be only the driveway. I turned the sensitivity down and the threshold up. The cars passing on the road headlights seem to be the trouble. I have also set up the IVS trigger at the edge of the driveway. Should I give...

    Wirelessly connecting NVR to home network

    i would like to keep my NVR in my rental garage, but have push notifications, email and possible remote viewing. I have purchased a Dahua NVR. Would a Ubiquiti Bullet or a USB wifi adapter work?

    More cameras or better cameras?

    Can you expound upon that? I know that some of the 2mp cameras have superior low lux performance. I just put up quantity 3, two build flood lights with 15watt LED bulbs that will go on photcells. Plus there is a streetlight at the other side of my 30x28 driveway pad

    More cameras or better cameras?

    Is it better to have more cameras or better resolution. I probably could cover what I need with 3-4 cameras. If I went with 2MP cameras, I could probably buy double the number of higher quality 8mp cameras. The longest distance I need to identify is 35' Howard

    New here- First system, need advice, camera placement/type

    I am trying to be ahead of package and car burglars... A lot of our neighbors have had packages stolen/cars rifled through. I have no experience with camera systems other than seeing friends post blurry/dark photos hoping someone recognizes the thief stealing their stuff. I do have an IT...

    New here, looking for cameras and POE switch

    I should have added- Any suggestions on a MIX of cameras to maximize effectiveness. I think it is a small area that probably could be covered by 4 cameras, but am willing to double up with different features to ensure effectiveness.

    New here, looking for cameras and POE switch

    I read the cliff notes and I guess I under estimated the spider problem. They are very prevalent here the Pacific Northwest! If turrets are as easy to mount, I am good with whatever works. That is why I am here.

    New here, looking for cameras and POE switch

    I thought/think bullets were appropriate for ease of mounting... Here is what I am trying to protect. Very small yard, tight houses. One car is always in the driveway (motorcycle/bicycles take up 1/2). Street light is on the pole in front of yard. I am trying to avoid poor quality/useless...

    New here, looking for cameras and POE switch

    I am looking for 8 bullet cameras with good color night vision (75'?) to watch my house, driveway, and porch. I was thinking of 8 of these IPC-HFW5831E-ZE Would I be better mixing cameras (I intend to have a lot of overlap of field of view) Some cameras optimized for daytime and some for...
