    Camera Trigger Sprinkler System?

    Very interesting thanks. Good to hash it all out here for someone in the future looking for ideas and clues etc. Stupidly as I type all of this sitting right in front of me on the book mark bar is alexa.amazon.com whole web interface for alexa with all its settings and customization. My...

    Camera Trigger Sprinkler System?

    That's my main concern, forgetting I have something in place. I even started on simple sewing needles cut down and affixed to an ice cream stick to be fitted behind the door handle of the vehicle. Be one really really nasty surprise for anyone including me!

    Camera Trigger Sprinkler System?

    Like that, would love something like that, hell even a concrete block propped up above and trip wire would give me immense satisfaction. Here's the paintball mines and electronic firecracker. I think a firecracker in a trash can would scare the sh!t out of him, have to think he's amped up and...

    Camera Trigger Sprinkler System?

    Yes, totally in the back of my mind that. That's why I am aiming for something "natural" looking or functioning like the in ground sprinkler going off which is programmed for 4 am. So that the fool thinks it is just his bad luck or timing and doesn't do any damage or any acts of revenge.

    Camera Trigger Sprinkler System?

    Here's a stupid question :) Without effort and by design Alexa can fire the sprinkler system via voice. Issue is how to get the camera to talk to Alexa programmatically. The camera or viewing software can "talk" to you via email or alerts and alarms etc. Can one get the camera to synthesize a...

    Camera Trigger Sprinkler System?

    This is the thing, I have to believe there programmable calls which can be used. I have since asked the camera manufacturer and the sprinkler controller manufacturer for a listing of what can be done with their devices. Alexa as the bridge in all of this might be were I should be looking. While...

    Camera Trigger Sprinkler System?

    Like that and the mayo idea. Trip wire was the first thing I wanted to do as it would be flawless on the low lighting. Just got worried that I would forget it one day and would drive over or through it ripping whatever it would be anchored to. Mayo or fake blood. Tons of practical joke pranks...

    Camera Trigger Sprinkler System?

    Very small confine that is already well lit up. Yes, excellent profile video of the POS despite wearing the hoodie pulled down thief attire but, so far not actionable yet. First time capturing the event pure outrage on my part to the point of almost being prepared to sit closer with a baseball...

    Camera Trigger Sprinkler System?

    Very nice, thanks. So something can be done just need to tie it all in. The area is very small one car wide driveway with a slight over hang (car port), above it, which is all lit up. Camera in fact doesn't even switch to B&W when the sun sets. Just don't have power or water in that spot other...

    Hi, Looking for ideas / solutions to get my security camera (Vivotek) to trigger via motion detection my sprinkler system (Rainbird WiFi). Ever since installing the camera 180 degree on the garage door frame, captured what appears to be the same scumbag car door checker in the last year. Been...

    Cannot Access Web GUI

    Thanks, as I posted I came across an old thread here about telnet'ing in which I was planning on doing, then someone mentioned ODM which I just installed and spent some time with. What a brilliant piece of software. Gives all the url parameters needed and a lot more options. Just finished a...

    Very small PoE Cam for bird feeder?

    There are quite a few out there, selecting quality might be the issue. Not sure the TOS here regarding posting links but google: I706-P Black $27. What it looks like is another question. Otherwise if you are handy any 'mini board camera' with wiring should also do, if you connect your own RJ45...

    Cannot Access Web GUI

    Hi, Just received a new Honeywell camera and for the life of me cannot access the onboard GUI. This is not a network issue, rather all the browsers I have tried, are spitting out SSL / TLS errors. That is it is not safe to access the site or the site connection has been reset or the server is...

    Basic Network Question

    Have everything set up now as needed. Thanks all the input hopefully it will help the next person in the future. I opted for wired for obvious reasons. Simplest a couple of powerline adapaters for plug and play works fine for my needs for now. MoCA I will investigate later. What I have to say...

    Basic Network Question

    thanks everyone, yes subnet is same and yes IP's have different last 2 or even 3 numbers etc. Spent hours yesterday on it and tried every single setting in the modem. Yes 100% there are two different IP's in the camera for wireless and ethernet. This informative post leads me to what might be...

    Hi been struggling for hours now and cannot get a connection between the two unless I am on the identical wifi network (not even a different internal network). That's PC wireless to modem to cam only on the same network (e.g. 5G-guest works but not 5G or 2.4G). What I'm aiming for is PC to...
