    YouTube Live Streams

    Good tips! Yes, I think segmented accounts would be a great start, I'm going to see if all accounts can do 10 streams or if new accounts only get one, etc. Youtube is trying to really crack down on spammers, which there are a LOT of them on youtube unfortunately. I'm trying to offer some good...

    YouTube Live Streams

    I have been streaming multiple live streams of my IP cameras over the past 5 to 10 years... Usually around 12-13 streams, all weather cameras covering California. However, it appears as of around Jan 13th, 2026, youtube is now seeming to limit the number of streams they will allow me to do...

    Prism Violet Cam - HDR Weather Cam?

    How long will PTZ Motor / Gears Last?

    On my PTZ cameras, I have the camera running a tour/patrol 24/7/365. The camera has around 8 positions (different zoom levels as well) that it rotates through every 60 seconds, all day long, all year long. How long should I expect the gears / motor on the PTZ will last? Is it easy to wear them...
