    Recording issue on one camera only?

    I recently installed a sercom rc4551 camera in a bird nesting box and I'm viewing it (along with four other cams) on an android tablet with tinycam pro. I can't seem to get the video recording feature WITHIN tinycam to work on the sercom. It works fine on all the other cams. When I tap the...

    LocalServiceControl.exe preventing auto boot

    In the event of a power outage, I've set up BI to run as a service and my BI windows machine to power on when a/c power is restored. During the boot process I'm prompted to allow LocalServiceControl.exe to run requiring keyboard input. Kind of defeats the purpose of setting things up this way...

    Accessing secure cameras remotely

    I have an HP Elitedesk running BI. It's set up with two NICs. One has access to the internet, the other does not. I also have two switches, each connected to it's own NIC on the PC. My cameras are connected to the switch without Internet access. The other switch allows connection of numerous...

    Google pixel tablet

    Thanks Tony. I don't have the pixel yet. I'm using a samsung galaxy tab S4 to monitor cameras and its getting a bit worn. I have some screen burn in. Thought the newish pixel might be a good match for Tinycam. I've been using the Galaxy with Tinycam for years without issue.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    I'm curious at what height are you guys mounting the doorbell? Trying to find a spot for one and have read anything from 40 to 50+ inches high. How high are you mounting these?

    Ubiquiti dream machine SE

    I have the dream router. Software is great. Wifi coverage kinda sucks tho. Just ordered a U6 LR access point and hoping it helps cover my property. Would think you'd want more storage than what comes built in. Can you add a large surveillance specific hard drive to that unit?

    Amazon Delivery Driver

    It's been my experience Amazon drivers are generally friendly and happy at their job. Gotta assume Amazon treats their people pretty well. Could be a reason they are as massive as they are. I know there are Amazon haters out there. Anytime I can get obscure items to my door in 2 days is a win in...

    Tinycam Monitor PRO Android - 100% dropped frames

    No expert here, but did you try using software encoding instead of hardware? As I recall, this helped me with a similar issue.

    TP-Link AV600 Powerline Ethernet Adapter with two cameras?

    Thanks. I wasn't thinking switch for some reason. I see how that could work. Have an unused 6 port I'll put to good use.

    TP-Link AV600 Powerline Ethernet Adapter with two cameras?

    I've been using the powerline adapter above to control a camera in a shed about 50-60 feet from the house. I'd like to put another camera in the shed and am wondering if there is a way to use this one adapter to operate two cameras? I have 120v power in the shed, so poe isn't needed. Would just...

    Pre Wire for a friend

    Pretty sure the 3/8 is the width of the heat shrink tubing when it's flat. Not sure 3/8 will fit ethernet cable. Anyone know for sure?

    Hikvision DS-2DE4A425IW-DE

    I'll see if I can figure that out. But where to buy one? Call me crazy, but I prefer to buy from an authorized retailer or someone like Andy that is trustworthy. Hate buying from unknown sellers.

    Hikvision DS-2DE4A425IW-DE

    Bought one of these a few years ago and have been pretty happy with it. I'm looking for another and it seems to have disappeared from the BH Photo site. It doesn't say discontinued, the page is just gone. Anyone know if this is still a current model? If not, have a substitute? The thing I like...
