    Someone’s been spending too much time here

    Why stop there? Imagine all the cameras inside the home. Or how about the Panic Room/shelter with the Central Video Command/Threat Mitigation Station?

    Is this the right camera?

    Or if no or little ambient light IPC-B54IR-ZE-S3 instead of the turrets for a bit more IR light? (on my mind because I am working on this scenario) Regardless, you picked a winner!

    Lorex marketing sure does work

    I think most people are conditioned to think this way due to home video, cameras and phones. Of course, it doesn't help that the typical knowledge of security camera brands and technology comes at us at every big box store.

    T54IR-S3 facing outward from interior space - false alarms from passing pedestrians, how to configure correctly?

    Are you using IVS and NOT Motion detection?

    Definitely bad guys. You can tell because they're dressed in black.

    PSA for those purchasing new Dahua NVRs NVR16CH-AI-S2

    Thanks! I have avoided P2P so far but good to know for when I am able to work with my NVR.

    Installing an Axis speaker to run the door checkers off

    How do you help your neighbors with recommending and installing cameras?

    If I were to be asked by a neighbor, I would only be a conduit for what I have learned here. And they had better be DIYers because I don't have the time needed for my own setup. :lol:

    SmartPSS Lite - annoying red lines?

    FYI for users of the Mac version from Andy's site like me - 1. and 2. don't doesn't apply but 3. does. Go to System > Basic Config > Show IVS Rule checkbox (near the bottom of the page) edit: Above and 2. does. Right click > Smart OSD

    Notes from the Swamp

    I get that. I put out cameras to monitor rodent activity and have found unexpected enjoyment seeing my various four legged neighbors doing their thing in the dark.

    Notes from the Swamp

    So, wait - that cat, that isn't yours, has you trained to respond to it's calls for feeding at 5am? And then it probably goes home for it's owner's feeding for it? So many quips to be made here, that I will abstain. Too easy.;):lol:

    Memory Card Availability and Costs - Wow!

    Jeez, was price hunting again - very disheartening. For the amount I would have to spend, I might as well fire-up another DVR. edit: NVR not DVR

    Memory Card Availability and Costs - Wow!

    I last purchased micro SD cards a couple/few months ago during September through December. I now need several more and have learned that supplies are down and prices are way up. Major suckage. What next?... *sigh Just squawkin' here. :rolleyes: edit: Okay, ignore me. I just learned that SD...

    Drunk Cat

    If the owner knows it has this condition they shouldn't let it out on its own. That cat is totally vulnerable. IMO

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    Last week I finally took my Pro outside for the first time. I just set it on top of a ladder for some testing. My target area has no ambient lighting, other than natural light or from passing cars, so I use a 10w IR, and it is about fifty feet to the road. It didn't take long for me to decide...

    Anybody else having rodents (squirrels, rats, etc.) nesting underhood and/or chewing on wiring?

    I will say that I had mixed results with the bait. Using the cameras, I know there were customers who dined at one of my "restaurants" every night for a week or two. (locked bait stations) The electric traps finally ended that. edit: One rat taunted me every night by eating my stuff and posing...

    New Year's Eve Driver Error

    Great coverage of an incident that could have been much worse. A minor fracture and some landscaping vs. possible death or the car hitting the house instead?:eek:

    Anybody else having rodents (squirrels, rats, etc.) nesting underhood and/or chewing on wiring?

    I have had this problem with pests stealing my insulation from under the hood too. I finally put out a couple of cheapie cams set to IR a couple of months ago to see what was going on at night. What I have viewed has been surprising, informative, interesting and sometimes comical. Then I started...
