| Posted: 06 Nov 2020 07:07 PM PST Hi, I am trying to setup a system for my food truck. We recently got broken into and are trying to make it as secure as possible. I am looking for a motion detector that texts or calls me on detection. As well as a good floodlight camera that runs off of battery. Thanks [link] [comments] |
| Upgrade from Amcrest IP3M-943B outdoor camera to Amcrest UltraHD 4K (8MP) POE camera Posted: 06 Nov 2020 12:51 PM PST Coming from a 3MP wifi camera, this 8MB (4K) POE camera brings in huge improvement both on the connectivity and quality of the image. I was relying on wifi with my old setup, and it is prone to connection issue, so I bite he bullet and change everything to POE, which it doesn't only give solid connection without any problem, plus it's cleaner from my setup as I don't have to put in a power adapter near my camera. As you can see from my setup, it's being mounted outdoor on a diy metal junction box, where the cat6 cable is being passed through metal conduit. The only additional setup I need to put in is a poe switch, which is a no brainer to setup. Including the camera to my existing blue iris setup is smooth without any problem. Picture quality is an upgrade for sure, especially I'm having it in my garage area on the alley, the increased resolution allows me to see license plates from any cars easily, and at night time the picture quality is totally usable (I'll add picture soon). The camera enclosure also gives a modern feeling with streamline design. One thing that I encounter as a small issue is the camera mount, which my old IP3M-943B mounts with 3 screws, which this 4k poe camera mounts on 4 screws. So I just had to drill new set of holes on my junction box, but no big deal. I also notice the amcrest chrome extension no longer works, but may be it applies to both the 3MP wifi and this new 8MP POE camera. In any case, I'd totally recommend this camera for those who wants to monitor your home outdoor with high resolution footage. PS. for some reason I can't upload pictures... [link] [comments] |
| Axis m1013 camera with Ivideon server and ONVIF Posted: 06 Nov 2020 10:41 PM PST Hey all. I have an axis m1013 network camera ghat I'm just messing with right now, to get used to up cameras I guess. I'm trying to record video to my computer, using Ivideon. Now that sort of works, but best I can tell it won't write the recordings to a separate disk (I'm just trying with a usb flash drive, which is sort of what I'd like to use), but it just says it's not writeable when I go to start it. Are there any fixes for this? The computer I want to have running Ivideon server, and recording the video, is a Lenovo thinkcentre m700 tiny. Just because it's really small, which is what I need in this case. The way I want to have my surveillance drives setup, is either with a pcie to sata, or usb 3 to sata converters. Is this feasible?

| Inexpensive Kerberos.io compatible POE camera? Posted: 06 Nov 2020 03:27 PM PST Need recommendations for a camera that will work with kerberos.io. Cheap as possible... I can upgrade them later, but don't have the budget right now. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Nov 2020 03:57 PM PST Really like Ring's Wifi & solar powered cameras expect this one flaw: Always-on high-speed internet connection. What if somebody simply cuts my internet cable outside the house? Is that it? Without internet all the cameras become useless, right? Does anybody know of a system with completely wireless & solar powered cameras that record to NVR (Network Video Recorder) and, perhaps, to the cloud? Or can anybody suggest how to protect the internet cable hanging outside the house? [link] [comments] |
| Can Onvif and supplied app be used at same time? Posted: 06 Nov 2020 05:01 PM PST Hello, I'm new to security cameras and need a bit of help understating them. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Nov 2020 07:51 AM PST Hey everyone been reading on here for awhile now, I just bought a new to me house that has a old dsc system I want to replace it with a iq 2+. Iv seen a few on eBay and was wondering if anyone has had any luck getting them all reset and then working with surety? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Nov 2020 03:41 AM PST Simple: Looking for an independent sensor that can Alert us if someone tries to open the door; kicks it... (or tries to otherwise "force" it physically). Not looking for a subscription "do it all" Alarms system but just a simple front door Sensor that has capability to Alarm with 120 decibels. Thanks Edit: Ideally, something with a remote that can be activated, turned ON/OFF by remote. Otherwise, the owner will set it off every time he/she enters (or leaves) the home. [link] [comments] |
| Advice on mounting camera to chain link fence post Posted: 06 Nov 2020 02:11 PM PST My home is surrounded by a chain link fence. The 2⅜" diameter corner posts extend several inches above the top of the fence itself, and I'd like to mount a couple of my Swann NHD-887 4K bullet cameras onto the posts to point back toward the house. I've found a couple of pole mounts online, but they don't look very weatherproof due to the quantity of differently spaced holes for mounting different hardware. Can anyone recommend an inexpensive weatherproof method to mount cams to the posts? [link] [comments] |
| Recommendations for solar powered,outdoor, wifi cameras please. Posted: 06 Nov 2020 09:07 AM PST Context: Location is "out in the country" on 10+ acres. I already have a good backbone wifi network available that covers most of the property. I want to add some cameras in a few locations that are capable of alerting me to "intrusion", specifically feral hogs - they're both rampant and destructive. So the cameras themselves must be: * wifi connectable * self/solar powered - prefer not to have to mess with recharging batteries * outdoor/reasonably weatherproof * capable of generating alerts to a phone app and/or a pc I've already tried one brand, but boxed it up for return within an hour of receiving it due to (at least) 3 functions that did not work at all, so I figured I'd check to see if others have had success in similar applications. Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| Bluetooth capable Z-wave smartlock? Posted: 06 Nov 2020 12:33 PM PST So I'm looking for deadbolt keypad locks and so far, it seems that I can't find a lock that does the following:
Does such a lock exist? I looked through the Yale and Schlage brands and didn't find anything. [link] [comments] |
| Help with security camera placement Posted: 06 Nov 2020 06:29 AM PST I want to have a video doorbell for a start, but where else would you position cameras on the front and rear of this house? https://i.imgur.com/gFwVhVY.jpg https://i.imgur.com/D1iWHMk.jpg Thanks [link] [comments] |
| Too Many Options.. FTHB Just Needing A Basic Home Alarm System (& Remove 2 Existing Home Systems) Posted: 06 Nov 2020 11:16 AM PST FTHB in a very safe secluded HOA neighborhood, just looking for a basic home security system and frankly am overwhelmed at the level and specificity of some of the options I've been reading through this topic. In particular - I really just want
I have no need for a billion cameras and sensors in a super complicated set up. The home currently has vivint, which has that jumbo panel on the wall, and 3 more transformer looking white boxes on various walls that I just want to get rid of completely. Whatever system I go with, if I get professionally installed, it'd be straight forward for them to either remove it completely and/or use existing wires for the new system? Appreciate all the insight you guys have [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Nov 2020 10:01 AM PST Would anyone with access to the Compass software be willing to program my Vista 20p remotely over phone line? I have access to a POTS traditional phone line and have 24 Zones that I want programmed. Would be willing to pay $50 for the service. [link] [comments] |
| Suggestions for smart outdoor cameras with offline fallback Posted: 05 Nov 2020 01:26 PM PST Hi, I'm looking for an outdoor camera system for my home. I think I've decided I would prefer something wired as opposed to wireless. I really like the Nest outdoor cameras for their ease of use, fast notifications, smart features (person detection, facial recognition, etc.), and quality app (we have both Androids and iPhones in my home). However, I don't like that it's solely reliant on the cloud. If my network or Google's servers go offline, I just have a hole in my recordings, which sort of defeats the purpose of 24/7 recording. Essentially, what I'm hoping to find is another outdoor camera system that either records locally to an NVR or is cloud-based, but has local fallback, such as a SD card. Ideally, if the network were to be offline for a period of time, it would continue recording and upload the local recordings once the network connection is restored. It's also very important to me that this is a reliable system that's easy to use (I am technical, but others in my houseshold are not as patient), and I'd like to see some "smart" features, such as motion/person/package detection. Additionally, I need something that can issue mobile alerts with very little delay - one of the frustrations of one of my older cameras was I'd get a motion alert as much as a few minutes after the fact. By the time I opened the alert and the camera feed loaded, the person would be long gone. Additionally, z-wave or zigbee would be a nice option to have. Or, at least, some kind of assurance that my hardware isn't useless if a company or cloud service goes out of business. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
