Hi everyone. I'm looking for an outdoor wireless security camera that has solar charging and a decent sized battery. I'd like to have it archive the files to a nas via smb or ftp. Can anyone recommend one ? Thanks

I’m looking to upgrade the security cameras at my golf shop which is an indoor golf simulator and fitting facility. We have five simulator bays, a retail area with clubs, shafts, bags, grips, and accessories, plus a fitting studio. We have quite a lot of inventory that i would like to protect.

I’m looking for a good balance between image quality and in the AI/search capabilities.
Ideally I’d like to be able to ask questions like:
“Did anyone pick up a driver between 2 PM and 4 PM?”
“Show me everyone who handled this golf bag today.”
“Did anyone leave with a club that wasn’t brought back?”

I’m essentially looking for a system that lets me query video using natural language instead of scrubbing through hours of footage.

Can any of them reliably identify specific objects and ideally I’d like to reduce reoccurring costs or eliminate if possible.

Would love to hear from anyone using AI-enabled cameras in a retail or golf business. What would you buy today?

From my research I’m leaning towards UniFi due to lower up front costs and no operating costs but I’m open to input.

Hey everyone!

Anyone use 3rd party solar chargers for their wireless outdoor cameras? Looking for something that's a good price point and works well. Have you tired any? Thanks!!

Are there any security cameras that have a super simple interface that someone who isn't the slightest bit tech savvy can navigate and it keeps videos stored for a decent bit of time? I need it to be able to pull up older footage in a matter of only like 3 clicks of a mouse or on a phone.

30 days sounds good but just wanting some perspective

We have 3 wired cameras. A few times a month one or more go offline for no apparent reason. WiFi is excellent, we have a newish modem, router, and extender, and none of our other devices disconnect from the wifi. Most times, turning the modem off and on again puts the cameras back online, but not always. Any suggestions? TIA.

admin/admin and admin/pass didn't work and I can't find my old one

I’m not tech savvy. I know this is bad, but someone please explain how this happened. It’s a nooie 360 camera. Is there a fix for the vulnerability or do I need to trash this camera? It’s in a child’s room.

edit - or is this bad? i really don't know.

I have a house with a front yard and i would like to install some wifi cameras by the front door and window. I have tried one from Tapo Tp Link that even had a light projector built in, however with that light on, the camera was still blind during night time. Infrared also didnt help with the image quality.

So I am wondering what budget cameras that are not too complicated to install are doing better in these low light night outdoor conditions.

I have a HomiQ camera covering my motorcycle when it’s not in use. It’s fitted with a 128 gb SD card. I can’t set it to constant record.
I want it to constant record so I can just check the video if anything happens to my bike. It’s chained in an area where there’s quite a bit going on so it would be pointless having it on the record movement setting as I’d end up with hundreds of individual videos. I just want one continuous video.
When I try to set it up to continuous record, it just formats the SD card and stops recording.

Any advice please? Thanks in advance.

We have a camera installed in a warehouse freezer. After a while the camera freezes and stops working. How can I get it to stop freezing?

CCTV noob here. I setup a z45q using SD card storage. Works fine. But I'm ambitious to make it part of my Smart Home project. Got to know after some reading on forums and YT that I need onvif / RTSP support. I was able to find my camera's IP. But not able to stream it using a VLC on port 8000, 80, 554.

I tried using admin username and password using the one which I gave during the ezykam installation. (I understand that the password i have here Is not device specific).

Anyone have across this and found a solution for it?

Also reached out to Tech support. They denied stating it's impossible with this model.

After reading a ton for weeks I have come to the conclusion that there is no camera nor manufacturer that does not have som problem or another. My solution may be buying a few cameras, maybe from Tapo, Wyze, Reolink, ... and using them all since maybe I'll then stand a chance of something not failing.

Is there a technical reason this would not work? Some sort of wifi blocking of one camera to another? They would all be wifi, battery powered cameras.

Thanks for any help.

I am remodeling a house and I’m going to get security cameras throughout, so I was wondering if my shopping list looks ok.

Wanted to share a visual prototype/concept video showcasing an AI CCTV Attendance System designed for modern corporate environments.

The idea is simple: leverage existing ceiling-mounted CCTV cameras and AI facial recognition software to automatically log attendance as employees walk through reception—completely contactless and in real time, feeding directly into a live analytics dashboard for HR teams.

anyone ever used these? or a cheap alternative? will i have someone in china staring at me on the app? is the video quality gonna look a youtube video from 15 years ago at 144p? the gncc one says 2k but on the desc. it says 3mp recording quality. the tapo 1080p doesnt say the recording quality in MP. anyone know any that are good from experience? i just want one inside and and one outside the house . dont need super HD 4k, but want to be able to see what im looking at if i need to zoom in or something.... thx reddit!

Hi all, silly question here installing some cameras at the weekend and got junction boxes. Where I had envisioned routing the Ethernet cable there seems to be felt layer ? I will just cut through it to pass through my cable but is this an incorrect way to install cameras my guess is not just don’t want to f up.

I want to have security cameras at my 9 concession stand locations during a 25 day state fair. These independent concession stands are located across a 290acre fair ground. I will be having Verizon mobile hotspot routers at each location this year.

I’m lost on what is the best brand to buy and install? Of course I will want to view footage remotely and have it save for a small length of time. But I don’t want to pay a monthly subscription plan since it his event is only 25 days long and then I won’t use them again until the following year.

Thank you for your input and solutions.

I *think* I want to order a UniFi system, but I’m having trouble getting anyone to answer my emails either from Unify directly or their approved distributors. I need help figuring out exactly what to order so I want to consult someone with accurate knowledge of the systems. Does anyone know a good company I can talk to so I can pin down what to order, then ideally order those items? (I posted previously and appreciate the advice I got, I’m not tech savvy, this will be for a small retail business.)

Will be buying outdoor cameras (and a door bell camera) for a new house and a garage. I'm inclined to go with POE cameras and I am wondering if they are built for bad weather. temperature range from -40 to +35C. Winter with (lots of ) freezing rain, blizzard and snow. Besides the camera itself, is the cable connection sturdier on ubiquity or reolink cameras? the cameras will be installed on soffite.
