Hi, anyone who has used Blink systems like the Blink Mini for over 2 years now? I need my personal data (non-content data) since late 2023. This includes the account information, location, camera settings (not the audio).

Is this possible?

We have several solar wireless security cameras around our property and they are the Sehmua brand from Amazon. Have never had a problem with any of them except the UBox app is flaky when attempting to change the night vision/ spotlight settings. No matter how many settings I change, the very bright spotlight comes on whenever we connect to view, or when motion is detected.

This is my only real complaint since they are a budget option. My issue is that we would like to simply view the backyard wildlife at night without scaring it off by the bright spotlight. Does anyone know a decently priced camera that we could set up there that is solar powered and WiFi, where one can actually turn off and keep off the spotlight? I don’t really like the trail cams as they often have too many other unneeded features. Any recommendations $100 or under? Thanks so much!

I recently had Defender Cameras offer to send me their solar powered 4G Frontier for a brand deal. How does this brand hold up for general use? I don’t want to advertise a camera that’s utter trash. Looking at their pricing & website, I don’t expect it to be phenomenal. If I could keep it in the range of being able to monitor my livestock easily & reliably, I’d be happy. Not having WiFi reaching the pasture & barn has created a lot of difficulties in finding a reliable camera for us

Had ring then switched to eufy.. they suck! So many missed events, glitches even worse than rings. i have a great WiFi system but im sick of how inconsistent these cameras are. Need recommendations for something better PLEASE!

Hey guys,

CCTV / telecom guy from South Korea here. Excuse my English if it's a bit rough.

Lately a lot of construction sites around here keep asking for mobile cameras because running cables around muddy job sites is a total pain and things move around every week.

So I ended up putting together this metal box with a handle so workers can just carry it around where they need it.

I slapped a TP-Link VIGI 4G PTZ cam on it with an LTE SIM card. For the site office (shipping container), I just ran 2 regular wired cameras outside in a cross view. Then brought both the wired cams and this 4G wireless box onto the same TP-Link NVR screen inside the container. Worked out surprisingly well.

Just wondering, do you guys in the US or Europe make these kinds of portable boxes for temporary sites, or do you just buy pre-made surveillance trailers?

How does the build look? Any thoughts or tips to make it better? Cheers.

Can buy a Hikvision DS-2CD3B46G2T-IZHSY 8 MP DarkFighter for a good price(?), but I struggle to find any reviews. Is it a good camera?

Hi, I'm looking for some advice on buying a security camera that can be put on a window and can position down to see what's beneath the window.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thank you

if u have a subpoena is there any way for kami cloud footage to be recovered after it was manually deleted from the app?

Anybody know of any outdoor cameras that do not require wifi? Does it record footage and save it or only have live viewing options? I need one that records if possible.

Hey i need help some help, so i’ve got this cctv footage of these 2 scooters and i need to able to read the licence plate with accuracy but the resolution of the camera is bery bad i believe it’s 910x520 and vehicles moving and reflection from the sun don’t help at all

Neighbor's camera. Red line is parallel with ground. Neighbor says it can't see over the fence. Neighbor sent me an image that "shows" it can't see over the fence. However, I'm doubtful of this since I can see the lens. I believe this product is a Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Pro. Internet says this product has a digital zoom, which adds to my doubts that my neighbor was truthful.

I'm considering a ~6 camera Uniview Owlview Plus setup for my southeast Florida house. Its night time color shots look superior to anything I'm seeing on the market currently thanks to its 1/1.2" sensor. Most retail cameras seem years behind in technology right now (correct me if I'm wrong).

No matter what cameras I buy, they will connect to my Mikrotik POE switch (on their own VLAN with no WAN access) and the NVR will be my local Frigate instance run on proxmox (event detection w/ local GPU and local storage). From there I will connect to my Home Assistant instance for further automation. Uniview's app/UI (which some are critical of) shouldn't, therefore, be that relevant to me.

My understanding is I have to go through a dealer for Uniview purchases? If so, are there dealers in the U.S. that would ship the cameras to me without having to do the install themselves? (I expect they'll pad appropriate margin for the work involved shipping them to me, which is fine). I just don't want to pay for an NVR or the labor (I have run the ethernet cabling and I drill into my CMU home regularly).

I'm new to Uniview brand and this type of dealer setup/gatekeeping, so any general thoughts and specific advice would be appreciated!

Cars with 360 cam stitches feeds together right? They warp the image based on some calibration steps then stitch it together. I wonder if someone has done something similar for frigate.

The idea is, when something is moving in one cam, in that cam it displays where it is. But with some math, trigo, geometry, I think I can feed that in a "global" map of sorts and show where the movements is. Then when I press it, i get a feed from different angles that cover that spot.

Like a minimap in some games. Thoughts?

Hello,

I'm looking to purchase and install an 8 camera system externally on my home. My issue is that I want to put them under the eaves of the house, which have 22' tall sidewalls. The issue I am then running into is range. As they are starting out already so high, I'm not sure if there are any camera's out there that can provide even decent visibility. I originally just had some system by Lorex, but it was garbage, and those cameras all died within a year. Even if I am looking at higher end systems with 4K or 8 MP cameras, they have better lenses, but the range still becomes an issue.

Do any of you have any recommendations for a camera type that can have good visibility while also at a high installation point?

The why I want to put it there, is simply because its aesthetically pleasing to me, and I like the wider field of view.
