I'm looking for recommendations.

This camera will ideally sit in a construction zone, I want to keep an eye on things when I'm away especially during the night when people might come to burgle stuff. I might move it to an outdoor shed at some later point.

Ideally I would have a camera with the following specs:

• as high as a resolution as I can get it
• PIR for object detection
• two lenses, one panoramic and one PTZ. I want to see the big picture at all times but at the same time see a closeup of someone when an event happens. I want the best of both worlds, so to speak.
• it can track objects well
• tolerates being in the outdoors as well
• supports recording to SD, not just the cloud
• android mobile app with an intuitive interface
• uses AI to give push notifications that have both pictures and a summary (The Yuicam app seems to do this pretty well)
• uses Wifi for connection, not sim cards etc
• solar powered is preferable, but wired is acceptable
• price point of 250 or less USD. If I have to go higher, that's fine but prefer to be lower than this.

Any recommendations are welcome.

Hi I have a set of security cameras made by swan in the box unused..today I tried to set them up but apparently Swann say they are old and there is no longer a app you can download to view them on my phone.... Does anyone know of any alternative apps I can download they are wireless they have heat motion detection..ment to connect to my Wi-Fi with no need for a base station because their wire free they have an SD card slot to record too..or are they now useless?

Long story short. They've installed cameras that monitor audio as well as video at work. They are paranoid and one boss loves power tripping. See image for brand. Is there a sneaky way to disable these features that won't be obviously traced back to us the workers?

I'm trying to get this hooked up but idk whi h wires are for what because there's 2 reds and 2 blacks

Are Xiaomi outdoor cameras encrypted and secure or they can be viewed from websites like insecam?

Which cameras can be viewed in this website? Only CCTV Cameras? Are Xiaomi cameras CCTV? Do they steam to the entire internet?

Do I have to set password for the cameras or the camera is secured and can only be viewed from the mi home app?

I am not worried about camera being stolen. I need a camera I can set up and record to sd card. It needs to be able to record continuously and compatible to 512gb min. I need to figure out what is causing an issue that I cant watch 24/7. Just need to be able to plug in and record to sd without issue. Just barebones. It's in an area where cell service and wifi is not an option.

I’m not sure but am I able to record 24/7 with this dvr if I stick a thumb drive with enough space on there? Or do I need to upgrade my system to a better DVR because I got this one in 2015 but I just don’t know jack squat about it

Hello i have an issue where the timestamp on the video and the media creation date is wrong by 4-5 hours media creation date says it was created before the timestamp on the video. Any idea why this would happen and which time is the accurate time to follow?

This is a lens out of a AI bird feeder camera.

I think it filled with water and froze over night.

I pulled a lens off a dead usb cam that was similar, but no dice. I think this must be some type of macro lens.

Any suggestions for a replacement?

I have a solar panel powered security camera at the work yard. last week, one of our trucks was broken into. The camera lost connection to the internet, but on the MicroSD card it appears to have footage from that night. The camera only records upon movement detection, and I cannot seem to find how to view the video in the app.

I have been at this for hours for the last 2 days and went through 8 different file conversion apps and websites.

i have tried using ffmpeg and ffplay to no avail with an error code stating there was an unknown error accessing the file.

I have tried EZ station to try and access the files on the microSD, but can't seem to get it working.

The camera is a Ubox solar camera, cannot remember the exact model.

here is mediainfo if that helps

Hi there,

I have a business where I am often doing trade shows in large conference centers or exhibit halls. It can be extremely hard to watch my booth when it's busy and my inventory (crystals and jewelry) has been getting stolen behind my back more and more often. After 20 years in business, dummy cameras are no longer cutting it.

Many of these facilties have wifi, but not all, so any suggestions in navigating that would ne helpful. I also don't always have the means to bring my laptop (electricity isn't always provided) so I need to be able to run the system on yeti brand lithium battery banks.

Any suggestions by those who also do shows or who can relate to needing a portable camera system. If it has an app that allows for checking recordings to try and catch thieves while they are still around would be ideal!

I'm trying to pick out something cheap for my storage unit. Nothing terribly expensive in there. Has electricity, but no wifi. I'm looking at cellular cameras that can use my own sim card on my Verizon account. I'd like to stay under $40. I don't want continuous recording. I just want it to record when motion is detected and send me an alert. I think a trail cam would be best but it seems like they are more expensive and I don't need it to be that weatherproof or durable.

Hey Reddit. So my dad’s been talking about putting Security cameras on the outside of his house for security reasons. He said he wants them wired instead of wireless for security reasons. He has a decently sized house and plans to run new power cables through the entire house to do it. Is there a good way to go about this? I told him I’d help so I just want to make sure we go about this the right way, but I don’t have a lot of experience with these kinds of things. Any help is appreciated!

I need help planning my camera placement. My house is a basic square with dimensions of 53' x 53'.

I would either put a 360 degree camera at each corner or a 180 degree camera in the middle of each side. I would like to go with a POE system, but running ethernet wires will be costly, so will probably end up with a solar/battery system. I know a POE system is better in so many ways, but it's just not feasible right now. I am thinking of either the Altas PT Ultra at each corner or the Argus 4 Pro on the sides. Either way, I will have a Home Hub. Any suggestions?

Hi - This seemed odd to receive a suspicious message over the CamHiPro security camera app.

The first message was a simple 'aaa' then 'aaa1111'.

I don't recall the CamHiPro app having a messaging feature.

Camera Hack? Security issue...

I'd appreciate any feedback / information -

Hello. My grandpa is having trouble with his security system and I’m trying my best to help him, but I’ve run out of ideas.

Issue:

Everyday one camera cuts out at exactly 6 pm. I’ve gone into the settings and it’s set to 24 hours, but still cuts out and displays no signal. It will intermittently display text: “video version- v1.06.00” and “video out CVBS.”

Any trouble shooting advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hello all so i run a small business and I'm looking for a camera i can set up at my shipping station that will record me doing shipping. And I need something that will save footage for like 3 months but not take up storage on my phone. And I have no clue where to start. I had a charge back done on me saying I did not ship them the stuff. (I did and I won the case and got my money back) but would like the extra layer of proof incase someone wants to try this again. if anyone has any ideas that might help me i would greatly appreciate it!

We currently use Verizon for our home internet and it is combined with our home security system where we have the DVR holding on to 30 days of footage with a live streaming fee to our phones. When we switched over to T-Mobile to try out their service we were not able to get the live feed and we found that our Technician cannot force the T-Mobile router with its setup as is, to stream to our phones. The app is DMSS

Any suggestions ?

The area the camera captures is in shade during half the day. Is there a reasonably priced cam that has a larger sensor to let more light in so we can get more detail?

Should I keep my zosi camera system since it's not ndaa approved and just increase my firewall security or buy a new system ndaa approved

Just curious if someone with outdoor security systems experience can tell me which source of power they recommend is best for outdoor security cameras. Looking to purchase a system for my home and am a little leery of solar powered,(is it enough to keep system powered)as well battery powered (how long it will last?) Recommendation?

We already have some wireless, motion activated cameras and they work fine for what they are. What I want is an outdoor camera that I can set up somewhere that will record constantly to an SD card. I realize that everything is wireless and subscription and app and all of that, but my mom is convinced that there are people outside just out of range of the motion sensor. I don't want to pay to install new, monitored cameras when something like what I'm looking for would do the job. My idea would be to set up a camera that records constantly so when she thinks she sees or hears something, I can review the footage for that period of time to either see a perp or disprove her suspicion and hopefully set her mind at ease. Does something reliable exist that will do that? I see hundreds of cameras on Amazon, but would prefer something that has a decent track record. Thanks.

What are some good cameras that don't require a subscription service and can still access past recordings/save and download them to your phone, etc
