  1. I had this working perfectly (VitaminD/Sighthound, Axis Camera Station) for years then google changed things. Something about less secure apps maybe? How can I get this to work again? Do I need a different email account than google to send pics and notificaitons? Thanks in advance.
  2. Thank you. I recently got this working. It was an issue where the 485 had gotten cut under the taped up area. Once that was fixed worked very nicely. Nice how you can pan etc by clicking on an area of the screen, zoom with the mouse wheel etc.
  3. I am new to PTZ, and could use some advice. I've tried to reset it per the manual, and confirmed per the screen shot attached. I can not get my 241S or 243 to control it, just pans left to right non stop. Any advice appreciated. Hooked up with 4 feet of wire on the 485 to yellow/green (and ground), half duplex terminated.
  4. That's a great camera. Try a proper VMS, there are free versions from Axis or Milestone. I used a synology for a while useless sluggish POS playing back video...

    High cameras are fine for an overview but if someone wears a hat not uncommon you will not get a useful shot.

    Poor night quality

    It may just be that the camera is inexpensive and does not have an IR corrected lens? Anyway looks better with more light, that is a lot of light...

    I tried a Revo once and it sucked at night. Here is a diagram.

  9. Here's what I did: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=29539&p=200838#p200838 Even if you deal with the WDR issue (and the 484 is very good at this, also the sony 593 I think was the model) there is absolutely no substitute for a face level camera.

    Example KT&C S20P4 in intercom speaker

    I didn't, still works fine. There is no way the camera can get wet. The hole is so small water does not get in, there is a gap of course between the enclosure and the house but there is no path for the water to get to the camera.
  11. I know Axis does this it's called corridor view I think. Some of the cameras and encoders also do this.
  12. What I do is use VitaminD for events. You could easily set up a rule to email pics during the time when you are out for lunch. Axis can record with a VMS, or to SD using their free software. One of the nice things about IP cams is they are a lot more flexible with the software and what you can accomplish.
  13. Axis has some nice vandal domes. You can have it send an email or alarm for loss of camera.
  14. I've always gotten a quick response, but have not asked them about cameras they do not support. In some cases I've found cameras that work that are not listed, and they have a few links to mjpeg listings on their site. Usually you can get the string from the camera manufacturer (e.g. Axis Panasonic whatever). You could try it on their demo SW which is free. Have not played around much with non mjpeg on VitaminD.
  15. Somewhat, the bars will make it a little harder perhaps if you are concerned about people outside the gate. Just set up a rule. For absolutely no misses (both night and day, the latter being easier) you may have too wide an area.
