  1. I meant moving it as a test to see if it still distorts. Does it coincide with sunset then sunrise? Not the actual time but when light in it's view changes. Does someone beyond you have lights on a timer? I had problems when my town switched to led lamps on the poles, I had to change night settings to daylight. Another problem I had was my new neighbor's Christmas lights would keep my coach lamp from turning on, I put some duct tape and thin plastic near the sensor to block the light from hitting it.


  2. Lavender90, As others have cautioned about drilling in the cold, you could split the siding as the drill is pushing out instead of a neat hole being drilled. Another problem with drilling from the inside is you usually cannot mount anything exactly where the wire pops out. If you push on the siding with your finger you will notice it's relatively loose. Only the outside corners are stiff.


  3. When I was installing analog cameras the lens connectors had several different pin-outs with either a round or square configuration. We'd have to solder a connector to the lens wires that usually were stripped back. We also needed the wiring diagram for the lens as well as the camera to match them up. The panasonic wv-bl204 camera was the easiest because they offered most lens sizes and were pre-wired.

    You could cut the wire and splice the 3 or 4 wires back together in the right pin configuration. Sometimes 2 wires would go to 1 terminal and 1 pin goes unused.


  4. That multiplexer uses coax cable for camera video. The cameras probably have individual 24vac power packs plugged in locally or a large transformer with a terminal strip. The video out signal from the multiplexer ( or any individual camera) could be connected to a USB video capture device that could then be plugged into a laptop or pc. You would need a BNC to composite (RCA) adapter. If you have a Micro Center near you, they should have the cable and the capture device. You could also get a PCIe capture card and put it into some pc and stream the video. Good luck! Most if not all equipment may be salvageable. Failed cameras could be replaced with newer ones easily.


  5. So I recently received a Promaster PMC for work without rear windows. What a pleasure not knowing how fast someone directly behind me is going when I'd like to change lanes! Or if they also want to change into the other lane as well. I had a Hivision DS-2CD2032-I I wasn't using so I mounted it on the roof rack, and temporarily dropped the wires (just reached) through the rear door gasket.

    I rigged two power connectors (easy since they use a standard plug) to the rear 12V outlet and plugged in the camera and an unused Netgear wifi router I had laying around to the lan port on the camera. I also had a spare android phone I had lying around so I installed the ONVIF camera viewing app on it. I Powered up the Netgear and associated the wifi. I Added the camera to the app and was happy as a pig in sh!t cuz it worked! Only problem I'm having is it's a bit laggy, I really want real-time video. I've tried with a faster tablet and 5G wifi but it's not affecting the video enough. I also tried a new TP-LINK G50 router but wifi doesn't seem to be the issue. I lowered the resolution on the camera to 1280x720, adjusted frame rates from 30 to 20 but the problem is after anywhere from 10-30 minutes the video is falling behind. I stop at a traffic light and the video catches up from 1-5 seconds later. I also tried other free apps but they were much worse. Even the HIK ivms4500 app does it only sooner.
