I have a camera that periodically will refuse to connect. I have found that sometimes I need to cycle power on the camera and other times I have to cycle power on the router (Wifi or hardwire). I have yet to figure out why.

What do you intend to do with the story when you have it completed? Post it in a blog and point to it in a post here? Post it here in some thread? Publish it? How? Is it to be just a list of cameras and comments about its usefulness as a surveillance camera? i.e.: a reference list? Or is it to be a ...

There have been some complaints that SH rules fail to work properly when SH is run in a Virtual Machine. See the thread: topic13337

Yes, ALL video is saved to disk constantly. ANY motion will cause an entry in the database as motion detected, regardless of where it occurs or if it fits a rule. When in "Search" mode, to see clips where motion occurred only in a rule specified region, select the rule that describes the r...

Your continuity tester probably only tests for low resistance from one end to the other. This only indicates that DC (Direct Current) power can pass from one end to the other, but at the frequencies of the signals of a network there are things that can attenuate the AC (Alternating current) signal t...

How much do you get paid to post SPAM?

I don't know what you mean by "pumping", but as long as the camera is "ON" in Sighthound the video is being recorded to the storage device... the only thing that breaks that raw continuous video into clips is a rule that writes the start time of the trigger into the database. (Th...
