USB has a limit of 5 meters (16-ft.,5-in.) but you can get more than that in various ways. Most USB cameras come with a 6-ft cable. To get to the "Drive" camera in the window in the wall next to the computer, I have it on a 6-ft USB extension cable (plug on one end, socket on the other) th...

This is certainly drifting from your original question, but since you asked here, I'll respond here. Presently my Surveillance system consists of: A tower PC to better distribute and dissipate heat. It is an HP P7-1010, AMT Athlon ™ II X4 645 processor (quad core) 3.1 GHz, with 6GB of memory and a t...

There is no "automatic" way that I know of. As a "one-time, labor of love" project, it could be done manually, but it would not be something I'd be willing to do often! You would have to export clips from the program often enough that you don't lose data because it got deleted be...

I bet you have narrowed the SH window too much. They will come back if you widen the window. I think the 'Speed' buttons (x1, x2, etc.) "disappear" first when changing the window size. Also, there is a "click and drag" area between the "list" and the "view" wh...

Maybe how I understand the system will help you (I don't guarantee this is how things are done, but it "works" for me in my getting my fingers dirty fiddling in the system). I consider that each camera's data is written continuously to the harddrive in its own Daily directory. The data is ...

Just a silly question from a "non-Apple" type guy... How do you get 306.4% out of a CPU? I agree that seems a tad excessive for any program, and I realize that professional athletes often claim to give 110% of their effort in a game, but I just cannot wrap my PC mind around it. I have writ...

I'd suggest that you write a program that will emulate an IP camera with the pre-existing video files as the "viewed scene". Run that program in another computer on the local network and feed the video files to SightHound as if they are coming from an IP cam. There is still the problem tha...

As a satisfied user of SightHound let me take your points one at a time and comment on them. Size Detection The program does have the ability to set a lower limit of the size of an “area” that is “moving”. It is set as a number of Pixels in height. This works well in scenes where the depth of the vi...

A couple of comments from another happy user about the wish list... Item one can be simulated by using the "%windir%\system32\magnify.exe" program in Windows. (Dunno if MACs have such a program, but I bet there is probably one available somewhere.) The only problems with this are: 1) it ta...

Consternations! Sorry for the consecutive questions that might be useless if the 1st one produces a negative result... Troubleshooting via long-distance is frustrating sometimes. I don't know your computer expertise and I may suggest things that you have already tried and proved to be innocent of th...
