A follow-up.

#1. While the camera was advertised as having audio support, that meant I could hook up an external mic and speaker. So, no sound at first. However, they offer a free gift with each purchase and one choice was an outdoor speaker/mic …

Swapping out Time Capsule - lose cameras
Hi Ben,

Hoping to get a bit of your advice on some network issues I'm having. You have been such a great help in the past.

This weekend I was replacing some of the hardware that I have in my setup along with updating my SS. I updated my…

Object identification with SS
This is my #1 request. That and better Home Assistant support if possible.

SS generating errors while view only SS is fine
Hi Ben,

Okay I did some further investigation. I quit the Indigo Server and rebooted the machine, I also disabled the second camera.

Unfortunately the behaviour has not changed. SS on Mac #1 is able to connect once in a while to the Sunba came…

Feature Suggestion
I like the idea of #2. With all the usual issues of outdoor cameras, there is no combination of masking/sensitivity that gives me confidence in motion capture, so I record it all. Even simply having the option to flag points of the continuous captur…

Choose different stream when selecting a certain camera window.
I recently replaced my cameras with newer 5MP models (using ONVIF). The challenge is that I typically run SS in a single column down the left or right side of my screen, where the video thumbnails are quite small. I'm getting no benefit in th…

Should I set up a seperate network
Ben,

Thanks for the response, Let me get this straight, I run two networks. Network #1 is for surfing the net and all the devices and such and then set up network #2 but this network would not touch the internet (or would it) and this would run t…

Cameras consistently lag 10-20 seconds behind while viewing
Issue: End user watches several cameras at her desk using SecuritySpy to connect to the server where SecuritySpy resides and records 12 various branded cameras. Two cameras (#5 and #12) in recent weeks have consistently been delayed from real time 1…

Cisco 6030 PTZ - camera instructions
Camera is working fine at full resolution and 15fps, but I need to specify input number 2 for that to work. Input #1 gives an auth error. I also get frequent motion artifact "smears" with H.264 but I think that's Quicktime-related. …

Outdoor Lights Triggering Motion Detection
I understand the need to keep the interface simple for users who have smaller requirement sets. But I also have seen Security Spy thrown out because it can't move from "simple" to "complex" which has exactly (or worse than)…

Need POE Primer
I'm looking to buy a couple of new cameras as an upgrade to my early Panasonic consumer models. Each of these cams came with their own AC adapter. The question is how to approach Power Over Ethernet. POE itself appears to be a good thing, bu…

Axis 2191 audio (G.721) question
No luck on the logfile - I reset it, and restarted SS. It's empty other than complaining about an unrelated camera it can't connect to (powered down.) The Camera Status window shows that there is an audio device connected to one of the fo…

Announcing CaptureSync: multi-camera recording software
Quick insights into CaptureSync: it's a good start, but needs a bit of polishing as any first release would need.

1) Again, having layout options and picture-in-picture would make this more useful. There is no way to order or lay out the cam…

Camera List
Thanks, Ben. I'm looking for 3 indoor cameras and wonder if your number 1 recommendation, Dahua Technology IPC-HFW2100, remains #1.

When building a system it helps to anchor on one main component. For me, that's Security Spy - the choi…
