I will throw you my address where to send those cameras too

1) I find Sighthound allows a much more sensitive and accurate motion alerting that BI does. Honestly I have not re-visited BI doing that for me in about a year or so though. 2) i5 2400 (3.1GHz), 4GB RAM, Win 7 Pro 32-Bit, Toshiba 7200 RPM Drive. Nothing too special. Average CPU load is 14% and 44% Mem usage. 3) Two at 1280x720 and one at 320x240

Just got back in town and have not had a chance to look at it. Might rip it apart tonight to take a look. Sent an email to Empire but no reply yet.

I used VitaminD and switched to Sighthound for the upgrade. It does use a decent amount og CPU usage, but I have a dedicated box for Sighthound+BlueIris and it is not an issue. Their support is awesome as well. I sent a couple emails and they were quick, friendly, and helpful. The web console though is rather slow, to a point I dont even use it. They do have an Android app that is so-so. I had too many false positives with other motion alerting. 100s an hour. Sighthound fixed that issue for me.

Razer: Will check that. Buell: This one has the hood painted black already.

I have installed ~7 of these and none of them had this bad of a halo. Any tips? Installed under an eve, the sun shield extended ~1". It replaced a Dahua IPC-HFW2100 with the halo issue I have seen on all of them so far. Kind of disappointed in replacing it.

This is my first run @ the EPC cameras. Installed 4 ESC-IPC1. Web view works great, but the only Android/iPhone app that works (vMEye) dosnt seem to play nice. I found vMEyePro is a bit more stable that standard vMEye. My problem is I have two cameras that do not work consistently on mobile. It either does not connect, or when it does the image is degraded (RGB squares everywhere, only shows the moving pieces of the frame, etc). Any thoughts?

This is a dome camera, correct? And no IR?

Is there a link to the ESC-1 to Empire Security? I cant seem to find it.

Running a Dahua camera w/ PSS. I have to break each video file into 1 hour chunks. I just had an event take place in the last ten minutes I want to watch. Unfortunately w/ PSS I can only get the last completed recording. Am I just missing it?

Have not noticed a lag in the other PCs, but they are not as close to my gate which is what I monitor. The computer running the VLC stream is a C2D but I can't imagine it pegging out the CPU? I guess it is possible, but unlikely. I will do some more testing once the rain lets up and see if I can run through some scenarios. Your VLC stream, was it the primary or secondary?

Yes, I am not interested in spending another $20 for something. Thanks for the links, but I have other priorities in regards to spending.

The Bahama Security ones says downloads only for premium members only.

Easy for my wife to use on the HTPC. She just has to simply double click a shortcut and boom, it is up.

Is there criteria for 'certain conditions'? Camera is on the same switch as the computer viewing, connection is wired.
