brcarls 0 Posted August 7, 2013 I bought an ACTi E33 but have found that the motion detection on it is just a dumb pixel count and is useless in my installation. When it is adjusted so that it can detect a human in a tightly restricted motion detection window, I still get dozens of false positives a day from shadows, light levels adjusting, etc. The answer is probably a PIR, but this camera does not have an input for a PIR. It can be triggered by another device hitting it's URL though. So my question is what is the easiest/lowest cost way to get a PIR onto my network that can send an URL to the E33? A low res camera maybe? Any suggestions if this is the way to go? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prd 0 Posted August 8, 2013 if the camera has an alarm input, you can use a generic PIR sensor... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brcarls 0 Posted August 9, 2013 It does not have any inputs which is the issue. I was hoping to be able to trigger it with an url command from a pir somehow... Any 5mp cam with I/o costs over double the e33. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prd 0 Posted August 9, 2013 never heard of stand alone network pir sensor but risco has some ip modules that might help you, although they can just send email! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
