Lawsuit in 3...2...1

They had the nerve to call people corrupt because they won't ban guns?! Holy cow don't even get me started on corrupt politics.

Burning all that ammo makes me wanna cry

Welcome! Make yourself at home.

Tell us how you really feel :)

Ok so this thing is fast! I tried pulling the plug as soon as I could grab it and it still beat me. It managed to upload every time before I could get to it. I thought I'd have to give it a little head start but as you can see from the pics it managed to take one even as the door was opening. This is with the sensitivity set at 8 out of 10. Any higher was catching the light changing from me approaching the safe. I decided to time it and I've attached a couple shots.

Tricksy little Hobbits.

I did get a response from customer service about the time interval of the camera. I was told it always takes five pictures no matter the interval you set. So if you set it to 1sec it will take five pics every 1sec (talk about eating up data) or up to five pics every minute. I will try to test out it's reaction time with various scenarios and post back here.

The enclosure idea is something I might pursue as well. I do know that these aren't outdoor by any means but seem like they would hold up well if you could find a way to keep the moisture out. I would also contact them directly and ask if they have any models that would be better suited for outdoors. They do have more than just this one on their website.

Along with thousands of rounds of ammunition. :wacko:

This might be a good experiment for me to try. I'll try some different stuff and get back to ya. I'll just remember to put some clothes on this time! :)

Yep. The instructions make it very clear to enable port authentication and use a good wifi password. That and I don't broadcast my networks SSID as well as using some other security tricks so I'm not too worried.

Im still playing around with it. Right now I have it set to take a picture every five seconds and i get six picture in my inbox in well under a minute. It can go as long as one pic per minute or as short as one per second so Im still not sure how many it waits to take before it emails you. Such as six shots in six minutes until it emails or what. I will play around with it more though. It can also be set to record video and audio and upload to an external FTP site if you have one.

We'll keep the light on for ya!

Only software you need is downloaded from the next step website. It helps you find the cameras ip address. Set up in short is, plug in camera to router, get its ip address, lock it into router, click use camera wirelessly, unplug camera, put it where you want, type in its ip address in your browser window, login with the username and password you chose, and thats it! They include an instruction manual in plain english that details every step of the process, even setting up the smart phone apps. I use foscam pro on my iphone and you just type the local ip address and public ip addresses into the corresponding fields and you're done. The app gives you full control over recording and rotating the camera. You hold down the microphone button to speak through the camera. I think I traumatized my dog last night playing around with this. :)

Remotely. The instructions take you through how to set up a public IP as well as set the camera up on your local network. Now the refresh rate is faster on your local network, which is to be expected, but viewing remotely has maybe a two second delay which is more than usable for me. And that's been remotely viewing it over a cellular connection. I haven't gotten to a PC outside my home network to try out the browser view yet. My work's firewall won't let me view it here. :(

No problem! This is why i also went with this system because I can add cameras later and use them for other things. And I forgot to mention that each camera comes with a wall mount and that each camera has an audio in and out port for larger speakers as well as an external antenna port for adding things like an amplified or directional antenna. Or if you want to hardwire it, it also has an ethernet port.

My wife and I started looking at internet enabled baby monitors a little bit ago and I came across the NextstepIP Pro. For anyone looking for a wireless, internet enabled security camera I would highly recommend this camera from http://www.nextstepbabymonitors.com/video-baby-monitors/NextStepIP-PRO.htm Yeah yeah I know, baby monitor, but this has the potential to be used for so much more. The camera itself is just a panable IP and Wifi network camera that can be controlled through your browser or various Android and IOS apps. I think the thing that sets this one apart is the ease of setup and their customer service. I emailed them a question this morning at 9:08am and had a response by 9:10am! The camera can be remotely controlled through the app or browser window and supports two way audio and recording. It will also email you snapshots of deteced motion if you want. I know these feature aren't unique to this camera and each camera is around $150, depending on how many you order together, but I just can't rave enough about how easy it was to set up and how well it works.Plus, I can just unplug it from power and take it to another room if the little one wants to play in there and can also add I think up to 24 other cameras if I ever wanted to. If you have any specific questions that the website doesn't answer just PM me. I can also text some pics of it and some video I took of how easy it is to control from the app. I just figured I'd share in case anyone was in the market. PS - One more thing. If you play around with the email on motion detected feature, don't forget to either turn it off or set the scheduler. Otherwise you'll end up with around 40 emails in your inbox the next morning with pictures of you watching TV in your underwear. Just a heads up. My network administrator will never be able to erase that from his memory. :) Update - Just added some pics of the response time on the second page.

Man I'm glad you said something. I totally forgot to set my Dvr! Thanks!

Welcome to TGO!

Mine is in my avatar as well. Jasper the three year old Weimaraner. The pic is from his first birthday party. He's a big goofball.

Tough crowd

Liked the part where he cried, "Just stop shooting me!" She should have responded with, " Well, just stop moving then." Good for her.

Look at those insults fly! Whew!
