    What bird is that in the #3 photo? Don’t have anything with that kind of coloring in NJ.

    Video from clients house hit by tornado last week

    Look on the upper right side of the screen, near the gutter. Most likely aluminum trim coil. Starts out nice, looks like it was blasted by a shotgun by the end. Imagine all that small debris flying around, what it would do to a human.

    The vibratory plow "puller" is basically a knife blade with a sling attached for holding pipe or wire. Lower blade into ground, vibrate the blade, and drive slow. Pipe gets dragged underground behind the blade. Damage to ground is really dependent on soil conditions and pulling depth. Roots are...

    Dual NIC setup on your Blue Iris Machine

    This one works just fine for me, I don’t have 8 cams running off it yet but but the 4 I do have running work just fine with the BI machine plugged into the uplink port. You also get some sfp. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09DRWY7X2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    Is there a thread where you talk about the newer cams and not needing the extra IR? Link? I'll be setting up LPR soon and just want to read what some of you guys are doing.

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    I also have the illuminar unit talked about here. That one says DC12 volt or AC 24 volt input. I have a butt load of 24 volt Ac transformers. Has anyone tried the tendelux unit on 24 volt ac? Will it just not work or will it brick the D110? @Parley and @StevenFromTexas What voltage are you...

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    I just re-read the product description - Input voltage 12 to 24 volts DC. I purchased 2 of the D110 in the past 2 weeks, noticed both have 24 volt wall warts although the directions say confirm 12 volt power supply. Was hoping they were not overdriving the diodes to gain some short term...

    Ok thanks for that -- I'm learning I don't have enough SFP ports so that option is out. What does 2 strand, 4 strand 6 strand mean for the multimode stuff? How many strands are needed for multimode? And is a pulling eye necessary for a 4" conduit pull?

    I hate buying from amazon anyway -- I'll probably pass on that fiber Do you see the right transceivers on the Ubiquiti website? I'd buy it all from there if I could find it. Guess I could send an email and see if they reply.

    @hydrau1 -- Something I haven't seen mentioned in this thread -- Snow. The 4K-t is gonna need a lot of playing with the exposure with your changing scenes. I do not believe there is an iris in this cam. I find mine over or under exposed a lot with changing lighting during the day. Clouds...

    I guess I’ve been looking up the wrong stuff - could have sworn I have seen custom length cables for under $40.

    I don’t even need to dig a trench, can pull it with vibratory plow. Thing is the cost of the pvc conduit will be greater than the cost of fiber - I think. And fiber would probably be better.

    I searched briefly last night for the loose cable - didn’t come up with anything either, that’s why I asked. Maybe I will go fiber, my switch has the right port, would just need the transceivers. I’m sure I can find some reasonably priced outdoor cable. I’ll get an exact measurement today.

    I'm certainly not against running fiber optic. Where is a good place to buy a loose tube cable? I'm not sure of the exact measurement but gonna be close to 200 feet.

    Yes the 4” conduit has cable for 100 amps of power in it. I did this 20 years ago. There is aluminum wire in the conduit and it is not the proper wire for conduit. Use what you have. I had a partial spool of wire, leftover on a job site. Anyway, this isn’t about what wire is in the conduit. I...

    Cat6, Fiber optics, or wireless bridge to shed

    Cost is a concern but not really the deciding factor. The best, most reliable stream from the cameras is what I’m after. Are there issues with interference with running the cat 6 in the same conduit as the power? Mostly only thing running regularly is a big led light on the shed.

    Cat6, Fiber optics, or wireless bridge to shed

    So I’ve read myself into another decision that I didn’t know I had to make. Shed mounted cameras. I’m thinking at least 3 cameras, one is definitely a PTZ5A4M 25x. Maybe a pair of t54ir ze s3 also. Three 4mp cams. I figure a POE+ switch in the shed so only 1 wire going from house to shed...
