    M$ eliminates workaround requiring an account during Win 11 installation

    As mentioned in the body there, Rufus does a nice job of removing the crap from Windows 11 install experience. Download the Win11 iso, put it on USB stick via Rufus.

    Where are the 2025 Models?

    Yeah. But the connector isn't so much bulky as the camera is tiny.

    Where are the 2025 Models?

    Fair point. These cameras are indoors, and the interior has enough light overnight that the cameras stay in day mode. I can't say how they perform in dark scenes.

    Where are the 2025 Models?

    I recently worked on a Unifi system new install, using the G5 Ultra Dome camera. I have to say that I am impressed with the video quality and overall user experience of the ecosystem. It is unfortunate that it lacks varifocal lens, but as long as the customer is fine with "wide angles for...

    Comparing H.265 to H.264H compression (a quick test)

    Most importantly, can we have a image comparison with H.264H @ 1433? I bet you that 1/10th the bitrate gives you 90% of the quality. If storage or bandwidth has a realistic cost assigned to it, I think you'll find that 1433 (roughly) is an optimal bitrate.

    Customer Service is dead (share your stories here)

    I bought a fancy set of earbud wireless headphones during Black Friday sales at amazon.ca , so about December 1 I received them. Early January I had finally decided that I didn't like these headphones enough that I went back to my old ones. I checked on Amazon and it offered me a Return option...

    Camera Controller Joystick for Dahua PTZ cameras

    Interesting question. I would think that you would have to incorporate a Video Management System and then run the VMS's thick client application in order to gain the USB Joystick --> Camera PTZ functionality. This is how the mid-size corporate VMS deployments do it. There might be some fancy...

    Honey has been a scam this entire time.

    This video appearing in my recommendations was the first time I'd ever heard of it. At first I thought they were promoting the food, honey.

    Video/Event delay - Turn Sprinkler on when an IVS rule is triggered

    Having the camera's brain decide when there is motion situation, and then having it action the local electrical output, would be the fastest way to get the alert. Then you'd have to wire that camera output wire to your electrical field device, which is cumbersome in your case.
