Generally it's a better idea (cheaper in the long run) to run more cables instead of putting a switch at the other end, but sometimes it can make sense to do that. I've had this in a shed for 3 years with no issues. Currently unavailable on Amazon but basically the same thing as the link above...

Well it's been 5 years since starting this thread and I just upgraded our internet for the first time since starting this thread.....to FIBER! We were paying $40/month for 25/3 with 250 GB data cap and maybe 3-4 times/year getting hit with $15 extra because we were going over out data limit...

I have HDHomeRun (2 tuner) for a few years and it works great. I've only ever paid for cable 3 months ever, this was 13 years ago and it was a $5/month promo I cancelled at the end of the 3 months. HDHomeRun works great for the VERY limited live TV we watch. Mainly large sporting events and...

This is awesome about the driveway sensor across the road. I have one (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07Y41NVZC?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title) across my driveway that I have a zwave window/door sensor tied into. When someone pulls into my driveway, it dings the bell and triggers the...

I bought this from Andy (empiretechandy) last October. I installed it for 3 or 4 days on a 2x4 under my covered porch but realized it wasn't going to work how I thought so I pulled it down and it's been sitting in a box on a shelf since. Essentially brand new, both cameras work perfectly (see...

At this point, could it be worth trying a new VPN host? If using a dedicated machine with blue iris, you could use that computer, or maybe drop $50 on a raspberry pi? There are some good and easy options to set up a VPN service on a PI. Then you can block the NVR from access to the outside and...

Unfortunately I know exactly what is underneath the floorboards and it isn't money, it's spiders. Lots and lots of spiders. One that even crawled down my arm 45 minutes after I came inside after spending an hour or two under there. I spent way to many hours in the 18" of space between the dirt...

Interesting. I've got the rear plate of all my previous vehicles hanging on the wall of my barn. There's even a license plate nailed to a door of my house that must be covering a hole or something. It's been painted over dozens of times I'm sure and I never noticed it until I was down on the...

Pretty neat. Wouldn't an old and new license plate work well too?

I actually found that video while looking up stuff for home assistant (I recently moved from domotoicz to home assistant) and didn't get very far into the video before I realized I should check ipcamtalk to see if there were any reviews of this camera before wasting my time watching the video...

I'd be interested in just the doorbell camera and mount and would treat it as just another camera. It would be a replacement for a 5231 that is higher and off to the side of the actual front door. Don't have any use for a dedicated monitor in my house and don't need another switch. Edit...

I have an outside temp sensor that used to update the OSD to display the temp. Last winter that function broke and I just haven't fixed it so it's holding the last temp it saw. I was using a script I stole from the internet and I'm pretty sure that broke but since I didn't write it I can't fix...

Go to post #15 in this thread.

Hope the new PTZ is ok....if not at least I have video evidence of why it's broken.... He's not a great delivery driver, but I bet he's a Cornhole master. It was at least a good shot.

Do you have multiple trips set up? It could be sending one when the first trips, then another when the second trips....
