According to my HOA president, police found jewelry and a gun on the guy. That makes me REALLY glad he's off the streets. I'm told that he'll probably go away for at least 5 years, but time will tell. Edit: Arraignment today. He'll be charged with 13 felonies. Scary how close he was to me and...

I'm a lurker here, but I owe everyone on this forum a huge THANK YOU for all the knowledge I've absorbed over the past few years. My family and neighbors will sleep a lot easier tonight because a wannabe thug is off our streets. FYI, I'm not the guy being interviewed... Man accused of several...

Lol, point taken. Not saying he uses Windows, just asking whether I may be able to stand on his giant shoulders and achieve similar results. I believe that's what many people here are hoping to do :-) I wont ask any more noob questions until I've had a chance to get my hands dirty. Thanks for...

Ok, thanks for the reply. I guess I could play around with the precompiled release for Windows and see if I can get it working with my existing cams, then may get a new cam later just for license plates. Now all I need is so free time... Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Hey nayr, I think I linked all of the components of your setup below. Can you comment on how it's going for you so far? Did you ever try an Nvidia card to ease the workload on your cpu? Have you compiled OpenALPR in a way that a Windows user with no programming experience could run, or is a high...

This one is popular though I haven't looked for where to buy and am not sure about price. https://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php?t=7259 Huisun 10x LPR (License Plate Reading) settings Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Question for anyone who knows better than me, is this dangerous? My understanding is that this in some way "bonds" the two buildings electrically, which means a surge or lightning strike could cause a surge in the other building, or something worse. The proposed solution was a media converter...

Any updates? The bill for my system just came in and I'm debating whether to get rid of this expensive service I have. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Looking forward to seeing your results since my 25mm lens just got delivered and I suspect I'll need supplemental IR to pick up plates at night. Rebranded 2032 (Swann) here too, BTW. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Thanks for resurrecting this thread. I have a 25mm lens on the way from Wrightwood. Hopefully I will have time to play around with it soon. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

That car needs to be there unfortunately because two cars park in the garage in front of it and there needs to be enough room to maneuver around that car. Thanks for the feedback so far everybody. I gave the video to the victim and I assume they gave it to police, though I doubt there's much...

At 3:58 a.m. (roughly 57 minutes into this video, sorry for the lack of video editing), you can see a car turn onto our street in the upper right of the screen. He then turns off his lights as he turns around in front of my house. [Video deleted for privacy reasons. Thanks to all those who...

After flashing Hikvision firmware is it possible to flash the Swann firmware back and therefore un-void the warranty? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Epic stuff, man. This thread is so fun to read through, even for an amateur such as myself :-) You mind sharing what $30 mini-super NVR you speak of? I'd love to have one in the living room and one in the master bedroom since my phone app seems to take eons to load when things go bump in the...

Actually I forgot that I had bookmarked this product. It plugs into your control panel and gives your security system an Ethernet port which you hook up to your home network and control by smartphone. If you get it or someone else can comment on it I'd be interested. Hard to deny that my current...
