    Unshielded CAT5 cable in EMT conduit outside?

    If you have time, haunt the government liquidation sites. They almost give it away, but I don't see it that often within a driveable radius. If you don't need a whole reel, look on Craigslist. Some guy who bought 1000 feet has 700 left he wants to get rid of. There's always a few of those...

    What could be the role of old-school motion-detector lights in the security camera world?

    Your neighbors will hate you if the wind makes your lights flash on and off all night.

    Firmware update – if to do, and how

    There are a lot of horror stories about cameras losing features etc. and plain old bricked cameras with updated firmware. Consensus says don't update without a good reason. I'd trust an Andy update over a factory update, as he is responsive in a way Dahua isn't. Also, search the update in the...

    Unshielded CAT5 cable in EMT conduit outside?

    Also, use Cat6 or better. Even if some corrosion starts, it will take longer to disrupt the signal with thicker wires than with wimpy cat 5.

    Algertc ALPR database and VPNs

    Just a post mortem comment to help anyone in the same boat. When I ran the first command: psql -d postgres -U postgres -f /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/schema.sql I got a bunch of messages telling me that a bunch of files were already there. When I ran the second command: psql -d postgres -U...

    BYOB - Build Your Own Beijing | Crazy, game-changing things you can do with latest AI

    Yes, I have read posts about custom models that ID various trucks, and perhaps uniforms? Still waiting for the "pre-crime" custom model that tells me the guy walking around outside has larceny in his heart. I'm sure the wait won't be long However precisely we can discriminate among the data...

    BYOB - Build Your Own Beijing | Crazy, game-changing things you can do with latest AI

    I've noticed that each improvement in the amount of information available creates a need for a corresponding degree of analysis. When I first set up cameras, it was a big deal just to be able to look at what was happening, but soon I needed to set up alerts so I could know when something...

    Blue Iris Control Room App/Client app

    My server is hard to reach, so I use windows remote desktop to access it. Every once in a while it balks at connecting, but 95 percent of the time it's transparent. When it balks, I plug a keyboard and monitor in to the server and it wakes up, then remote desktop works again.

    Algertc ALPR database and VPNs

    Here's perhaps the problem. The db1 log shows the following error, apparently repeating with each new jpeg: 2025-05-24 19:22:02.967 PDT [11662] ERROR: there is no unique or exclusion constraint matching the ON CONFLICT specification 2025-05-24 19:14:28.945 PDT [11662] STATEMENT: WITH...

    Algertc ALPR database and VPNs

    I tried following Janhaus's instructions, running psql -d postgres -U postgres -f /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/schema.sql and the equivalent migrations commands inside the database container, and got a message that everything after ...-initdb was a superfluous argument and would be ignored. I...
