i think that non pro purple price is a little (amazon) inflated.. i just noticed on WD shop website i believe prices listed are identical for both PRO and non pro in their respective size (though "notify me when available") probably best to judge when they actually are available. as we all...

noticed WD Purple PRO has been announced for a while on WD website, and now was just listed on amazon... -anyone have any experience with the new WD purple PRO drives yet? scanned thru the data sheets, seems the only difference (maybe i missed something) is: -5yr warranty (PRO) vs 3yr (non...

your PS skills wow me! LOL actully when planning I thought I might try that..and sure when looking straight head on it blends.. but because of shape when look at from different angles it actually would probably stick out more because of a crooked line from diff vantage points

i mean clearly it's still there (with the lighting and shadows its hard to fully show how it blends) but at least not bright white camera housing...

thank you, best match i could get.. until i see or think of something else. the textured paint worked out very good, i'm really liking it. see how long it lasts or holds up... the whole idea was minimal/camouflaged but still with a good performance camera. because it is basically covered and...

thank you - yes have access to back to connect to pigtail.

I thought I would share my latest install on a brick wall, with painting to match. Not too much out there on painting save a few videos on youtube, and a few threads here, so thought maybe this can help some guys. I get all my gear from @EMPIRETECANDY Andy what a nice dude. Now, the intention...

well @David L this popped up today on hik app (iPhone) I guess we will see what’s affected in a few weeks...

I would get smallest lightest general purpose junction box from Home Depot something like pictured below (+cover) and stuff the wire inside. You could probable even get away with attachIng by silicone or caulking alone for the time being as your not really holding anything substantial. and then...

well.. this is diagram from ring doorbell setups for two doorbell, one transformer. same premise would be used for the hik/rebrand video doorbells. so yes two power kits. one each to regulate power to each video doorbell. they have several diagrams for many possible setup scenarios - 1/2/3...

@pete_c @bparrish - the first thing I thought of when I read this was - regarding hikfirmware read a long time ago... "Please note the firmware must be installed in sequential order, as Hikvision firmware updates are file-based, and generally depend on the previous firmware. " i have a Ezviz DB1...

first do as @sebastiantombs said: The first basic step is to test with a known, good, commercially made, cable. then.. even with that - are any of these or your "cables not made by you" CCA, slimrun, flat garbage, 28, 30, 32 awg shit? they have a higher failure rate. yes moving them "could...

cheap testers (and any and all testers in most cases) will not always catch shorts to pass thru connectors (the ends). they will pass the 1-8 wires. from everything i read above, the new cables you made was your variable. if they cameras and system worked before you used these new made cables...

did you use pass-thru connectors or standard (closed ends) you could have POE short problems with pass-thru open ends not being cut flush enough - causing them to work in some instances but not others.

ok, ok. :) so i realize this might just be personal preference - maybe i'll also ask what people prefer - a) or b) - essentially horizontal vs vertical mount a) 5442 and PFB204W OR b) 5442 and PFA130-E
