    Moving to new house. What are your latest recommendations for cameras, POE switches, etc?

    Thank you, The Automation Guy! I need to study all of this, but it seems like one of the Netgate appliances with pfSense might be an easy solution. Right now, I'm running an Asus router and using its ability to run a VPN that allows me to use OpenVPN on our phones and remote PCs to tunnel in...

    Thanks, you guys. I got most of the cameras I have now from Andy and Empire. Good to hear he's still going strong!

    Moving to new house. What are your latest recommendations for cameras, POE switches, etc?

    We bought the house across the street from our current residence. I've enjoyed our current system, made primarily from cameras, switches, PCs, Blue Iris, etc., that I've learned about from the experts on here. I have a PC I'll use, and I'll put Blue Iris on it. But I'm sure cameras have...

    Delivery Driver with pulsing IR

    This is very interesting. I haven't noticed any of this on my cameras, but then I haven't looked for it. Thanks to everyone for posting these videos and thoughts.

    The Typical picture of a Perp on Nextdoor-type Apps with Consumer Grade Cameras like Ring, Nest, Arlo, Canary, Wyze, etc.

    Now dare you! And now I need to root around in my mom's house basement to see if I can find my old Lite Brite! :)

    My daily tree and bush trimming crew right on time

    It looks like the business end of the shaver they're advertising. Maybe a big image of one comes into the picture or goes out of the picture as part of the commercial. Either that, or the UFOs are spying on the filming!

    Amazon attempts to open my front door to deliver package

    Now that you bring that up. If the driver didn't find a keypad, I wonder how much time he would have spent looking for one. We put in a new storm door and a new main front door a few years ago. The storm door is almost all glass (with a screen insert you can swap for the glass one). We...

    Video shows suspect fire shots at person in Chicago

    I don't know why they're bothering to ID the suspect. They'll just let him out without bail immediately.

    Ducks on thermal camera

    The push in connections should be illegal! I really like the receptacles with the side clamps. I always sort of hated the loop around the screw, even though it does make a good connection if used correctly! I'll pay more for better devices to get the clamp type connections! They're what I've...

    Ducks on thermal camera

    I think the genius that wired that part of your place might be the guy who owned my house before we bought it. He was very frugal! Connections behind walls with no junction boxes, and he liked to pull every centimeter of slack out of each box, too. You couldn't even pull a switch or...

    Ducks on thermal camera

    I want one! I've just never sprung for any of them yet! Aluminum wiring. Nasty stuff if not handled correctly. People don't realize how quickly aluminum oxidizes, and how great of an insulator aluminum oxide is. It's sapphire! Hard, great insulator, and forms within minutes of exposing the...

    Ducks on thermal camera

    Many years ago, a guy brought a thermal imaging camera into the place where I worked. He was somewhat desperate because he had connected it backwards to a big 12V battery, and fried it. This was an AGA "Thermovision" thermoscan camera back in the late 1970s, or early 1980s. I got the job of...
