I have an EV and a PHEV and although I agree with much of what you said, but a large reason people do not want EVs is the same reason they did not want hybrids: fear, uncertainty, and doubt. Those who for some reason do not like EVs already will jump immediately to the edge case about road trips...

Corporate policy precludes installation of anything by Hikvision. I have some home cameras I want to view and I've been happy with the Hikvision app for viewing/playback. Can anybody recommend a good alternative? I do not use Blue Iris, and instead connect directly to the cams across local network.

Gosh what a pain. Despite being on a 64 bit system I did in fact have to install that x86 to get sadp to work. Thanks :)

These guys are top-shelf. I recently went through the RMA process on a product with them after it seemed like there was a strange hardware fault with it. Tech support worked with me and were very responsive. Finally, we decided to RMA and that process was super quick as well, and completely...

I think that is a full time color camera. If the lens cannot even see the light or anything reflected closely off it I think you’ll be just fine. You could test with a temporary mount—eg tape the camera to a thin piece of ply that is wedged between the flashing across the soffit.

As I said.

Fraud so obvious that of the dozens of cases submitted in multiple states not a single one has found for trump. SCOTUS also will not find in his favor. Count on it.

Nice cam placement!

awful company. I had three units on the two year contract and when I ordered one more they wanted a full reset of two years on everything. When I did cancel they slammed my mailbox for years begging me back (never, ever).

I have pi running OpenVPN. If it’s just serving as a DNS server to block ads I should be able to get it to run pihole also, right? I assume set router’s DNS to reference the IP of the pi, so that any new device that defers to router’s dns automatically now uses the pihole? finally, does this...

ANY company can have quality issues and eventually 100% of them will. The fact monoprice is eating the labor is shocking. Based on what inread in that link if it were me I’d not lose a second sleep over it, nor do anything for cable already run.

Not that I've seen; you can click people's threads and watch videos they embed or post on youtube without paying anything.

Based on your other thread it seems you have hikvision cameras and you're trying to watch the video on them. presumably somebody set these up for you and offered some guidance...? As for paying, no you wouldn't have to do that.

Really nice. I've not used them but nelly's promotes IPCampower products. I see there is an IPCampower branded switch that takes one POE input and outputs two POE as well. It's a small unit, and cheap enough that if it failed outside it wouldn't be the end of the world. I bet in a weatherproof...

This thread was the final motivation I needed. Bought a HFW5241E-Z12E from Andy a week back. Currently playing with settings, but somebody on amazon said it likes 1/500 and HLC @ 85% at night. I set that as night setting, and nothing comes through--even a dim solar light on a neighbor's lawn...
