    Mini monitor for next to alarm panel

    My hikvision NVR has HDMI and DVI output so I use a HDMI to cat5e extension to the loungeroom tv and run the DVI to a Dell PC monitor next to the box. Because the NVR is in my closet, the screen is easily visible from bed with the door open. The wife leaves it on at night when I'm at work or...

    Meth head crashes his car into my caravan/wall and drags person 60 feet+

    The she you are referring to is my wife. My wife had no idea what had happened and walked outside. I was in bed when this happened which is why it took me longer to get outside but she was still up with our baby. We don't live in the US so not usually a gun violence problem requiring a shotgun...

    Meth head crashes his car into my caravan/wall and drags person 60 feet+

    Old video dig up but recently found out the peanut who crashed through the wall has lost his wife, kids and a lot of family over this. Turned out his drug addiction was a big secret and this was the tipping point I guess in his life. Sad that people will put themselves through this for drugs...

    Yeah they sure were. I guess when someone tries to run you or your friends down and you've had a few drinks... Fence will be a few thousand to replace by the looks. All insured of course. I see you're a fellow Aussie too :D

    Surprisingly the bricks pushed into the draw bar at the front and only the aluminium bars touched the white part/walls of the van. Most of it will actually buff out or be painted over. Looks like no structural damage. The safety chain I buried at the front to secure the van saved the back...

    Oh and it's a 3mp Hikvision bullet(exir type) 2232 and Hikvision NVR(8ch) There is another cam that can see all this but this angle was better. You can see the IR illumination on the ground near the caravan.

    Meth head crashes his car into my caravan/wall and drags person 60 feet+

    This happened Sat night about 10pm... House over the road had some guests and was having a nice quiet night until a guest invites their friend to attend. He turns up hammered drunk AND off his face. He then assaults a girl and is forcibly removed(few punches of encouragement). He gets in his...

    New to Cams and Surveillance Toys

    Why were the only options coax and wireless? Why not coax, wireless and Cat5 IP wired? Wired IP is basically as secure as a coax system? Also is there no way of making your current DVR more physically secure? Locked cabinet etc?

    Why is everyone desperate to upgrade firmware?

    Ah ok, I guess that highlights my 'NOOBieness' to IP cams of this quality. I had no idea about some of those features etc. Probably something I won't ever need and as such I wouldn't risk all the issues people have by updating the firmware but at least I get the point of all the hassle if you...

    Why is everyone desperate to upgrade firmware?

    OK so I am a super NOOB to IP stuff and have just finished my first part of my install around my house.

    Swarm of bugs overnight attracted to IR

    That is dust, mist or heavy fog partcles. It is not bugs or a spider web.

    Idea for very bright DIY IR illuminator....

    That's the whole point of comparison images, one thing stays the same(the scene) while the other changes(50m vs 100m illumination) The images show the 100m is narrower but further illumination(back wall is brighter) but 50m is wider(roof trusses and sides of image better lit) Does anyone else...
