    Tips for a successful termination with RJ-45 connector

    You are correct, The exposed ends of the wire will wick up moisture/water between the wire and insulation and migrate back to the crimped connection. This produces corrosion and increases the resistance, sometimes to failure. I have seen this on various applications over the years, not just...

    Nosey neighbor?

    Maybe put another camera on the other side of your house, pointing at his, might relax him a bit. He could be suffering from OCPD and thinks your home is off balance.

    Suspected Mail Thieves at 2 AM

    Looks like they are more than "Suspected". I got a large lockable mailbox years ago. They are great when you are out of town for a week+. Use to have to notify local PO to hold mail. Now I just let it pile up in there w/o worry. BTW, great looking video as always!

    Would a Properly Wired House for Security Cameras Increase its Value?

    I have my entire home/property wired with 19 cameras. When I sell, I am going to provide the buyer with an fair option for the entire system. Plan on demonstrating the system for them, so they know what they are getting. If they don't want it, I will pull all the cams/switches and some of...

    Push failure 404 requested entity not found.

    I have multiple Android Pixels phones and it seems that I can only get BI notifications on 1 phone at a time. After about 25 or so notifications, they stop working, and I have to cycle power on phone for them to be active again. I don't know if it is a BI or Android problem. I use Pushover...

    How many cameras do you have inside? Any? Am I going overboard?

    I would be more concerned with your smart phone/smart TV remotes (Roku, Xumo, etc) listening in on what you are saying. I always try to physically disable the mics on those handheld remotes. They scare me.

    How many cameras do you have inside? Any? Am I going overboard?

    Inside cams are a great benefit. You can see if anyone is really inside your house when gone. I keep the local Sherriff's office phone number on my phone, and if I call 911, our local system plays the 911 audio to the responding Sherriff officers and you can give them a play by play on what is...

    Turret cams and wall mounts. How do you protect from rain / elements ?

    You did not state what manufacturer of turret cams you are mounting. I always try to mount my turret cams under the roof overhang, but have 4 Dahua 5442 series turret cams mounted out in the open. They have been there for years w/o any water issues, except grime build up on lens. Last year we...

    Password is wrong and GetEvents error?

    I have had the same problem with a Dahua T5442T-ZE camera. I was going to factory default it, but removing ONVIF Authentication solved it for me too. Glad you brought this up. Looks like I may be removing ONVIF Authentication on all the cams too.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Wow! Even more reason not to use Signal for any secure comms, let alone ANY comms. There needs to be a very big shakeup here. The politicians are stupid for not bringing this up, but we already know this. This Leftist bitch also runs Wikipedia. I will never believe anything on that site...
