    Possible office building customer for coming up. Recommendations for Dahua cameras?

    No, the drives are all different so directory names can easily be the same. Another trick with the load balance is not to put every "rear" camera on a single drive. That's where the balancing act can get a little tricky. Again redundancy is what you're looking for so that if a drive fails you...

    Is there a scientific/engineering formula to figure out the needs of a battery backup & POE switch/cameras?

    I total the number of watts for every device, camera, switch, whatever, then add another 25% for "SWAG" and headroom to get a total. The load usually gets spread across at least two UPS supplies though both to prevent overload as well as redundancy.

    Great job Looney, I know you've been working hard on this one with Dahua. Nice testing, disappointing results especially the focus problem.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Sinema will caucus with the Marxocrats and nothing will change in the Senate. This is an effort to "distance" herself from the DNC and "postion" herself away from the Bribem Clown Show to her voters prior to the 2024 election when her seat is up again
