Skype? I don't Skype. Wiring isn't a problem. I've done some cat6 & jacks in bedrooms and the living room back to a router. Finishing wiring might be my problem as I lose focus.

What are the cost comparisons between a 16 channel NVR and a comparable BI/PC; using up to a few 5442 type cameras. Not asking about a system price. Just the comparison price of an NVR and BI/PC. I have no confidence or ability to change a BIOS in a PC. It's easy for someone who can do it, but...

What are the cost comparisons for NVR and BI/PC in the 16 camera range? One thing I like about an NVR is in a power down situation it restarts back to recording without a human interface on power up. I'm moving sometime next year but still need to put something in place until that time.

Looking for an affordable servo that pans and tilts by remote for outdoor use. I have a thermal camera similar in size to an IR turret type (although a bit larger) that I want to utilize in an outdoor environment to rotate and tilt. The camera weighs a pound or so. Something for outdoor use is...

The more crime you have, the less they look at lesser crimes. The home invasion non-response would be infuriating. But if someone robs a bank the police are all over it.

In 3rd world countries everybody who can afford to uses security walls and security doors in a similar way that our crappy neighborhoods have bars on their windows and doors. Formerly safe and secure middle class neighborhoods in Western nations are entering that phase as the 3rd world...

Lots of Biden Harris signs in my heavily Republican area. It's like that in neighborhoods with lots of government employees. The Joe / Kamel ticket. My neighbor had the blue Trump sign along with a lot of other candidates. It must've been stolen because now it's gone and there are two black and...

Dennis Rader, the BTK serial killer, would access garages and use a utility knife (Stanley knife) to cut open a hand hole beside the door knob to reach in the house and unlock the door from the inside. You need plywood separating your garage and living space for this reason, not just beside your...

Listening to the recording of the Goodyear meeting (you can hear dissension from the crowd) it appeared to me the bossman was trying to quell factory floor tensions where the BLM supporters were wearing BLM attire and another group was responding with support of other groups and efforts, which...

Your neighbor had just completed & packaged a fresh meth cook for his cartel and the transporter was making the pickup in the truck.

These 3 pics below and no description is all there was. The description said they are ~"auctioning off camera and surveillance equipment. Condition unknown" No specifics. No count or variety of anything. I went and looked it over and found 8 empty drop ceiling cases but there are 7-8 old JVC...

Someone else won them at 735 or so.

What are they worth in dollars? I let the next guy win them at auction. There were 4 of these, about 8 JVC domes from 2004-2005, 8 empty drop ceiling housings, several electric junction boxes with unknown devices(if any) inside, and 25 of something that resembled very large motion detectors...

I've located a few of these DOME cameras and wondering what anyone has in experience relating to them? It's an older discontinued camera, so can it be controlled and with what kind of software? They were removed from a payment processing center in an upgrade for a location that handles...

There's a little elevated humidity in the basement and we run a small dehumidifier. Suspending the rack gear higher toward the ceiling should help and I'm adding a branch from the air handler, but two times a year the HVAC doesn't run much. My PA gear is down there and seems to hold up ok.
