    Build an affordable P.A. system for my driveway?

    Hi gents, Just checking in to say "hi" and use my login credentials. Great to see everybody is still active and hangin' in here. I've been MIA for a while since my system has been dialed and performing flawlessly for the most part. Alas, I've re-immersed myself into my vintage VW hobby and...

    The OP went with outrageous sirens instead :lol:

    Vehicle identification needed from IPCamTalk

    Either a Yukon or a Tahoe, they're virtually identical save for the nameplates and trim packages (GMC vs. Chevy). Zoom in on the red one, it clearly says YUKON on the door (albeit reversed).

    Vehicle identification needed from IPCamTalk

    This is where LPR really shines: if you can get the general gist of the vehicle, then enter the plate at infotracer and confirm the make/color/year, and try to piece it all together. Stolen plate-swappers notwithstanding. This is how I confirmed my stalker. https://infotracer.com/plate-lookup/

    My MP4 exports are ugly, they have a foggy haze.

    Thank you for the comprehensive reply. I am so relieved to hear that I am not alone in my displeasure with this condition, and that it wasn't some obscure setting or parameter that I may have overlooked. When you say the contrast in the image on the left is too strong, I tend to agree, as the...

    My MP4 exports are ugly, they have a foggy haze.

    Okay, this really bothers me now. I touched on this previously in this thread: Convert/Export Encoder Profile Configuring but I thought it more pointed for the title to address it directly: Before, I thought it was just the size of the window I was viewing it in, or even worse, just my...

    Digital License Plates

    I appreciate that. I wasn't really responding in a philosophical sense, but more in the context of the value of our LPRs, and how the plates we grab might be affected by those we're the most concerned with (those being perps).

    Digital License Plates

    Thankfully, my suspicion is that most people who've GOT to have "the latest thing," and those who won't spend the extra dough and don't want to be tracked, aren't the same people* (the latter likely being crooks). *Has anybody noticed that, ever since Obama, the new word for "people" is now...

    What cha listening to?

    I suspect this type of stuff is a generation behind a lot of you gents, but I'm an 'X'er (born in '65) and find this good lounge/ambient sound to get things done... Summa this too...

    What cha listening to?

    I just noticed in another video that she has a left foot-pedal with some relay linkage so she can double-thrum on the bass with both feet. She's bad ass :headbang:

    Build an affordable P.A. system for my driveway?

    Also related: you'll recall I started this thread to ask about a PA so that I could scream at people. I went a different route, I just bought two of these bad-ass monster sirens and a 12V power supply Dual Tone Exterior Siren - ELK Products Now, if the driveway alarms wake me up, and I go to...

    Build an affordable P.A. system for my driveway?

    Great stuff, thanks for linking! And how timely: I just went to the PD this morning to ask them WTF is up with my report and why hasn't anyone gone to visit this prick yet? They said "Well, they'll get to it, it's just 'low' priority' and we only have a few detectives for this sort of...

    Bobcat fell into pool

    I've seen what is probably the tiniest of Bobcats, wasn't more than about 36" wide, maybe 40 max. But I'm not sure if you can get the hydraulic breaker attachment for/on one of those baby units.
