    Poor quality cable or rj45 connectors?

    I will be extremely surprised if a POE NVR uses Mode B. I'm sensing some "A" "B" confusion here. TIA/EIA568A and TIA/EIA568B are a wiring standard. They have absolutely nothing to do with POE Mode A or POE Mode B (other than the power is carried on the wires). Any TIA/EIA568A and TIA/EIA568B...

    I don't see it either. It's starting to look like the $4k increase in age 65+ standard deduction is going to be claimed as "no tax on social security". Yet another lie of course, and it expires after a few years.

    Andy's NVR vs Blue Iris?

    It's a 5842-Z S2. It's pretty much a junk camera for me because it won't detect animals, but occasionally I find a temporary use where the higher resolution is handy. Right now it's mounted to a 2x4 sticking out of a bucket filled with rocks, and its wire runs through the tall grass.

    Poor quality cable or rj45 connectors?

    Cables built to the standard are the same for both modes. Most modern switches do not support Mode B. I've never heard of a switch supporting Mode B, although at least one must certainly exist. OK, so you're using an injector, where 7/8 DO matter. One remote possibility is a mistake I made...

    The old dog learns another BI trick. It seemed very logical to me that if my UI3 display was 1080p, then a data rate higher than 1080p would be a waste. Wrong! Each faster speed shows an image detail improvement, even going from 2160 to 4320. However, from poking around, the very best...

    Time to take a stand! Are you with him, or with me? As politicians like to say, if you're not with me, you're against me, blah, blah, blah! But if he's right, a lot of us will have more money for cameras. This stuff is such a mess. In the no tax on tips section the bill says: In...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Well dang, even knowing it's there I still can't find it in the help. The setting is called "Playback Controls: Skip 1 Frame Buttons", and even after searching for all the keywords I can't find it.

    I've skimmed the house bill and sure can't find this. https://www.congress.gov/119/bills/hr1/BILLS-119hr1eh.pdf The summary list of tax cuts is: PART2—ADDITIONAL TAX RELIEF FOR AMERICAN FAMILIES AND WORKERS Sec. 110101. No tax on tips. Sec. 110102. No tax on overtime. Sec. 110103. Enhanced...

    Good thing Dear Leader never exaggerates!

    Andy's NVR vs Blue Iris?

    Doesn't have to be if the contributors stay objective. The platforms are different, and at least with BI and NVR, neither one does every single thing better than the other. This makes one better for some people and the other better for other people, based on their needs and preferences. The...

    This one looks like total fake news. "Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship is now in effect, after SCOTUS decision." The ruling was stayed for 30 days, so forget the "now" part. It is NOT in effect at this time. The whole mess is bouncing back to lower courts. SCOTUS did...

    What I think of your wildlife is slow, geblunk, geblunk, at least before they're ready to chomp down on somebody :) Even the little ducks didn't exactly race out of their house. I wonder if any of them made it, talk about diving into the pit full of gators. I occasionally get a pretty good...

    Andy's NVR vs Blue Iris?

    I run 10 fps, so that factors into the big picture. BI is a continuous recording with an index file for the events. At first years ago I thought it was clever that Dahua leveraged the linux file system for tracking the events. I've since changed my mind because there are too many unintended...

    Poor quality cable or rj45 connectors?

    Not true for pretty much every POE switch in existence. They use Mode A.

    Andy's NVR vs Blue Iris?

    This could be one of the times I could learn something. Bigred, could you walk me through an easier way to single step through an event in SmartPSS? The way I do it is to find the event on the timeline, zoom the timeline, start playback just before the event and single step until it quits...
