Per capita gun ownership by state, Texas isn't even in the top 20. MT and WY are tied for that award.

I drive a lot for work. Here is my 2022 travel map. My work pickup has a tracker that starts recording whenever the truck starts moving. Two weeks ago I had a job in southeast Georgia. I left Nebraska and made it to northwest Georgia the first day. 890 miles. Stopping only once to make...

I remember that forum thread. I'm a Dahua star dealer and contacted Dahua when I read that. They denied the camera has a built in counter that will disable PTZ at a set number of cycles.

I'm almost 70 and in that many years I have only had one crime against me. My bicycle was stolen on the first day of college. I grew up in small towns is probably the reason and in my professional career have lived in Omaha, Seattle and Honolulu. Just lucky I guess.

Yeah, I have read that too. I have 30+ PTZ cameras in the field for customers and myself, some for over ten years, with no problems caused by the PTZ assembly wearing out.

Most newer IP cameras are capable now of streaming RTMP to YouTube live. That really makes it easy. The only problem with that is if the stream quits, it does not automatically restart. Using a separate YouTube server can monitor the bandwidth and restart the encoder if the stream quits...

This camera has been in place for almost five years now. Always touring presets.

This camera gets a few views during a normal day. But, when storms roll in I'll see 200+ viewing. The most views though are on fourth of July evening and night.

I like putting up weather cameras and sharing on YouTube live. Here is one I put up a few years ago. Since a microphone would receive nothing more than wind noise, I rebroadcast the national weather service radio for this area. This camera is a Dahua 4K PTZ with a raspberry pi used as the...

I use underground sprinkler tubing. It's inexpensive and easy to vibrate in with a rental plow if you are OK with about 6" of depth. Then I suck a string through the tubing with a shop vac and pull in my cat6 or fiber and a pull string.

I hope they didn't charge the guy for the beer.

I love the acceleration on my diesel pickup. I also love the 54 gallon tank and the ability to drive 900 miles or until my bladder is about to burst.

The deer have had a good year here too. Mild winter and spring means good deer crop.

The audio on the weather cam comes from the national weather service web page. So, the audio source sample rate are set in my FFMPEG script at 128k. The frame rate is set at 24fps at 4K resolution.

I have never had much luck using BlueIris for streaming RTMP video to Youtube. I use a raspberry pi and FFMPEG. You can also try the built in RTMP encoder in the camera. Here is a link to a webpage that spells out the YouTube requirements for video resolutions and bit rates. Choose live...

Same issue. Re-installing the key did not fix the problem. update......just tried it again and it worked.

I have done this for a customer that wanted to stream video and stereo audio to YouTube Live. By using a raspberry pi, a USB stereo audio dongle and an FFMPEG streaming script I use the audio from the pi rather than the camera. You end up with better audio and the ability to use any camera...

Sprinkler line is not that expensive. Maybe run a length of that and put your cat5 in it? Then you can replace the cat5 in the future if needed.

Newsom needs to work on his own problems in California and leave us legal gun owners alone.

Yeah, it's always a madhouse. They went virtual for a year during the pandemic but the year after that was great. Very few Chinese vendors plus the isles were wider and about half as many people were there.

I have attended the Consumer Electronics Show every year for close to thirty years. Four or five years ago it was a novelty to see a robot handling food. That has changed. This year food robots were very well represented. With minimum wages on the rise and the shortage of people to work in...

Here is what chat GPT-4 says about your comment: The concept of "AI Wars" brings up the idea of different AI models or systems competing against each other, analogous to previous technological battles like VHS vs. Betamax or HD DVD vs. Blu-ray. This scenario seems plausible, particularly as AI...

I just ran your response through Chat GPT-4. As AI models continue to evolve and improve, distinguishing between human and AI-generated text is indeed becoming a more challenging task. For example, OpenAI's GPT series has shown increasing sophistication from version to version, with GPT-3 and...

And never dropped her cigarette.

I truly believe that some people were put on this earth to serve as an example to others.

I use a PiHole on my local network. It blocks ads on any computer, phone, tablet, TV, etc. connected to the network. Also use Privacy Badger to block cookies.

The housing is built with off the shelf PVC couplers and PVC pipe from the hardware store. The dome is a common replacement dome for IP cameras from Amazon. The sealant is Loctite Roof and Flashing polyurethane sealant. On the rear of the housing is a 1/4" plate that is drilled and tapped...

I have built a few underwater IP cameras. Here is a link to a forum post from a few years past. Underwater IP camera on a beaver lodge Here are a some videos from the last few years.

Hope there was nobody upstairs.

It's a livestream with a wireless internet connection?
