    Money & Economics

    I've been saying that for the last 30 years. I'm flabbergasted by how long they have kept all the balls in the air. The only way out IMO is huge inflation, otherwise known as stealing from everybody who was honest and prudent, while rewarding the fraudsters and the careless (both of which...

    bidens incredible transition to electric cars

    Daimler Will Resume Selling Diesel Trucks in Oregon “Acceptance of ICE orders was paused due to a misunderstanding in how zero-emission vehicles credits would be recognized in the state’s implementation of the Advanced Clean Truck rule,” the statement continued. “It has been clarified with the...

    Blue Iris Constantly Crashing

    I worked in an organization that designed and built PC cards and peripherals. This was back in the 286/386 days. We had all the latest equipment like fancy 100+ channel logic analyzers. I was always in disbelief when in this environment, the solution to a problem was to attack the contacts on...

    BI Finding Amcrest Cams, but not EmpireTech

    Mine too! Besides providing the easiest way to get new cameras initialized and set to the correct IP, I've found it to be a lifesaver for some camera settings. For reasons I am not able to explain, none of my browsers (brave, pale moon, IE, firefox) can change the video encoding settings on a...

    Ethernet Cable Problem

    Not correct when camera is connected to a POE switch. In that case brown and blue pairs are unused.

    BI Finding Amcrest Cams, but not EmpireTech

    It's painful for me to read this thread because there's surely a simple explanation waiting to be found, which I'd guess is either an IP address conflict or not using the tools correctly. This is not meant to be a ding, because some of the steps aren't intuitive until you learn the hard way how...

    Malibu Fires

    My take on the fires spreading. Yes, they go uphill on their own, but the addition of the Santa Anna winds blows them to the west, even if downhill.

    IR Illuminators?

    I started a thread 6 years ago about 4-watt IR illuminators. The 2-year summary in post #9 is still holding true today. I think I've had one of the IR-40s fail since 6 years ago, and still use the AI4 in a couple of places where the black face is important to me. I've painted all of the...

    A heavy truck manufacturer is ceasing sales in Oregon because of an electric percentage mandate. Oregon’s New Electric Truck Rule Is Disrupting Oregon’s Transportation Industry On Dec. 20, Daimler Trucks North America issued a stunning statement: It would stop selling large diesel trucks in...

    Malibu Fires

    Biden says feds will cover 100% of fire response costs in Southern California "I told the governor and local officials, spare no expense" the president urged Congress to "step up." "I'm going to make an appeal right now to the United States Congress," he said. "To the firefighters and first...

    Britain is Lost

    I just can't come to believe this. I'm not saying it's incorrect, which I don't know. It's that I can't comprehend something as evil as what this is saying.

    MUSIC - Great Musical Geniuses

    Speaking as a music illiterate, I think there are a lot of geniuses out there. I've known a few. The kid-age ones absorb math much easier than the general population. The adult ones speak multiple languages and seem to learn a new one pretty easily. I realize there's a difference between...

    Malibu Fires

    There are reports of arson creeping out. With my normal caution I'm not going to jump up and believe them. On the other hand, what an easy opportunity for a terrorist to cause massive damage. Could this be another cost of the open borders?

    Can I use NVR to detect animals?

    Can't turn off the filters in the 5442T-ZE. You would think you can because there's a setting that lets you turn them off, but it doesn't work. Only humans, vehicles, and fairly rare errors will trip the IVS.

    Coldwar 2.0, WW III, conflicts that challenge US hegemony ..

    New info for me, not knowing much about history. I find it ironic that Russia stiffed us at Yalta and we stiffed Russia with NATO expansion. After having done it to us first I would have expected them to be super-duper careful to not have it done to them. Makes the idiot term feel appropriate.

    Britain is Lost

    Just discussing, not trying to pick a fight here. Is what we see on USA news or X posts from USA news sources correct? Or do we have to dig deep for the truth which is often opposite what these USA sources say? One of the big Europe based media companies is Axel Springer SE. Besides a huge...

    Britain is Lost

    I have relatives in greater London and Germany and can relate to what you say. Pretty much everything about USA politics they are fed is a load of crap. They believe that Obama is/was a god and savior, everything about Biden is wonderful, and everything about Trump is horrible. When having to...

    Wow! This guy is genius!

    I tried his example http://166.152.44.38:8080/cam1color in a browser and in VLC and neither worked. One of the comments on the video might be right, that a lot of people are hitting it and causing a denial of service situation.

    Can someone help me sort out this confusion of a Poe switch and how it works ?

    I'm not familiar with the hiseeu brand. What I'm saying here is probably correct, unless the hisseu NVR works very differently from what I know. - If you want to use the POE ports on the NVR, you must run a separate cable to each camera. The NVR will assign an IP address to each camera...

    IP Cam recommendation request.

    I'm not a very good source for this info. I'll make a small start by saying for the most part, there are 2 types of systems widely used by members of this forum. One is an NVR from a company such as Dahua or Hikvision, with many other brands that use hardware manufactured by these or a few...

    Since this is your first post on the forum, please confirm that you are not a bot. No offense meant, it's just that there is an increasing number of new forum members that are bots. Maybe specify the type of access you're thinking of, such as computer in each unit, whole-building wifi...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    I agree, yet I can't help thinking that it would change the current situation of corrupt politicians be voted in by stupid people, to corrupt politicians being voted in by other corrupt politicians who were voted in by stupid people. While I think that overall, state politicians are less...

    Can someone help me sort out this confusion of a Poe switch and how it works ?

    The simple answer is "yes" but there are assumptions involved and details that might need to be defined. For instance, for wanting the NVR "between both", does than mean physical location, or with respect to the wiring connections, or both? Does the NVR have POE ports? Will you be using...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    And they've spent months setting up the "worse" outcome, leaving "bad" as the only other choice. Pretty much the same as other ballots, where the better choices get knocked out by the power structure before a final vote is allowed.
