    I need a vandal proof Ip camera

    No, the police could really care less about theft. 2 days ago the just found a 25 year old woman dead that was shot in the face in a park directly behind one of the apartments I installed about 80 cameras in this past summer. I was actually surprised that caught the person responsible for the...

    I need a vandal proof Ip camera

    I think most of the damage will be from someones fist or a empty Mad Dog bottle. They really can't afford hammers in this area. If he has me do this job I will post a pic and maybe we can place bets on how fast they are destroyed!

    I need a vandal proof Ip camera

    I will look into these dome covers. Thank you! I will order a few and give them to the manager and let them deal with it. I really do not have the time to be bothered with this type of thing. I posted pics here when I did the original installation earlier this summer. I log into the nvr the...

    I need a vandal proof Ip camera

    Thats probably what I will end up doing. I was thinking about possible hiding a cam in the built in mailboxes that are recessed in the wall. Ill need to take another look and see what I can come up with. This customer will bitch about the price no matter what I do so I may as well go really high...

    I need a vandal proof Ip camera

    The owner of the building will be horrified when he see's the cost of these cameras. He will probably just have me order a dozen regular ip cams and replace them every week. I found these plastic domes that will fit over the cam and they are cheap so I may try that first. when someone uses it...

I will need a vandal proof cam for the area between the entry doors that will watch the mail boxes. the ceilings are very low...

    Noticed this on a job yesterday. Had to post it.

    no, just a utility closet on the other side. I will be making a bunch of violations for the owner. the inspector was there inspecting my fire alarm and almost had a nervous breakdown when he saw some of the electrical work done there. He did not violate them just told them to have it corrected...

    This is what you get when customer wants to save a few bucks.

    In the beginning of the summer I was hired by a property manager to install systems in 4 of his newly acquired apartment complex in lovely east Cleveland Oh. After the 4 systems were installed he had 2 more apartments he wanted done. so I give him a quote and he wanted me to drop the price by...

    Just wrapped this job up last week. Easy job. The live edge bar top turned out pretty cool. It was led lights underneath. I knocked out some of the knots and filled it with clear 2 part epoxy and smashed a vodka bottle and put the glass chips in the epoxy. Yes, we got to drink the vodka!

    Noticed this on a job yesterday. Had to post it.

    He HAS to be kidding, I was hired to repair all the electrical violations and install new main panels for for the new tenant. This was only 2 things I took pics off. If one of my guys did this type of work. They would no longer work for me. Totally un fucking acceptable

    i HAVE NO IDEA HOW THIS EVEN WORKED!

    I don't evan want to talk about lost tools! How many flashlights have I left, lost in attics? Or how many Milwaukee impacts dropped off a ladder or lift, In 30 years I only had one thing stolen, a 20 ft extension ladder. I set it up and ran back to my van to get something and I see Sandford and...

    New user trying to figure out an affordable POE-based Blue Iris system that doesn't use companies like Dahua, Hikvision or Reolink

    Have you looked into Uniview or Axis? Both are very solid performers. They can be used without any cloud service. just dont connect them into your router and they will not be hacked into. Hopefully you will find something in your price range that works for you. I am curious to what you come up...

    Just happened to have these in my truck. I wish I would have taken a pic of one of the cameras. I had to use a pair of channel locks to pull the connector out. this is exactly why I always use Deox on them.

    Residential Access Control - alternatives to smart locks

    Most of the issues were with the Unifi hub. I opened one that failed and the solid joints looked really bad. almost all the joints were loose. I then opened another from a different lot and that looked the same. and overall the equipment has a very cheap feel to it. I really think Unifi makes a...

    I understand what you are saying. If someone wants to get in and steal, rape, rob or whatever they want to do. they will do regardless what what security devices are in place. I am not a big fan of wireless. keep in mind that there are only 2 cameras on the system that that are connected to a...

    I just checked my billing software and see that I have installed 417 systems in the last year which were mostly Uniview cameras. And there were 4 service calls. 2 of the calls were for the same location because the cameras were damaged. 1 was painted over and the other was smashed with a...
