    Gas prices

    This makes me weep gently. I pay the equivalent of $2.07 a litre for diesel.

    Gas prices

    Maybe they will change to $ per litre like they did in the 1980's in the UK so it doesnt look so bad. But then you dont like the metric system over there so maybe something like $ per quart? :p For what its worth, I buy my diesel in stinking Euros per litre (hate the euro) but i still measure...

    Just going out for a ride . . .

    have to admit i thought the accident was going to be the a-frame coming out of its rear foundations and the whole lot going over the cliff. Darwin awards for all who go on that thing

    Memory Leak

    That was my understanding of what they were trying to achieve, hance my use of "Link Aggregation(LAGG)/Bond" (Im not really a windows person so wasnt aware if they used the bridge term correctly).

    Memory Leak

    It is possible that stopping BI is showing the symptom of increasing memory usage dissapear because by doing so you have reduced the amount of traffic on the interface. Can you generate the same amount of throughput over the bridged interface without using BI and see if the same issue occurs...

    Lessons: A video doorbell camera is not enough.. Do not open your door, Do have more cameras, Do re-enforce your door, Do have lethal force ..

    Exactly this! I simply dont answer the door if im not expecting anyone. I check my cameras first using my phone to see if its anyone worth answering the door to (neighbour etc), if not they get ignored. I don't have time or the patience to listen to people trying to sell me stuff or pay into yet...

    Recordings have modified time in the future

    perhaps its a bug in the samba version running on your NAS. I had a similar issue years ago with FreeNAS. Any files moved via SMB share would have their modified date altered. Using Rsync did not see the same issue. I believe the issue was resolved when a later samba version was added to the...

    Fun times at the gas station ...

    those fools trying to get their next instagram "viral" video almost got taught a quick lesson in physics with the car coming at them. Amazed that with all the police there, people still calmly come and get petrol. Surprised the station didnt disable the pumps incase of damage. Didnt take long...

    Recordings have modified time in the future

    the year 2038 is significant alright, im sure i remember reading that there was another Y2k kind of bug for that year (2038). Was some 32bit limitation if memory serves. One to google when i get home :)

    hikvision ip cameras with dual stream

    I'm not sure i understand what you're asking. If you are asking something? If its asking about ability to record more than one stream to the local storage (SD card) and play that back from the camera UI, then I'm not sure as i don't do that. I record to BlueIris. A quick look at the recording...

    The better night cam

    I would read the above chart as; If buying a 720P Camera, make sure the physical size of the sensor is at least - 1/3" = .333" If buying a 2MP Camera, make sure the physical size of the sensor is at least - 1/2.8" = .357" (think a .38 caliber bullet) If buying a 4MP Camera, make sure the...

    Different views in UI3

    not sure if i have fully understood your goal but you could add the 6 cams that you want for 'monitor 1' into one group and add the other 6 cams you want for 'monitor 2' into another group. Then within the BI console, view your 'monitor 1' group and edit the layout to how you see fit. Do the...

    Cat 5e cable 10MBps instead of 1Gbps

    do you mean that your interfaces are auto negotiating to 10Mbps or do you mean you are testing the connection and maxing out at 10Mbps transfer rate? Try manually setting the interfaces to 1Gb for throughput testing, try iperf edit - also, try with a known good cable and compare results.

    New Home Wiring: Cat6 or Cat5 premade cables

    100% - Same in Ireland. Before they started taxing plastic bags. If your "better" half asked you to grab a plastic bag out of the "shit" drawer (every kitchen in the UK & Ireland has one ;)), if you pulled out a discount stores bag (Netto, Aldi, Lidl etc), you might receive a very disapproving...

    Cameras disconnecting pretty often. No idea?

    PC connected to same switch with cable or is there a router or Wireless access point in play? What happens if you unplug all but CAM 1? If no issue with single CAM present add another and check. Rinse repeat see what happens. Is there anything about CAM 1, 2, 4, 6 & 7 that sets them apart from...

    PTZ SD5A425XA-HNR

    Strange, im sure i've activated cams using that tool when my PC is on a different network range to the default 192.168.1.0/24 network. I just assumed it broadcast to 255.255.255.255. I'll have to check tomorrow. I've got another to activate so it will be a good excuse. Anyway, no need to climb...

    PTZ SD5A425XA-HNR

    ok didnt realise access was an issue to the PTZ. IMO Simplest way to do this now. On the PC/laptop that you will use for this, download and install Dahua Config tool. Connect Cable from PTZ to PoE switch Connect Cable from PoE switch to any device (PC/laptop with Dahua config tool installed on...
