    On behalf of The Internet I'd like to apologize in advance for the n00bs who will no doubt be blaming you for bricking their cameras. And a sincere Thank You for the rest of us who understand that you're just trying to help.

    Disk Full/Over-Allocated after power failure

    BI 5.9.48/x64. OS and db on an internal SSD. New stored to 8500 GB of a 4-disk, 9.08 TB external Storage Space/JBOD over USB with daily compact/reindex: Normally this works fine, and my storage is nearly "full" (as reported by BI) with a buffer of ~400 GB of real empty disk space (as...

    BI Computer, POE Switch, and Router at Remote Location?

    Good idea. I haven't checked yet, but this is also a reasonably dense neighborhood with lots of poles, so I think I might even have a choice of ISPs. If yes, even if I can't get a "Unit 0" account, I can probably get an account in the name of Unit C and then have it billed to me. But I'll check...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Chimes arrived Monday. I plugged them both in, and pairing was quick and simple. Both are working. Props to Reolink to allow the pairing procedure entirely from within the app, e.g. I didn't have to walk outside to press the buttons!

    BI Computer, POE Switch, and Router at Remote Location?

    Upon second look, that's a i7-9700T. How much performance do I give up with a T processor? How would an 8-core, i7-9700T compare with the 4-core, i7-6700 that's running my 24 cameras at <<<20% CPU right now? This little computer would be running 8-10 cameras, max, at this remote location.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    BI can send focus in/out commands to my RLC-423, but the focus implementation is so bad, an the latency is so large, that it's effectively useless. So I "focus" my camera by hitting the Zoom in/out button for a quick click. This triggers another autofocus cycle, and that occasionally works.

    BIG Owl on my Trail

    It does look like it, doesn’t it? But I live in suburban Los Angeles, and I’ve never heard of a ringtail being seen here. Doesn’t mean it can’t happen, though.

    Coyote with Prey, Thoroughbred Trail, 07/27/24, 2 The tail on this one looks like a raccoon, but a small one.

    Coyote with Prey, Thoroughbred Trail, 07/27/24, 1 The ears and long legs look like a rabbit, to me.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    A huge part of my motivation for trying out the alternative chime was because Reolink wasn’t selling extra chimes separately. That problem appears to be fixed: https://www.amazon.com/Reolink-Chime-Compatible-Doorbell-Multiple/dp/B0CYGP6P1P it doesn’t specifically say 915 MHz, but it says it’s...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Has anyone found a 3rd-party 915 MHz RF receiver that works with the Reolink WiFi doorbell? My experiment with the 1800Doorbells receiver was a failure.

    Enough Lens/Camera for LPR?

    Jeebus. I'd have monitored those cameras for only $2,400/year.

    Enough Lens/Camera for LPR?

    What's the deal with Flock? I see from above that their reputation is for "expensive," but how about functionality? Are they good cameras? Some other taxpayer is paying for these :highfive:, so the cost doesn't bother me :p

    Enough Lens/Camera for LPR?

    They're in. Anyone recognize the model? The downside is that I have no access to the video. The upside is that LE does, and I had to do zero work, and contributed zero dollars.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    It's fine. My parents hardly ever get packages. They just want to see who's at the door.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    So I did the swap yesterday, and I think I might be able to exonerate the AD110, because the Reolink camera wouldn't stay on, either, when I first connected it to the doorbell wiring (after having done initial setup via the included wall wart). I put a voltmeter on the wires, and there was no...

    BIG Owl on my Trail

    Coyote with Rabbit, Thoroughbred Trail, 07/16/24 Another coyote with prey. This time I'm pretty sure it's a rabbit, based on the ears.

    BIG Owl on my Trail

    Tail-less Raccon on Thoroughbred Trail, 07/15/24 Two chonky raccoons strolling by. The second one seems to have lost its tail, possibly to a coyote. But it doesn't seem to bother them.
