    US-made brand?

    Ditch the idea that US/Canada-made are better because they're not. The only thing matters is you might be contributing more to the local economy. It's all about hiring, training, skill, working attitude, responsible, quality control... but not where.

    NVR what battery backup

    Been using 3 CyberPower 1500VA and 1350VA, 2 are PFC models. Never saw your problem that it did not start automatically which sound very strange to me because they always started right the way even after I or my kid unplugged the power accidentally and plugged it back. Never had a problem with...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Typical example of politics comes first and people second... or might be last. If the role of Democrats and Republicans were reversed, I believe Republicans would go against the travel ban also. Any politicians can be trusted?

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    I don't have Costco nearby, but Sam's Club nearby is doing the same by limiting people inside. But the best thing is using its app to check out. Just scan each item from the app and pay in the app, don't even need to line up, get close to anyone or touch the yucky handheld scanner to pay.

    Any hope for this AliExpress Shunchen camera?

    Are you sure it gets the plugin from Internet? For example, Foscam camera also have the plugin in the firmware, and when you open the local http link, it will asks you to install the plugin.

There are ways been tested to disinfect used masks including baking, spraying with alcohol, steaming, some were said to be OK by medical official. Here is the real washable masks by a...

    Any one use Free (unlicensed) Windows 10 w/ Blue Iris?

    What I don't understand is why paying a lot more for other software and hardware, but not that $50 for the underlying windows 10? because of a MS hater? If ones wants piracy, pirate everything.

    You can do BestBuy store curbside pickup, it might be just the same risk as delivering to your home. From another forum, people were rushing to Walmart to get cheapo pressure washers on clearnce :wtf:

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    I more believe in because testing isn't widely available and people are not being tested. Korea got many confirmed cases once they started testing aggressively, but that's the way to find any potential risk to stop it from spreading. Any that's how it looks when America started doing more...

    Idea from a Japanese comics 28 years ago, and have 2 live-action movies in recent years. Someone wore like that when I was at Anime Expo (Los Angeles) a couple years back. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61yGCN8i%2BcL._SL500_AA300_.jpg https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/究極!!変態仮面

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    That's a good point. Many are still thinking covid-19 is like flu. Just read news that an American expert said covid-19 will come back next season because it can't be eliminated this season. What? there is no evidence it is seasonal, it causes chaso wherever it goes, east, west, hot and cold...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    It was first called Wuhan Pneumonia in Chinese, even by official media in China until the government found "Wuhan" became the headline around the world. Technically, the name isn't correct, but might raise better awareness? (And the media are now doing the back to the future thing, editing all...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Seriously no. Same as what's happening in NY, many people or families died out of the hospital weren't counted to the death toll. They don't need more fear for control, because they had experienced the fear from SARS and CCP has absolutely control of people already. The local authorities...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Banning export of medical supplies is nothing new, nothing about Trump. Taiwan is the first in banning export of surgery grade masks in January, while first getting criticized even from their own people, it's proved to be successful move to counter the outbreak and praised by the people. They...

    Amcrest SmartHome Video Doorbell Camera AD110

    Hi @MakeItRain Just got the AD110. I tried to add it to Dahua gDMSS Plus (Android version of iDMSS I assume), however, after entering admin/<password> with Add Mode as "P2P" (which is fixed, can't change) and Save, it always gave Connection Failed error. Did you add it to iDMSS using P2P mode...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    My post was in no way to defend the China government (CCP), however, I'm defending the effort, which got undermined in discussion, everyone including the residents and CCP and other governments had put in fighting (not the covering and media control part) the virus when other are just focusing...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    I have been following the Asia news since January as I came from SARS region and know how bad that could be. While the numbers in China is certainly under-reported, that can be due to a lot of factors. There are culture and technical reasons. First, people hadn't gotten diagnosed didn't...

    Anyone got this Yoosee doorbell working with ONVIF NVR with 2 way audio? (not Blue Iris or software) Want to see if it can be used only wired with my Dahua NVR.

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    From the connections, it looks like it's a relay more than a fancy name "power regulator", it doesn't seem there is power regulating here. Correct me if I'm wrong. The relay NO/COM connection acts as original door bell mechanical button. NO is normally open. When there is trigger, NO becomes...

    Why do you have TWO cameras in one location.

    I do have a question. PTZ helps when you're watching the video and checking what you want in realtime. However, for most crime the video are checked after it had happened, how would zoom camera help as it's fixed in a limited view spot unless your interest happened to be in that spot.

    AD110 Doorbell Camera

    Am I missing something? Isn't Amcrest AD110 a rebadge of Dahua DB11? https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/amcrest-smarthome-video-doorbell-camera-ad110.44016/ It should also work with Dahua iDMSS Plus or clones. I just ordered that at from Walmart.com for $90, will see if that will work for me in...

    Now THIS is a bit too much for my budget....

    If that can check for anyone who has mild fever to come nearby so to avoid contacting any virus, that might worth it ;)

    Surprised so many people are OK with WPA2-PSK

    There are a lot of coincidents to get the worse case scenario. There has to be a neighbor, who has the knowledge, who has the time, who has the interest.... I have more things to worry about in my life, probably easier to die in a car crash than having a nosy neighbor peeping on my cameras.

    New House - What Doorbell & Camera System

    If it's building a new house, it's the best time to wire Cat6A or Cat7 ethernet cable all around the house. A mesh system with wired backhaul will give the most reliable connection. And the same reason, a POE system will be better than a wifi system, which can also easily defeated by wifi...

    Dahua NVR 2108 with Foscam IP cameras (ONVIF). Motion detection not working

    Thanks, I did play with the port numbers in the NVR setup before but didn't work, now I set the NVR's camera's HTTP port (didn't know it means OVNIF port) to Foscam's ONVIF port 888 then it's working. Same as OP said, I've set using motion detection recording in both camera and also NVR, the...

    Dahua NVR 2108 with Foscam IP cameras (ONVIF). Motion detection not working

    Do you have the instruction to add Foscam cams to Dahua NVR? I'm trying to add a few Foscam, some older outdoor cams and some newer indoor like R2C, to a Dahua NVR without success (It's Montavue brand, it should be quite new with 4K and IVS, link) The NVR can detect the cams by ONVIF but there...

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    I'm looking for a doorbell for my Dahua NVR setup. I prefer using wired network to the doorbell and seems this is the only one that can do that? (other Hikvision and Dahua are all wifi) So, can this doorbell connect to Dahua NVR using ONVIF? or have to be manually setting RTSP links? And it...

    Amcrest UltraHD 4K (8MP) Outdoor Security IP Turret PoE Camera, 3840x2160, 164ft NightVision, 2.8mm Lens, IP67 Weatherproof, MicroSD Recording (128GB)

    It's in August to Early Sept, 2019. Could be even earlier than August as I got warning from Kaspersky at least a few weeks before I made a purchase in Sept that unfortunately I ignored the warning from Kaspersky.
