    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    The gap between the camera body and frame connected to the base. I couldn't remember if it was that wide on the first camera... Like @hmjgriffon stated, I don't see the point of the junction box then. We don't get a lot of rain here but it seem that it would all funnel into the junction box. I...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I got 2 Cams delivered (not from Andy) and I don't recall the first looking like this during set up. The first cam is taken apart and being painted for the front door so I can't check... Is that gap a little wide or is that normal?

    Painting Camera

    @nayr Does spray paint stick better or is it just easier? In our new place I finally got Home Depot to paint match our house but I'd have to brush it on. This camera will have no direct sunlight contact at the front door

    cheapest place to get BI

    Good to know, did not know that and fingers crossed mine stays full license. This ebay seller has been at it since 2009 selling ip cameras and software. I'd have to think the developer is getting his cut somehow... hopefully.

    Next step in securing your home!

    The cats will be an issue more than the dogs. We've got a 90lb Carolina Dog and 10lb Chihuahua that don't sent off our motion detectors. I've got it turned upside down though so the beam shoots straight ahead and up instead of down where they run by it to the front door. If there is a area...

    Ubiquiti AP Pro VS Lite

    Ya, I guess I didn't think about it before asking. Its the same with my Time capsule extended by an airport express or any extender period. I am unable to run a wire from where my office is to where I need to place the extender/AP. Maybe the Amplifi or Orbi is a better option.

    Dell X1018P Switch thoughts

    I can pick up a Dell X1018P managed switch from friend for $65. Its strange as they are $750+ from the dell store but I see them for around $125 new on eBay. Does anyone have experience with this one? Is it a decent switch or should I steer clear? Right now I'm gearing up for a 5 camera...

    Optiplex SFF 2nd HDD question

    I jumped on a 3040 SFF i7-6700 for 415 shipped from the dell outlet. I think I saw you mention in another thread that the 3040's don't have the second m2 slot right?

    Optiplex SFF 2nd HDD question

    Oh yeah... I was just wanted to possibly use the HDD it comes with instead having to purchase a SSD. But the SSD having no moving parts is why they are doing that... makes total sense...

    Optiplex SFF 2nd HDD question

    I've seen some threads where users are adding an internal SSD taped/velcroed internally. Is there enough room to move the 3.5" thin HDD it comes with to that area instead? Thanks
