    3D printer surveillance

    Nothing fancy. Just a Logitech C270 I got from target for $20 or so. I took the faceplate off and used some 3D printed parts to make a focus ring. The focus is glued in place but I found someone made a ring for it on Thingiverse. As well as the arm to hold it. Just peel the glue off and snap the...

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    Hopefully a fix comes but the firmware update to fix it will probably cause another issue like remove tracking. I’m going to save an image of win 10 with IE to fire up in a VM if they ever pull IE completely. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Censorship in times of Covid-19, great discussion: The Joe Rogan Dr Robert Malone interview

    His podcast has a 3 hour interview with him. Wife was watching it on YT and came back to finish but it was removed. Time to start downloading before they are gone! So far it’s still up on Spotify Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sky Timelapse Using the Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X

    That’s cool! I can’t say I’ve ever watched a Timelapse where you could see the clouds moving different directions in the atmosphere layers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Garbage Truck Catches On Fire

    That happened at one of our schools. A few of the companies have trucks that run on compressed natural gas. Driver said those tanks are right above the trash load. Better the pile burns in a parking lot than destroy the truck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Garbage Truck Catches On Fire

    Maybe it’s a hint. Start burning your garbage in the back yard. No more trucks stopping at your house! .. well maybe a fire truck or two!! On a positive note.. at least your driver stops for your trash. Ours has skipped us two weeks in a row. Called the first time and they sent him back around...

    Two new Dahua Turret Installs

    Very nice! I like the pole idea. I have a corner of my yard with nothing but a utility pole and a 4’ chain link fence. I’d like a camera over there but didn’t want to risk the utility company ripping it down if I put it on their post. I may use your idea, especially since you can run the wire...

    Hardware encode and Hardware acceleration

    Can’t recommend enough to go to sub streams! Saves resources and I have not noticed any drawbacks. I use ONVIF triggers from each cameras AI so it further reduced the load on my BI machine. It only has to process motion for 3-4 cameras. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Christmas Sales 2021

    Ordered some IPC-T3241T-ZAS yesterday through Amazon. Shipping said by Monday Dec 20 at checkout. Now says expected February 20th. I ordered 5 and it said only 5 were remaining. Andy, can you confirm the timeline? I’m not in a hurry but want to relay it to a guy I bought a couple for. Thanks...

    Toyota Plans to Charge You to Use Your Key Fob

    I can see it now with the way subscriptions are becoming the norm for everything. You’ll stop at a stop light, the car will chime “your driving subscription has just expired. To continue driving please renew through your app. Acceleration features start at $19.99/month. For even more features...

    Examples of network diagrams for IP PoE camera setups

    Here is an example running Blue Iris with a separate CCTV network. And two POE switches. In this case the second switch is for a detached garage, but the second switch could be just on the other end of the same building. I have a main switch, a second in my garage, and a third in the shed...

    Drug Dealer Takedown - 19 Arrests

    Probably the dealers own cameras. Most drug houses around here have cameras (stolen from the big box stores) to watch for police. And they don’t care about how they look so you see cords strung through trees and along siding without being stapled anywhere. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ha! It’s not as bad as he makes it seem! Just need a little soldering practice. I have plenty of regular string lights too! Soldered together the controllers myself! I have four of these, each controls 24 individual strands/channels of lights. All timed to music. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Christmas Sales 2021

    Another LPR example. It’s not so much a “plate reader” as just recording the cars going by. I highly recommend having one. If it weren’t for this capture I’d have no idea who the kid was that did some vandalism the other day. A nice clean face shot is great, and coupled with a plate number...

    I do have lights up all year! But mine blend into the house when off. Now you’d be impressed with the guy down the block who has an old string of C9 lights that is up all year but is never on. I suspect enough bulbs burned out he gave up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Oh god. I had not seen his lighting video. I just watched most of it. As to be expected he provides a mix of good and bad info. Started out ok and then just went downhill. As to be expected I’ve never heard of the controller he recommends or that software. And I am on three different Christmas...

    So I spoke to his dad on the phone this morning. He seemed ashamed for him and said they had a long talk. He was insistent that reimbursement was coming out of his kids own pocket. Kid came by this afternoon to apologize and gave us cash to replace frosty. Awkward apology, but an apology none...

    Police are great here and were eager to go find the kid. Sounds like his parents were not happy and offered to make him pay for a replacement. So we will see how that goes. As long as they make me whole I’m good. Only benefit to pressing charges would be restitution but if we can both skip the...
