    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Thank you for brining my point home in perfect fashion. Who did I sound like? Every single thing you said to me should have been said to President momo when he was running and we wouldn't be so divided and screwed up now. In fact a few republicans running against him did try and call out the...

    I finally figured out how to communicate in this thread so that everyone will believe me and believe in me and hang on my every word as gospel truth. Then you'll all see the light and your minds will be changed- a truly glorious day! (Excuse me...clear my throat) WRONG You know, many many...

    This vote mattered. It's gonna take a while to clear the shit storm of a reality TV president, but we'll get there. Some people kicking and screaming, but they'll get there too.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    A capital cop got murdered, or has that one been twisted into delusion too. Another cop was dragged and beaten to within an inch of his life. A woman was shot and killed while entering with a forceable mob, and that's very regrettable. A whole lot of people got caught up in something way more...

    If you were duly elected by the majority of the people and some of the ones who lost stormed the capital coming within an inch of hanging pence and murdering Pelosi and holding hostage the rest with the intent to assassinate, you were radicalized by the big lie, courtesy of the president and...

    So don't pay attention media pollsters? And you post a link to BREITBART!! LOLOLOL! OMG, too funny. Therein lies the problem folks. Your 'proof' is built on a foundation of lies piled one on top of the other. Believe me, behind closed doors they laugh at how easy it is to mislead for the sake of...

    LOL, you guys kill me man. I've debated republican friends and family for a very very long time. There's nothing I can say that will change your mind and vise versa, I know. So I spoke my mind and there you have it. Rock on- peace. I just lost a close friend to covid- stay safe out there...

    Bullshit. I'm a Democrat and when my lips move they're not lying. I've watched this lunacy in this thread for a while. In the words of my republican friends in 2016- Fuck you, you lost Stop whining like a little bitch You lost, get the fuck over it Take your ball and glove and go the fuck home...

    Broke my torx bit in a new T5442 set screw

    Yikes, hope it works out. Recently I had kinda the same hassel replacing the old analog cameras for the new ip cameras. I really underestimated how much of a bitch backing out the set screws would be after ten years. I replaced them with 2431's which has the plastic clip mounts. A freaking...

    Ivs ?

    Seems to depend on the scene. I generally have better success with intrusion but some larger scenes I support them with trips too. It's fiddly in certain scenes. Gotta fiddle till you get the best results.

    Recc external mount for WD purple

    Actually to my surprise it's a Seagate barracuda drive that was pre-installed in the dvr before shipment all those years ago. I'm guessing it's a 3.5" and for sure an hhd- standard for dvr/ NVR's I believe.

    PTZ motion/event detection while on tour?

    Tours and patrols can usually be interrupted to say, auto track something, but it will be a balance of allowable time for the interruption because once time is up or the event doesn't keep the cameras interest any longer it will return to the programmed tour that is set for the time period. That...

    Recc external mount for WD purple

    I have a 1tb that I took out my now defunct dvr. Perfectly good drive. I'd like to mount it in an external USB mount box and use it for computer duty now, not security recording. Any recommendations on the mount box? Would love it to be usb powered rather than a power supply but not a big deal...

    Alexa Guard

    So has anyone had false alarms with these two notifications in close proximity to TV's yet? These two sounds can happen on tv plenty. Maybe not smoke alarm sound but whiney sirens, sure. Glass breaking? Lots lol. Commercials that even say Alexa wake mine up. Just curious. Thanks.

    Anything I can replace my Ring with?

    It's this quick and easy shit that makes the ring doorbell so great. For all its awesomeness, dahua doesn't do this kind of fast notifications and interaction like ring. That's why the doorbell will remain ring.

    What is the best battery powered smart doorbell?

    The peephole camera depends on the willingness of the landlord to remove the existing peephole so the camera can be installed. Plus, it's a battery camera. The battery wears down quickly so a second battery needs to be purchased so there's no downtime while charging a battery. The biggest...

    What is the best battery powered smart doorbell?

    All battery doorbells suck. Don't waste your money on them. You can use the ring pro doorbell with a wall wart power adapter and run the wire along the baseboard/door jam and under the door without drilling holes. People do that all the time in apartments. 30 bucks a year for the subscription...

    Anything I can replace my Ring with?

    I have the ring pro doorbell. Love the thing. It's a doorbell camera. I don't expect or need anything from it other than what it does. Video quality is fine. Two way talk is awesome. Fast notifications and easy review is awesome. And 30 bucks a year for the history is nothing really. I dig the...

    Snow exposure settings

    As it turns out all the cameras were on auto for daytime, hense the dark image with snow all over. What's working right now is custom shutter range 0.1 (10000)- 33.33 (30). Actually it's working very well. Snow, that huge white mass of brightness sure can make more trouble than just shoveling lol.

    Snow exposure settings

    Yes I have custom range but I'd have to look at what I set it at. Been a long while since I did that.

    Snow exposure settings

    I have all my cameras set to custom exposure as per day/night and all is well until the snow arrives. It's mostly not a huge problem on sunny days but cloudy days because of all the snow makes the exposure for dark areas pretty dark- very contrast. Cars are ok but people lose a lot of detail...

    Is it a bad idea to shuffle IP cams to different ports on the back of my NVR?

    You can save custom favorites in the app with the order you prefer. Might work fine to just swap but me, I don't mess with cable swaps in the nvr. I make sure of the order during initial set up.

    Dahua IP Camera UDP traffic

    You should also change those TCP/UDP ports from their defaults. Regardless, I never leave the ports at default.

    Ring Mailbox sensor

    Perhaps? But ring users get the benefit of each accessory being folded into the ring eco system and so, that's the appeal, and of course the easy integration. I link the mailbox sensor with my doorbell video so every time the mailbox gets motion the doorbell records a video of it. Of course my...

    Ring Mailbox sensor

    I get motion notifications when the mail comes and when I check it at any time after. Today it was 6 minutes afterwards. Phone and echo notify. Make sure your signal strength is good and you might try turning motion for it off and then back on again and see if it clears up anything odd.
