    Car Spinning Donuts On The Corner

    Looks like a Miata? Convertible. The guy installed a roll cage at least. I taught performance driving at local race tracks for years. One drill was "Controlled Oversteer", where the driver must have the rear end hung out while going 360 degrees around a traffic cone. The car would point to...

    Guy checking my car door.

    My wife has a Kia Soul, green. Very common car, we see 'em all the time. One time we were walking from a store back to our car, arms loaded w/ packages. We walked up to a green Kia Soul, thinking it was ours. The key fob didn't work. Anxious to get going, we tried the key. A guy walks up and...

    How can I reassign camera numbers in NVR?

    It's been almost 2 yrs since I went through the re-assigning of cams. Details are fuzzy. a) Resetting the cam to factory default willl change its IP addr, but not the mac addr. Maybe the NVR recognized the MAC addr. b) my NVR doesn't have built-in poe, so it differs from yours. c) I did a...

    Need Help With Camera Choices Please

    Check the camera calculator at ipvm. Search here for link. It uses google maps, and you overlay the cam onto your house. It shows how much detail the cam picks up at every distance, and the FOV for the lens size you pick. I second looney2ns - the cliff notes are awesome! Good luck! Fastb

    Will my ISP Changing my IP stop a current hack?

    You were found before. If your ISP gives you a new addr, you'll be found again. Mr_D is correct. It seems you're going down a path of "Security through Obscurity" ie: using a new external IP addr will obscure you from the bad guys on the internet. In the immortal words of an earlier revered...

    Young Raccoons Learning To Climb

    Too funny! Lulu, that gate needs a 'coon door. Or a 'coon ramp near the gate. Akin to a wheel chair ramp!

    The Big Hack: How China Used a Tiny Chip to Infiltrate U.S. Companies

    @Mr_D Fair comment. Bringing the manufacture of PCBs and products to us or our allies could help. But what if the capability of those chinese chips was integrated into microprocessors themselves? a) a chip designer (with loyalty to China) could be inside at Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, etc. And embed...

    The Big Hack: How China Used a Tiny Chip to Infiltrate U.S. Companies

    The article covered many things uncovered in 2015 and 2016. ie: a long time ago. How far has the Chinese technology come since then? One glimpse: Amazon later found chip with "more sophisticated designs than they’d previously encountered. In one case, the malicious chips were thin enough that...

    IVS triggering for some cameras

    IIRC, some cams needed me to surf to the cams to set up IVS rules, as versus using the NVR to set up the lines. For my starlight, some IVS capability wasn't visible using the NVR. But using the cam's UI, I could see all the features. My conclusion was the integration of newer cameras and...
