    Just a bit breezy out

    keep her away from brooms. The way she rode that door means she might be a natural to ride brooms! Wait till she reads Harry Potter! The little girl is composed. Doesn't drop the phone. Doesn't let go of the door. She was tugged at 150% of weight, judging by the 45 degree angle of her "flight"

    Miscellaneous Critter Captures

    Coyotes pass through my yard at night. Here's clips where a coyote, with emptty mouth, entered my backyard, and 3 minutes later, left with a meal in his mouth. Coyote makes a kill in the backyard - YouTube One cam, aimed at the driveway, is far enough & high enough to not concern coyotes...

    Live view not working?

    I used to use Firefox. But after a Firfox update, the plug in stopped working. Others reported the same thing. Folks here steered me to Pale Moon, and that worked..... YMMV

    Dahua and choppy video?

    my time problem was after daylight savings time. So there was an hour difference, far greater than a 1 to 5 second difference. I couldn't playback anything between midnight and 1am. And also had a problem where the playback jumped backwards between 10 and 30 minutes. This doesn't sound exactly...

    Dahua and choppy video?

    PmediciJ, Thanks for the reply. Personally, finding symptoms by reading a paragraph is trickier then using a table of symptoms. Please don't expect us all to read paragraphs, absorb them, and then remember them for upcoming interactions. Especially since this thread has two people with similar...

    Dahua and choppy video?

    Check the time stamps. Compare the time stamp in the recorded video to the time shown in the plaback timeline, and on the alarms that tripped. I had playback problems when one cam didn't get updated for Daylight Savings time.

    Dahua and choppy video?

    Pmedicij: I just realized you're not the Original Poster. Albertolt: You have similar problems, but it seems there are differences. Symptoms: Playback: --- Web interface to NVR: no problem. Web browser video is smooth --- Native interface in NVR: choppy video using monitor directly...

    Dahua and choppy video?

    If you disconnect one cam, do the symptoms get reduced? ie: one cam is easier for the NVR to manage, vs 2.

    How to Constantly Ping in a CMD Prompt | Techwalla.com But let's put that on hold, ie: this doesn't sound like a network problem. More like an overly taxed cam or NVR, especially that the symptoms are reduced when you disable MD

    Dahua and choppy video?

    I'll take that to mean the web interface to the NVR, not a web interface to the cam. Good info. Connect the laptop to the same subnet of the cams, and surf in to the cam directly, using the cam's ip addr. But let's put that test on hold, based on the info in your last post. And I withdraw my...

    Dahua and choppy video?

    Are you using IVS? When a tripwire is crossed, there can be a short lag. Can you connect the cam to a laptop? If so, do the symptoms change? This test could isolate the problem to the camera or NVR. Did you make your own cables? How long are the runs? How many co/nnections along the run...

    Disappointing - RESOLVED!

    @usernameismyusername , You're a newbie. So the forum will cut you some slack. And as you said, you're really busy. @usernameismyusername: you threw a shit bomb, with your original post (OP), then walked away from your OP. That's lame. You, as an OP, have a responsibility to check on...

    Black Color Camera

    Andy, If Dahua makes a black cam, will it be anodized black? Or painted black? Some reasons for asking: - anodized black has a different color than painted black. Sorta shiny. - anodized black may be cooler in direct sunlight than painted black. So I'm curious what Dahua has opinions on...

    Disappointing - RESOLVED!

    You lobbed a complaint, and disappeared. A "Forum" requires interaction, especially if posting negative stuff. A fair dialogue should follow on this interactive forum. 47 days later, you re-surface. And are surprised by the reaction to your very negative initial post. We're mean! We're...

    I bet I have something that you don't have.

    Even the shady guy approaching the front door, with a cap and a lowered head, still yields the "money shot", due to ideal camera placement. Maybe an ipcamtalk hoodie is needed, lol! Fastb

    High Speed Pursuit - Police Shoot Thru Windshield

    Besides a hands free radio, a GPS loction feed from the PD car to dispatch would help. Multiple times the PO reports what street he's on, and the cross streets their passing. Some technology would allow the PO to concentrate on driving, two hands on wheel. And having pursuit primary in his...

    alternative to dahua NVR

    Look up fan replacement options. Some folks run a replacement fan at half speed. There are some hack solutions out there, since fan noise is objectionable to some, and they came up with alternatives.

    Pretty boring here lately, so here's some bunnies doing laps

    Riveting wasn't the word that came to mind. That was a riveting as watching fish swimming in a fish tank! A riveting soundtrack would be a nice addition. Or real audio. Something startled the cats a few times... Here's a riveting video of 2 coyotes sauntering up my driveway early this morning....

    Pretty boring here lately, so here's some bunnies doing laps

    This coyote spotted at 4:45am today, in my driveway. It's not unusual. There's a den in my backyard, though I've never looked for it. Lotsa folks in my Seattle neighborhood are intimidated or scared when they spot a coyote, which is rare since the 'yotes are so stealthy. I didn't see any on...

    A few mods here and there and you get a cartel truck

    mpt Hmmm The DoS used stock rims (wheels) But they'd use whatever fit in, appearnce-wise. In my viewing, the tires weren't flat. There's many type of tires used. Ranged from full rubber, to run-flats, with bands on the inside to allow the truck to drive with no tire air. Civilian observations...

    A few mods here and there and you get a cartel truck

    Not sure why it's labelled as a "Cartel Truck" ?? The US Gov't and other gov'ts use armored and semi-armored vehicles. In a previous life, I worked for a firm that provided cams and NVRs for Dept of State. To mate our system with their vehicle, they lent us an armored Suburban. There are many...

    Successful alternate use of POE splitter

    To be clear about the ethernet splitter: It splits the 8 conductor cat cable, sending 4 conductors into two conventional 8 conductor cat cables? This type of splitter is traditionally used to "double up" on a single cat cable to connect two ethernet devices to a single cat cable run. Another...

    Feral Cat Shelter

    Cats are clean. 'Coons will crap where they sleep. We had a semi-smart cat door. The cat's collar would have a magnet mounted on it, to unlock the cat door, so the cat could push IN the door inwards, to reach food bowl in the garage, and a sleeping bed. The raccoons figured out they could hook...

    It wasn't her day to die

    Report says: She works in food industry (explains the apron), where drinks were served. She said she had a few before leaving work. Brings back memories: In 1978, working my way thru college, I had a job at a bar/restaurant. A nice fringe benefit: you ate and drank for free while working...
