    Britain is Lost

    I had to Google that specific instance, as I'm not familiar, seems he only got a phone call, not "jailed" as the X algo likes to suggest? I didn't watch the YT vid so correct me if I'm wrong. Most sane people I interact with in the UK would be of the opinion that a call or physical visit from...

    Britain is Lost

    Proving what though? that Britain is somehow "Lost"? You never owned it, so how could you have lost it? You do realise that there's a disconnect between what the weird algo is feeding you (and Musk, by the tweets I've seen he's made) and reality. Nobody is saying there's not a bunch of pedos...

    Britain is Lost

    Exactly, don't give Reddit, fuckbook, instasham, titstok or X-twitter your time/data. They just harvest it and use powerful algorithms to hook you in and brainwash you. Once you're addicted, and have reduced capacity to think for yourself, you're in their hands. It's a method of controlling the...

    Britain is Lost

    The memes highlight exactly why the government and politics is fucked (not just the UK, USA suffers from it too; both sides just generate a bunch of images with captions to suit their agenda. It's like a less smelly version of animals in a zoo throwing turds at each other, what the fuck is it...

    Britain is Lost

    Can't seem to quote specific replies on this forum(?). Nobody is being jailed for memes, stop peddling garbage designed for the gullible. Where the fuck did critical thinking skills go, I swear it's done deliberately to stop the population thinking for themselves. On the topic of this thread...

    My Question Is How?

    Britain is Lost

    I'm not sure where you got that idea from? People are free to say no to imigation, look at the speeches from Kemi Badenoch for example- she is strongly for limiting immigrants. However, what is not allowed is to accuse a race of various wrongs. For example (and please don't take offence): If...

    Britain is Lost

    Guys, as an actual Brit living in the UK, (greater London)... Don't believe everything you see on teevee... (Or social media). As much as I like what he's done for engineering, I don't think Musk should get involved in politics, especially those of other countries... for example, his support...

    Thanks for the reassurance and support! I think those Altech glands I posted are more readily available in the US. They're expensive but if they fit as well as people say they do, I'd say they're worth it- I've just priced up my bodged method to about £2 ($2.5) per connector plus a bunch of time...

    What a trial this is turning out to be! I know this is the "unpopular opinion" but I can completely understand why WiFi and or proprietary cameras are popular now! Perhaps if I were to do this over, I'd just double up on "bad" Google/reolink/etc cameras and I'd still be in a better situation...

    Roast My Design Plan, Or Suggest Improvements :)

    I'm also just starting out, so take my thoughts with a pinch of salt... I've just received the T54IR-ZE-S3 from Andy at Empiretech and haven't yet had a chance to play with them set them up. I went with the varifocal option because I'm not yet sure how "zoomed in" I can get away with and still...

    Solar battery ip cam diy

    That's a neat setup, I assume this is for security on a construction site? I'd stick with the setup for a bit (especially coming into winter if you're in Northern hemisphere) and make a call on whether it is "good enough". Must have a few more days of data by now, how's it holding up? Might...

    Solar battery ip cam diy

    I looked at a panel setup for car camping a while back, if I remember correctly, normally MPPT charge controllers require a voltage greater than the battery- so the Ubiquiti equipment is quite unusual. The input range for the SM-SP-40 is 10-60V, max. 10A, so you'd have to add a second one of...

    Hurrah! Cameras have arrived! Weather was pretty windy today, don't fancy being a delivery driver at the best of times, let alone bad weather. Surprised by how fast delivery was, really great service from Andy- I've not even placed an order for cable and connectors (is that the correct term...

    Okay, PC arrived yesterday, not yet unboxed it as I still need to order rest of the system (cameras on their way, but I'm hunting for some black Friday deals on SD cards and HDD). Looking to order a cheap, single port, POE injector for setting up cameras at my desk before actually mounting them...

    I've sent a message to EmpireTech Andy for 3x 54IR-ZE cams. Now need to find some offers to pick up hard drive and SD cards, ethernet cable and a network switch! This is an expensive month

    Thank you for the suggestion! As @wittaj points out, these are 8MP. While I did mention the colour 4K in my initial post, which I believe is 8MP, it also has a 1/2" sensor. I do appreciate the suggestions though because as you can tell, I'm starting from a very low state of knowledge here!

    Thanks! I've tried search function to find reccomended cards, but it didn't turn up much. WD do purple SD cards, purportedly for surveillance systems, do you know if these are these any good? Or is it just marketing crap?

    And while I'm asking noob questions, is there any benefit (or is it required?) to install a SD card in these cameras? I've decided on an N100 based PC with 16 or 32Gb (unofficially supported) of RAM, with SATA interface to run a WD Purple HDD drive for 24/7 recording and a 120gb+(ish) SDD for...

    Camera recommendations, urban area

    This is a good suggestion, I'd actually looked at these and thought about them but had convinced myself that I could get away with fixed lenses... I think you're correct that the additional cost for the zoom is going to prove worthwhile. These are now the cams I'll most likely go with, unless I...

    Hi all, my introduction post was a year ago and life got in the way, am now ready to pull the trigger on some camera (and PC/network hardware). I live in Greater London, there has been various low-level anti-social behaviour on the street (vehicle damage, graffiti etc) over the last 12 months...

    UK (London) here to learn and set up a system!

    Back again almost exactly a year later; cameras and geeking out took second place to getting the whole house rewired, repair of penetrating damp, painting, decorating... It's a long list! I'm probably going to pull the trigger on 3 IPC-T54IR-ZE-SE 1/1.8". I've a streetlight where my short...

    Help with deciding which camera to go with...

    This is a super helpful thread! I'm also in the market for cameras again (after c.12months), and can't decide between the IPC-54-IR-ZE-S3 or the IPC-Colour4K-1/1.2 with 3.6mm lens. I'll try and get some photos uploaded, my biggest concern is the front of the house which has a streetlight, so...

    UK (London) here to learn and set up a system!

    Hi all, long time lurker, will start posting as I might need some ideas for camera setup as part of a new home network setup. In process of moving from SW England to London. Going to be starting from scratch, I want my set up to be "secure", thinking about a decent access point (possibly...

    $190 Budget advice. Wide angle, very dark.

    Not Dahua but when you register for an account on rfcomponents.co.uk, (free, open to anyone), you can see prices of Hikvision cams. I've found it useful to do price comparisons, when I started, I didn't know if xyz cam was £150 or £450.
