    It would be a great world if the end user didn’t need to access it...but HR disagrees ;)

    Advantages of a NVR Vs. Blue Iris and a PC?

    Actually, now that I’ve thought about this for a little bit...I have BI at home, but have installed 6 NVRs for my businesses, I have found that leaving behind an NVR in situations I do not intend to manage to be better solutions. BI is better from an experienced user POV, but NVRs are easier...

    Advantages of a NVR Vs. Blue Iris and a PC?

    Thanks. I wasn’t knocking BI nor DVRs, I use both. But was asking about people’s behaviors and how the streams were delivered. Thank you for your feedback. I’ll look at multi-cast item.

    Advantages of a NVR Vs. Blue Iris and a PC?

    Does anyone run an NVR for headache feee 24/7 recording, and use Blue Iris as a way to play with their toys? Any reason two devices on the network cannot record the same streams? Do the cameras broadcast a single stream over the network that can be seen by multiple devices? Or does each...

    Issue using LastPass to login to Dahua cameras

    After it fills in the fields, try adding a space or other character then backspace it out. Do for both fields. Sometimes the websites don’t notice the auto fills and assume they are still blank until the field is activated.

    Wireless HDMI

    @eggsan Is this the same as HDMI over IP? Someone once told me they can reach their HDMI source in the network rack from any TV in house. I’ve been looking to replicate but can’t seem to find an affordable solution. It would be great to leave the TIVO and the Antenna connections in the rack.

    REVIEW- Dahua SD1A404XB-GNR 4MP AI mini PTZ

    Hi guys. I’m about to pick up a couple of these. Will the AI male the PTZ zoom in on a person? Or is the AI to just tell the difference between a person and a car before it triggers?

    Junction boxes and rain

    @Q™ Thank you for the information. I tried searching Home Depot for this, but could not find a product searching for Coax Seal. Is there another name I can search? Or do I need to just order it from Amazon

    Dell Form Factor Sizes

    My wife test drove AutoCad on it. It worked fine for her purposes, so it won’t be a complete loss. If I can find the HDD cage and it not cost too much, we’ll call it a win.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I have no need for the door bell to record 24/7. I just need it to be a doorbell, recognize movement that is not trees and cars, and let me talk to the person on the other side of the door...and for my wife to feel good using it. I've had it for over a month with lost of amazon Christmas...

    Dell Form Factor Sizes

    @mech Thanks for the info and your help. Are you basically saying to adhere the SSD to the 3.5" drive? Do you happen have a link handy to the appropriate blue tray? I'll ask Dell support to send it to me for free in lieu of taking back the system.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I gave up on doorbells connected to my NVR. I bought Eufy 2K with a coupon and got it for $100. It works very very very well. And, after I installed the Eufy skill, everyone of my Alexa devices (10) tells me someone is at the door ;) so it also fixed the issue of my needing to run extra chimes...

    Dell Form Factor Sizes

    So, I wrote dell about this before I purchased. They said the 3.5" HDD would fit along side the 2.5" SSD. Any thoughts where this would go? See attached. My wife needs the optical drive, so I'd hate to take it away from her. Or is this the instance where I need to forgo the optical drive and...

    Does anyone have a link that clearly defines the Dell Form Factors? What is the smallest form factor that will hold an SDD and a 3.5” drive? I cannot tell of the Small Form Factor will accommodate both. Thanks for your help.

    Junction boxes and rain

    I just fried my Dahua SD59225U-HNI ($500) when the tornadoes came through the Dallas area, water got into the junction box. I thought it was sufficiently sealed, and I had wrapped the connection with electrical tape. Had I not tightened the cable gland, the water would have drained out. How...
