    The case of the delivery that wasn't

    Here's what actually happened: He grabbed a package, and instead of scanning it, he marked the hand-held electronic ticket as delivered. He then realized he had the wrong package before reaching the door. He was unsure of where the correct package was, so he just put the one in hand back into...

    Is Rob from Chilliwack on here?

    WOW... Just WOW! How do you combat that much crime and craziness? This was scary, mesmerizing and entertaining all at once.

    Pursuit

    I counted 8 patrol cars on that chase. My first thought is how serious of a crime was it that required that much commotion and resources?

    Question about iVMS-4200 Usage

    My bottom line question is would it be wise to keep the iVMS-4200 client running while I'm using my Windows 10 PC for other stuff? Or, should iVMS-4200 be the only thing running on the PC? Background: I have the iVMS-4200 client on my Windows 7 PC, but rarely use it while logged in. The reason...

    Neighbors upset by my cameras. Help?

    I'm now convinced that my earlier assessment of your neighbor may be right ... They're doing something strange and/or illegal which is why they're concerned about your cameras. The fact that they didn't show for the HOA hearing, which they instigated, indicates (in my mind) that they realized...

    Neighbors upset by my cameras. Help?

    I believe the advice others have given you is solid (attend HOA mtg, listen, explain, keep calm, etc.) However, having said that, what gets my attention with this neighbor is their degree of concern about whether they are being recorded. Also, the extent to which they're going through to stop...

    What's the difference between using a POE NVR and POE Switch?

    I'm no expert, but here's my simplistic understanding of switches and NVRs: Basically, a switch just assigns LAN IP addresses to your camera. Although, you can get to each of your cameras on the LAN via its IP address, at some point the switch needs to be tied into a system that allows you to...

    Swann NHD-818 4MP in blue iris

    @happymanny, I suspect that you are out of luck. Per SWANN, the NHD-818 only works with the NVR-7400. My best guess is that the NHD-818 is the 4MP version of the NHD-815 (which is 3MP). Based on my experience with the NHD-815 (which only works properly with SWANN's proprietary NVR-7300) the...

    Reolink RLC-410 Compatible NVR

    I suspect your RLC-410 cameras will work with the SWANN 7300 series NVR, although I can't guarantee that. The 7300 series uses SWANN NHD-815 cameras which are identical to ReoLink's RLC-410 (I discovered this by accident). Word of Caution: Both the RLC-410 and NHD-815 are rebranded cameras from...

    How many of you have cameras inside for intruder detection?

    I suggest you use interior cameras. Place them to cover as much square footage as possible on every level, as well as key entry points. Don't restrict yourself by worrying about privacy or recording someone running around in their undies (unless you have those hackable wi-fi cameras). After...

    My SWANN NHD-815 Experiment

    I gave up on audio. I hadn't planned for separate audio runs when I originally ran my Ethernet cables. And, I wasn't willing to tear out walls again to fish audio feeds. That is why I was originally excited about a POE camera with a builtin microphone from SWANN. Unfortunately, SWANN (and...

    Limb falls from tree - bye bye patio table

    The message of that fallen branch is ... "Get rid of the tree!" It's obviously way too close to the house and will eventually cause a lot of expensive property and personal damage. I'm not so sure that someone could survive a hit like that. This is why I don't like trees anywhere near my house...

    parking garage thief again

    Good job catching the thief. What I also notice is that most of the cops look like they are rejects from a Pillsbury Doughboy audition? They need to cut back on the doughnuts. Abortions before they enter the world is a better solution.

    Kids and mobile phones

    I'm sure you'll agree that carrying around a computer or bluetooth keyboard is not very practical. I'm happy with my phone's physical keyboard ... extinct or not!

    Kids and mobile phones

    I'm OK with touchscreen interfaces, but I hate touchscreen keyboards. This is the phone I have. It's an LG Optimus F3Q (aka LG D520) and has a hidden physical keyboard in addition to the touchscreen keyboard. I love it because it's not too big and I'm not forced to deal with the...

    The problem I worry about.

    At least now you know what time during the night these punks are causing havoc. Maybe you can stake them out and surprise them with a shotgun pointed at their eyes. That will definitely get them to think twice about whether stealing Christmas decorations is worth it. They will also spread the...

    Noob Question on the wiring of ip camera plastic shield(?)

    Somehow, I knew someone would comment on the crimp job!!! It was a quick sample from scrap cable that I made for the pictures. Otherwise, my crimps are done right. But, thanks for your input. In any event, the point of the pictures was to show the order of installing the parts.
