    BackStreet-Surveillance on Youtube; Am I being toooo critical of the information he is giving?

    I always enjoy reading a hot topic thread on a Friday. :headbang: If one ignores the premise of this thread for a moment. It should be very clear the vast majority of uneducated consumers like fast. This view is affirmed & bolstered by the tens of millions of cloud based services and P2P...

    Spray Foam Insulation makes house not able to be sold

    I haven’t read the article yet but people should understand open vs closed cell foam is completely different. You don’t use open cell foam because it allows moisture to build up. Lots of people in our area have used this stuff with mixed results. 90% of the installs are only on the walls...

    Drop ceiling recessed light style mounts for turret cams (generic of Hikvision)?

    I saw someone do exactly what you’re asking for as the other member suggested. In the one example photo all they did was cut a hole just large enough so the base ring was used to hold the camera in place and falling through. In another photo he simply cut out a ring from a tile and stacked it...

    I went on vacation for 3 weeks

    Im not here to be cool or to be your friend. I’m here to provide information, knowledge. If I learn something along the way in this forum that’s great. Regardless, you’ve taken the time to upload two photos of a tap?!? In the same time you just wasted you could have reviewed the logs from: BI...

    Surge protection installation.

    You would start by using certified outdoor rated shielded cable, connectors, patch panel, couplers. All of this would be bonded to a single point low resistance earth grounding point in your electrical service panel. There must be at least three feet of Ethernet cable before the camera. That...

    You’re right I was being hostile toward you because I was dealing with an asshole at that moment. I should not have berated you as I did when you came to the forum looking for help. For that I do apologize . . . :thumb: As to mocking you - No It would be very clear if I was doing so...

    Can someone illegally access my used NVR if they know the verification code?

    You’re one of those people I have to deal with almost everyday! :facepalm: You know just enough to be dangerous. :rolleyes: Reading some of your replies and comments just oozes dip shit. :smash:

    I went on vacation for 3 weeks

    Having read your initial post I still have no clue what you’re trying to say or inferring to. :facepalm: So I’m going to break this down because there’s a lot to unpack here. There’s a problem with the BI NVR because all the recorded video is white. If you play back that video what period does...

    20K Ubiquiti IoT Cameras & Routers Are Sitting Ducks for Hackers

    I believe the key points are the vast majority of the IoT devices that are cloud dependent are rarely if ever provided a security fix when a vulnerability is discovered. :facepalm: I’ve said this thousands of times over the years that this whole Cloud First vs Local First will ultimately be...

    Incorrect Time on Hikvision DS-7716NI-E4 After Power Down

    Just some consideration and best practices as it relates to time keeping in no specific order of relevance or importance: Local NTP: In the ideal world you would have and use a local NTP GPS PPS source. Doing so removes the need or reliance on any outside source or internet connection. If...

    Running shielded Cat6 behind gutter downspouts

    It’s not a question of it being allowed vs all the problems being affixed to the downspout. :facepalm: As the other member noted if the cable will be exposed to the outside elements an outdoor rated Ethernet cable must be used. You’re spending a lot of time, resources, and money to only have...

    Soffit Vent removal for cat6 run

    Once you figure out where your penetrating point / pull point will be buy a name brand pull string. For the average DIYer 500 feet of poly rope is more than fine. If you’re doing lots of pulls sometimes buying the 5000 feet bin makes a lot more sense feet per dollar. If you’re doing any...

    Smudges ruining clarity

    Looks to be moisture buildup vs a smudge. I would open it up and see if you can wipe it off. If you can, it’s probably a good idea to replace / recharge (dry out) the desiccant packs assuming there’s one inside. Verify all the gaskets and seals are properly seated and tight. Apply some...

    Your idea about future of CCTV

    RTC: The purpose of the RTC is to allow the system to operate for longer period of time with a level of accuracy. Once NTP has been setup it will also keep the RTC accurate in time keeping. In the worst case scenario the RTC could be the master clock vs relying on the system clock. The...

    Your idea about future of CCTV

    RTC: Don’t understand how come such a cheap component isn’t incorporated into every camera. NTP: Have more than one field to enter another or three NTP servers. SPD: Pretty much every vendor offers shit surge protection. Would like to see GDT, SAD, and resettable PTC. 1/1.2 - 1/1.8” as...

    I’ll add my two cents if you’re going to try to snake any wire having both sectional glow rods in various flexibility and long reel is paramount in completing any (Big Pull). :thumb: The LED light / flash light is a godsend . . . I can not stress enough the benefits of having a flexible...

    Hikvision DS-HD1 doorbell camera

    Not sure what you’re talking about but you can assign a Static IP Address via SADP Tool. If that doesn’t work you can assign a fixed IP Address based on the MAC Address on your router / firewall. The Hik-Connect Smart Application provides all the basic features a person wants to use. The...

    Redbox revokes access to ALL PURCHASED MOVIES & TV: Piracy is COMPLETELY JUSTIFIED! ‍☠️ : Louis Rossmann

    Absolutely agree if the price point is fair the vast majority will pay for the service. One only needs to see how Amazon, Apple, Spotify, YouTube, etc are doing. Way back in the day I spent endless weekends ripping all of my CD / DVD’s into digital content. As none of the above services...
