    Dahua-5231ZE does not support SFTP?

    I wanted to explore having a lone camera (without an SD card) simply upload motion clips to a certain SFTP server but it seems like my ISP does not support FTP and the camera seems to have no option for SFTP. What might be the solution? Thanks, R

    Thanks the NVR hardware looks very different. I see that the NVR8CH-8P-2AI seems more capable and higher capacity oil some ways than the BH offering.... Okay, I don't want old technology or 1/3 sensors. Thanks, R

    Smart Electrical Panels, Yes?

    I'd like to monitor each circuit.... it might reveal when a certain appliance is using far more energy than normal which you;d be a problem.

    Smart Electrical Panels, Yes?

    It's always nice to have a whole house generator but I think you are missing the point.... having a smart panel has nothing to do with backup power.... take a look at the original post. Thanks!

    Ethernet Burial—Detached Garage Install

    Fantastic, the airMAX NanoStation M5 loco is only $67.... the only wireless beam thing from Ubiquity I saw before was $499... Although I like the look without any NanoStations mounted to the structure, at least it's financially viable. So what's the problem with copper conductors between the...
