    Did a quick IR test tonight with 3 different IR illuminators

    Yall need to see his reply with the deer. That looks incredible and it's with the 20w. Perhaps the extra wattage brings down the shutter. That deer isn't blown out or anything. That video really should be added to the original post at the top. Nice.

    Looking for a Non Chinese made NVR

    I'm in the process of choosing either an nvr or desktop with BI. 18 cameras sounds great. Curious though, what is the specs of the cameras. 4mp, 8mp or 2mp. Just curious because if I can run (8) 4mp starlights, some 2mp lpr and a couple AI PTZ then I'll probably go that route. Idk.

    Rack installation for 16,000 sq. ft home

    Awesome stuff. Out of curiosity, I'm guessing it's all top of the line movie theater equipment. I am looking at some vary entry level stuff including a murantz avr and a couple amplifiers for my living room to run 7.2.4 atmos. Our biggest jobs had about 100k in materials for the multi million...

    Blue Iris Computer - Good deal?

    Looking at these compared to a 16ch dahua... Could that $400 handle say 12 4mp ip cameras? I'm Enjoying the simplicity of a nvr but miss how easy BI made reviewing events and more.

    Yet another new lorex Costco kit. 4k IP Fusion + alarm kit

    Yeah, I'll double check and make sure what the fps is. I think it's. 10fps 4k on all 8 channels I called lorex and asked how many wireless alarm sensors could be added, and if they counted towards the 4 wifi cameras able to be added to the dvr. Ie. Doorbell camera etc. He didn't seem to...

    Yet another new lorex Costco kit. 4k IP Fusion + alarm kit

    I wrote that wrong my bad. It's ** not ** the best. Just easier. I would rather have the right focal length yes, so if I could find the dvr and add the sensors and then the right cameras from Andy my friend would get the easy lorex app and the right cameras. Pending the camera work with that...

    Yet another new lorex Costco kit. 4k IP Fusion + alarm kit

    I now have 3 friends who want a system that fits this perfectly. Don't want an alarm monitored but do want door sensors on an app. Sounds like this kit fits perfectly for them. I see the sensor on the website but it has no price. And I can't find info on how many door sensors you can have. I...

    Yet another new lorex Costco kit. 4k IP Fusion + alarm kit

    A buddy called me and said him and his neighbor are ready to pull the trigger after waking up and his truck was stolen. A 3rd neighbor had arlo cameras, but all were dead except one. And the one only got a corner of the road with his truck leaving at 4:30am. I figure just pull one of these cams...

    Yet another new lorex Costco kit. 4k IP Fusion + alarm kit

    Awesome thanks for that spec sheet. Curious about the cameras and how examples look in real world. I don't see those cameras in the list of compatible equipment on the site. https://www.lorextechnology.com/nvr-network-video-recorder/4k-nvr-with-smart-detection/N841-Series-1-p

    Yet another new lorex Costco kit. 4k IP Fusion + alarm kit

    My local Costco has released yet another kit. I haven't seen these cameras and this time they don't have any info on them like model numbers etc... Now they are calling it this fusion system. Throwing in alarm system type sensors. I'm just interested in the camera... I haven't found details...

    New Lorex system at Costco - What do you guys think?

    My local costco has this kit on sale for 699. Curious about it as well, just to be curious. I need a 16ch so I won't buy it but still interesting to see what the big box stores are selling. Heres the box numbers and stuff if anyone needed it. This is southeast USA.

    Help choosing kit for low price customers

    Yes. True. 100% If theyll buy the ip stuff great. Id rather them get on here, learn and buy from Andy or the ipcamtalk store. But people hiring him aren't ever going to. Ever. If theyll spring for the IP stuff great. Op question seemed to be about customer service so i chimed in. These are LOW...

    Help choosing kit for low price customers

    The company I worked for 4yrs installed Alibi. I will say, support was always 100%. They'd 2day ship everything, overnight stuff when needed and support wise were always there when we called regarding issues, features, tech help, networking issues etc.. Even complaining about designs and...

    Wow that's a hack job.... We never take payment until the job is complete and the client is happy. She never should have paid upfront. Dusty old hardware? wow. Everything about what he's done is a joke. Sorry she went through this but yes small claims court is worth it. My boss took a guy to...

    Boop by the mail lady

    Camera is a shit 5-50 about 75% zoomed. 12fps. Aside from that, mail lady boops the trash can because it's in the way. No damage but glad she didn't break an $80 trash can. Distance from camera to Mailbox 120 ft And the trash guy who didn't intentionally put it there.

    New Dahua install

    Interesting. Here, public property is free to be filmed and if you're on public property you are also free to be filmed. Even more, if you're standing on public property you can film anything/anyone you see from there. You could stand on the street and film someone in their yard... Not sure...

    Arlo outdoor cam deters vandals

    If they'll allow the arlo camera, I don't see why a good camera couldn't replace it. ;) Get a small 4ch poe NVR and a good camera and see if they notice. Andy from Empire tech has a store on ali and amazon. Depends how far your wanting to take this. As far as attachment, If it's brick exterior...

    Lorex LNB8105X Talk audio

    Ever get any samples? I have a neighbor interested and if he bites I've convinced him to also buy a 5-50 for a vehicle identification cam to our neighborhood entry/exit. Regardless theres other options, I'm just trying to feel this kit out.

    Witch takes all the candy

    Figures a witch and her two kids or siblings would take all the candy... Her shiny nice watch tells me it's the parent. Don't kill me. Obviously the camera is too high and useless. I set this cam here as a temp halloween camera. It's usually further down the deck getting an "Overall Coverage"...

    Cabinet Installed for large home install, Plus prewire pics

    The TV box's will all be "wireless" and there won't be cinema type audio in every bedroom. There's a theater room for that. Still, we ran stuff to every port in case it wasn't wireless. If the multiple ports arent enough, theres always the conduit already there in case it ever needed another...

    Cabinet Installed for large home install, Plus prewire pics

    TN, I hate the soft ducts. I replaced mine with hard ducts in my own home. Edit: What makes you say that? I only ask because I find it interesting how different parts of the country do things differently. I'm genuinely curious what makes it obvious the havac is in a southern state. Apparently...
