    Dual NIC setup on your Blue Iris Machine

    So I was able to set the dual nic up thanks to TL's step by step instructions. My only issue was that it isolated my unifi managed poe switch from it's controller. is there a way around this? I put controller software on the BI computer and it sees the poe switch but cannot manage it without a...

    Creating flush mount on wood siding

    If the siding is on it’ll work but If you haven’t done it before you could wind up cutting a hole or sending a pilot where you don’t want it. Maybe someone else here has a different idea in this situation?

    Creating flush mount on wood siding

    Mount Garvin 72171-FSW box flush to stud then add mud ring before siding. The depth of the mud ring depends on the depth of the siding. If you want to be fancy you can pipe directly from this box to the attic or basement if you have one. Otherwise your going to want to put a plastic snap in...

    Consumers Need To Stop Buying Consumer-rated Junk

    People don’t realize that when you search “best home camera system” your results are rigged by so called test sights that are there only to refer sales to amazon. It’s not hard to tell when the link they post to purchase goes directly to amazon and not the manufacturer of the item. This is...

    So what's your playback routine?

    Currently (4) perimeter cameras on a NVR with push notifications sent to phone on motion triggers. Just cant find the sweet spot so I get way to many false alarms or people can walk right by with the NVR's available motion configurations. My main goal is to be alerted when people are in the...

    New home owner - do I have options?

    You're 6' 4" I'd be more worried about cracking the sheetrock seeing those are 2x4 trusses with no hat channel.

    Amcrest IP4M-1051B 4MP Pan-Tilt (Dahua hardware)

    I had ordered the 2mp POE model in March of last year. When I received it they sent me the non POE model and there was a issue where the camera color was like a picture negative. I contacted Amcrest and they said they would send me the correct model, OK no problem. When I received the...

    Best place to buy schedule 40 grey conduit

    Most electrical supply stores don’t care if you are an electrician or not. They will ask if you have an account with them and if you do you may pay more depending on purchase volume. Also supply houses usually charge restocking fees so don’t go crazy ordering a bunch of stuff you won’t use.

    New guy from upstate New York

    I stumbled on your site trying to find a way to slowly upgrade what I currently have. I thought amcrest was a good idea when I purchased it but I’ve now come to the realization that it’s more of a false alarm headache than anything. My ultimate goal is to be able to set up a dedicated blue...
