    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Which I'm sure that you have the decency to tell mates over a few quiet /dozen loud beers after making sure the wife is out of earshot :D, rather than butchering them at a press conference in an attempt to make yourself look like the every man. It's something that annoys me, the whole, look I'm...

    If her boyfriend didn't, maybe we should explain it to him instead. The difference is the Secret Service would have put 30 rounds into her before she could pull it out of her jacket, so she would have been lying there in a pool of her own blood with a dildo in hand.

    Blue Iris Object Detection query

    Quick question re object detection. I activated it and it appears to have killed motion detection for objects that stay within a single zone without crossing zones. Can anyone confirm or deny if BI reads that setting as object travels X pixels on substream AND crosses zones. Is there a way to...

    Gas prices

    Think yourself lucky. We are paying AU$7.50 ($US5.10) a gallon for petrol (E10) and AU$8.30 (US$5.64) a gallon for diesel.

    When an overview camera is just not enough (if they had been IPCAMTALK member I guess they would have probably had LPR)

    That was amateur hour. Did you see the first shooter run right into the back blast of the second shooter. Dumb.

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    We get some of that, but generally only in local council elections, because even on an epic scale, those are the only elections where the total number of voters are low enough that a couple of hundred extra votes for a candidate might make the difference. It also always seems to end badly for...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HFW5449T1-ASE+D2 - Dual Lens Full Color 2.0

    Given the price of entry, and that you cant get a 3.6mm or 6mm lens yet, you are probably right. The only place that camera would be useful is the front porch, and the 5442's I have there go colour when the sensor lights come on anyway. I've decided to go with very bright floodlights that come...

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    Possibly a silly question from an ignorant Australian but isn't identity established at the time of registration? Or can you just turn up on the day and vote? Voting is compulsory here so everyone is required to register to vote before the first election after they turn 18. Someone should slap...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HFW5449T1-ASE+D2 - Dual Lens Full Color 2.0

    So I was looking at options for going full colour. Lots of lights with 5442 turrets? Or do I go dual sensor? One of the things that was discouraging me from going Dual sensor were issues around depth of field at night. F1.0 with near focus to 2m does not exactly result in a large depth of...

    Louis Rossmann : Elderly NYC store clerk ARRESTED for defending himself against abusive criminal - fk NYC

    I'm going to have to watch the video later to understand the context he said these things in. In the context of a Police Officer or other trained and prepared person it isn't bad advice but each case of self defence is unique and gets taken on its merits. That the shopkeeper used what appears to...

    Louis Rossmann : Elderly NYC store clerk ARRESTED for defending himself against abusive criminal - fk NYC

    I'm going to need to correct what I posted earlier. I just read the NY state legislation and the test is double objective rather than subjective / objective like most of the common law world.

    Louis Rossmann : Elderly NYC store clerk ARRESTED for defending himself against abusive criminal - fk NYC

    Did you expect anything else from a system that normalises corruption? Prosecutor's decisions should be based on law, ethics, and morals, in that order. When you have a system where the people making those decisions are dependent on the people who vote for them, and the people that fund their...

    Louis Rossmann : Elderly NYC store clerk ARRESTED for defending himself against abusive criminal - fk NYC

    The important thing to remember is that self defence is not about what the third party thinks would have happened but what the person using force in self defence genuinely believed in that moment. The belief doesn't even have to be reasonable. Of course even when the belief is genuinely held...

    OpenALPR Tool - Save and Query CSV Exports

    I thavent applied @tech101 's fix to the database yet. I'm hoping when I do that will fix the other issues. Going to have a play with the code to see if I can come up with a solution. Using zz as a variable then running regex over it to remove the plus sign seems promising.

    Catalytic Converter Theft Video

    That makes me feel a little better about the grubs trying car door handles around here. Locally you need ID to sell to a scrap metal merchant. Unfortunately it doesn't stop the grubs steeling stuff, but it does make it easier for the Police to gather evidence to lock them up.

    Is there a way to calculate speed of cars on camera

    Not sure if your matter has finalised yet but my advice would be, given that looks like a scene reconstruction from a Crash Investigation Unit, is to get some really good legal advice and employ a local expert to check their numbers if you have any concerns. The Police who I suspect you are...

    Klein cable tester suggestion

    My two bob worth but I would go with a cheap continuity tester and then if you have a break anywhere pull a new cable through the conduit. Any join in an underground cable is just asking for trouble.

    Shitty End to a Great Weekend.

    Unfortunately a big lightning strike close to the house will induce current in the cables themselves which can fry the cameras. My whole set up is behind an active UPS which cleans up all the current and voltage to exactly 230V and 50hz (Australia) but once or twice a year during the summer...
