    Black Friday Discount From Andy

    Does not need to be 3MP. 3MP is what I had and still have with the remaining 2 hiks. I always liked the results. I basically live surrounded on 3 sides by a large wild life reserve. We have lots of deer, gators in pond out back, foxes, bear and boar etc. I like to play back the the nightly...

    Black Friday Discount From Andy

    Two of my 4 hiks suddenly died. One was inside an enclosed porch area and was not exposed to weather extremes and the other one was an indoor cube. All of them were running on Cat5, and were running fine without problems of any kind for several years. None of them display any longer in any...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Thanks for clearing this up. Any comment on my avoiding the use of an NVR and just recording directly to an SSD drive? I never quite understood why people generally use an NVR. Is it to create a separation for a specific group of devices which in this case are cams? If there are other reasons I...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    I’m in my late 70s and am starting to lose some gray biological ram. 2 years ago I built my video system to what I perceived to be state of the art. When I built the computer my thought was that NVRs seem to have too many issues. This is why I chose to go direct to solid state memory into a...

    Download clips from camera's sd card?

    Yes. It is my primary tool to monitor motion across a line. The problem is out of about 90 nightly recorded clips, only 1 or maybe 2 of them is what I need to isolate and make into an e-mail-able clip. The search came up with nothing usable. This is not such a strange request. I would think it...
