    Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.

    AJ has talked about this cycle many a times over the decades. On a different note, where’s the thread you pinned about the ads? That’s more relevant than ever!

    Superbowl drinking and gambling thread

    Speaking of the Vax pimp; I was at ADI the other day and saw 5 of these on the shelf. They never inventory stuff that expensive. Apparently Kelce and Mahomes house both got robbed while they were playing fooseball and these took too long to get so Kelce hired someone else, now adi is stuck with...

    Well I woke up to find out the chefs lost but I hit a $1250 square!

    Adding a building to my network.

    If you drop another nvr in there you can have redundancy by linking channels from the other one so if someone stole the primary or burnt the house down you’ll still have footage on the other one.

    Superbowl drinking and gambling thread

    I hear ya! You can call me a conspiracy theorist but I believe all that crap is rigged and stumbled onto an interesting fact; if the chiefs win the eagles will have 666 wins and 666 loses. The satanists who control all this bs would love that.

    Anyone else firing the smoker up today? I quit giving a crap about sports decades ago but here in KC when the chiefs or Royals do well it’s good for my clients and gives them more money to spend on me!

    Best current deal on 1000ft of Ethernet cable, RJ45 Connectors, and a crimper?

    But I like true cable for all my aerial and direct bury projects.

    Best current deal on 1000ft of Ethernet cable, RJ45 Connectors, and a crimper?

    I wouldn’t spend the extra money on 6 unless I was wiring up 10g networks. Plus the spine sucks working around.

    2.5 vs 1 gbit Ethernet nic

    If it’s the same cost go for it but it probably won’t make a difference; your bottleneck will be your hard drive and file system.

    Dahua DVR-Xfinity Modem

    I don’t know what they’re charging you per hour but I’m going to guess it’s between 120-140. This is not “highway robbery.” That’s my rate here in KC and I’m on the cheaper end vs my competitors like SEI, SIG and C & C group who are all 30-40% more.

    DISABLE: The video has been playing for a long time. Are you sure you want to continue playing it?

    This is annoying as hell, lots of clients I have tablets set on stands to stream live view across LAN, now they all have to constantly click continue. Dahua has gone down the shitter over the last decade and the new company that bought NA hasn’t impressed me yet in the least.

    Recorded an mp3 for a friends of me yelling “honey, someone is here, get the guns,” followed by the sound of a cocking Binelli!

    Ready to pull my hair out - QSee

    Holy cow, I haven’t heard qsee in 20 years! Back when there was only high end; Bosch, Honeywell and pelco, or cheap; geovision, qsee and swann. Most were 24vac back then!

    Connecting NVR to Smart TV (for live view/playback) via Local Network (not LAN cable)

    Sorry Tony, I’ve always been able to either get hdmi or Ethernet extensions to clients TVs. But I’ve got one that was an upgrade with it that after a few years is still going strong. I think like everything you have to spend the money on the good stuff; few hundred dollar mark. I’ll be out there...

    DMSS works for Live View but not Playback

    I’m also a fan of this for if the internet goes down in the middle of the night I can still get alerts.

    You could probably make a user account with no permission to zoom on the camera and use that for device credentials.

    How to reset Dahua Nvr4216-16p-4ks2 with only ConfigTools Application

    If you don’t know the password for the nvr and you don’t have access to the email/if one was even used when initialized, then you’d need an engineer to tell you what 2 points to short on main board because unlike cameras, there is no reset button.

    New PTZ cam from Andy question.

    I wouldn’t worry about it then. I’ve got a few still operational in the field a decade later that tour 5-8 presets on the smallest intervals.
