Ethernet Ends
My guess is that it wasn't his image, just one that he found posted somewhere else. Imgur links don't go dead unless the file was actually deleted by the user.- taz420nj

Installation license
You are never required to have a license to install your own cameras. Every state that requires licensing has an exemption for self installation of your own system. If the store tells you otherwise, you can cite 19 NYCRR §195.2 (c): A license is not required for the installation, maintenance or... -

Anyone know how to repair a UPS?
With most equipment nowadays having worldwide power supplies that can work just fine anywhere from 90-264V (100-240 +/- 10% which is the standard tolerance), voltage regulation is far less important today than it was years ago. Power supplies are also far more tolerant of dirty power than they... -

The Raspberry PI thread - What do you do with yours?
^^^ This!!! And then the next level of that is "why did it take me so long to VPN my cell phone through it?" because it knocks out in-app ads as well! -

Anyone know how to repair a UPS?
Did ya'll see the new lithium iron phosphate drop in replacements for lead acids? Theres a 12v 10Ah (same size as 7Ah SLA) that can deep cycle 2000 times for $100 a piece. You can even get a 24V 260Ah pack good for 3000+ deep cycles for only $6500! :D -

Anyone know how to repair a UPS?
That's basically what a PicoPSU does. However they dont make them over a few hundred watts. You cant really have anything simplistic like you suggest though because todays computers lean much more heavily on the 12v rails, and once the battery starts draining it will go out of spec very quickly... -

Anyone know how to repair a UPS?
This is not an online unit. It does do AVR, basically it maintains output using different taps on a transformer to buck/boost irregular voltage to a certain degree (I think its +/-30V), but once it goes out of that range it switches to battery. It doesnt do frequency stabilization but honestly... -

The Raspberry PI thread - What do you do with yours?
Theres a few out there, but having your own allows you far greater flexibility as far as the lists you use, blacklists, white lists if a particular filter breaks a site, etc. For example theres a filter on Easylist that breaks video streaming on Certain apps like A&E and Food Network. Using the... -

Anyone know how to repair a UPS?
More like "Return policy subject to manager approval, likely to be denied on 8 year old product". Just google it and you'll see it's a nightmare trying to return old products, not to mention it really makes you look like a douche. No thanks. -

Anyone know how to repair a UPS?
I don't want the little ones, I want another enterprise one because they can be adapted to an external battery pack without fear of cooking the charger. Next battery replacement I was planning on getting four 35Ah wheelchair batteries for it, which would give 5x the runtime of the built in pack. -

Anyone know how to repair a UPS?
Mine just beeps continuously as soon as you pull the plug, the overload indicator is on, and it reads 0V output. It does not come back on when it's plugged back in, you have to turn the switch off, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on. -

Anyone know how to repair a UPS?
No they're not. They were replaced 3 years ago. They performed just fine 2 months ago. Can we please stop harping on the batteries? Because it's not the batteries. They dont just "go bad" all of a sudden. Even if they did, it would say low battery and shut down, restarting automatically when AC... -

Anyone know how to repair a UPS?
Since I was able to cold start it off the batteries, I did that, and with just its own internal inefficiency drain, it ran for 6 1/2 hours. I don't know what the internal drain is, but I'd imagine 2 amps at 24V sounds pretty reasonable for a 92% efficient 900W UPS. So if it is, almost 7 hours... -

Anyone know how to repair a UPS?
Yeah I remember the basics, I know what components are and how to read a schematic, but I also know you need to know what values to expect at certain test points to find your faults. Without that you need deep theory knowledge to feel it out and make educated guesses, and that I don't have... -

Anyone know how to repair a UPS?
As I said that was my first thought, but at this point it's almost guaranteed not to be the batteries. It wouldn't even run with a couple hundred milliamps from a wall wart plugged into it - if the batteries were that bad, it wouldn't have run for 6 1/2 hours under its own inefficiency. I load... -

gps tracking device
The car isn't what's being stolen. They're breaking into the car and stealing things out of it. And again something like that isn't going to work if the phone isn't activated. Unless they're stupid enough to actually keep the phone and connect it to their wifi. -

Anyone know how to repair a UPS?
Ok so I ran into an issue today. The power flicked out a couple times then came back on (this has happened a few times in the past month, and according to the guy at the power company it was a breaker tripping out and resetting due to a fried critter).. When it finally stayed on, I could hear... -

gps tracking device
If they're not stealing the car, there is basically nothing that's not going to cost a lot of money and really not do anything for you. The problem is anything that can give you a GPS fix needs some way to transmit that location back to you. That means (assuming you are not a ham and can't use... -

The Raspberry PI thread - What do you do with yours?
I have two 3B+ that I bought a couple months back.. One is a Pi-hole (been running Pi-hole basically since it came out on a VM, just recently got around to actually putting it on a real Pi lol!) and the other is one that I just play around with. Right now it is loaded with RetroPie, and OMG I... -

How to setup HTTPS (I guess with stunnel?)
Stunnel is for getting around VPN blocks that use DPI. It encapsulates VPN packets in an SSL wrapper and sends them over TCP port 443 so they are indistinguishable from regular HTTPS traffic. Without stunnel, OVPN traffic sent over TCP 443 (which is a common way of getting VPN traffic through... -

Network Install - Phase 1
It's a Nortel (Avaya) Baystack 5520-24T-PWR. It's like 15" deep (not even including the power cord sticking out, so like 16 1/2"). Honestly I would get something smaller but I only paid $100 for FOUR of them (24 port gigabit PoE) - pretty much stole them lol! And with the exception of the...- taz420nj

Dahua - is your city safe enough yet? In 1984 it can be!
We have them here and they are a total pain in the ass. 2-3 months out of the year the sun is in the right place during the morning and evening rushes to blind the cameras on east-west streets and hold vacant side streets and/or turn arrows green while traffic piles up on the main drag. They... -

Nice clean install bro. I really need to get a wall rack and get mine cleaned up. That ones nice. My switch and firewall wont fit in a shallow one though, let alone the UPS.. :(- taz420nj

Hardware recommendations for 50 camera system
Can it be done that way? Sure. That's what makes star topology so great. It lets you add a printer and VoIP phone at someone's desk where there is only one RJ45 jack for example.. SHOULD you do it that way? Not in a million years. It's far from ideal for this type of application. I can tell... -

Do you guys restrict cameras from accessing internet?
Theres a big difference between people using your IP cams to case your house (which rarely happens anyway, it's more common with 2.4Ghz wireless cams that can be scanned on a driveby) and leaving it wide open to cyber voyeurs which is just creepy. And people ARE interested in whatever they can... -

Do you guys restrict cameras from accessing internet?
So how does their push notification work? Is it a standalone service on it's own port or is it something that's sent to the China servers over http/s and then back to the app? If it's the latter then you're screwed as far as allowing that while blocking everything else. -

Yeah I don't know anything about ASUS firmware, I haven't used stock firmware in any router since Sveasoft released Alchemy like 15 years ago lol! Today you know it as DD-WRT. But I started using pfSense bout 5 years ago and it's hands down the best and most versatile (although not always the...
