    Do you guys restrict cameras from accessing internet?

    Not necessarily, you just need a better firewall. ;) pfSense allows "one way" rules in its firewall. You can allow access from the VPN and main LAN to the security LAN, but still block all outbound traffic on the security LAN. However this only works if you have the LANs physically separated...

    Hardware recommendations for 50 camera system

    Um. No. You don't. In fact, an electrician is probably the LAST trade you want anywhere near datacom lines. I'd rather have a plumber do it - at least they know what a minimum bend radius is. Want some horror stories about new construction prewire jobs done by the contracted electricians and...

    Hardware recommendations for 50 camera system

    Pulling cables, while not the most fun job in the world, isn't awful - especially in a warehouse with open truss ceilings. I've lost track of how many miles I've pulled lol. If you're willing to do the work and put in the time to do it right, you could save a lot of money doing it yourself...

    Hardware recommendations for 50 camera system

    For the initial setup, yeah maybe, depending on how knowledgeable this guy is in networking, but no need to keep an IT guy "on staff" once it's set up and locked in. I tend to agree, but not "completely separate". A system like this can't be airgapped. Put the cameras et al on their own switch...

    Question regarding Paypal

    Not sure how BoA or Citi work but Capital One's virtual numbers (Eno) can be reused until you cancel them. When their browser extension detects a checkout page that you dont already have a card for, it prompts you to log in, then it generates a new virtual card for that site, auto fills the card...

    @EMPIRETECANDY Thanks for getting back to me, it's at the top of my budget even slow way but not as bad as I thought. I'll probably order them later this week. Let me ask you (or anyone else who has ordered from him) this though, would ePacket take roughly the same time to get to the US from...

    Neightbor Being Hazed With Tortillas

    I've had a lot of interest in Pixels and controllers the past few years... I had been thinking about permanently mounting Pixels on the entire outline of the house, that way I could program a light show in appropriate colors for different holidays/town happenings. I had to move for work and...

    Neightbor Being Hazed With Tortillas

    Honestly I think the same way.. My old place the lights on the roofline and some of the more PITA places did stay up. When I bought them I had taken all the bulbs out and sprayed the wires the same color as the trim before I put them up just for that reason - it sucks having to shuffle an...

    Those starlights are way too expensive for me. I have heard a lot of good things about them and I know the whole "buy once cry once" mantra but I can't justify spending that much for this. I need to keep it under $100 per cam, preferably under $80. Is the difference really going to be that...

    Hi everyone, I am new to this community but not to IP technology.. However I have been out of the loop for a few years and I know things have progressed without me haha! I live in an apartment building, and ever since I moved in I've wanted to install SOME sort of camera to see who's at my...
