    Tips for a successful termination with RJ-45 connector

    I appreciate input on this as it gives those who are new to terminating ethernet cables choices. I wasn't trying to argue, just my experience with pass-through connectors was more in my comfort level as I can get good repeatable results. Not so much with non-pass-through connectors. Each method...

    Nosey neighbor?

    I don't like involving authorities unless I really have something to complain about. I was on the other end of that when we put up our green house and I didn't like it. My motto is, leave me alone ad I'll leave you alone - live and let live. I haven't talked to the guy in 4 years, and I don't...

    Nosey neighbor?

    The camera is positioned and pointed to cover the PUBLIC road in front of it. The camera is of no use if it doesn't cover what was originally planned for it to see. Realistically, I was hoping the max zoom would get in a little tighter, but no dice. I really need a B54IR-Z4E here, but money is a...

    Tips for a successful termination with RJ-45 connector

    Everyone's comfort level will be different and what is easy for some may be more challenging for others. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. As you get more experience, you'll find what method works well for you. I prefer to use the pass-through style connector route because it's...

    Nosey neighbor?

    Yesterday, I swapped out the Lorex crap camera on our south side with a used Dahua 5231 2mp turret. I repositioned the FOV to the right as the bush my wife planted 3 years ago was now blocking the view. I also zoomed it all the way in to attempt to allow recognition of the person or vehicle as...

    Thanks. Would nice if you could get the registration information as well. Plus, I'm cheap, I'm not about to pay $20 something for a single report. Too expensive for just a hobby

    Tips for a successful termination with RJ-45 connector

    These are just some tips I learned from terminating CAT-5, 6 or any ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors Use pass-through RJ-45 connectors. You can strip the jacket back a few inches to work with longer wires for proper pin assignment and then cut off the excess wires. Proper termination...

    I think she'll have a difficult time proving that in a court of law. The infection may be real, but there's no way she could attribute said infection to her boyfriend's ass gas. Though I love to see her try

    The Typical picture of a Perp on Nextdoor-type Apps with Consumer Grade Cameras like Ring, Nest, Arlo, Canary, Wyze, etc.

    I personally think Visio 2000 was the best version to use. I purchased 2021 a few years ago to draw up some plans for the 2 sheds we built in our back yard. We are in a hurricane prone area and the city requires a detailed plan for permit. I found it is so difficult to use. They hide everything...

    Unlike other services, prewiring for surveillance at any given site can be a difficult to accomplish. Sometimes finding proper locations may have to wait until you have the means to actively experiment at the property. While you can run wires to approximate areas of the structure that are...

    In a sense yes, but unlike FaceCrook and other mainstream sites, it is a LOT easier to wade through the information and find what you're looking for without the political shit shows and drama of the afore mentioned sites

    I've never heard of Nextdoor until today. I don't participate in the general social media sites as there is always someone to that is just there to rattle the cage. I quit social media cold turkey right after the pandemic hit. I couldn't deal with the crap these keyboard warriors spitting out...

    Aha. I started way into the conversation, so I missed that. Pardone Moi :rofl: I think the resistance to listen comes from them trying not to admit they made a poor choice. Hell, I know I did. We're only human and sometimes we make poor choices. But I got over the fact that I got screwed and...

    Typical hot spot up close and background dark and murky. No amount of adjustments made will be able to see anything past the back of the car. One camera and dismal lighting doesn't cut it

    I need more hobbies.. Working on a PVC post discrete camera housing... (a better birdhouse)

    That's a good question. I have to remove the soffit to see if I can access the inside of the wall. The small roof over the front door is about a foot higher than the walls. So there may be an issue with a wall extension to deal with If I can get CAT 6 there, I have to figure out what the camera...

    Ok, my question is, how did you get ethernet cable to the front door camera? I have a similar situation where I need to get ethernet cable to, but I can't see how to get cable there. There is a simple doorbell switch there. You can see where the cam is currently, but it does a wonderful job of...
