    The scene from this movie is priceless

    Miss John Candy. I also saw a reference to "they'll be able to buff this out, no problem" last night.

    Poor fellow had no idea his Zoom account was spoofed

    I thought maybe he had been watching the movie Idiocracy and that influenced his user name. I wonder who hooked the guy up?

    Yet Another Worthless Ring Door Bell Video

    The video improved once the porch light came on and the nanny opened the door - so there's that to consider...lol.

    I've had an Accuteck W-8260-86G for about five years and it is working fine, but I don't use it a lot. Identical to this gold model 86 lb scale.

    Thoughts on Physically Locating PoE and CAT6?

    ^^^^^ What they said, especially pulling more than one cable downstairs. Also highly recommend pulling at least two cables to each camera location - helps with troubleshooting and future expansion. Does your house have a wired network for internet? Consider adding /upgrading networking...

    New Here and some system setup questions..

    Welcome from another Tidewater member! Lots of great info here. +1 on the conduit between floors for future expansion. So much easier and cheaper to install cables now, but if you are running out of time to pull cables before the insulation/drywall crews show up, conduit runs can help reduce...

    Epoe trench 750ft long

    That is good customer service. Probably right about the shipping; I've been told to toss a couple defective items also.

    Epoe trench 750ft long

    You could also try to get Amazon to replace the mic. Amazon also handles the manufacturers warranty claims for some items so that may be easier since Amazon can see your purchase etc.

    I'm back! Adding new camera best practices for placement?

    Also determine what you want the camera to do in each location - overwatch, monitor packages, facial ID etc. A varifocal camera and the test rig helped me a lot.

    Need suggestions for camera placement and equipment

    :welcome: One or two varifocal turrets and the test rig really enhances the ability to tweak a location to help dial in coverage and minimize/avoid issues like sun glare or street lights messing with your image quality.
