    Upgrade Comcast Router/Modem combo?

    Haha. You lost me at "It's been 4 months since my last camera purchase" though. 4 whole months?!? Come on now, be realistic... :)

    Upgrade Comcast Router/Modem combo?

    I'm just a lifetime tech nerd. It doesn't hurt that I threw in a bunch of time in university in computer science either. I also like problem solving, so if I see someone else's problem I solve theirs when I'm low on my own problems. I'm sure there's a support group for it out there somewhere but...

    Upgrade Comcast Router/Modem combo?

    The gigabit switch thing is the easiest way to speed up local access between high traffic devices and keep that traffic off the modem /router without bridging and using a separate possibly faster router like an Asus with better options. That's not a huge deal unless the Comcast gizmo is just...

    Need help with PoE

    KISS. Try it with your NVR. Some NVRs are POE+ but aren't very loud about advertising it. If that doesn't work, put a POE+ injector in the line from the NVR.

    Upgrade Comcast Router/Modem combo?

    Definitely VPN is high on the list of benefits, plus possibly things like static IP assignments to cameras, ease of blocking camera access to the net, etc. I haven't a clue what your Comcast can do, but it's easy in an Asus. You can run OpenVPN on an Asus, plus if you run into trouble or need...

    Upgrade Comcast Router/Modem combo?

    I have phone service with my cable and internet provider. I disabled the router services on the cable modem and use an Asus router behind it. Doesn't affect anything else at all. Find out the exact model number of the cable modem/router and google "model xyz bridge mode". There should be...

    HOA Approvals for camera installation

    Put a gargoyle head over the AT camera so they think it's just a gag and not quite so creepy. Problem solved!

    She didn't appear to be distracted from what I was able to see. No cellphone anyway. Just your everyday average space cadet. At least she waved.

    Upgrading to PoE Injector with a separate Switch. Advice appreciated

    I haven't done any testing/research on energy efficiency but they should be in the same ballpark as most modern switches. As far as injectors and gigabit compatibility goes, 10/100 internet uses 4 of the 8 wires for data. Gigabit uses all 8 for data, and sharing power wires with data isn't the...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    No, normal camera heat keeps it clear under most conditions unless there's a storm.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Mine survived a Canadian winter but I don't think it hit much below -25C here last year. I've never had a camera die from the cold but it's nice to be able to de-ice the ones that get coated in a storm if you need to. I'm not sure what the temp is that needs a heater because the heat of the...

    Looking for Outdoor camera

    Where is the camera going to be installed? What do you hope to accomplish with the camera? Are you thinking of ID quality face shots for who did it, or general overview of what happened? Don't expect any ID quality shots from a general overview camera (wide angle lens) unless you get lucky...

    "Cheap" Reliable IP camera, compatible with Blue Iris

    Q, I forget if you've mentioned before but did you turn your Annke cubes into Hiks by flashing their updated firmware or are you running their stock firmware?

    BlueIris 4.6.4.12

    Upgrades are free for minor revisions for a long time, not just a year. BI will continue to upgrade after the one year of free support runs out. This changes for major revisions, such as the change from v3 to v4 of Blue Iris. V4 was considered a separate program and had to be purchased again. v3...

    My latest bad drivers

    I put a Viofo A119 like yours in my wife's Escape. Great video. Does yours have any trouble accidentally powering down with the GPS mount? There's a V2 out now that supposedly fixes that. Hers stays on the mount and hasn't given any troubles. I used to drive down through Mass and went Fall...

    Upgrading to PoE Injector with a separate Switch. Advice appreciated

    This switch has enough headroom on the power budget for you to not worry, if 8 cams and the uplink are enough ports. You probably won't need gigabit with just 8 cams. Downside is that it's not gigabit but the upside is that the POE is built-in. No separate midspan injector needed...

    A little crazyness

    Looks like PEA (phenyl ethyl amines) can be a bunch of things including MDMA but are basically stimulants with hallucinogenic properties. Scary when folks are doing stuff like that and then driving. Services like Bababouy's are saving lives.

    Wifi Camera Headache (Amcrest IPM-HX1)

    Haha, that's funny. "wife i" instead of wifi when doing voice to text. Get a good stable wife and everything else comes easy! Hey, even my birdhouse and crittercams are wired. I do have a WiFi puppy cam indoors hooked into BI, plus a couple of other low-res view-only ones for cats, visiting...

    Wifi Camera Headache (Amcrest IPM-HX1)

    Good, stable, and wife I don't go together. You may have something Fairly reliable or even maybe quite reliable but no guarantees. Some people have it work so badly that they have either nothing at all, or worse, had something they think works but actually isn't much of the time but they don't...

    surveillance for my church

    Or who price the low hardware cost of the system and fail to mention that labour costs rise significantly when there are more than a few cameras to install. Money that THEY pocket all of. Saving multiple cable runs saves money. Retrofitting existing analog systems with many existing runs of...

    Another Raccoon, probably the same one.

    That looks like a serious pellet. Don't think I've seen any of those around here.

    Does that kill them? You almost have to get lucky with a .22 rimfire. Sometimes it just makes 'em grouchy.

    Bucks N Stuff

    I think the does around here must reproduce asexually. Either that or Santa's reindeer get a little something something as they pass through. I see about 1 buck for every hundred does.
