    PFA150 Pole Mount Bracket question

    Anyone have any alternative recommendations to this mount?

    PFA150 Pole Mount Bracket question

    I would say that the paint lifted from the metal, and it rusted. The whole bottom of the bracket the paint is peeled away from the metal. Poor prep work prior to paint, if any was done

    PFA150 Pole Mount Bracket question

    It's definitely NOT aluminum. This item was purchased during COVID so I would bet that that has something to do with the poor quality. I need to find an alternative mount as I don't want to go through the task of climbing onto a metal roof in the future to swap it out. In 2 years, I'll be in my...

    The camera you link to is a wired camera. I thought this was a Wi-Fi camera?

    Which is what makes me think there's an issue with how the mount was made. I can't find it in my Amazon orders, but I'm pretty sure I purchased...

    PFA150 Pole Mount Bracket question

    We are 14 miles away from the ocean, so it shouldn't be an issue. None of my other 2 mounts have rusted. Maybe I received a defective mount?

    Not me, too much trouble. I'd have a compound away from the idiots of society but close enough to amenities. I'd have lots of lights in the compound and LOTs of cameras. And an 8-foot wall with a mote outside filled with alligators. That to me, that is an efficient use of the type of money Bozos...

    Unfortunately, you have to be careful of doing things like this anywhere in the US. All it takes is one of those parkers to get sprayed and accidentally becoming a victim and it could ruin your whole weekend.

    What a joke that fiasco was. Most people are trying to get through the week to eat, pay bills and other necessities and Bozo Bezo is spending more money on one event than most of us will ever see in our lifetimes

    From what I understand, some of the motion sensor sprinklers work very well and they're readily available. I'm sure with general mechanical skills, one could assemble a similar design to the Aussie video

    I bought my mower that way used. Didn't know there was a kill switch with silly wires not connected under the seat. Nor a disconnected switch for reversing while the blades are engaged;)

    PFA150 Pole Mount Bracket question

    I figured it was steel but just wanted to confirm. Can't believe it got as rusty as it did in a short 5 years

    PFA150 Pole Mount Bracket question

    It's been a while since I mounted my PTZ cameras (just over 5 years) and I noticed a lot of rust on the bottom of the pole mount bracket. Is the PFA150 Pole Mount Bracket made from regular steel or is it aluminum like the camera housings?

    Mystery part

    Could it be hydraulic fluid fill cap or ride regulator valve for the strut? Just spit balling since that is what you were working on

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

    Trying to understand the image. The middle is B&W, yet there's color present in the image. What gives? Hybrid of some sort?

    Right there with you. Always need a camera when there's no sale, but then the sale, and I already have what I need. Sometimes I dream up new cam locations, just to take advantage of the sale, always under the radar of the WAF unit of course. She's not always happy when I acquire something new...

    Criminal spy camera inside Logitech mouse

    Do you think there is a firmware update for the camera in my Logitech mouse? The auto-tracking is a bit jerky. Anyone know where I can get a firmware update?

    Looking for advice on my install locations.

    I'm also with the consensus. Was going to use the X3, but after seeing the less than stellar night captures from all the testing here, I scrapped the idea. In my opinion, from experience with the 5231, 2mp cameras are great if you have good light. Otherwise, you need to supplement additional...

    Network security questions

    I know I'm going down a rabbit hole here, but the more I research things, the more questions I have. I did a netstat -a -n search and noticed a crap load of established connections which I have no idea what they are. Lots of addresses with port 443 (http?) and about a dozen port 80 addresses as...

    I tried but it doesn't connect. I'm sure it has to do with the incorrect port needed to access the NVR locally. I don't know the proper port for local access

    Yes, direct ethernet cable from laptop to NVR LAN port. And I wouldn't underestimate this guy. He's had years of hacking experience with his next-door neighbor and God knows who else. The fact is, he's been able to make changes to my cameras and even take 1 or 2 of them offline overnight...
