    Ooops! Not Expecting that framing - help please!

    One of those "this will only take a few minutes" job has now turned into a time-consuming head scratcher. I planned a camera location for above the middle of garage door opening, but the framing has got me confused. After drilling the hole from the outside for the bracket I stuck an endoscope in...

    Ladder Review: Werner Multi Max Pro

    Over the last few years of installing cameras one of the tools that I really wanted was a decent quality ladder. Back in March a local Home Depot had a huge shipment of Werner Multi Max Pro 20' ladders priced at $179, (now $219 :rolleyes:) so I thought about it and bought one...

Those of you who have purchased items on Amazon, including Andy's, have no doubt been sent the email: "Can you answer this question?" from Amazon. I have answered several questions about the...

    VTO and VTH's for sale in Classifieds

    In the summer of 2021 I bought a video doorbell (VTO2311R-WP) from Andy, but at that time there was very limited inventory on the matching VTH's (touchscreens), so I scoured eBay and found some. Well, of course I did not do my research on the various Generations of VTO's and VTH's, and since...

    Yet another VTO, Home Assistant, Kwikset, DahuaVTO2MQTT discussion

    Apologies if this has been covered before - I did scan other DahuaVTO2MQTT posts... We have Kwikset 916 Z-wave deadbolt locks that are managed by Home Assistant. We also have a Dahua VTO2311R-WP doorbell and three VTH2621GW-WP monitors. There are numerous times when a friend rings the front...

    Broken Drill Bit Installing Doorbell

    Disregarding the discussion about why we needed a video doorbell, after several weeks of planning and investigating I thought I had arrived at a reasonable solution to installing my VTO2311R-WP. As you can see from this photo, the front door has sidelights and the optimal location is on the door...

    Preferred Way to Repair Subfloor in Attic

    Again, thanks everyone for this wonderful resource. I wanted to run CAT5e through an interior wall where I knew there was an existing hole in the top plate because the thermostat wire was run through that wall section. That section of my attic has a subfloor (long story), so I thought it would...

    Blue Iris Audio Alerts and MPD

    Thank you everyone! I have received so much from this community, and I am very appreciative of all the insight and knowledge (hard won sometimes, I can tell). I wanted to contribute something, perhaps trivial, and only one of many ways to skin the cat, but I find it useful and am hoping that...
