    How does everyone here view BI on there PC?

    I've been using dual screens with one screen showing BI software 24/7 and the other my web browser, youtube etc. I like the dual screens since i can move my cursor across the screen over to BI and PTZ on things of interest. I'm curious as to how others do it. I have been thinking about a...

    Static or DHCP for IP cams?

    I don't think that would work for me, i have 4 POE switches scatted around the property that all link back to a 10GIG switch. It only takes a min to block them all in Unifi. But its a good idea :)

    Static or DHCP for IP cams?

    Just looking for ideas on how to manage my cams, I block my cams from getting to the internet, it's easy to do with ubiquiti. I would use VLAN but not all my switches are ubiquiti and it tends to be a pain when you have different brands of switches mixed. I find it easy to just create a rule...

    What's your opinion on cameras *inside* the home?

    I have cameras inside and keep them all on a VLAN so none of them can reach the outside world. They have no internet access and no access to browse the network.

    What PTZ to buy for a 22 acre property?

    That is why i was looking at the x-spans or TandemVu cams as they have a fixed wide cam that works with the PTZ to zoom in on whatever. I don't think they work with BI though. There is not much info on the forms about them. Hikvision has so many different versions.

    Is it at all possible to install a remote IP cam that can stream 24/7 to BI using a battery that gets charged by solar? I have two ubiquiti nanobeams not in use. Not sure how or if it would even be possible, nanobeam uses 8.5 watts.

    New vehicles are crap and private equity groups are the reason

    Yeah it's made cheap now with loads of plastics and the prices are ridiculous. When i bought my V8 Tundra the dealer tried his best to sell the new V6 Tundra telling me how it had more power than the V8 and better MPG. That was before all the recalls. I don't like how the new trucks look they...

    New vehicles are crap and private equity groups are the reason

    I am a Toyota fan to have been since the 80s. The new Toyota's are a joke and will not last as long as the previous models mainly the trucks so far as they all now have turbo garbage in them. It is well know that a turbo adds stress to the engine not to mention the average life span of a turbo...
