    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    I am unable to grasp the level of despicable of these libs. Lawsuit asks Wisconsin Supreme Court to strike down governor's 400-year veto It's a badly worded headline, and it takes a bit of effort to digest what Evers did. In short, he line-item vetoed individual characters in a sentence to...

    EmpireTech NV41AI-8P-4KH or NVR8CH-AI

    I'll take a crack at this one. It means some marketing person thinks it sounds really good and might impress somebody. Information-wise, it's somewhat similar to the new toilet paper roll being 60% bigger, but we won't tell you bigger than what?

    Question about A/V closet Ethernet terminations

    Amen to that! There are other things to consider beside the electrical specs, like physical space, ease of reconfiguration, how badly you hack up your house, where the wires can be run, and other similar but different details.

    Question about A/V closet Ethernet terminations

    I went with an in- wall box and surface-mount patch panels. It's flush with the wall when the door is closed. The box is kind of busy, besides network connections there's TV antenna distribution, landline telephone distribution, and some security alarm stuff in there. There are 42 punchdown...

    Trouble installing UI3 on desktop

    Do you realize that on the remote desktop computer you access UI3 with a web browser? Nothing else to install.

    Doesn't this panel create more problems down the line?

    My thinking is this type of panel adds 2 more connectors to each cable run, adding more potential failure points. In my history, the single biggest type of failure has been with connectors.

    The official "WTF" thread

    That's a really damning video that would never have existed before everybody carried cameras in their pockets. 20 years ago, say, it would have just been a routine safe landing and never hit the media.

    Waterproof Junction for 4 strings of POE?

    When I have more than 2 wires I use a waterproof plastic junction box and very carefully make tight-fitting mouse-hole-shaped wire entry holes in the box body just below the lid, and grease around the wire entry points so the grease seals the tiny airspace between the wire and the box lid...

    Frequent camera logins from BI

    You have led the horse to water, and he drank. How do I know the logins are from BI? Because I just know, of course, but to cover myself I noted that they stopped when I disabled the camera in BI. After experimenting with a lot of BI settings the little birdie on my shoulder reminded me about...

    Frequent camera logins from BI

    Is there any known or obvious reason why BI is logging in and out of one of my cameras every 8 seconds? It's a 5231E-Z, if that matters.

    We went back an hour - damn, the system is good

    Does that mean that Australia also has Daylight Savings Time? The Dahua equipment also does the same thing but there's one thing I've not figured out, which is what happens to the hour of video when the time "falls back"? In the USA, the hour from 1 AM to 2 AM happens twice on switchover day.

    In today's effed up news headlines....

    After careful consideration I have concluded that war sucks. It's usually a bunch of deranged mentally ill egotists somehow being able to force or convince masses of otherwise peaceful people to hate and kill the otherwise peaceful people on the other side. The only winners are bankers...

    Residential cameras for exterior- bullet vs turret

    My thinking: If you want the presence of the cameras to be a deterrent, go with bullets. If you don't want the cameras to be in peoples' faces, turrets. If you want a built in microphone, go with turrets (general rule, there are some exceptions).

    External IP66 / IP67 microphone for Dahua cameras?

    I'd just comment "good luck with that", without nuking the network signal.

    External IP66 / IP67 microphone for Dahua cameras?

    The cameras use 803.3at or 802.3af POE. I'm sure there are exceptions, but almost every POE splitter you will find is going to be compatible with one or both of these standards. If the microphone needs 12 volt power, you need a POE splitter with a 12 volt output, which you will likely need to...

    External IP66 / IP67 microphone for Dahua cameras?

    I and others use this one and like it. Microseven IP Cameras Any microphone that works with the cameras needs to be powered. The most common method is to use a POE splitter at the camera location. Make sure the camera has an external mic input.

    Hack required - how to unscrew screw when allan key doesn't grip

    The torx tools that have come with my cameras have felt like somewhat soft metal. Perhaps a real torx driver like in post 6 would do better.
