I have no dog in this fight fenderman. And thanks for your input John. Much appreciated and my apologies for being goaded into speculation by fenderman. If I was accusing you of anything it was of possibly being cautious not partial. If there was a lack of clarity I'll blame it on essentially...

Your logic is shakey and your judgement of intent is way off. The presentation seemed to me to take an easy way out while still making their point. Why go further when they didn't need to? Smart. As you also noticed, OEMs were mentioned but not flagged so he certainly didn't cover anything up...

No, just not stirring the pot unnecessarily. You're inferring too much from what's basically a casual conversation on my part of the possible benefits of the way it was handled. Not everybody is a conspiracy theorist. You're the one acting like I insulted your mother. Chillax dude.

The less shit disturbed, especially with inflammatory evidence like pics from cameras exposed, the less likely that someone is going to react negatively. Even if it's not IPVM that would take much direct heat, I'd expect that if a group of people, even a small group, or even just a lawyer...

It would, however, reduce the number of potential hotheads, yes?

Ok...

I saw that. Still, clutter doesn't matter when you zoom in. As for any unmentioned reasons for not outing US-based companies when it took time and effort to remove them? I suspect that as a lawyer you might be able to guess at least one. They made their point in a way least likely to get them...

They filtered for US only locations, and for some reason only Hik-branded cameras rather than rebranded Hiks. No sense blaming Hikvision for the sins of their partners I guess? It's the parent company's faulty firmware though, so whatever...

I noticed that part after clicking on a bunch of flags. Took me a dozen-ish clicks to figure out that red meant hacked and then afterwards read the description of the balloon colours. edit- Directions? We don't need no steenkin' directions!

And this one-

Some people have nice houses inside and some are a mess. Some kindly soul left a message on this camera-

If it's for a defense attorney, "legal aid" should probably be spent on a 1 way ticket back to where they came from. That'll aid the legal system.

We don't have that issue here really. Most of our immigrants are here because we invited them. Well, except for the ones that sneak across from your border. IMHO, you guys need to do more to legally let in humanitarian refugees as well as enforce the immigration laws you already have. Why bother...

Dumb CVI question here @bigredfish - how tunable are HD-CVI cams? I've never used any and have been curious about whether or not they can be tuned for things like exposure time, gain, zoom if applicable, etc remotely. Like at least from the NVR end. IP cams are a million years more advanced...

What silly programs and waste is San Jose spending their money on? They're wasting it on overdue water upgrades and street maintenance here.

Looks like they need some more tax revenue to pay for even bare-bones policing.

Hard to say, but if everything is currently connected by dhcp then everything will automagically connect with 1.x. You could also lock yourself out of the internet and LAN on your main computer after you change the router if the computer is set to a static IP of 0.x. If you have the old Asus...

I bet she has at least 8 (cats) channels of night vision.

+1 for Pale Moon. As for the issues with using lots of x.x.1.x equipment on an x.x.0.x network, why not switch the router to 1.x? Easy peasy. Asus routers, for one, come this way anyway.

Plug it into something on 192.168.2.x and change it back to 1.x

Dark faces also illustrate the importance of good WDR and BLC in daytime scenes that need it.

This response is a classic!

I've wondered what level of GPS corrections they use for their road maps. WAAS isn't that great and has reflection issues. Omnistar has major issues with signal blockage (drive close to a tree or building and you're done), traditional RTK or cell-assisted isn't everywhere, but companies like...

Make sure you're on Normal profile in the camera. Also make sure there's no white light shining directly at the cam. There's also a day/night switch sensitivity setting but I forget exactly where it is.

Apples vs oranges, maybe apples vs bananas. Stationary pictures in bright light are absolutely and completely different from taking pictures at night of moving targets. A hundred times harder. No contest. The high pixel count of a 4k camera makes it relatively useless compared to a 1080p low...

Zoom out and then call CSI to enhance the image later? That doesn't work. What does work is to have one wide-angle overview camera with other specialty cameras designed to do a more specific job like capture high quality faces at the entryway 40 feet away.

Noise reduction makes the scenery look nice but isn't necessarily your friend on moving targets. The last time I tried moving the slider down on a 5231 though it did squat until about 4 and then jumped to horribly noisy. No middle ground. Can't remember which firmware version that was with...

Here's a quick solution to force a Dahua to a slightly faster shutter speed in dark conditions while leaving everything else automatic. Good for unpredictable conditions and if you don't want to quite leap into learning custom day/night profiles with BI, scripts, or bp2008's utility yet...

Burglars love privacy.

3 cams too much? Never! Seriously, you do have a bit of a tricky driveway to cover with multiple vehicles and the tall vans that interfere with the sight lines of any single cam. You might want to experiment with a cam slightly above and directly in front of the car zoomed in on the driveway...
