    Package thieves on Christmas eve morning.

    Update: The guy pled guilty. I was told I I didn't need to be there for the plea. But the magistrate was refusing to tell me his fine or punishment. After a long conversation she said $500. The lady pled not guilty and got an attorney. When I showed up and waited the prosecutor came over to...

    How to view Dahua cameras without browser plugins

    This is getting confusing. My issue is CPU load. Older I5 4670, 16GB mem pc, windows 8.1, using chrome and easy viewer logging into Dahua NVR. Constant logging out no matter what setting is picked is annoying enough. But this thing really taxes my CPU to the point of having to close it to...

    Package thieves on Christmas eve morning.

    I agree J Sigmo. And I believe there is a decent chance of these two low lifes dreaming up some kind of revenge. I have a CC and I'm not a small person. I am adding more cameras for future possible vandalism. I've been told the two are known in the community for their meth addiction and...

    Package thieves on Christmas eve morning.

    tangent/Fenderman, thank you! I have to admit, as wronged as I felt, you are 100% correct. I'm frankly a bit disappointed in myself because I attempt to give a lot of thought to individual liberty and libertarian ideals. I appreciate you taking the time to remind me that everyone deserves the...

    Package thieves on Christmas eve morning.

    I do too. But when there is a video of perps stealing mail why should the victim have to be the one to ensure the crime is even prosecuted? Then personally press charges. Then get subpoenad to show up in court to be exposed to the perps for future harassment?

    Package thieves on Christmas eve morning.

    Update: The two were arrested yesterday and they've already posted bond. Lieutenant told me I will be subpoenaed and must be present at their trial or the charges will be dropped. So much for justice and rule of law huh?

    Package thieves on Christmas eve morning.

    Apparently not. The code refers to post office locations but once it's delivered to a home the local police here say it' s a matter of the value of the stolen goods. So this one is a misdemeanor. Sad huh? Legally, it's like some kid came and stole my garden hose. Local news, DA, Post Office...

    Thx for letting me know. I uploaded file originally but it was huge. I've embedded the YT vid but if it stays unavailable I'll make it public. Never uploaded to youtube before.

    Package thieves on Christmas eve morning.

    Wow! How did you do that? I was just uploading to youtube (for the 1st time) so folks didn't have to download. Thank you for the advice. There's a 2nd driveway that goes behind the house to a 3 car garage that I'm trying to cover as well. I just got 2 more cams from Andy! These are 8 mp...

    Package thieves on Christmas eve morning.

    Learned a lot from this one. I live a city of about 30,000 and thought mail theft would be treated as a very serious crime. I've now learned that the Federal US Code Section 1708 doesn't apply to private residences and any crime is based on the value of the goods. In my case, misdemeanor...

    Cheap easy drop down mount for Dahua eyeball cameras.

    i think the coupler was around six dollars. The box of screws 15 or 20. Of course you only need three of them. I couldn't really come up with anything else that would drop it enough and look cleaner. Guess you would have to decide which mount for cost comparison.

    Cheap easy drop down mount for Dahua eyeball cameras.

    Hi folks, Don't know if this is an old idea but thought I would share. I needed to lower my camera and was looking at all kinds of metal electrical boxes and camera mounts. I finally ended up with a cheap simple solution. Using conduit. Or in my case a conduit coupler. It's been a while but...

    stuck on a fence between IPC-HDW4231EM-ASE and IPC-HDW5231R-ZE

    My lot is about 1/2 acre and although alI have the motorized focal length (2mp, starlight) on all cameras they all sit at 2.8. Although it is true I can't get licence plates from the street but it's beyond the 40' range. Just ordered a couple of 8mp 2.8's from Andy to compare. They are...

    What video editor can edit Dahuas .dav video and save it as .mp4?

    Beat me to it. I just used Smart Player yesterday to ID some mail thieves and make files for police. The exported AVI can be handled by Handbrake for other conversions.
