Understood. I was just referring to the potential cost difference for my existing system with and without CUDA turned on. Yes, it doesn't make financial sense by itself, and in hindsight l should have used this as an opportunity to replace the motherboard/cpu instead of an excuse to pull the...

I don't know what typical idle load is for 4770K, but you're right that this is probably a bit high. It's been overclocked since day 1 which is definitely going to increase the power cost a bit, plus I just looked up typical idle power draw for hard drives after your comment and it sounds like...

Just for another data point, I did some testing before & after installing a gtx 1070ti card in my approx. 6 year old system, running 9 cameras. The 4770K i7 cpu supports h.264 quicksync but I've only been able to use it successfully with my 4 (newer) Dahua cams. The other 5 cameras are older...

Missed that. Thanks!

Speaking of degrees, I see angle markings on the camera bodies themselves. Can the cameras be rotated a full 90 degrees for vertical orientation like the turrets can? We've got a storefront with a small alley on the side and this could be perfect if I can get a vertical-oriented FOV in both...

Under the box would probably be reasonably safe, and probably nobody would ever notice even though you're right it's not vandal proof. Like my theory on running my cameras cat6 cables under eves and behind downspouts with no conduit for protection. If somebody is knowledgeable enough and going...

Honestly, I didn't have much expectations of success transmitting from inside a steel box either, but my wife has great faith in my ability to make the home automation stuff do whatever she wants (in this case a text msg when the mail has arrived), and wouldn't have anything to do with my...

Thanks. I like how you modified the solar motion sensor to keep everything charged. That's way more complicated in some ways than what I set up. I've already got the whole house wired for home automation with Insteon controlled by an ISY994i controller, so I've just got an Insteon wireless...

Thanks for all the suggestions, and the link to the cliff notes. Hadn't ever considered a doorbell cam, but thats a good point about the lower angle. 2 cameras with one over/near the door and the other farther out pointed back at the porch for packages is sounding more and more like the way to...

New to both ipcamtalk and dahua, but just received my first 2MP starlight turret (from Andy), and it's so much better than the cheap foscam/insteon cameras I've been using that I'm now trying to plan the best upgrade strategy for the rest of my cameras, starting with the front porch. I really...
