Ok cool. So just a couple more questions about the ones you recommended.. They have all the same AI features as the 4K? Since the other ones have obviously been out for years, does the 4K have like better hardware specs that makes the AI run better (Wildcat made a mention about the 4K not...

Oh I didn't mean it would be something done all the time requiring constant database work... Current uptime on that server is like 9 months as of now, but outages tend to happen in the summer here. :lol: I was just wondering if BI was capable of importing non-native files to where it could...

@wittaj Ok fair enough. You're absolutely right, Im going off my DSLR experience, not my security experience (been out of the loop for a while, the last time I installed IP cams for a customer they were still pretty new consumer tech - my primary experience goes back to D1 systems that used VHS...

Ok I wasn't sure how these do the recording. I figured it would be just a constant FIFO loop like a car dashcam (which don't seem to have recording issues, even on the dirt cheap ones - so it's odd that these would)... Good to know it's configurable though. Can BI take "imported" clips from...

Ok first off, I don't want you to think I'm trying to argue. I'm just trying to understand and maybe it's not clicking with me, and maybe I'm not being clear with my intentions... But I never said I wanted to do as big an area with one camera as possible.. I didn't even consider the 2.8mm...

I live in a second floor apartment. I can only install things in my own space. I can't put anything on the downstairs neighbor's area or on common areas. So that limits me to the railing (still 14 feet up) or the eave. No way at all I can get it at 6-7 feet or any closer to my parking spot...

Im not following... Wildcat's review for that camera at 3.6mm puts Recognize distance at 80 feet and Identify distance at 40 feet... 6mm would be higher. Another video I saw of it showed you could read a license plate at 50 feet using digital zoom.... That shed is roughly 65 feet away - my...

(Paging @EMPIRETECANDY to this topic, as I have a couple questions direct for him as well :)) When I originally joined here years ago I had my sights set on some Dahua cams and Blue Iris. I needed to do cams on a very limited budget, so I was entertaining all options.. Ring was doing their...

I LOVE IT!

I don't see how it could, unless he really is a closet pedophile... People here of all people should know that there is absolutely no expectation of privacy outdoors. There is also absolutely no legal basis to force someone to stop photographing or recording anything in public from their own...

When the kids are out there, go out with your phone/video camera and act like you are recording them. Lick your lips and hold your crotch while doing it. Bet they start keeping the kids inside at all times. They might even move to get away from you.

True. And unless your home internet speed is 100Mbps or higher, or you transfer files between computers, you wont need gigabit. However, you say your rather "buy new".. rather than spend a hundred bucks on a used one.. Keep in mind those used switches cost a couple thousand dollars when they...

Watchguard. Yes, it is running pfSense. And yes, those are for the VLANs. I could have put them all on one port but it was just easier for me to structure it that way. Exactly. Look how many ports are populated for my 2BR apartment... :D I haven't gotten around to it yet but the fans in...

Mine has been in use for 3 years now, no problems. Before that I had a 3Com 24 port PoE managed switch in use for 6 years. I had also bought it used on eBay for about $30. Only changed because I needed more than the two gigabit ports. This Nortel is all gigabit.

My recommendation is aways to look on eBay for used enterprise pulls. They are workhorses and will still have plenty of life left in them, although you will probably want to replace the fans. They are managed, so you can do VLANs to keep your traffic separated, and have PoE available on all...

Actually your state has no say in it. The FAA considers drones to be aircraft, and it is illegal under federal law to do anything to cause damage to someone else's drone. We're talking fines into the hundreds of thousands of dollars and up to 20 years in federal PMITA prison. If you use a...

Friend of mine is a K9 handler. He calls his partner a Belgian Landshark.. I've always known them as Maligators.. :D

It's not really abuse. It's only being flexed a couple times during knotting, and technically the knots are of acceptable radius, but the real issue would be the pairs are split wrong. Orange is way longer than green, and brown is way longer than blue. Had brown and blue been used for the...

That... is actually really f'n cool! I would be very interested to know what a cable certifier would say about it.

My guess is that it wasn't his image, just one that he found posted somewhere else. Imgur links don't go dead unless the file was actually deleted by the user.

You are never required to have a license to install your own cameras. Every state that requires licensing has an exemption for self installation of your own system. If the store tells you otherwise, you can cite 19 NYCRR §195.2 (c): A license is not required for the installation, maintenance or...

With most equipment nowadays having worldwide power supplies that can work just fine anywhere from 90-264V (100-240 +/- 10% which is the standard tolerance), voltage regulation is far less important today than it was years ago. Power supplies are also far more tolerant of dirty power than they...

^^^ This!!! And then the next level of that is "why did it take me so long to VPN my cell phone through it?" because it knocks out in-app ads as well!

Did ya'll see the new lithium iron phosphate drop in replacements for lead acids? Theres a 12v 10Ah (same size as 7Ah SLA) that can deep cycle 2000 times for $100 a piece. You can even get a 24V 260Ah pack good for 3000+ deep cycles for only $6500! :D

That's basically what a PicoPSU does. However they dont make them over a few hundred watts. You cant really have anything simplistic like you suggest though because todays computers lean much more heavily on the 12v rails, and once the battery starts draining it will go out of spec very quickly...

This is not an online unit. It does do AVR, basically it maintains output using different taps on a transformer to buck/boost irregular voltage to a certain degree (I think its +/-30V), but once it goes out of that range it switches to battery. It doesnt do frequency stabilization but honestly...

Theres a few out there, but having your own allows you far greater flexibility as far as the lists you use, blacklists, white lists if a particular filter breaks a site, etc. For example theres a filter on Easylist that breaks video streaming on Certain apps like A&E and Food Network. Using the...

More like "Return policy subject to manager approval, likely to be denied on 8 year old product". Just google it and you'll see it's a nightmare trying to return old products, not to mention it really makes you look like a douche. No thanks.

I don't want the little ones, I want another enterprise one because they can be adapted to an external battery pack without fear of cooking the charger. Next battery replacement I was planning on getting four 35Ah wheelchair batteries for it, which would give 5x the runtime of the built in pack.

Mine just beeps continuously as soon as you pull the plug, the overload indicator is on, and it reads 0V output. It does not come back on when it's plugged back in, you have to turn the switch off, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on.
