    Planning to buy NVR any suggestion and brand

    Skype? I don't Skype. Wiring isn't a problem. I've done some cat6 & jacks in bedrooms and the living room back to a router. Finishing wiring might be my problem as I lose focus.

    Planning to buy NVR any suggestion and brand

    What are the cost comparisons between a 16 channel NVR and a comparable BI/PC; using up to a few 5442 type cameras. Not asking about a system price. Just the comparison price of an NVR and BI/PC. I have no confidence or ability to change a BIOS in a PC. It's easy for someone who can do it, but...

    Planning to buy NVR any suggestion and brand

    What are the cost comparisons for NVR and BI/PC in the 16 camera range? One thing I like about an NVR is in a power down situation it restarts back to recording without a human interface on power up. I'm moving sometime next year but still need to put something in place until that time.

    Pan/tilt servo available?

    Looking for an affordable servo that pans and tilts by remote for outdoor use. I have a thermal camera similar in size to an IR turret type (although a bit larger) that I want to utilize in an outdoor environment to rotate and tilt. The camera weighs a pound or so. Something for outdoor use is...

    Cooler thief hit neighbors house

    The more crime you have, the less they look at lesser crimes. The home invasion non-response would be infuriating. But if someone robs a bank the police are all over it.

    In 3rd world countries everybody who can afford to uses security walls and security doors in a similar way that our crappy neighborhoods have bars on their windows and doors. Formerly safe and secure middle class neighborhoods in Western nations are entering that phase as the 3rd world...

    Trump Campaign Sign Being Stolen

    Lots of Biden Harris signs in my heavily Republican area. It's like that in neighborhoods with lots of government employees. The Joe / Kamel ticket. My neighbor had the blue Trump sign along with a lot of other candidates. It must've been stolen because now it's gone and there are two black and...

    2 Thieves in 6 months: IP Cam Recommendations

    Dennis Rader, the BTK serial killer, would access garages and use a utility knife (Stanley knife) to cut open a hand hole beside the door knob to reach in the house and unlock the door from the inside. You need plywood separating your garage and living space for this reason, not just beside your...

    Goodyear Virtual Signalling Bites them in the @ss

    Listening to the recording of the Goodyear meeting (you can hear dissension from the crowd) it appeared to me the bossman was trying to quell factory floor tensions where the BLM supporters were wearing BLM attire and another group was responding with support of other groups and efforts, which...

    Avigilon 5.0-H3-D1 questions.

    These 3 pics below and no description is all there was. The description said they are ~"auctioning off camera and surveillance equipment. Condition unknown" No specifics. No count or variety of anything. I went and looked it over and found 8 empty drop ceiling cases but there are 7-8 old JVC...

    Avigilon 5.0-H3-D1 questions.

    What are they worth in dollars? I let the next guy win them at auction. There were 4 of these, about 8 JVC domes from 2004-2005, 8 empty drop ceiling housings, several electric junction boxes with unknown devices(if any) inside, and 25 of something that resembled very large motion detectors...

    Avigilon 5.0-H3-D1 questions.

    I've located a few of these DOME cameras and wondering what anyone has in experience relating to them? It's an older discontinued camera, so can it be controlled and with what kind of software? They were removed from a payment processing center in an upgrade for a location that handles...

    Rack gear placement location in house. All these cables...

    There's a little elevated humidity in the basement and we run a small dehumidifier. Suspending the rack gear higher toward the ceiling should help and I'm adding a branch from the air handler, but two times a year the HVAC doesn't run much. My PA gear is down there and seems to hold up ok.

    any deals out there for cat6 bulk roll?

    Locally I saw 500' of cat5e at $65 at the big boxes, but didn't look at multiple stores for more product. That's a good tip if available. Southwire is known for a good quality product. Monoprice delivered quickly for what I bought.

    Rack gear placement location in house. All these cables...

    This house is a 1960s basement rancher (which means very little closet space even for clothes). Basement is mostly unfinished yet but with a small den and bedroom as well as laundry and wide open spaces. Back on the main floor there are 3 bedrooms with one being used as an office. All of these...

    Night Prowler

    The knuckles looks more like a vaping device or meth pipe. A house fipper bought a house in this neighborhood and put his convicted felon 38 yr old son in it to watch over it. He proceeded to traffic in some substance for a few weeks before the owner was notified. He once came over around noon...

    Fox with kits on thermal

    I kept catching glimpses of the fox at night on my cheapo IR stuff and finally did some work to create a patch cable to a thermal camera a couple weeks ago. The time stamp is accurate. In another video in the day light I captured a funny vid of the fox giving a try at a groundhog who was having...

    I hate dumpers...

    Got behind some human garbage with a mattress bungee corded to their minivan entering the interstate during rush hour. The top speed was 20 mph before it started coming off. I wonder what the collective IQ was in that van doing that at that time of day? For trying to go the minimum speed I got...

    I'll get the UTP then for the bulk of wiring. The outside stuff, shielded and grounded as reasonably as I can convince myself to spend on it and where it seems needed.

    any deals out there for cat6 bulk roll?

    We have plenty of lightning strikes here in the Southeast. The house is a basement rancher with some runs in the attic and some in the basement. I've been in paralysis over this cable choice for too long. What to buy?

    Why don't I want Shielded cable in my house? I know it's more expensive, but is it worth it for an unemployed person to crack for the cost?

    Help with identifying animal abuser!

    That's the Saul Alinsky approach from Rules for Radicals. You charge your opponent with a false narrative to put them on the defensive so you can attack them instead of accepting the reality you have been forced to acknowledge. Your purpose is to troll and it takes no imagination to troll. It's...

    Help with identifying animal abuser!

    If the dog is regularly barking at someone in their own yard while they're minding their own business, then the dog is definitely disturbing the peace beyond your boundaries and you need to remedy that. It doesn't matter what excuses any dog owner makes. Period. Since the neighbor has none of...

    Covert outdoor camera. Disassembly required for this.

    From memory they have poor low light characteristics, which make them not worth while, but I'll check again.
