    What model PTZ is this

    This is a new camera at a railhead I work out of every now and then.

    Cable modem question

    Does the speed of the cable modem matter when you have it in bridge mode? I have been having interweb issues on and off for a few weeks now and just narrowed it down to the cable modem I think.

    Wildlife capture with curious car passing by

    These guys have been crossing my front yard every morning now for a week or so now. This is the best video I have found. Last week they came through the back yard with a total of seven but I don't have a camera on the back yard yet. Haven't seen these guys around here in a few years.

    Blue cave vs ac68u

    Leaving out price and aesthetics, what are the real world pros and cons of the blue cave and ac68u? I see a lot of people on this site are pretty happy with the ac68u but does the blue cave gain or lose anything over the 68?

    Searching for a desktop for blue iris

    I'm looking at this desktop to run around a total of 10-12 cameras. Most are going to be 2mp and a couple of 4mp cameras and maybe in the future a 8mp camera. I would like to record at 20fps.
