    Dahua WiFi over Imou Series

    Dahua is my only brand, but when inexpensive wireless devices are required, Imou is my first choice. That includes the 4MP PT Cruiser (V1) and 2MP Turret (V1). Testing the Dahua 5MP PT A500, it surpasses both in terms of detection. The Dahua include the “IVS Smart Plan” (not sure about the new...

    SOS: Missing Mount

    Sharing my experience. Sh&@$ happens! Not a common issue, but in case you lose/break your Dahua/Imou mounting plate, this mod just saved my day. I cut/grind the top plastic notch on each hole (3), in order to level within the base surface (smooth). I widen the middle guided hole, in order to...

    Bring new life to my old boombox

    No longer being used since my ipod touch stop working many years ago. Installed a pre-amp board, in place of the ipod docking, using the same original inputs. Now my boombox is revamped with wifi, usb, airplay and bluetooth. Not bad for a 13 years old unit

    Timed NVR relay output

    It came to an application in which I need to keep a load turned ON for an x amount of minutes. My toolbox only included inexpensive timed board which worked just the opposite, turning-on delay for suppressing rush current during power on cycles. If this may be your case, and you will like to...
