    Front Door Camera Placement Question

    Since I have a Dahua OEM NVR, so I was considering the Dahua DB11, Amcrest AD110 (Dahua rebadged) and also the only economic POE doorbell from Yoosee I agree that there isn't a good POE option yet. I prefer a wired solution so first looking at the Yoosee doorbell. Reading from its thread, it...

    Front Door Camera Placement Question

    I was planning to use a bullet camera with voice and speakerphone for the front door (and already bought it), but couldn't find a good location for it. Putting it above door level doesn't get a good look of the visitor, putting a camera at near eye level next to the door simply look bad. So...

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    First, I don't have a Aeotec Siren 6 yet or Yoosee doorbell (I went with Amcrest AD110 which works with my NVR to record only when motion is detected, Yoosee doesn't send motion event for NVR) I will probably get a Aeotec Siren/Doorbell 6 when the price is right. It was my original guess when...

    Amcrest SmartHome Video Doorbell Camera AD110

    I found the installation instruction for the Dahua DB11. https://dahuawiki.com/LincX2PRO/DB11_Physical_Install If the rebaged AD110 acts the same, gDMSS Plus should be able to add it as Doorbell, not ONVIF or RTSP only. And it can be fully configured using gDMSS Plus including a "Ring Linkage"...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    The problem I would say is what he said are perfectly fine if it's in a brainstorming session (HCQ, disinfectant...) and the way he said was exactly like giving out some idea to explore, but that's not appropriate during an official session. We always encourage people to speak out their idea in...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Can't just do as simple comparison with Singapore. Singapore had dictatorship for over 30 years and it has been so successful because though as a dictator, Lee Kuan Yew was a great leader. Even now the government can set any laws that they like, e.g. regular non-herapeutic chewing gum is...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Regular flu didn't overload the hospitals. And I should add that the doctors and nurses do not wear full gear PPE when treating regular flu but they do (or they should) for COVID-19 but still many got infected and even died.

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    NYT journalists must have short term memory. WHO said there was no evidence of human to human transmission.? WHO said it was not likely to be pandemic? WHO said other countries should not close the borders? Everything WHO said was wrong

    I think the relief checks base only on filed tax return record, do they? We have yet to file 2019 return.

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    My wife got the deposit of $2900 already, 2 adults 1 kid. Too bad they used our 2018 Tax Return since we haven't filed 2019 before we heard the news. As a result, we didn't get the $500 for our baby who's going to be 1 year old. So, $500 to the pool.

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Here is a little fact. During SARS in Hong Kong, there was one building (talking about over 20-floor buildings) within community got multiple infections and then spread further in that community. The reason found was the design of the drain pipe in buildings of that community causing the virus...

    Amcrest SmartHome Video Doorbell Camera AD110

    I'm trying avoid using only the Amcrest Smart Home App which requires going through their cloud, so it will ring only if there is Internet and connects to their cloud service. Seems using just LAN is not going to work with the ring function.

    Amcrest SmartHome Video Doorbell Camera AD110

    Are you able to get notification from the doorbell in gDMSS when the button is pressed? The original post I replied said "2-way talk works in both the Amcrest SmartHomeApp and the Dahua iDMSS Plus. Although, when ringing, it defaults to the Amcrest SmartHomeApp. " So, if SmartHomeApp is not...

    US-made brand?

    The question is are you willing to lower your wage and sacrifice some rights at work? when people can't even sacrifice some rights to stay home. If labor cost is anywhere close to what's in China, companies for sure will consider to move their factory back... if possible. Labor cost includes...

    Not new from China army (tried not to use Chinese as that refers to a broader group of people including those not in Mainland China). CPC's "stability funding" each year including spending for Internet army is more than military funding.

    My wife had good experience in recent pick up of diapers, might be a few days before they required lining up to get into the store. They're well ready to go when she went to the counter. Your experience sounds like what I used to have at Lowe's (no wonder it always lacks behind Home Depot), the...

    Many things at Sam's Club website has free shipping only for PLUS membership or store pick up. Order pick up is simple, and not requires you to go around the stores, except the waiting in line. And I think it's fine if you have to make a trip to replenish grocery items I also tried to order...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Japanese have the habit of wearing masks when they're sick, that's really considerate for others, but it's not for protecting from others. Also, common practice for allergic to pollens. Hong Kong and others only started doing that after SARS but far not as common as in Japan.

    Those should be the dust masks, not medical grade, I could find still those (unrated) for shipping in Feb or might be Mar. But now even those are long gone.

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    The fact was true only for those believed what WHO said. Before mid January, after the news of the Wuhan Pneumonia (that was its name at that time) or new SARS, people in China, Hong Kong and Macau started to stock up medical masks. When there were confirmed case in Hong Kong, Taiwan around...

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    I believe mechanical chime only needs a short pulse and that's how the door bell button work. You don't hold the button, you just press and release.

    This reminds me you will be in jail wearing this, or even posting, if you're in that other country. We can enjoy freedom but also abuse freedom in harming ourselves and others.

    Amcrest AD110 chime options with DC instead of AC?

    If you already have the 8-12V AC chime already installed, might be you can just add a 24V relay which powers both the relay and doorbell and have the doorbell trigger the relay in. (I'm not exactly sure it's the correct one that will work, someone with better knowledge can correct me)...

    This guy is a joke. Tried to pull off discrimination trick when all around the world, not just that single harmless country, is blaming him, and WHO, for his incompetency.
