And I have the same newfound appreciation of BI.
Really you have to get pretty granular to decide which may have that one AhHa feature or capability that makes an impact. It may not be blonde vs brunette but it’s pretty close.
I volunteer to help as do all of you because I enjoy helping, the subject, the people and we’re all nerds to a degree. And I learn something every week.
Mostly I try to stay in my lane. I don’t jump in HIK or BI discussions, rarely anyway, I handoff Networking questions beyond the basics to Pros, i don’t touch ANY scripting or programming questions, I defer to some of the really smart Pro installers we have here from Poland/UK/US/Oz/ for insight on Dahua advanced features and real world results, their take on the technology and where it’s going fascinates me.
Biggest challenge is that 90% of the world doesn’t give a shit about the stuff we do. They’re perfectly happy with their Ring or other wireless cam and that’s all they know. Most just want to stick it up, turn it on and have TV magic appear on their phone. I tend to not get involved with those unless they ask “is there something better” and give the impression they’re willing to learn and do some work to get there. Those are the most satisfying to help because I was there once. We all were.
