    Replacing Water Heater Tank in Attic

    That's one crazy attic framing job up there. I guess if you want to save living space for living, you put a.c. units, heaters, out of the way. and, good luck later.

    Mini-Review - 5842-Z4E-S3 AKA B58IR-Z4E S3 - Replacement to the 5842-Z4E (8MP on the 1/1.8" sensor)

    So, if I want smallish animal detection at night, the 4 mp won't trigger, but the 8 will. (using cam gui settings) what about using Blue Iris motion detection settings ? my 5442t ze needs a replacement.. (this cam caught animals) coons, bobacats, possums,

    The Power of Bitcoin

    mining at home, with a gaming rig = not worth it, you would stress your card too much, just to get a few cents per day. Years ago it was much better. BTC, SOL, ETH = are the staples of the industry right now, even AVAX, buy the dips, we are in an up trend, don't worry about the short cycle.

    Do we have a repair thread...lol

    Well, my sd card quit working a while ago on a 5442T-ZE, and I didn't mind it right away. So, after a while, (like today) I put a new card in, and had quite a time doing it. Well that was the problem, I forced a new card in the slot. - and it didn't work. I now had 2 cards in the little slot...

    Which camera do I have ?

    :facepalm: I just found the label, it was on the back plate, I thought it would be on the housing of the cam itself. it is the 5442 as tm . :banghead: I don't believe I separated the parts to a gang bin. It is a 4mp. Do you think this is worthy of a firmware update? it seems to work fine as is ?

    Which camera do I have ?

    I am trying to put into service an older retired turret cam that I have, and am wanting to find out which model it is. There is no label on it, and its web page does not indicate. I never labeled it before putting it into retirement. Maybe I want to upgrade the firmware. Firmware is...

    Review: Dahua 8MP / 4K 25x Starlight IR PTZ - PTZ5A4K-25X / SD5A825GA-HNR

    Thanks for that info. There is i.r. being emitted from a cam in my soffit just to the left of the door in that photo. and maybe with the glass of the electric meter being in the light path, its reflecting back to my camera. I was hoping it was not a scratch on the lens.

    Review: Dahua 8MP / 4K 25x Starlight IR PTZ - PTZ5A4K-25X / SD5A825GA-HNR

    new pic just a bit ago - no lighting at all outside, just i.r's from a cam and an emitter - the green box - had to block out a couple of planter boxes that this cam kept targeting. also notice a white spot on the corner of the outside wall. I don't know what that is, it seems to be on or in the...
