    Custom home build must haves?

    Thank you, everyone! A lot of great ideas! For the Texas heat (and I guess now the cold :wow:) what are your thoughts/experiences with Single vs Two Stage vs Variable Speed AC systems?

    With the large amount of smart and creative folks here, I just wanted to hear your "must haves" if you were building a new home. Few of my ideas: - IT/ Safe room - besides being a refuge place for severe weather, this would also be a hub to control all the home's IT and electrical - Pre-wire...

    Setting up NetTime Time Sync Tool on Windows 10

    Ok, I did not know how to complete Step 5 of TL1096's instructions to confirm if everything is working. But I do believe I figured it out with the previous screenshots I posted. As you can see now, my exported videos now have the times on them. If I missed something, please let me know. If not...

    Setting up NetTime Time Sync Tool on Windows 10

    Appreciate that, sir. I believe what's confusing me is that there is no "GMT-06:00" option within my Time Zone settings. I looked through the list twice; is it labeled as something else? The camera is a 5231R-ZE, running V2.800.0000015.0.R, Build Date: 2020-04-30 .

    @SouthernYankee, if you have the time and do not mind, I have a few questions to get my NetTime/cameras up and running correctly. I've already downloaded NetTime and updated the settings mentioned above. My questions: I'm in the central time zone (Texas), so within the cameras Time Zone...

    Setting up NetTime Time Sync Tool on Windows 10

    Is NetTime and these steps still current? Also, is this still the preferred way to track times on the cameras? Sadly, (my own fault for not figuring this out yet) I still do not have times on my exported videos.

    Blue Iris - Clips and archiving set up help

    I believe it's fixed. I deleted all the files from 2019, it was like 520 files. Maybe I didn't have BI set up to delete back then?

    Blue Iris - Clips and archiving set up help

    Yes, sir, Blue Iris in the only thing on the V drive. The New folder is the only one that has anything saved within it... I'm pretty sure I have BI set up to delete after 21 days, BUT there are files in the New folder all the way back from 2019 :confused:

    Ubiquity EdgeRouter X - Configuring to Isolate Surveillance Networks

    I read this thread again, and now have a couple more questions if you do not mind, @guykuo. 1. Will the Pre-configured file and OpenVPN configurations you provided work on an EdgeRouter 4? 2. With the set up you provided, will I need to buy more Ubiquity APs and another POE switch just for my...

    How to see if any of your smart devices or IP cams are phoning home?

    It may be old news, but I just read how Ubiquiti APs were phoning home after a firmware update. It got me thinking about my network, and are any of my devices phoning home?? I have an ASUS AC2900. My cameras (with static IPs) are blocked from the internet via the router, but I believe I read...

    OpenVPN help

    I didn't think of that... I'm not sure and cannot check right now as I am away from the network. I'm a total noob to this networking stuff, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the DDNS I set up in my router prevent IP changing issues?

    Can someone please educate me on the Dahua Exposure settings? :)

    My question within the exposure settings deal with "Manual" and "Shutter Priority". Basically which one should I use, and please educate me on why they seem to act in the opposite way. Within "Shutter Priority" when I lower the shutter, the picture gets brighter as I believe should happen when...

    Spiders and insects.

    Give this insectside a shot, Talstar P. It has done wonders for me with my insect infestation we were having (our home backs up to a overgrown greenbelt). It’s more of a commercial grade product that can kill/repeal most insects for 60-90 days depending on your location/weather. Where I buy it...

    **Correction** This camera was NOT recording direct to disk on the first video. The second video with the bitrate at 4096 was recorded direct to disk. Sorry about that.
