    Timberrrrr!!!

    Now that’s flying over my head (pun intended). I have some practice flying in case of an emergency, but have a lot more experience jumping out of one - Hooyah

    Timberrrrr!!!

    De-icing a propeller is also very important as it harms efficiency and balance. Of course I was joking in my original comment but seriously, there is a good possibility that it wouldn't have fallen if thy blades were spinning.

    New way to get buy-in on EmpireTech cameras

    So true! My church wanted to spend several thousand on something similar (PTZoptics) and got them up and running with a SD49425XB for less than a nickel.

    The official "WTF" thread

    This idiot is on probation for drug convictions and goes to visit her PO with a purse full of drugs that were found on X-ray when entering the jail building. "Don't get high on your own supply"...

    Wall of shame

    The good thing was that his wife was out with the kids at that time. That hole was like having the oven door open, you could just feel a current of hot air continually blowing into the house. I was able to patch up the hole and cleaned up most of the insulation before his family came home. Funny...

    For those that do not know...use IE browser for Dahua (and others?) camera GUI to see more options

    I set up a NVR5216-16P at my brother in laws dental office and set up Chrome Remote Desktop so I can access the system and adjust the camera settings. After logging in to the NVR/Settings/Cameras and clicking on the blue IE icon, I can reach every camera accept for one; just get the standard...

    More litter

    Make sure you don’t leave fingerprints on the beer cans since putting them in a mailbox it technically illegal; not like they would actually report you.

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-PFW5849-A180-E2 - Dual Lens 180 Degree Full Color 4K (8MP Stitched) Camera

    I noticed something for the first time today; a car parked in front of my house that looked a little smushed and then saw the middle window on the house across the street. After playing around I found that 85m was the best setting for the horizontal splice but the vertical alignment is still a...

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    Thanks. I thought that since it was always running that it would be in the system tray or somewhere.

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    Sorry for the stupid question; in my defense, I am a mac user. Finally had enough time at home to set up my network, firewalls and now the BI PC; once the day/night utility is up and running, where do I find it again so to edit?

    Camera Recommendations

    I found this website after ordering a Lorex system and looking for advice on camera mounting recommendations; luckily I was able to return the Lorex order. After emailing Andy, he provided great advice on what equipment was best for my needs and then I placed an order, and another, and...

    RJ45 Ethernet connection issues

    One other recommendation, actually two. Most cables, have a string inside, remove just a little of the outside sheath and then pull the string the rest of the way; this assures that the cutter doesn’t come close to the wires. 2nd, I prefer to use a stand alone cutter/stripper, look for one...

    RJ45 Ethernet connection issues

    I roll each wire between two fingers to remove the twist. Then I put them in order while pinching with one hand, I use a side-to-side motion to get the wires to mold together. I didn’t have anyone to hold my phone so propped it on some containers, hope the video helps

    Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 and whether it is a smart purchase?

    If you are getting the non-poe version, pay the extra $30 and go from 16 to 32 camera version.

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-PFW5849-A180-E2 - Dual Lens 180 Degree Full Color 4K (8MP Stitched) Camera

    I am very new to this camera and haven’t had time to fine tune the settings. This camera doesn’t have IR but the illuminators. Since mine is for overview and not identification, plus the fact that I don’t like how the illuminators look, I have them turned off. I have attached shots from midnight...

    I'm back in town and took advantage of the 50deg weather to finally install the camera and play with the new camera interface. Am I blind, where is the option for Day/Night auto switch? @EMPIRETECANDY can you help?
