    UPS battery backup

    I just plugged everything in to my kil-a-watt. It’s hovering around 100-120 watts. That’s for a pc, Mac mini, 8port poe switch, 2 routers, and dc fan. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    UPS battery backup

    The 1350 is $42 cheaper then the 1500 currently on amazon. Out of the 2 that seems like the best deal right now. I’m just wondering how much of a sacrifice the 1350 would be compared to the 1500. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    UPS battery backup

    What UPS do you prefer and why? I’ve been looking as several units but when I start reading reviews of them failing shortly, almost burning houses down or just being glitchy I hold off. Is there anything solid and reliable around or under $200? I intend on powering the bi pc, Mac mini, poe...

    Also spray down inside the rf45 end of the cable. Water can get inside and real havoc on the pins. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fried at connector troubleshooting

    Clean it and dry it with appropriate water displacement spray. Make sure your cat cable is unplugged from poe also. Last thing you want is to keep power on it when it’s wet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Break in line, in wall,

    I have no experience with that particular instrument. The lowest cost device I’ve used is a fluke ts100 and it was good for short lengths of a few hundred feet or less and was best the shorter the length of cable being tested. Which was the main reason I used it, for instance when I had gotten...

    TDR (time domaine reflectometer). There are several types of TDR s out there from basic digital display to full on graph display. You just need something basic. Try to find someone who has one. Mine is an $8000 piece of equipment but I use it daily. Tone and probe won’t work for an unbalanced...

    How do you review recorded footage smoothly?

    I’m still new to ip cams but I have an i7 6700 with 16gb ram and I can watch mine as fast as blue iris allows without a hicup and barely any cpu usage. So yours sounds very abnormal to me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Can blue iris detect a dog taking a dump?

    I watched a recording of my dog taking a dump last night when I went through my clips this morning. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Verifocal zoom powers

    When adjusting a verifocal for a location how do I tell what power or lens size I have adjusted to? For instance my 5231 goes from 0 to 2390 and I’m trying to figure out what fixed lens I need for that location Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cable Installation Questions

    My favorite is when I pull extra cat5 cable and a catv or satellite guy comes behind me at some point and uses the spare cat5 to pull coax. But whenever I see a hole with a pull string I usually think someone put that there for someone other then me. And if I can’t verify what that hole and...

    Cable Installation Questions

    The problem with pull strings run with existing wire is it will likely cut into the existing wire when used to pull a new line. I’ve seen pull strings cut grooves through sweeping 90s even. Cable grease helps a lot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Life of CPU if 24/7 recording with Blue Iris

    I totally understand what you are saying. It was already in the pc when I got it and it’s not a big power hog. With my systems current draw per day the entire system with cams should cost me $50-$60 per year in electricity. That card probably consumes less then a dollar per month. And my core...

    Life of CPU if 24/7 recording with Blue Iris

    This thread just made me want to put my Kil-a-watt meter on mine. Just the pc and switch are running around 62-65 watts together, and the 21” monitor is only adding 12-13 watts with blue iris on the screen. I would think the number of cameras would also matter since the load of the switch will...

    Anyone use point to point wireless?

    Ok that makes sense. Basically someone would have to be in the wireless path and have a desire and ability to hack in to it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Anyone use point to point wireless?

    So will it be secure? Would there be a way to not only run his cameras at his house on my bi pc at my house as well as share my internet with him without having to worry about his cameras gaining access to the internet? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Anyone use point to point wireless?

    Just curious. I am still new at ipcams and I am setting up my house as we speak. But once I get my small project going I was considering putting some cameras up at my dads house that is maybe 1000’ away. Is it possible to do it securely? If so is it also possible to run cameras and internet...
