    This is why the generally accepted position (at least at IPCamTalk) is: "Don't update firmware unless absolutely necessary".

    Wasn't it Mark Twain who said the problem with stupidity is, it's limitless, while the capacity for genius is quite limited?

    Another windows attempt to make you throw away your PC

    Every time MicroSlosh Winders Update screws up something (and that's quite frequently, these days), I'm increasingly thinking of permanently switching to Linux on my laptop.

    I need your help with my system regarding a 12V IP camera (non-poe)

    First thing most folks here will recommend is to ditch the copper-clad-aluminum wire. It's common to see issues with CCA cable.

    Windows Update - here's a new one

    Yup, most indoor cameras are disabled while we're home. Enabled whenever we enable the alarm system. Home Assistant Automations and MQTT are wonderful things.

    Windows Update - here's a new one

    Wife said the Master Bedroom camera wasn't appearing on her iPhone. Cleared all her apps on the phone, restarted BI app, still not appearing. Head upstairs, pull power from the camera, reapply it, camera goes through startup process. Get laptop, connect browser to camera, yup, it's working...

    Hallo frage zur Firmwarewechsel

    Translate.google.com says: I’ve been running two Ctronics CTIPC-258 5MP IP cameras with the corresponding P2P client (v6.5.5.3) and have generally been satisfied with them. I wanted to add a camera in a spot without a power supply, so I tried to set up an ANRAN solar camera—specifically the...

    Router replacement question

    What alastairstevenson said. Better yet, IF that Xfinity router allows you to export a backup of all settings, USE IT.

    The official "WTF" thread

    I'm honestly shocked we haven't seen a ton more "news" items like this in the last few years. Watching the drones walk by, face plowed into their phones, oblivious to the world around them.

    Why do so many people here dislike Wi-Fi cameras?

    Builders and contractors are notoriously lazy and ill-informed. If you don't demand something, it's not gonna happen. Low-voltage wiring wasn't something the electricians wanted to do during our renovation, so I did it myself. Installed Cat-5e solid copper (best available at the time) and...

    Why do so many people here dislike Wi-Fi cameras?

    I've got a few WiFi Amcrest 1041 pan/tilt cameras around the house, wired where possible. We hear them reset/reboot/rehome at least once or twice every day. Apparently something isn't particularly stable with this model, and it causes a camera reboot. Worst case is in the kitchen, where the...

    What the Flock is going on here!

    Received the same letter about two or three weeks ago. We know for a fact we're not due any refund, so WHY are they asking for our bank account information?!? It turns out, one of the charges we paid was a few hundred high, and we dutifully paid it, and the most-generous IRS (?!?!) wants to...
