    Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

    The price of gasoline has now risen to $4.00 per gallon in my AO. Up from $2.70 less than a month ago. This is the highest price I can remember since the 2005- 2006 era…during the peak of the second gulf war. My brother was deployed in Iraq at that time. I remember prices at around $4.50 -...

    Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

    Would appreciate some help with a Hikvision camera if possible please.

    APC backup power supply questions…

    @samplenhold @TonyR @rdxny I appreciate all of your insights here. Some follow up questions: In your experiences, what are the worst case scenarios that could result from NOT employing an APC unit? I guess this is a situational/ hypothetical question. I understand that they offer surge...

    APC backup power supply questions…

    Greetings friends, I have a couple of APC back ups that I had to pull from service recently due to the alarms going off on both of them. Both units have been in service for about 5 years. According to my research this indicates that the batteries need to be replaced. One unit is a “Back-UPS...

    Unable to access NVR GUI over LAN via IP

    Correct! I contacted LTS today and they provided me with an unlisted “in between” firmware version to upload first. Then I uploaded the latest version from the download center. It’s much more modern and is a big improvement. Thanks!
