    Chuck Norris Gone....

    Lots of humorous comments here but let’s not forget that Norris was one of the very few action heroes that could actually back it up. The guy was legit all the way around. One of the top American martial artists of all time.

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

    Well it was a shot in the dark but at least I had you in mind. :)

    Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

    Maybe it’s the new digital TrumpCoin….the future of crypto…. Or perhaps she is referring to the Trump Phone that we all have of course been eagerly awaiting…. It is possible that she may have been referencing the latest edition of Trumpy Bear? Our most favorite and highly prized and...

    @scooby73466 Earlier today I was gifted a used HIKVISION DS-2CD2343GO-I…..a family member of the DS-2CD2342WD-I that you posted about. I connected it to my network and encountered the same issue you described. After going through the factory reset process that I detailed, the camera...

    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 -...

    I really hope that you are right and that I am wrong.

    Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

    I really feel that this Iran endeavor will prove to be a tremendous mistake for us. The entire mission (if you want to call it a mission) revolves around Israeli influence on US politicians. If the “I” in “AIPAC” stood for “Italian” we would all be standing up together against that...

    This war is a complete shit show. I had really high hopes for DJT at one point. Now I realize that he works for Israel.

    People seem to forget that developing countries are outpacing the West by a huge margin

    An old WW2 vet that I knew visited China back in the mid 2000’s. He has since passed away. I’m pretty sure he only visited Beijing. He told me “Jim….they are so much farther ahead of us….” He looked down and shook his head as he struggled to form words to cement his point. And he was right...

    Usually there is a screwed on plate with a rubber seal underneath. I’ve never worked with that particular model. There’s gotta be a reset button on there somewhere.

    Try factory resetting the camera. If there is a small cover on the camera body unscrew it. You will likely find an sd card slot and and a black button. Remove the sd card if one is present. Connect the cam to a poe port. Allowing enough time for it to boot up. Press and hold the button for 30...

    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...
