    Recommended ANPR camera for residential use

    I did, which is why I'm not crazy about the 700 nM range IR. For my purposes, it would have to have the 850 nM IR to be useful to me. It seems the LPR-431 EmpireTech LPR431-Z8 1/1.8" CMOS 4MP 10mm–50mm Vari-focal Starlight 4 is the only real choice, but that's close to $900. Out of my price...

    Recommended ANPR camera for residential use

    Unfortunately, the first 2 you list are "sold out" on Andy's site. I have three of the B52IR cams currently pulling LPR duty, but I am looking for a stand-alone ANPR setup where all info is captured by the camera and one can connect with a dedicated computer to view the info. I prefer not to...

    Recommended ANPR camera for residential use

    I know it's a pretty broad question to ask, but does anyone have any suggestions for an ANPR camera in a residential area. It would help to have some real-world experience to compare. I'm looking for something that can be set up as a stand-alone ANPR

    EOM (End of Marketing and Sales) for 5442-S3 announced

    It's all great now while there's still 5442 camera inventory available, but what happens when there's none left to buy? At some point, even the 5442 cameras everyone owns now will need to be replaced due to lifespan limits.

    EOM (End of Marketing and Sales) for 5442-S3 announced

    Unfortunately, it's in every industry. Cheaper parts, cheaper labor and the company executives make more bonuses. Planned obsolescence. We're next

    WTF? FCC orders a ban on the import of all new foreign-made consumer Internet routers

    As soon as they mention it's about safety, it's for their safety, not ours. Little by little these types of decisions chip away at your ability to live your life as you want to.

    WTF? FCC orders a ban on the import of all new foreign-made consumer Internet routers

    Oh, one could always label it as an ITCD (Internet Traffic Control Device)

    WTF? FCC orders a ban on the import of all new foreign-made consumer Internet routers

    Hmmm.... looks innocent enough, I'm sure it won't attract attention to government. Should be easy sailing :secret:

    WTF? FCC orders a ban on the import of all new foreign-made consumer Internet routers

    Welp, that's quite a bit of demographics. Basically, the average Joe is screwed. If I'm not mistaken, the majority of low-cost routers destined for the residential consumer market are manufactured in foreign countries. Pretty soon, you won't be able to buy anything you can afford. You'll own...

    What good will buying banned equipment do? You won't be able to sell it online cause they will ban them from eBay and other similar sites including Facebook.

    Traffic Camera Captures the Ground Crumbling Below Cars at a Stoplight

    Seems too perfect of straight lines not to be a man-made phenomenon. Sure looks like a culvert under that spot that collapsed

    But it has "Stab LOK" so it must be good, right? Buzzwords always make things fancier (pinky in the air)
