    Lorex marketing sure does work

    I think most people are conditioned to think this way due to home video, cameras and phones. Of course, it doesn't help that the typical knowledge of security camera brands and technology comes at us at every big box store.

    PSA for those purchasing new Dahua NVRs NVR16CH-AI-S2

    Thanks! I have avoided P2P so far but good to know for when I am able to work with my NVR.

    Installing an Axis speaker to run the door checkers off

    Maybe setup a powerful sprinkler system with an audio alert and timer. "Intruder alert. System armed. T-minus 10...9...8...7...6..."

    How do you help your neighbors with recommending and installing cameras?

    If I were to be asked by a neighbor, I would only be a conduit for what I have learned here. And they had better be DIYers because I don't have the time needed for my own setup. :lol:

    Notes from the Swamp

    I get that. I put out cameras to monitor rodent activity and have found unexpected enjoyment seeing my various four legged neighbors doing their thing in the dark.

    So, wait - that cat, that isn't yours, has you trained to respond to it's calls for feeding at 5am? And then it probably goes home for it's owner's feeding for it? So many quips to be made here, that I will abstain. Too easy.;):lol:
