    How many cameras do you have inside? Any? Am I going overboard?

    I would be more concerned with your smart phone/smart TV remotes (Roku, Xumo, etc) listening in on what you are saying. I always try to physically disable the mics on those handheld remotes. They scare me.

    How many cameras do you have inside? Any? Am I going overboard?

    Inside cams are a great benefit. You can see if anyone is really inside your house when gone. I keep the local Sherriff's office phone number on my phone, and if I call 911, our local system plays the 911 audio to the responding Sherriff officers and you can give them a play by play on what is...

    Turret cams and wall mounts. How do you protect from rain / elements ?

    You did not state what manufacturer of turret cams you are mounting. I always try to mount my turret cams under the roof overhang, but have 4 Dahua 5442 series turret cams mounted out in the open. They have been there for years w/o any water issues, except grime build up on lens. Last year we...

    Password is wrong and GetEvents error?

    I have had the same problem with a Dahua T5442T-ZE camera. I was going to factory default it, but removing ONVIF Authentication solved it for me too. Glad you brought this up. Looks like I may be removing ONVIF Authentication on all the cams too.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Wow! Even more reason not to use Signal for any secure comms, let alone ANY comms. There needs to be a very big shakeup here. The politicians are stupid for not bringing this up, but we already know this. This Leftist bitch also runs Wikipedia. I will never believe anything on that site...

    Gunshots outside my house - On the news

    Good story Mr Pizza. I feel for you. I hope you keep an AR rifle at the front door, and maybe a few sandbags. Keep us informed, you have some good stories/videos! Please mount that PTZ out by the road for facial recognition.

    Smart Watches for camera alert notifications

    I have never been a person that likes jewelry or watches hanging on my body, but I got a Google Pixel 3, 45mm watch last year for free from my Medicare Advantage Plan provider. It was suppose to be for tracking fitness. I have a Pixel phone and sync the watch to the phone and receive Alert...

    Best practice - put dummy load on unused wifi when removing antennas?

    It is Always good practice to have an RF port terminated. Sometimes the router will let you adjust the RF output power also. When an RF port is unterminated, all the power is reflected back to the source. This creates a standing wave on the RF line and can emit RF energy into the digital...
