    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    The image transmitted from the Dahua cameras I have is inferior to what the optics and sensor are capable of. Easy to see by using ROI on a small area, which gets significantly clearer while the rest of the image turns to you-know-what.

    Why I hate phones...

    Mine can sit "off" for a couple of weeks without the battery going down at all. I realize that's not proof that it's fully off. Just in case, one of my requirements is that any cell phone I have has an easily removable battery. This is getting harder and harder to find.

    Less security and fewer cameras? Cut down during escape attempt?

    Earthquake off coast of Russia - Tsunami heading for Hawaii

    Not if they were there measuring earthquakes in prehistoric times, when all the big volcanoes blew, when the mountains sprouted up, during the ice age, and other big-event time periods. Never say never ;)!

    My reaction was to giggle, with the king of foolish and inflammatory statements accusing somebody else of foolish and inflammatory statements.

    Why I hate phones...

    Same here. When I'm at home, the cell phone is off. Sometimes when I turn it on I pick up week-old text messages and/or voice mails. Many can't understand why I won't leave the tracking device on 24x7.

    Unable to log in to one of my Dahua cameras via the Dahua NVR interface

    It may very well be 24 channel. Here's one to see. https://www.dahuasecurity.com/asset/upload/product/20180824/DHI-NVR5424-24P-4KS2_Datasheet_20180824.pdf

    Alert on simple contact closure. Any suggestions?

    This is the one I might get someday because you can hang it on a POE port anywhere on the network. Another version with added relay outputs is a bit more $. I can't confirm that it works ok with BI, but everything I see sounds like it should. eI/O PoE Modbus TCP w/ 4 Isolated Inputs

    All you're going to do is send it to Andy. Then the tariffs will create a budget surplus, you'll get a check from that, and send it all to Andy. Except maybe for some gator food.

    SmartPSS Lite on a mac - trouble getting connected

    smartPSS Lite runs pretty well under Wine on Linux. I wonder if it would work with Wine on MacOS? The M4 chip certainly makes it less likely, but something called Rosetta supposedly built into the mac lets it run x86 code. Just thinking out loud. It could work, or turn into a big time rathole.

    Low-cost label maker

    If just numbers is ok, you can use the adhesive backed number labels from the electrical department at Home Depot, etc. For roll your own labels, Brother has at least a few low end models under $50.

    Flat Ethernet cable

    I'm not trying to be the forum police, it's that these posts really annoyed me. I went from grumpy to grumpier.

    Flat Ethernet cable

    I can't help thinking this post and another similar one busts the rules. "Businesses or individuals representing businesses are not allowed to post outgoing links, affiliate links or advertisements to their products / services or solicit members in any way whatsoever. This will be considered...

    Andy's NVR vs Blue Iris?

    Since I've been comparing use of BI's UI3 to smartPSS, I don't want to accidentally leave the impression that they're similar technology-wise, because they are very different. At a high level, BI's native interface is similar to a monitor connected directly to the NVR. UI3 is the rough...
