    Looking to add a PTZ

    In that case, I'd go with either of the two looney2ns linked to. They won't suck.

    Looking to add a PTZ

    There aren't really any good PTZ cameras worth having for less than $1500. I just got an Illustra PTZ off Ebay for $875. It was a pricing error and they removed the listing (they had 5 more available when they took it down). The specs match up with Dahua and Hikvision PTZs that sell for...

    Fiber, what do I get?

    https://a.co/d/0dtVVTX8 I have two of these switches that I'd like to link together via fiber. What do I need to get? The run will be outdoors and the fiber will be attached to the bottom of a long wooden walkway/bridge, so it's exposed to the elements but is mostly covered. The switches are in...

    Tyco / Illustra PTZ? Should I buy?

    Well, I went ahead and pulled the trigger! Scheduled for delivery in a few weeks. Pics and videos when it comes in. Based on the specs alone, I expect it to outperform all of my PTZs by a large margin. Just hope the brand is good quality. On another note, I just received an Illustra thermal...

    Tyco / Illustra PTZ? Should I buy?

    https://illustracameras.com/india/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/ISS02P7ONWIT_Illustra-std_2MP-500-m-Laser-IR-PTZ-Camera_ds_r01_a4_en.pdf Any thoughts on this PTZ? Google doesn't pull up much on the brand. Reviews seem to be mediocre at best, but there just isn't much out there one way or the...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    What wavelength is the SD4A425DB-HNY-R? It looks like it just has a dark tint applied to it to make it "invisible" so I'm curious if it really is a different wavelength at all?

    AVYCON cameras, any good? Worth buying a few used ones?

    hah, I offered her $10 each and she said "No, I know they're worth more than that." She's asking $20 each, lol

    AVYCON cameras, any good? Worth buying a few used ones?

    Realtor is getting rid of a dozen or so AVYCON cameras from a house they sold recently, model: EHN41FT. No info about them other than they're used. Not sure how old or anything, supposedly they work and aren't password locked so they shouldn't take much effort to get up and running. Seems like...

    Optiplex 5060 GPU upgrade and more features with BI?

    My BI system also serves as a general work computer for basic tasks - email, Word, Excel, and my kids plays Roblox on it fairly often. It's a good system, I7-8700, 32 GB RAM, and it came with a low profile single slot RX550 4 GB GPU installed. When gaming, the GPU gets crazy hot - 90-93...

    Trouble with network storage after reboot

    Well, fingers crossed but it looks like I got it resolved. I was fumbling around in some windows security/firewall stuff and noticed it was saying I needed to verify login details for my microsoft/windows account. It sent a code to my email, plugged that into the box, it restarted and problem is...

    Trouble with network storage after reboot

    Yeah, it did change it. First time after update, that entire page was different and didn't even let me select private/public. After disable/enable cycle, those options opened up so I could put it back to private. Works fine until next reboot when another disable/enable cycle is required. There...

    Trouble with network storage after reboot

    I've got my Aux 1 folder set to a network folder on a different PC in my house. I only use this for long term storage of clips I manually save. Nothing happens on this drive automatically. Recently Windows did a big update or something (the reboot process took 15+ minutes and gave me a big...

    Blue Heron Eats a Bass

    I've seen them swallow bass nearly twice this size, but they lay them down on the dock and use their beak to break up the spine first. Makes a nasty mess for me to clean up. I guess they can manage this size fish without shattering the spine first...

    Blue Heron Eats a Bass

    This is an example of why I went from recording only on triggers to continuous recording. This didn't trigger an alert, but my thermal camera 100' away did trigger so then I was able to go back through the recordings and find the clip from the camera on the dock. I've caught so much wildlife...
