    Will these work for BI and x cams

    Question! So, they closed and went for 112. There are still some 7040 and 7050 left that ends in a few days. Let's they don't have hdd and os system, what would they be worth? Would $150 be too much for the 7050 as example. If not I'll bid that high and see if I can get em. Or 200? Also...

    Will these work for BI and x cams

    Thanks yall, I have some bids in on 3 of them. Later this week they have a dozen 7050's and I see that those are 2018 model so I'd much rather get one or two of those so we'll see.

    Will these work for BI and x cams

    Yeah I figured for the price it's worth the gamble! Doesn't come with HD's or windows but I can install that. I wouldn't mind spending a few hundred on a machine that I knew would do the job, but if I could pick one of these up and make it worth and have the same amount in it with several...

It kind of looks some are different so they may have specific lenses per install location. On the exterior they have 4 general exterior looking back at the hotel. It's pretty...

    Did a quick IR test tonight with 3 different IR illuminators

    Yall need to see his reply with the deer. That looks incredible and it's with the 20w. Perhaps the extra wattage brings down the shutter. That deer isn't blown out or anything. That video really should be added to the original post at the top. Nice.

    Looking for a Non Chinese made NVR

    I'm in the process of choosing either an nvr or desktop with BI. 18 cameras sounds great. Curious though, what is the specs of the cameras. 4mp, 8mp or 2mp. Just curious because if I can run (8) 4mp starlights, some 2mp lpr and a couple AI PTZ then I'll probably go that route. Idk.

    Rack installation for 16,000 sq. ft home

    Awesome stuff. Out of curiosity, I'm guessing it's all top of the line movie theater equipment.

    Blue Iris Computer - Good deal?

    Yet another new lorex Costco kit. 4k IP Fusion + alarm kit

    Yeah, I'll double check and make sure what the fps is. I think it's. 10fps 4k on all 8 channels I called lorex and asked how many wireless alarm sensors could be added, and if they counted towards the 4 wifi cameras able to be added to the dvr. Ie. Doorbell camera etc. He didn't seem to...

    Yet another new lorex Costco kit. 4k IP Fusion + alarm kit

    I wrote that wrong my bad. It's ** not ** the best. Just easier. I would rather have the right focal length yes, so if I could find the dvr and add the sensors and then the right cameras from Andy my friend would get the easy lorex app and the right cameras. Pending the camera work with that...

    Yet another new lorex Costco kit. 4k IP Fusion + alarm kit

    I now have 3 friends who want a system that fits this perfectly. Don't want an alarm monitored but do want door sensors on an app. Sounds like this kit fits perfectly for them. I see the sensor on the website but it has no price. And I can't find info on how many door sensors you can have. I...

    Yet another new lorex Costco kit. 4k IP Fusion + alarm kit

    A buddy called me and said him and his neighbor are ready to pull the trigger after waking up and his truck was stolen. A 3rd neighbor had arlo cameras, but all were dead except one. And the one only got a corner of the road with his truck leaving at 4:30am. I figure just pull one of these cams...

    New Lorex system at Costco - What do you guys think?

    My local costco has this kit on sale for 699. Curious about it as well, just to be curious. I need a 16ch so I won't buy it but still interesting to see what the big box stores are selling. Heres the box numbers and stuff if anyone needed it. This is southeast USA.

    Boop by the mail lady

    Camera is a shit 5-50 about 75% zoomed. 12fps. Aside from that, mail lady boops the trash can because it's in the way. No damage but glad she didn't break an $80 trash can. Distance from camera to Mailbox 120 ft And the trash guy who didn't intentionally put it there.

    New Dahua install

    Interesting. Here, public property is free to be filmed and if you're on public property you are also free to be filmed. Even more, if you're standing on public property you can film anything/anyone you see from there. You could stand on the street and film someone in their yard... Not sure...
