    RF Detector?

    Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I have a feeling our property is being bombarded with RF to jam/interfere with electronics in our dwelling. I can see a large coil of wire leaning against the fence at the neighbor's house across the way facing us. That is relatively new addition. There has been...

    RF Detector?

    Any frequency that would interfere with the normal operation of electronics equipment. Possibly 1Mhz to 3Ghz?

    RF Detector?

    Is there a handheld device to detect RF and where it is emanating from? It would be helpful to show signal strength to pinpoint direction and closeness. Hell, it would be a bonus to show the activity/events of the RF in real time as well. Any suggestions?

    PTZ scheduled presets

    Well, I didn't change any settings and it's working fine. It zooms into the 2 intersections from 7:01 to 19:44 and then switches back to side street overview from 19:45 to 7:00. Works perfectly

    Used EmpireTech NVRs?

    It's a little more than what I want to spend. The NVR is for a shed in our yard with 4 cameras. Trying to do this on the cheap, especially since I'll need a drive which are pretty pricey right now

    PTZ scheduled presets

    Ok, I tried to setup two tasks, one to move it to preset 7 between 19:45 and 7:00 and the other to preset 4 between 7:01 and 19:44. I've enabled the tasks, but it is not executing the tasks during the proper time period. I also cannot select "All" from the schedule. If I do and hit save, when I...

    Finding a used 4 or 8 channel NVR on the cheap

    I'll stick with Dahua. I know the brand. I don't want to complicate things by having Dahua and non-Dahua devices

    Finding a used 4 or 8 channel NVR on the cheap

    Ok, AliExpress is no deal. Their prices on Dahua NVRs with POE are almost retail, with some well over retail price. I can get an NVR4108HS-8P-4KS3 for $200 plus shipping from my source, AliExpress is in the $280 to $350 range

    Finding a used 4 or 8 channel NVR on the cheap

    Well, I've been futzing with trying to order on Alibaba. When I inquire about the NVR, it says that Dahua is a sensitive word and cannot be used. If I remove the word Dahua, every request comes back with suggestions that comes nowhere close to what I was originally trying to order. I think...

    Finding a used 4 or 8 channel NVR on the cheap

    Ok, how about a Dahua DHI-NVR4108HS-8P-4KS3? I presume it would have similar bandwidth per channel as the NVR-5216-16P?

    Weird NVR behavior

    No and no. I only use the NVR GUI to view cameras when I'm working in the office

    Weird NVR behavior

    Recently noticed random selections on the NVR viewing through HDMI on my LG monitor. Most of the time, the monitor is off. Sometimes when I turn it on to view the cameras, a single camera will be displayed, not the camera overview screen. It happens very randomly. It may not happen for a week...

    I think I found it. It sure looks similar to the one you have: https://www.homedepot.com/p/AWSENS-40-Watt-180-Degree-White-Motion-Activated-Outdoor-Integrated-LED-Security-Flood-Light-with-PIR-Dusk-to-Dawn-Sensor-AW5472-WH/320196021

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    I don't think you're using this far from home or even possibly at home. It's 230 volts and uses a special VEAM mains plug. At 24000-watt output, you're drawing over 100 amps at 230 volts. In some small homes, that would be over the limit of a 100-amp electrical system
