    So I roughly have installed a 5442 6mm birdhouse camera on lamp post 50' from my front door....with tire slashing incursion discussion

    Is that the camera that recorded this video? Because she is Squarely looking at THIS camera and looking at it from a couple of angles. MAYBE she doesn't see the camera, but she at least suspects one in this spot. If the cam that recorded this is NOT the secret CIA cam, then what did the Secret...

    So I roughly have installed a 5442 6mm birdhouse camera on lamp post 50' from my front door....with tire slashing incursion discussion

    I know why.... because your neighbor doesn't have cameras. She is clearly looking squarely at your new cam placement, checking it out. Among the things I don't quite understand; Did she slash your neighbor's tires? Do you have multiple other views? Did your siren go off? (Not that it should in...

    Deer alert, dog dispatched

    Now, that's cool. I can foresee your next innovation will be the automatic operation of the doggy door, based on the deer detection system. way cool

    Monoprice TVI IR PTZ looks suspiciously like a Hikvision...

    Well, technically.... we can still buy new floppy discs. What I’m hoping will come along is some new whiz-bang replacement of traditional WiFi. Something Uber-fast AND inherently more secure. Something as radical as the change from analog crystal transceivers to digital-spread-spectrum radios in...

    Monoprice TVI IR PTZ looks suspiciously like a Hikvision...

    This called “Necro-threading”, btw. It is a bit glaring how different the tech is a mere three years on. Still using TVI? Still running RG6 CATV cabling? This weekend I’m remodeling and while at it, actively Discarding/removing Coax that was previously installed for CATV/Dish/Direct and now ALL...

    Morning Neighborhood Car Thieves

    Now, there’s another new debate technique! Oh well. Door checkers absolutely make livid. I recall being at a hotel in CA and at 2:30AM there were five or six men on bicycles checking every door handle in the parking lot. I had to leave at this time every day and everyday they were circulating...

    Morning Neighborhood Car Thieves

    Are you serious? You’re equating forgetting to lock the car door with LEAVING THE KIDS IN THE CAR OVERNIGHT??? I sure as heck hope you’ll actually discover real debate technique rather than sophistry. Do you lock your car door EVERY SINGLE TIME you step away? You stop by the house, but you are...

    Resetting Ipc hfw1831ep

    No evidence of any moisture intrusion in the connectors. No staining, no corrosion or discoloration. When assembled, the connections are all secured at the top of the box. As a side note: the upper white portion of the cam is plastic and will snap off...alas, nothing there.

    Anyone? Is there another method or a process to try to verify the silly thing is truly and fairly dead?

    Resetting Ipc hfw1831ep

    I asked this previously months back and was told the button was behind the front cover. I did not actually need to test that at the time, but now, I do. One of my 13 cams has stopped working (no signal) so, I need to try to reset before giving up and seeking out Andy and warranty...

    Good sale for BlueIris machines Dell Vostros with an i5-10400 and Windows 10 Pro

    Looks like a good deal. I'd want to verify how many 3.5" bays and SATA ports just to see if it will support two surveillance drives. I'd bet it will.

    So I roughly have installed a 5442 6mm birdhouse camera on lamp post 50' from my front door....with tire slashing incursion discussion

    Seriously, consider law enforcement. She is clearly unstable, fixated on you as her target, clearly willing to perform premeditated acts of property damage, repeatedly. Erecting a new barrier is NOT going suddenly make her timid. It's not likely to elicit "oh, a fence! OK, I'll leave him alone...

    Restraining order makes all the perfect sense, at least in the realm of unsolicited internet advice. How long before she 'steps up' to arson or bodily harm? She seriously needs incarceration. Could be the 'turning point' before a better life. Maybe something can be filed regarding "spousal...

    Anyone seen this error before? "FORCE quitting CGadSocket thread"

    I don't want to cause more confusion (that usually follows in my wake) so I won't link the thread here, but I ran into a large amount of problems a few months ago as I began my BI adventure. Now, understand that I had a LOT of difficulties and MOST of them I initially blamed on buying the wrong...

    New PC for BI - HDD size limit

    I can't prove this, but I strongly expect that you'd have better NIC performance with a dual-NIC PCI-card compared to using USB3 for networking. Also, as I recently found, doing playback with all the cameras on the screen is greatly improved when running two HDDs and having six or seven cams...

    Burglars run after getting fright on their life

    "Please Leave the Area!" cracked me up totally. I immediately thought about it saying "you are being assimilated" or "All your base are belong to us". Despite the humor, I get the effect was real. What i would replace it with: (speaking directly into the mic) Hey YOU! STOP! (turn away slightly...

    New PC for BI - HDD size limit

    The HP linked above has a single 3.5" HDD bay. In the offered configuration there is a 2.5" SSD (laptop format) mounted in a caddy, occupying that 3.5" bay (based on the info that I have found and assume to be accurate; I haven't actually seen the machine). If using this machine, you would need...

    New PC for BI - HDD size limit

    As with so many other things, especially guy things there is a high likelihood that you will want to make it bigger/faster/stronger (more capable) later. It's a good idea to get a box with at LEAST two available drive bays. Keep in mind that it's a simple step to swap to an M.2 boot drive, if...

    New PC for BI - HDD size limit

    To second the above, get a machine that supports "M.2" cards and use an M.2 SSD as your "C" drive to boot Windows and run BI. M.2 SSDs are cheap, super fast, and they are perfect for serving as your windows boot drive. By using the M.2 (instead of a spinning disk HDD) for your boot disk, the...

    So I roughly have installed a 5442 6mm birdhouse camera on lamp post 50' from my front door....with tire slashing incursion discussion

    You might do well to simply drill say, a 3/4" hole in line with the IR lens, rather than make the slot way bigger.

    So I roughly have installed a 5442 6mm birdhouse camera on lamp post 50' from my front door....with tire slashing incursion discussion

    The IR lens, I believe on the 5442, is below the rectangular cutout of the lens opening, therefore it is also below the rectangular cutout in the birdhouse so it's lighting the back of the wood.

    So I roughly have installed a 5442 6mm birdhouse camera on lamp post 50' from my front door....with tire slashing incursion discussion

    Love it! I'd probably put some black screen to block the entry of birds....just to avoid whatever contamination of the box that would result. Clearly, if you did want let them in, you'd need to add a 'floor' over the cam and there wouldn't be much room anyway. I find that having a cam actually...
