    stored video folder size over quota?

    I've had an ongoing problem for a couple months now and just haven't had much time to address it, BI keeps telling me my stored video drive is over quota. I've deleted all files from the drive multiple times and even deleted the folder and tried using a new folder but with the same results. I...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret

    Is there anything in the pipeline for the varifocal yet, bullet or turrett? I'd love to give these a try but anywhere I'd want to put them I'm using over 6mm of zoom currently. Sorry if this has already been asked recently I've been out of the loop for a couple months.

    Review-Dahua/EmpireTech Dual lens IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2 (The Boobie Cam Upgrade)

    Okay, so I got everything working today. The wife was out and the kids were at school so I had some time uninterrupted. I was able to get everything running when I opened Edge and then ran it in IE mode. For those that might not know if you open Egde and go into settings, default Browser...

    Review-Dahua/EmpireTech Dual lens IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2 (The Boobie Cam Upgrade)

    I tried Pale Moon same results. It downloads and installs but doesn't work. And yes they must have got me the last time I had to restart and wouldn't let me do so without updates because I was loading web right out of the config tool app. I will have to look into this deeper later tonight...

    Review-Dahua/EmpireTech Dual lens IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2 (The Boobie Cam Upgrade)

    I've spent the last couple hours trying to install the plugin for this cam and I can't get it working. I read through and preformed everything on this thread multiple times about deleting plugin, clear cash, firmware update. finally I went to read the reviews on the plugin and multiple people...

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

    I took a minute and had a look at the soffit today and I think I can move the 5442 closer to right edge and put the mini PTZ out a little further to the edge and closer to the gutter and make it work. It would be the optimal position for the PTZ cam to get the most coverage on the front and down...

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

    I’m not using J boxes, I have 2x6 scabbed into the soffit and have the cams directly screwed into them. I do understand your saying about the IR bounce though.

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

    Has anyone mounted this PTZ directly behind another cam say a 5442 turret? It appears it would be tall enough that the base alone would clear the other camera.

    Is an upgrade worth it?

    I was thinking of upgrading my varifocal 5442EP ZE's to prime fixed focal length. Would there be a worthwhile investment here? I was also wondering how to know exactly what focal length I have my camera set to. When I log into the camera via the IP address and go into zoom and focus it just has...

    Heated Driveway vs ANOTHER Buffalo Lake Effect Snow Storm // December 17th-18th, 2022

    I was wondering what the cost to operate it was I'm glad I watched all the way through. I also thought it was funny that so many people thought it floods the neighbors and causes huge icing problems.

    Move over San Fran Philly is winning!

    When I drove through Kensington a few months ago it had been since the beginning of the pandemic since I had worked there last. I was in literally shock I couldn’t even get my phone out to take pictures. I was so astounded at the literal piles of bodies just laying on each other. It is the...

    server rack or similar.

    I found this last night. Unfortunately they just listed it earlier in the day. Im not sure how much negotiating power I’m gonna have since it’s fresh on the market. It has APC G5blk power filters and a Dlink des 1024d. I don’t really have any interest in the filters or switch but it has a bunch...

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    I just got this utility running tonight. very nice tool. I couldn't get one om my cameras to switch to night profile though. I fell back and went through all the settings twice and did the resets turns out I entered a 9 instead of a 0 in the IP address for that cam. always check, check and...

    I think my dumb ass was in a hurry Friday morning and threw out my rack mounts for my TP link though. I believe I left them in the box and put out for trash.

    I'm in need of some sort of server rack or some sort of similar idea. Right now I have a tanker desk and two drawer file cabinet on the left with a shelf on top of the cabinet and a stack of amps pre amps and computer gear. The space is 24" w x 42" d x 30"h. It's all pretty organized but I have...

    Honey, I think you are getting carried away.

    This is still a WAY cheaper hobby than stereo equipment or collecting war memorabilia or off road vehicles.

    Is there a 4MP mini wedge?

    I'm trying to finalize a few more indoor cams and was wondering if there is a 4MP mini wedge. I have the 2MP mini wedge installed as a crib cam it works well. I came across this but I'm unsure of the black face and it's a bit more expensive too. Maybe I can take it off and give it a shot of...
