    2025 New Arrivals From EmpireTech

    Surely out of my price range. Why would I need it anyway? It would be fun blasting the laser IR at a certain area in the neighborhood, but other than that - no real practical purpose for me

    New Computer introduced at CES

    I'm with you. All my computers are Dell. I bought a refurbished HP Win XP Pro tower 5 years ago for my other editing suite to have available 5.25" bays for pull out rack drives and it's been nothing but problems - no preview on capture, cannot control sound in editing programs - a real heap. It...

    In my experience, I'll stay FAR away from HP products. No thanks

    WTS 4x EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE White S3

    No one is going to buy something without photos, if their smart. Too many scams on the internet

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    That's true. Is there a link to it somewhere? I don't want to order the wrong item. Much appreciated

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    That type of setup has too many moving parts for me. I use NVRs, as for me, they require the least amount of maintenance to keep the system operational. Yeah, it is nowhere near as feature rich as Blue Iris, but I have enough things to eat up my time, and most of the features wouldn't apply to...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    NVR has internet access for notification and playback of events when away from home. All cameras are connected directly to the built in POE ports. Unless I did something wrong in setup, if I enable Onvif for a non-Dahua camera for compatibility, it uses an outside port. I believe 35000.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    My only experience with using "Onvif" selection to make a camera compatible with the NVR was that the camera became visible to the outside world. It was no longer hidden by the NVR due to the port used. I definitely need to avoid that practice for security reasons. I would probably need...

    Loryta PTZ5A4M-25X Animal Tracking Example

    I didn't think this camera had sound. Was a mic added externally or dubbed in from another camera? Also, what firmware are you using on this camera?

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    You could also test with the camera mounted to a junction as that would increase the distance from the soffit. I would also experiment with moving the camera location as close as possible to the outside edge of the soffit. Those 2 things should help make a significant improvement

    Viofo randomly shuts off?

    Have had Viofo for years. They seem to work best with Samsung high endurance SD cards. I believe Viofo specifically recommends Samsung over SanDisk

    MS Edge Explorer option removed Windows 10 in latest update

    Long live Win XP Pro. For me it has been the best operating system I've used. SP3 is stable and quite capable

    MS Edge Explorer option removed Windows 10 in latest update

    Up until yesterday, I had an IE mode icon where the user icon is now on the right of the navigation bar. I would bet the goal is to eventually force an online user account so that you and all your activity can be tracked. Basically spyware. No privacy

    MS Edge Explorer option removed Windows 10 in latest update

    Ok, this works. I used to have an IE icon in the right side of the address bar in Edge to use IE mode, but that disappeared with yesterday's update. Good to know one can still use IE

    MS Edge Explorer option removed Windows 10 in latest update

    Well, with today's MS Edge update, it looks like Explorer was removed. The option no longer exists on my Windows 10 laptop. And while Palemoon does work, it is so painfully slow.

    Woman assaults witches in Salinas .. Ring camera captures as much as possible

    I agree, but it seems like there's more to the story than an unknown person passing by and deciding to randomly vandalize decorations. These two seem to have had previous encounters - or someone is just plain loco. If it's the latter, they need help

    Woman assaults witches in Salinas .. Ring camera captures as much as possible

    I would be willing to bet there may be some history between the attacker and the property owner that no one is fessing up to.

    Woman assaults witches in Salinas .. Ring camera captures as much as possible

    It's all fun and games until she picks the wrong property. Some people are quite willing to hand out an instant and generous dose of karma - no cameras needed

    Woman assaults witches in Salinas .. Ring camera captures as much as possible

    It's not like the decorations were political in nature. I guess there's a lot of mentally unstable people there.
