Build an affordable P.A. system for my driveway?
Hi guys, thanks for your interest and help. I will respond to all comments/inquiries soon, but I'm preoccupied: Assface has resorted to tossing his household trash bag(s) onto my driveway area as of early this morning (oh, and he switched it up from Jack in the Box to McDonald's). Okay, for...- Steve.L

Build an affordable P.A. system for my driveway?
I'm all for getting the whole thing documented as an incident with event timelines and all, but there's apparently no way to do so without a crime having been committed, at least here in San Jose. Call on the phone, they direct you to their website...go to the website, and answer a bunch of YES...- Steve.L

No more DST!
I may have misunderstood but I think the way our local news stations presented it was that the change, if implemented, would make DST permanent, thus the clocks stay bumped up an hour as they are now. -

Build an affordable P.A. system for my driveway?
:rofl: Mr. Microphone, yes, a classic! Thanks for the leads. Garage is attached, so no buried cable. I do need a mic of some sort. Did you see the member who posted the bear spray video? He made a comment in that video that is quote-worthy: "GET THE FUCK OFF MY PRAAAHPERTY!!!" It's a...- Steve.L

Thieves park directly across from driveway
I see no point in trying to catch them, the PDs don't even want to catch them. And it's not like it will teach them a lesson, thievery is their occupation, and the justice system is just a revolving door, they're out in no time and back to work come the next Monday. Better to just avoid the...- Steve.L

Build an affordable P.A. system for my driveway?
My google-fu is failing me today. PA systems are priced quite high online, I don't need a live concert system :rolleyes:, just a couple basic bullhorns and an amp/transmitter, or whatever the proper lingo is. I want to be able to yell at assholes from inside the house while monitoring my...- Steve.L

My resident nesting great horned owls
That is SO cool, thanks for sharing. I have a bunch of manually recorded video of the house finches outside my kitchen window doing their thing with their nestlings, but this is on a whole different level, like researcher stuff. Very neat. -

Day/Night mode best practice?
Yes! If I'm not mistaken, @bp2008 doesn't even use that utility anymore, right? Didn't he write some scripts that work with the BI profile manager? Or does he use a combination thereof? -
Day/Night mode best practice?
Yes, I think I think too hard! That'll be awesome if it works that way, I'll try it. Maybe where I've been going wrong is that "Picture" tab you're showing above...I've been going 4 bullets down to the Day & Night tab and mucking things up in there. So you're saying under Picture > Day, I... -
Day/Night mode best practice?
Thanks. Yes, that part's easy, but the problem remains... When I go into Profile Management and select "Schedule," then set day/night times on the gray/orange slider bar, then go back to the Conditions Tab > Day & Night > Profile, the only options in the pulldown are Normal, or Day, or... -
Where to buy more black rubber plugs for G3/4" openings of Dahua mount PFA130-E?
Yes, they're an awesome supplier. And in many cases (ALL of my cases), the shipment arrives "next day" even though it's standard ground*. They have trucks continuously going to the airport all day long. *Disclaimer: this may be based on my proximity to their Southern California branch, I'm...- Steve.L

Day/Night mode best practice?
@wittaj, Can the Dahua profile manager be used to switch between day settings and FORCED COLOR night settings? Or can it only be used to force the switching time between day settings and IR night? As you know, there are many, MANY discussions about this already floating about IPCT, and in... -
Where to buy more black rubber plugs for G3/4" openings of Dahua mount PFA130-E?
McMaster-Carr, they're sure to have it. But it's gonna be a bulk of some sort, like a 25-Pack or something. Just type "rubber plugs" in their search field and myriad results will present. Click on any part number link for any type and "product detail" will show a 2D CAD drawing with all your...- Steve.L

who breaks into cars with an axe?
Damn, that ring video runs circles around my 2231's all night. Mine would be blurry as hell, and I've tried all the suggestions provided by the helpsters herein to crispen things up, no joy. I hope the 4k-X that just showed up puts this shit to rest, I want me some crisp night video :mad:- Steve.L

New to BI- Windows install questions
Hi @Neftci, If you did a clean wipe, then the Office applications won't be there after the fresh OS is installed from the USB. For what it's worth, I too did a Win10 Pro "clean" install this past December and was shocked at how much Windows garbage came along with the package. It actually... -

Blue Iris settings issue
Hi Brian, A couple of things: It looks like you are measuring in gigs because your drive is so small, and that's your C drive, which is probably an SSD (solid state drive), whereas if you have an HDD (hard disc drive) which is larger, that is where you want to be storing video clips. If all... -

Good LPR Camera Choice?
Where are you in the game? Do you already have a PC or NVR to hook it up to? IMHO the best way is PoE with cat5e ethernet cable, click in and done. Then log into the cam with Internet Explorer and initialize it, then set it up (configure it), then add it to your VMS and start streaming to...
