    Superbowl drinking and gambling thread

    I hear ya! You can call me a conspiracy theorist but I believe all that crap is rigged and stumbled onto an interesting fact; if the chiefs win the eagles will have 666 wins and 666 loses. The satanists who control all this bs would love that.

    Superbowl drinking and gambling thread

    Anyone else firing the smoker up today? I quit giving a crap about sports decades ago but here in KC when the chiefs or Royals do well it’s good for my clients and gives them more money to spend on me!

    Best current deal on 1000ft of Ethernet cable, RJ45 Connectors, and a crimper?

    But I like true cable for all my aerial and direct bury projects.

    Best current deal on 1000ft of Ethernet cable, RJ45 Connectors, and a crimper?

    I wouldn’t spend the extra money on 6 unless I was wiring up 10g networks. Plus the spine sucks working around.

    2.5 vs 1 gbit Ethernet nic

    If it’s the same cost go for it but it probably won’t make a difference; your bottleneck will be your hard drive and file system.

    Dahua DVR-Xfinity Modem

    I don’t know what they’re charging you per hour but I’m going to guess it’s between 120-140. This is not “highway robbery.” That’s my rate here in KC and I’m on the cheaper end vs my competitors like SEI, SIG and C & C group who are all 30-40% more.

    DISABLE: The video has been playing for a long time. Are you sure you want to continue playing it?

    This is annoying as hell, lots of clients I have tablets set on stands to stream live view across LAN, now they all have to constantly click continue. Dahua has gone down the shitter over the last decade and the new company that bought NA hasn’t impressed me yet in the least.

    best/funniest audible alert for cams that have that capability

    Recorded an mp3 for a friends of me yelling “honey, someone is here, get the guns,” followed by the sound of a cocking Binelli!

    Ready to pull my hair out - QSee

    Holy cow, I haven’t heard qsee in 20 years! Back when there was only high end; Bosch, Honeywell and pelco, or cheap; geovision, qsee and swann. Most were 24vac back then!

    Connecting NVR to Smart TV (for live view/playback) via Local Network (not LAN cable)

    Sorry Tony, I’ve always been able to either get hdmi or Ethernet extensions to clients TVs. But I’ve got one that was an upgrade with it that after a few years is still going strong. I think like everything you have to spend the money on the good stuff; few hundred dollar mark. I’ll be out there...

    DMSS works for Live View but not Playback

    I’m also a fan of this for if the internet goes down in the middle of the night I can still get alerts.

    Lock zoom of Dahua IPC

    You could probably make a user account with no permission to zoom on the camera and use that for device credentials.

    How to reset Dahua Nvr4216-16p-4ks2 with only ConfigTools Application

    If you don’t know the password for the nvr and you don’t have access to the email/if one was even used when initialized, then you’d need an engineer to tell you what 2 points to short on main board because unlike cameras, there is no reset button.

    New PTZ cam from Andy question.

    I wouldn’t worry about it then. I’ve got a few still operational in the field a decade later that tour 5-8 presets on the smallest intervals.

    New PTZ cam from Andy question.

    Is it inverted? I mentioned in another thread I’ll bet that wears the servos out faster. You can feel how much easier it moves right side up vs inverted.

    Can’t Access Camera

    You can try plugging a laptop into one of the poe ports on nvr

    Power demand night IR

    Was wondering that as well. I’m all for energy conservation but worrying about camera IRs would be #587 on my list of priorities! Turn your hot water heater down 1%, that’ll save more than your whole cctv system uses

    How to install when there is no attic?

    I’d just go through crawl space and use gutters or corner seams of siding to hide wires.

    I can never get a water tight connection!

    I’ve always just used the ones that come with the cams and then put silicone around it.
