    Qontest: Win a BRAND NEW free 2TB WD Purple Surveillance Drive

    I went to the NIKE STORE and bought their most expensive shoes. Next day I returned them. I told them "They hurt my feet when I stand for the National Anthem".

    Cams showing "No signal" during daytime

    Just a guess but your cams may not like having to support more than one stream. I have had that happen when I tried to run two main streams on a camera. As to time of day could be they are set to reboot in the morning. Not all cams have the ability to support two main streams.

    I am running 4.7.9.0 and no problem with Logitech Alert.

    Blue Iris won't recognize Logitech Alert cams

    Well that looks like the ip address is OK. Is User and password correct? Looked at mine and only difference is "Skip initial HTTP DNS and reachability tests" is checked. Not sure what that is although I haven't read the help file on it yet.

    Blue Iris won't recognize Logitech Alert cams

    Correct there is no way to set a static ip on the Alert cams. But some routers allow you to set a reserved ip address so that they will always be assigned the same one by dhcp. Otherwise the Alerts may get a different ip address every time they power cycle and BI will still have the old...

    Blue Iris won't recognize Logitech Alert cams

    I still have one and it works fine after recent updates. You do realize they need to have a reserved ip in your router or they may change addresses?

    What is causing this pulsating video (DH-SD59225U-HNI)

    I have seen this to a lesser extent and believe it is when an I frame comes along and as @wopi82 stated , bit rate is too low and codec freaks out. Indulge me here and set the I frame interval to 100 and see what happens. I am curious. Also would increase bit rate and cbr, but would be very...

    Network cable termination

    EZ45 had a bad rap initially, but they have fixed that and are the most common tool I see in the broadcast data center world now. I was reluctant at first, but believe in them now mainly because of the installer feedback. This is mission critical shit and it passes spec. No worries now. Agree...

    Cat5e length question

    So since you have chosen shielded cable, make sure you ground it at least at one end. Can be a pain but necessary with stp cable. I don't have experience with surge protectors but have to wonder if that would add to the apparent length of the cable and therefore performance on a run which may be...

    Seems to be a pattern of behavior. Glad you came clean, well, somewhat.

    Will this desktop suffice for Blue Iris (BI)

    Sounds like you are proceeding quite well, congrats! You will need to configure each of your cameras by logging into them using a browser like Chrome or whatever you prefer. Each camera must have a unique ipaddress and that is what you will enter in the browser for the url. I.E. "192.168.1.108"...

    Tariffs and Dahua

    Seems that "definition" might be a bit of an over simplification. I do like the analogy about "clips" though. I used to be one of those obnoxious self important gun aficionados who would interrupt someone when they said "clip" and say "you mean magazine, if it has a spring and a follower, it's...

    Tariffs and Dahua

    The last year the US had a trade surplus was 1975. Think about that. 43 years of taking it up the ass. When you no longer can produce more than you consume, you are forced to sell off assets. And that can only spell disaster. Let's hope our President succeeds for the country's sake.

    Cat 6 Wire Recommendations

    You seem quite emotional but have not answered my questions. Perhaps that is too hard for you, if not, take a shot at it. I'd love to hear an actual scientific answer from you. You chose instead to engage in ad hominem attacks against me. " I am stupid" "I have a stick in my butt" "I throw BS"...

    Cat 6 Wire Recommendations

    Not to be a shit, but: What would be the difference you think you have never seen? Have you done any empirical measurements? Do you have a $14K Fluke analyzer? That would be a pretty good indicator. Otherwise it is conjecture, intuition, opinion. Or how do you say, Bull Shit

    Cat fail

    Check under your hood, those guys can do a lot of damage chewing wires and vacuum lines. I've tried everything to keep them out of my truck that I don't drive often enough and have only had success with these bags of sweet smelling herbs. Rats hate the smell.

    Cat 6 Wire Recommendations

    The difference between cat 5 vs 6 is not about the length of the run, but the throughput. While cat 5 is probably adequate for most of us, I think I'd step up to cat 6 since the price is negligible. But cat 5 is a bit easier to work with.

    Belden or Superior Essex Cat6 cable?

    Belden is still made in the USA and the most respected cable brand among professionals. But that Shireen stuff looks OK, Maybe better, just never used it. Can vouch for Belden.
