    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    The spike isn't arguable, the actual numbers are. No tinfoil hat here. Not a conspiracy thinker by any means. It's just obvious the numbers game that even laim stream media is starting to report and lack of real data of people that had it and haven't been tested because they didn't have tests or...

    Moving and upgrading my camera system.

    As I sit here staring at pictures of our new home at 3am I have questions running through my head. Most of my cams are the 2mp turret starlights purchased about 4 years ago. Do you place them as close to the wall as possible and point them to just miss the side of your house? Further away from...

    If I find out my wife is pregnant I'll be grabbing some good stuff.

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    That wasn't necessarily to you. I just took two muscle relaxers after weed eating and mowing a shitty property we are selling. I can barely move.

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    We all do not need to agree. I've been on both sides of the coin on how I feel with this. I spent most of my adult life in the DC metro area. I have friends that have since retired that are on private sector fema like teams. I've stayed in the loop since retirement. Everyone just keep being safe...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    This number circled is the problem. Until antibody tests are completed on everyone we are going simply on those who got sick enough to be tested. A study in LA is showing they have a 50x or higher rate of infected and very low death rate. If we find out that instead of 1.5 million people were...

    She just ran to get one of the more expensive tests. Quarantine baby. Jeesh. And thanks!

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    We will just have to agree to disagree. Have a nice day. My wife just took a pregnancy test and it came up with a faint line.

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    And again. Until you know how many asymptomatic folks or people that were sick and did not have access to tests you just can't have an accurate mortality rate. When all is said and done and we know who has antibodies and who "actually" died from the virus the numbers will be similar to the flu...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    By the way, I have 30+ years in Fire and Rescue and directly interact daily with folks on the front lines. I'm not saying the virus can't be serious. It obviously is. Until we know how many actually had it, the mortality is only a guess.

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    There is no complete data. Data is far from accurate and according to LA County study of people with covid19 antibodies there are 50x plus more people who had it and didn't get tested, go to the hospital, or even sometimes know they had it. Until you really know how many have had it, the...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    We are all speculating on how severe this really is. Until we have an actual idea how many have had it compared to a factual number of who actually died from it, we are only guessing. I do not trust the government or media with regards to this virus. I think once we get everyone tested for...

    Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.

    I'm moving in June. Bought a beautiful home up against a mountain with 3.5 acres. I'm bringing all my cameras with me. I'm considering putting my Sd59225u-hni on this corner but would prefer to mount it via a ceiling mount "if" I have something solid under the soffit. All the ceiling mounts I've...

    Moving and upgrading my camera system.

    When my c: drive died in accidentally bought the drive listed below. It has run fine as it is only used for the operating system and the actual BI program. I don't run anti-virus on my BI machine and do not use it for browsing the internet or anything other than accessing my cams via their ip...

    Moving and upgrading my camera system.

    Just a 4 and now adding an 8tb wd purple. The processor is a little underpowered by the latest specs of what I've read on here but have not had an issue. I think it came with 8gb of memory and did upgrade to 16 awhile back. I'll have 8 cams from Andy and will likely pick up 2 more eventually. 4...

    Moving and upgrading my camera system.

    Whenever the original drive failed I had a heck of a time getting it out. Some how I ordered the wrong HD size. Heck it may be a laptop hard drive for all I know. Regardless I got the original dead one out and now have room for the second. We have soo much to do to get ready to move. It's going...

    Moving and upgrading my camera system.

    Just went down and pulled my BI pc apart. Back when my main HD died on me I replaced it with a much smaller form factor. I just took out the the old HD and now have room to run another WD purple drive. So I will have a 4tb and another likely 8tb at least to dump to.

    What would you recommend if you were to replace it? I feel an nvr is going backwards.

    Yeah man. I'm figuring I will have to just replace the drive. I hate losing storage.

    Moving and upgrading my camera system.

    I took your recommendations on here to get a used Dell for my Blue Iris server. It lacks expansion for hard drive space. Wondering what your thoughts were on expansion ideas? Are there network drives that it can be set to dump to? Would it be best to just get a 10 or 12tb and swap out the 4tb...

    Samsung Smartthings question...

    OK. Yeah I need power to both so two separate runs is what you recommend. Once I'm in the house and can figure out where the Blue Iris system will go and where everything is tretched from and to.

    The group I'm discussing this in said splitting isn't recommended. Considering two runs of ethernet cable.

    Samsung Smartthings question...

    That would be awesome. Sorry for not providing a link. I may pick up one sensor and the hub to test it before we get to the new place. Next will be hoping for easy runs through the attic to the locations I need. They will be under the eaves out of the weather but will definitely enclose them in...

    Samsung Smartthings question...

    We just signed a contract on a new home so I'll be reinstalling our cameras. They are all Dahua cams running via poe. Do you think the same line running to the cameras would power the sensor below also? Would really like to not have to change batteries. Looking at 4 sensors in locations where...

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    Never had any issues like that. It's been a solid unit. Just want ptz access back and only get it if I make the password "admin".

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    My camera has been flawless other than loss of PTZ with a recent BI update. My fw is old and needs updated. I don't even know where to begin to find it. Very little time right now.

    Lost 3 pups before getting things sorted out. Been a nightmare. Up every 4 hours to feed for 2 weeks now. Ugh!
