    Catalytic converter theft in 20 seconds

    True but with them in/out within 30 seconds, they're pretty sure the police are more than 30seconds away. I agree with you that there's not much one can do other than park in a secured area.

    My NON camera capture for FedEx

    Oddly enough, something from Amazon doesn't always deliver from Amazon and even then, not always a picture is taken. (I like it when they do. I believe it helps.)

    My NON camera capture for FedEx

    read my story in this thread - I really hate eBay in summary, there's a scam method where someone can provide a UPS tracking number that shows ON THE UPS TRACKING SITE that it delivered when it never did. Just heads up.... But yeah it seems like with today's technology, they should know to the...

    More Car Troubles on the Corner

    Do you have your setup outlined somewhere? Interesting on the auto tracking.

    Low cost IP-Cam with access over Internet

    I find it funny when someone asks for a "low cost cam". When is the last time you've ever seen someone ask for a "HIGH cost cam"? Someone just come on and say something like "I prefer to pay as much as possible for a solution!"

    Camera Capture? no....a camera miss. advice?

    Well I know we didn't leave the door open as I have the picture from a trigger after we went to bed. (one of the attachments) As for the ghosts, haha...I don't really care if a ghost opened it or not. Mostly I was asking about how to get BI tweaked to catch any movement regardless of the cause...

    Camera Capture? no....a camera miss. advice?

    This one was kind of confusing. I have a IP3M-941-S in my front room and pointed at the front door and the door to the garage. Last night when we went to bed (about 11pm?), the door to the garage was closed but when we awoke this morning, it was open. I have the camera only set to record upon...

    OS may have rebooted, and lost a day of coverage....

    What to do? I'd start with the search feature in the forum. People don't mind answering questions but you should really try to look and see if this has ever been asked before. There's lots of threads. (an example to start How to get Blue Iris to automatically start when restarting PC w/Windows...

    Synology NAS NVR vs. a Standalone NVR

    Keep in mind that's why I said "imho". It's just my opinion. It might not be the same as someone else's. Of course it all depends on what your expectations are vs want to spend on a NAS I suppose. IMHO (...there it is again), another computer can be bought cheaper to handle the extra load...

    Synology NAS NVR vs. a Standalone NVR

    I initially wanted to use my NAS as I do like the Synology Surveillance software but the cost I found to just be too much. Now you can still use it for 2 cameras for free so you don't have to totally abandon it. To me, the nas makes a great filing cabinet. Somewhere to store the files. As for...

    Soo much to read

    I wish I would have seen this type of response before I ordered my first cameras. I would have saved a ton and had the right cameras in the right spots (I still don't) from the start.

    Suggest wireless cube cam for senior monitor.

    For the camera I mentioned previously, I couldn't get the 2way audio (or even 1 way for that matter) to work. I didn't need it so I didn't try real hard though. I tried it. It didn't work for me. I moved on. I could very well have not had it properly configured though.

    Soo much to read

    I agree with the reading overload. Something that might help would be to watch some of the youtube vids. They don't go as in depth as the wiki and documentation but it helps give you a base to start with. I have these channels bookmarked as ones that have some good vids. Fwiw, one of the...

    Beehive Webcam

    I'll let you decide the HW but things like this are cool (I believe). I really like it when people put them on youtube as live streams. Often in my office, I'll turn on the tv and stream something like this, or a street in Tokyo for example (btw, I don't live in Tokyo). I think its just neat to see.

    Pant's not sagging!

    This is going from memory in the mid 2000's. 2005 maybe? It's been a while but the idea of the numbers is correct at least. In short, things like this COST the taxpayer in the end and does it do anything? Years ago, Myrtle Beach SC decided to implement a $100 fine for this. It cost the state so...

    I really hate eBay

    Your'e thinking like I did. Surely I didn't get scammed. So frustrating! I contacted UPS and after hours on the phone with them, they finally came back and said the tracking number that the seller gave as my tracking number, the same number that if you put into their tracking system shows as...

    Pant's not sagging!

    Some people also blame the increase of "processed flour" and increased sugars (like high fructose corn syrup) in foods. Tony you mention your activity and I agree with what you're saying but I'm pointing out that the cheeseburger, soda and ice cream you ate then is very different than what is...

    Help me solve the mystery of the magic black box!

    There is (typically) a serial number and model number somewhere on that box. I'm guessing you don't have enough slack in the cables to pull it out an look? It looks like its super close to the ceiling so its difficult to look on the bottom

    I really hate eBay

    Just a warning for shopping on ebay but especially when using paypal. I had an instance where I bought something on an online site (looked valid, not scummy or anything) and paid w/ Paypal thinking I was protected. Unfortunately, later I learned that there's a scam where a company can sell you...

    Computer help please

    I can't agree with you more about longing for the days of simple processor naming schemes! TONS of used systems out there. Many, many off lease systems. I just saw Cajoling technologies mention a reseller in his vid. Maybe check them out. New BI videos found on youtube I have no idea if that...

    New BI videos found on youtube

    I know that it's sometimes helpful to see people do youtube videos (good or bad) so I thought I'd share what I just found. It looks like "Cajoling Technologies" just recently did some new BI vids. Maybe these can help people that need it.

    How would I setup VPN if main router doesn't support it ?

    btw I'll add that I tried Asus mesh last year and had horrible results. If you want to see the latest state of it, go to snbforums.com. Look in the Wireless Networking>Asus Wireless subforum.

    How would I setup VPN if main router doesn't support it ?

    I started to type exactly this and then saw this response. So in short I'd just say "ditto". If it were me, I'd invest a little money in a more current Asus router w/ the ability. To me, the time saved would justify the time. (but that's just my opinion for my own situation. It can & should...

    Idea about mass storage - Using a NAS?

    Idea about mass storage - Using a NAS?

    Interesting on the HW Acceleration. So should I go to each camera Camera_Settings>Video tab and set it as Intel or Intel+VPP for each one? Yeah mines only around 66Mbps down. You mention 300 I see. What is that referring to? So those numbers are with substream. Maybe I don't have a good...

    Idea about mass storage - Using a NAS?

    very good point. Here's my cams and bitrates. I have the 2 gigabit ports bonded on the NAS as well and I think it's holding up ok. I actually only have 1 nic on the BI desktop. I could I guess get another but it's not needed. If I happen across a free one then I guess... I have noticed that if...
