    Amazon Driver Throws My Package

    It's called being lazy. They are NOT supposed to drive into the driveway, too much liability. This guy did not want to walk up and then back down the long driveway

    Just a reminder PSA

    And just another tidbit to add. There are many NATURAL sources of CO2 gas being released on a daily basis that make human generated CO2 look like a drop in the ocean. Antartica is one such area that produces a lot of CO2 emissions. These "Climate experts" can go fuck themselves. Look below the...

    Olden day Pictures

    Good question. Imagine how long it would take capture an image - "Hold on, don't move, I'll tell you when" or to "re-draw" the image from cassette tape.

    New vehicles are crap and private equity groups are the reason

    It's not just about the EPA ratings as my 2024 with the 4-cylinder turbo gets worse mileage than my previous 2022 with a V6. It's mostly about the money - period

    New vehicles are crap and private equity groups are the reason

    Wish I would have kept my 2022 Tacoma and my 2007 Tacomas. I'm a big fan of 2005 - 2015 second gen Tacomas. Great 4.0-liter V6 with 5 speed trans which were bullet proof

    New vehicles are crap and private equity groups are the reason

    Unfortunately, it doesn't mean much lately. They redesigned the 4runner (now 5th gen) and it's still made in Japan, but it shares the same issues as the new 4th gen Tacoma with the same drivetrain, frame and body components. It's pure crap. I would never buy another new Tacoma. If anything, I...

    New vehicles are crap and private equity groups are the reason

    Good luck on your new shipment. But you'll probably get cheap Chinese knock-offs :facepalm:

    New vehicles are crap and private equity groups are the reason

    And you can't even return to buying used reliable vehicles, because the supply of well-made parts for them is a thing of the past. If you can find original OEM parts you'll pay through the nose and if you opt for parts most can afford, you get cheap Chinese copies, which don't last

    New vehicles are crap and private equity groups are the reason

    Unfortunately, us common folk are the ones to suffer and will, as usual, bear the brunt of their robber baron actions. Politicians and others are just mere pawns in the game of Chess-Winner-take-all-attitude

    New vehicles are crap and private equity groups are the reason

    I've always been a loyal Toyota buyer, and we have purchased 15 new vehicles since 2007 (one of my vises). They've always been reliable and well made. But since 2020, they have not been made the same. There are a lot of little things that aren't the usual Toyota quality, and my new 2024 Tacoma...

    Review-EmpireTech IPC-B52IR-X3 1/2.8" CMOS 3 × 2 MP bullet cam

    Suck it up :rofl:, I had to swap 2 junction boxes recently because one was square and the other round. Yeah, it wasn't fun, but had to be done. I believe this one is the PFA121 as it also uses the four mounting holes

    Review-EmpireTech IPC-B52IR-X3 1/2.8" CMOS 3 × 2 MP bullet cam

    The more I info I get on this camera, the more I like it. It would be perfect for one area overlooking an intersection. And it helps that it's an IR blaster machine! Gonna have to save up some sheckles

    IR filter issue?

    Yeah, I'm not going to worry about it. It happens infrequently enough to not care, and I can still read the plate, so I'm good.

    IR filter issue?

    IR filter is definitely kicking off briefly during the exposure increase when it happens. My machine vision cameras have the same pink color when running in color mode and the IR filter is switched out.

    IR filter issue?

    It seems that when it does it randomly, when it tries to brighten the image to compensate, it seems the IR cut filter switches out during the increase in exposure.

    IR filter issue?

    Weird thing is, it's only the LPR West that does this. LPR East, does not and has never had this behavior. Both are the same B52IR-Z12E S3 cameras running the same FW and settings. No other cameras have the issue either.

    IR filter issue?

    OK, was able to catch this in action today. It is very sporadic; the last time it happened was when I first posted on this. Any ideas? Absolutely nothing in the log regarding this incident.

    Dahua NVR5216 hard reset?

    Ok, fixed the time issue, had the wrong gateway. Unfortunately, I can't access the webpage because it wants to download the plug-in on Palemoon or the chrome plugin on IE and Chrome. When I try to install the web plugin on Palemoon, my ESET anti-virus has a fit and won't let it install it. I was...

    Dahua NVR5216 hard reset?

    I know. The current setup is very temporary. In fact, it sits on top of my laptop when in operation. Have to spend a few minutes moving the setup from on top of my laptop

    Dahua NVR5216 hard reset?

    And I can't seem to manually update the time. It shows update failed every time. I know there's a connection via ethernet as it shows it is working. Maybe the wrong port for the update?

    Dahua NVR5216 hard reset?

    Ok, here's the NVR camera settings for 4K-X. The most the NVR supports is 8192 Also notice that I cannot check the audio/video selection under the main stream. I wonder if that is due to not having a hard drive installed?

    Do you think there would be any performance issues with bitrate for cameras with the model?
