    Electrical Inspection Wall Of Shame

    I'd bet with you, although it's less than 100%. Over the years I've seen this sort of thing with RVs that tingle. All of the experts jump in with their 100% diagnosis when what's really wrong is that the RV chassis, for some reason, isn't connected to the safety ground. This is one case where...

    Electrical Inspection Wall Of Shame

    Whoever wrote that gutter story did a pretty good job of detective work and brainstorming. His thinking of flipping breakers to find the circuit involved sounds good to me, then the thought of investigating every nail is mind blowing. I guess I'd try to locate the offending circuit's wire run...

    The official "WTF" thread

    Maybe a new thread "Oregon follies"? After pushback, they have graciously agreed to not enforce this on inner tubes, even though the legislation includes 2 inner tubes tied together in the definition of "watercraft".

    I view this as sliding yet another layer under the house of cards stock market pyramid. It funnels federal money into the stock market that can't be touched for 18 years. Parents and relatives are encouraged to add their own money to it, also required to go into the stock market and can't be...

    Portland, Oregon. Taxpayer subsidized public transit agency. Isn't it the lefties who insist that nobody be offended by anything?

    IVS works with ONVIF/BI, but won't record to local SD Card

    I've had a couple of cases where a camera didn't work with the SD card, then worked with another card. Then the "bad" card worked just fine in another camera.

    I didn't know about the catchnets. On orygon, the escape ramps provide a shallow turn to an upslope ramp containing loose rocks that the vehicle wheels sink into.

    EU follies

    On this I will agree with you. I look at all the statements and am very aware of it, but agree that most aren't. On this you are probably being brainwashed by liberal press false reporting. There is absolutely nothing in the works to limit medicare availability. What's being affected is a...

    EU follies

    For those who are on drugs ;) add also the $2k maximum part D out of pocket cost, or another $167/mo. That makes my exact monthly medical cost $185 part B + 244 supplement + 167 part D maximum = $596/month, $7,152 annually. Additionally, I use a totally optional "Direct Primary Care" practice...

    Dahua NVR resetting schedule settings for thermal camera

    Newer firmware doesn't fix the camera shutting off the NVR schedule, so I guess I have indeed stumbled onto a quirk. Maybe its other users are on BI where it's not an issue? I shut off the weekly auto reboot which should eliminate the problem for me, and since I do almost all the viewing on BI...

    Dahua NVR resetting schedule settings for thermal camera

    The 24x7 recording works ok, just no events. I downloaded the new firmware from Andy. Now I have to get past the fear of bricking the camera.

    Dahua NVR resetting schedule settings for thermal camera

    Got it. Mine is the TPC124X-AI-S2. With the BI machine off, I reset and confirmed the schedule settings in the NVR, rebooted the camera, and kept pinging the NVR schedule. At the end of the camera boot cycle, the NVR schedule changed. There's a newer firmware on Andy's web site that I guess...

    Dahua NVR resetting schedule settings for thermal camera

    Have more info. The recording schedule for the thermal camera on the NVR gets clobbered whenever the thermal camera boots. That's why it got reset once a week, because the camera auto reboots once a week. I shut down the BI system for testing and it's not a factor. Whenever the thermal...

    Just got 2 cams from Andy.. cant find playback menu in IE

    I often log into cameras with Brave, and in general it works pretty well. I'm not able to say if every single thing works, and I always have IE available if need be. With the 541R and Brave, the plugin is needed.

    Dahua NVR resetting schedule settings for thermal camera

    The thermal channels are 5 and 6, and they get changed together. I was just using 4 as an illustration and after I took the snapshots copied 4 into 5 and 6. It will likely hold for at least a few days. The camera is one that Andy still sells and has IVS on both channels. Can the camera...

    Andy's NVR vs Blue Iris?

    This names are set in the camera, and that's where BI gets the names from. My desktop system does no show the camera names, smartPSS Lite on the laptop does. I'll conclude from this that the smartPSS I'm running is old enough that it doesn't show the names. Maybe I should switch to Lite? Is...

    Andy's NVR vs Blue Iris?

    Are you on win11? From what I've read that's the only one where snipping tool does video, and it has great reviews. I'm on 7, so can't use the snipping tool.

    Dahua NVR resetting schedule settings for thermal camera

    Anybody have a clue for what's causing this? About once a week, very approximately, the 5216-4ks2 NVR changes the record schedule for the 2 thermal camera channels from the first picture to the second picture. Happens only with the thermal camera.

    Andy's NVR vs Blue Iris?

    You sure get those videos up faster than I do. I'm still in the learning curve, having switched to OBS studio to make the latest one. Why does your smartPSS display the preset names, and mine only the numbers? A setting in the NVR? I can't find a smartPSS setting for it.

    Andy's NVR vs Blue Iris?

    Another example were I've found UI3 a lot easier to use than smartPSS, centered mostly on PTZ repositioning. I have a road running down a hill from my driveway, across a bridge, then back up the hill to a stop sign. I can track a car the full length, first with a standard camera looking down...

    The official "WTF" thread

    These stories are fun. Long ago, for those who remember that far back, I was doing field support for Datapoint and a big customer with a Diablo drive had a problem that their system didn't work. (Diablo cartridge drives were very high end at that time). It sounded like a disc problem. Going...

    The official "WTF" thread

    One organization I worked for required everybody in every job description to work the customer support telephone line occasionally. As an engineer in the early days of PCs, it was emotional hell. For fixing "my computer doesn't work", it got down to: Is it plugged in? Did you turn it on? Is...

    I see they are still lying by "answering" a specific question with loosely related other things. In this case, the "myth" is a hard fact.

    Everything we're being fed about everything is a bunch of $hit, starting with lies from the government, then spun in some political direction depending on which outlet is doing the reporting. Just this morning, the liberal outlets are reporting that the June CPI numbers are bad and work against...
