    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Jerome Powell is a lawyer, not an economist. He has blown it many many times in the past. As some of the more recognized economists say, If he was a CEO of a company, he would have been fired a long time ago. The guy is an Idiot! BTW, lawyers are scum bags. To his benefit, I like higher...

    Hourly gaps in recording

    Thanks for the reminder. I had the same problem with some of my cameras a while back. I increased the Record memory allocation for the fix. Now I went back to review all the cams and increased the size for good measure.

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-AS-S3 2.8mm turret fixed lens

    You definitely need some external IR light. If you don't want to mount them outside, you can place them inside and shoot through the window. When using lots of IR light, you can use a faster shutter and diminish the motion blur from target moving. I have the compound lit up like Times Square...

    Pixel update killed alerts!

    Yea, thanks for the suggestions, I am well versed in all the settings to get the notifications. None of them work now. Does Anyone have BI alerts working on Android 16?

    Pixel update killed alerts!

    I have had BI alerts stop responding on my Pixel 8 phone also. I think it happened even before Android 16. I have an older Android phone (WiFi only) with Android 14 loaded for home use, and it still responds to alerts. I have pinged Ken a few times about the problem, without luck. He uses...

    Getting idiots to pick up their trash

    Good Job! You might try a remote horn to get peoples attention. I mounted one of these on my roof eve, powered by a 12VDC wall wart power supply in attic. Get one with 2 remotes, so they are easier/faster to get access in the house. I use it for solicitors, dogs shitting on property, and...

    Date / Time on recordings

    It is best to use the time stamp on the camera GUI, instead of BI. That will cut down on CPU demand. Sync your camera to computer time, and sync your computer to a NTP standard. https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/syncing-camera-time-with-pc-time.81185/#post-920001

    Great! I have been waiting years to dump some oil stocks. High gasoline prices also means less people on the roads driving aimlessly around in circles. It is all good.

    Blue Iris: Android Push notifications - Strange Problem, please help!

    If you just updated to Android 16 you need to do all the above recommendations, along with deleting the BI app and reinstalling, then setting all notifications and battery "allow background usage unrestricted", Manage app if unused is disabled. Good luck, the BI android app is buggy. I use...

    I bet a lot of you belong to the "HVAC crapped out at the worst time" club.

    You do Not ever want more than one Earth ground rod used on your home in a remote location. You Only use 2 ground rods when they are located close by each other at the service panel entry, and the two rods are bonded together, to achieve the correct grounding resistance.

    Tips for a successful termination with RJ-45 connector

    You are correct, The exposed ends of the wire will wick up moisture/water between the wire and insulation and migrate back to the crimped connection. This produces corrosion and increases the resistance, sometimes to failure. I have seen this on various applications over the years, not just...

    Nosey neighbor?

    Maybe put another camera on the other side of your house, pointing at his, might relax him a bit. He could be suffering from OCPD and thinks your home is off balance.

    Suspected Mail Thieves at 2 AM

    Looks like they are more than "Suspected". I got a large lockable mailbox years ago. They are great when you are out of town for a week+. Use to have to notify local PO to hold mail. Now I just let it pile up in there w/o worry. BTW, great looking video as always!

    Would a Properly Wired House for Security Cameras Increase its Value?

    I have my entire home/property wired with 19 cameras. When I sell, I am going to provide the buyer with an fair option for the entire system. Plan on demonstrating the system for them, so they know what they are getting. If they don't want it, I will pull all the cams/switches and some of...

    I have multiple Android Pixels phones and it seems that I can only get BI notifications on 1 phone at a time. After about 25 or so notifications, they stop working, and I have to cycle power on phone for them to be active again. I don't know if it is a BI or Android problem. I use Pushover...

    How many cameras do you have inside? Any? Am I going overboard?

    I would be more concerned with your smart phone/smart TV remotes (Roku, Xumo, etc) listening in on what you are saying. I always try to physically disable the mics on those handheld remotes. They scare me.

    How many cameras do you have inside? Any? Am I going overboard?

    Inside cams are a great benefit. You can see if anyone is really inside your house when gone. I keep the local Sherriff's office phone number on my phone, and if I call 911, our local system plays the 911 audio to the responding Sherriff officers and you can give them a play by play on what is...

    Turret cams and wall mounts. How do you protect from rain / elements ?

    You did not state what manufacturer of turret cams you are mounting. I always try to mount my turret cams under the roof overhang, but have 4 Dahua 5442 series turret cams mounted out in the open. They have been there for years w/o any water issues, except grime build up on lens. Last year we...

    Password is wrong and GetEvents error?

    I have had the same problem with a Dahua T5442T-ZE camera. I was going to factory default it, but removing ONVIF Authentication solved it for me too. Glad you brought this up. Looks like I may be removing ONVIF Authentication on all the cams too.
