    IPC-Color4K-X S2 Slow Auto Restart

    All of my cameras take more than a minute to reboot.

    Issue with Monoprice cable and RJ45 plugs

    I seriously doubt the insert type RJ45s could be used without the inserts. The inserts hold the wires in place under the pins, so when the pins are pushed down by the crimper they hit the wires correctly. There is no other structure in the RJ45 to hold the wires in place. Without the insert...

    "How to Run Ridiculously Long Ethernet Cables in Packed Conduits" : Silver Cymbal Workshop

    I used a conduit body every 100 or so feet, and minimum 1-1/4 inch conduit. Fortunately before its price had gone to the moon.

    Comparing the IL to the S3

    I tried a while with the large scale models off. I'm suspecting that the switch is a placebo, just like the Object Filter switch is in the 5442s and some other models.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    That would be nice if it worked. The congresscritters vote based on lobbyists and campaign contributions. I see more of what happens in Oregon than in DC. In Oregon they consistently vote against the will of the majority, then that same majority keeps electing them. They've got nothing to...

    Comparing the IL to the S3

    I'm getting more down on the new improved AI detection. I erased all of the IVS setup and started over after a reboot to see if that would help. Occasionally the IL will detect better than the S3, but the odds are definitely in the S3's favor. I caught some obvious IL failures: This one it...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    There are multiple places to place blame in this situation, that didn't have to happen. I see it as analogous to a plane crash where there's rarely a single cause, but several contributing factors that all happen to come together at the same time. Maybe if the traitor politicians didn't throw...

    Replacing a failing Dahua bullet cam with something stable

    Most of the cameras are stable, in terms of long term reliability. There have been a couple of specific models with a poor reliability record, but most of them keep going "forever" with only occasional random failures. I'm still using a cheap Chinese market camera that's about 8 years old, and...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    I agree this is good. We complain about the dumb and/or crooked politicians, yet we keep electing them. This 2-team good vs. bad mentality is so ingrained in so many people that I don't think it will ever be fixed short of a big crisis, and then it's only temporary. Just look at 9/11, we had...

    RIP Scott Adams of Dilbert fame ..

    I'm bummed about Scott's passing. A little bit because I met him at a tech conference a few decades ago, but more so because I felt like he was the fly on the wall at work. I was convinced he was getting all of his cartoon tips from my workplace, even though I know there were people at another...

    The official "WTF" thread

    Me too. So easy to replace the M with a B, then a T, and the significance just doesn't sink in.

    I'm not knee-jerk defending Trump, but you have a couple of serious incorrect statements there. The big hate was sown by Obama, who divided up groups in many different ways and encouraged each group to hate the others. The hate toward nonwhites you claim isn't that at all. It's pushback...

    IPCampower Switch Issue Question

    I think the SF series can set up VLANs with the GUI, but it's more like a command line situation than graphical. Not intuitive to a newbie and I've not yet damaged brain cells trying to figure it out.

    IPCampower Switch Issue Question

    Don't take the 200/300 model split as poe vs. poe+. My paperweight non-POE+ switch is an SF300-24P. Its POE+ replacement is SF-350-24P. Older models don't have POE+. Best thing is to look at the specs before buying.

    Since I base my opinion on watching multiple videos, I'm not going to be swayed by what somebody tells me to think instead of what I see. Did the woman screw up? Of course, multiple times. Making it worse, she was being urged by the "wife" to doing wrong things. I know how that works, having...

    IPCampower Switch Issue Question

    The SG200-26P is a managed switch, but you can ignore that. The bigger question IMO is do you need poe+? This one supports only standard 803.af standard POE. I've got a similar model sitting unused because I bought a camera that needs poe+.

    Comparing the IL to the S3

    Big oops. I went back and fixed it. The IL is the one with lousy detection.

    More rechargeable battery fires.....

    I'm so suspicious of these things that when I leave the house for more than a day I put the laptop into a bathtub where it should be able to burn away without setting the house on fire. I've come to believe that most of the fires are with aftermarket, as opposed to OEM, batteries. Just to see...

    Comparing the IL to the S3

    The IL has so far turned out to be horrible at object detection, to the point of being close to useless if I don't figure out how to fix it. My PRO does not have this non-detection problem, interesting because they use the same firmware. The IL does have a newer firmware version than the...

    Same thing the governments do with tax money, the unions do with forced contributions, and the banks/brokerages do with investment money. The woman provided a service, and took a commission for doing it.

    Comparing the IL to the S3

    By now I have a pretty good feel for image quality between the S3 and IL, so probably my last mass-posting of side-by-side images. Conclusions are: In situations with even daytime lighting, it's an overall tie. In situations with large difference bright and dim areas, IL wins. At night with...

    AI detecting people vs dogs/foxes

    As a mostly non-helpful response, I was in a similar position somewhat over a year ago and gave up on CPAI. The most I got out of it was entertainment, with animals labeled as people, rocks as animals, a few things as fireplugs or parking meters, and so forth. With both the CPAI and Dahua...

    Money & Economics

    I interpret it differently. The high interest rates cover the defaults from the deadbeats that the banks shouldn't have given a credit card to in the first place. So why do they give out cards they shouldn't? To skim profits from the money movement, of course. And who's providing the money...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    This makes for a good illustration of how I see the big picture from one viewpoint. Trump is acting like the democrats have been acting. He doesn't have the same goals, so the dems hate him, even though he's adopted their tactics. The conservatives don't like the dishonest and strong arm...

    I think this could be reworded as: Trump threatens to shut down welfare system run by banks that also generates big profits for them.

    I'm not questioning the actual data, which is probably phony anyway, but I'm questioning what is being compared. Why are foreign born people who are here legally being lumped in with illegals? I agree with the point the charts are trying to make, but when they fudge the raw data to make it...

    What the heck does TDS have to do with this? Other than Trump making an stupid incorrect comment about the situation, he's has no involvement in it. It was over and done before he knew about it. Why was the officer tying up one of his hands with his cell phone if he thought there was any...

    Comparing the IL to the S3

    No, but sometimes it feels like it. Deer, coyotes, cats, bobcats, dogs, snakes, possums, skunks, foxes, squirrels, badgers, rats, porcupines, just off the top of my head. A few years ago there was an escaped cow at our back door. No bears, though, and none of the snakes are poisonous.
