    Comparing the IL to the S3

    Frame-by-frame shots of a cat running full blast through the S3 and IL FOV, plus bonus from the T54PRO that picks it up right after. At 10 FPS, the whole sequence lasts less than a second. The cat was 100% undetected by all 3 cameras. They cannot pick up fast moving animals. I knew about it...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    I think bigred posted this in the wrong thread, so I'm going to respond here. "Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind." George Orwell Quote I am so sick of the baloney polarized reporting about...

    Money & Economics

    Sorry to rant, this is another careless post than can have its data interpreted multiple ways. The text says "US citizen job holders" and "Foreign born job holders", an apples-to-oranges comparison, while the chart says "Native born" vs. "Foreign born", making for 3 different categories. Even...

    "How I Built the World's Only PoE Powered Driveway Gate to Stop People Turning Around" : Silver Cymbal Workshop

    I'm not trying to put down what looks like a very nicely done project. I just think there are a lot of misleading electrical statements. The obvious one is that the gate is powered by a network switch. As pointed out by TonyR, it's powered by a battery which is charged by the output of a POE...

    IVS on 5442

    I've learned to kill motion detection on the camera by clearing the detection zones, setting sensitivity to zero, threshold to max, and schedule to never. Then BI can make itself happy enabling it, all it wants to.

    T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ

    Here's a rock (obscured by the camera name text) and a clump of grass the S3 likes to trip on. I think I'll go out and move the rock and beat down the clump of grass to see if that helps.

    T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ

    I use IVS tripwires. I have to be careful with MD because BI has a habit of turning it on, so in all the cameras I clear the detect area, set sensitivity to zero, threshold to the max, and schedule to nothing. When I want to analyze a detection I go to smartPSS and can see the blue tripwire...

    Comparing the IL to the S3

    PRO with 2025-08-07 firmware ----------------------------------------------IL with 2025-11-11 firmware No AI-ISP switch on either one. Regarding the AI-ISP switch, if it does indeed do nothing, there's precedent. In the 5442/541 series, the object filter on/off switch never did anything.

    T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ

    A couple of days ago when the wind was blowing the grass around I had 70 false detects on the S3 in a 2-hour period. When the wind is still, there's only an occasional false detect when it thinks a rock is an animal or a fence post is a person.

    Comparing the IL to the S3

    Got it from Andy. Special order took about a month. I've been looking at the IL, PRO and S3 today. I thought I saw an on-off switch for AI-ISP on either the IL or PRO but can't find it now. On the S3 there's a switch for AI-SSA and I might have confused that. Where would I look for an...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    OK, if that's a legit video it looks like there was contact between the car and the agent. The car was certainly not trying to "run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them" as ICE leadership is said to have claimed. Then there's the issue of the front wheels turned to the...

    Comparing the IL to the S3

    Image: Defaults, except for night on the S3 with brightness=60 and gamma=71, for a better overall match to the IL's night image. Exposure: Daytime auto, night 0-4ms, except the IL likes to keep changing it by itself to auto, so I really don't know what it was for the previous pictures. FPS: 10...

    One officer was in her window yelling at her. The one who shot was in front of the car, and if he even got hit at all, I don't see that he went down or even got pushed away. He was obviously more intent on shooting than avoiding the vehicle. One yells at her to go, the other one shoots her...

    Forum technical problems getting bad?

    It looks like the content of a picture file has something to do with the forum accepting it. I just made a post with 10 pictures, and it consistently refused one of them, "Oops, we ran into problems". I fiddled with small edits to the picture with no success. I finally took a screen shot of...

    Comparing the IL to the S3

    I didn't catch the exact frame on this one. Shots within one second of each other. Cat in motion, S3 did better.

    Comparing the IL to the S3

    This post compares a 6mm S3 against a 6mm IL. It is not a review. Most of you focus on image quality, while my priorities are reliable animal detection and reduced false triggers. Within reason, image quality is priority #3. The subject cameras, in 5442-S2 mounts because I don't like the S3...

    Another chapter in liberal-hellhole Oregon politics. This bill raises the state gas tax and very significantly raises vehicle related fees. She called a special session of the legislature just a couple of months ago to get it passed. Then she delayed signing it to shorten the signature...

    I present this article as an example of the crap information and conclusions that we're fed by the media. An example of why I don't believe any of it. Reading into the article, the answer is OREGON! WTF!!! If anything, the actual situation is people wanting to get out of this high tax, nanny...

    I have a non-answer. A few years ago one of our pro-crypto kids talked me into buying some (not bitcoin). I ended up creating an account at one of the online dealers/brokers/or whatever they are called. Because of the KYC (know your customer) laws, I had to give them all sorts of personal...

    Is anybody interested in measly thousand dollar tax things? Most of the posts here are about billions and trillions. A new tax provision starting with 2026 returns for charitable contributions has the potential for even extra savings for social security recipients. It's the $1,000 ($2,000 for...

    Issue with Monoprice cable and RJ45 plugs

    The web page for those connectors leaves me scratching my head a bit with these statements: Solid/Stranded Cable Sheilded RJ45 connectors for Cat6 Stranded cables. For Stranded wire cables. And on the product photo it says "Cat6 Shielded Stranded" Is your wire by any chance stranded? If so...

    Issue with Monoprice cable and RJ45 plugs

    I don't see that you're doing anything wrong. I've used these connectors with at least 10 different rolls of monoprice cat6 and never run into the problem you're having, BUT, I see you have shielded cat6 cable. I'm wondering if the shielded cable might have fatter insulation on the conductors...

    I don't believe any of these videos from either side. There have been too many times where we've found out later that the videos are fully staged, or taken from an angle that distorts the reality, or from an entirely different protest. Plus now we have AI to make even phonier videos. Most of...

    Issue with Monoprice cable and RJ45 plugs

    Are the holes staggered on the inserts? If they're straight line you might have mistakenly got the cat5e inserts. Oh, and don't be like me sometimes trying to insert the wires into the wrong end of the insert.
