    Trying SSD on BI

    Putting yourself at the mercy of MY memory is very risky! I agree, if I remember. After 6 weeks, all is well.

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    The source code was sometimes labeled as Trade Secret. (I just noticed this is the pandemic thread. This is hypercreep!)

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    From my time working in the industry, my observation is that they would not allow any competition for applications. A company with a competing product would either be purchased or driven out of business by Microsoft bundling the competing app in windows, or selling it at a lowball price. I saw...

    Counter opinion: To succeed at genocide, they'd have to pull it off without it looking like genocide which IMO precludes doing it quickly. All hypothetical thinking of course.

    For me, this "smartness" is a disease that keeps getting worse and worse. Our newer smart dryer almost always stops with the clothes still damp, while the old dumb one with the mechanical timer did this pretty well. It's the cars that are the worst: The auto dimming mirror that won't dim when...

    I guess I'm disagreeing with you because I don't think any of us mere mortals know what the truth really is. As far as mass propaganda goes, yes if what you're seeing is really mass propaganda, it would be massive and thorough to the point of impossible to comprehend. But I also find the pager...

    Here in Oregon there's a special session going on to raise gas and other auto-related taxes and fees. The dems are using their usual screw-the-little-guy fear tactics, saying give us the money or we won't fix any potholes or plow the snow. Some of the current tax money goes to government pet...

    EU follies

    I hope you realize that you see the same warping of reality in what you read about the USA. I hate to sound like I'm fighting against the person who adds so much valuable technical content to the forum, so I'm trying to look at what I'm saying as spirited debate without anything whatsoever...

    2025 New Arrivals From EmpireTech

    Agreed, but I'd still rather buy black. Others may do better, but my spray jobs don't come close to the durability of the factory black. And it is a bit of work to mask off the round face in a turret and get the cable painted.

    Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

    Good advice and I promise this will be my last post here. Maybe you're still running a corrupted V3 in the NVR. If you have the firmware file for it you could try reloading that one. I tried to upload my early V4 firmware to the Resources section, but as with photos, it's broken.

    Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

    With too-new firmware on V1 hardware you've become a test pilot. Perhaps as bigred says it's not bricked in the sense of totally dead, but rather some things don't work right and maybe others do. I'm running V4.001.0000000.3, Build Date: 2020-05-19 on the V1 hardware. Perhaps that version is...

    Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

    Hopefully somebody can get you back to a running V3. Wish it was me, but it's not. If you're able to get back up you can go at least to a mid-life v4 version like I'm running. I think a 2016 machine is surely V1 hardware, but that's only a semi-educated guess.

    Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

    I don't remember details as it was years ago. There was one point where you couldn't directly upgrade from an older version to a new one without going through an intermediate version first. I think this came into play if the current firmware was one of the V3 versions. Just throwing this out...

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    Without counting the models with heated front glass, there are 33 different models of these new cameras. Here I'm breaking down the minimum illumination and LED lighting specs. Keying off the model numbers, there are logically 3 camera series: PRO - 4, 6, 8 megapixel models, all with 4 LEDs...

    I can describe it. When you're old you can shiver at 72 with the heat on, and have hypothermia at 72 with the AC on.

    Yes. The sad thing is that the liberals with apparently too much money are leaving the big cities they helped turn into hellholes, going to the smaller places, running up the prices, and continuing their mission to create hellholes. My county was solid red until a few years ago, now heavy blue.

    IPC-Color4M-T Video Detection automatically reenables itself

    BI likes to turn dumb motion detection on, for reasons I can't imagine. Possibly Surveillance Station does that too? My way around it is to go into each camera GUI, set the motion detection sensitivity to zero, the threshold to max, and the time schedule to never.

    I want to challenge this as possibly untrue and/or misleading. Possibly because I don't squat about the big picture. I do know that my local area is an exception. The first red flag I see is that the headline suggests the plunge is overall nation-wide, yet the data used is from "America's 20...
