    What's your opinion on cameras *inside* the home?

    I have cameras inside and keep them all on a VLAN so none of them can reach the outside world. They have no internet access and no access to browse the network.

    What PTZ to buy for a 22 acre property?

    That is why i was looking at the x-spans or TandemVu cams as they have a fixed wide cam that works with the PTZ to zoom in on whatever. I don't think they work with BI though. There is not much info on the forms about them. Hikvision has so many different versions.

    Remote install powered by batteries/solar?

    Is it at all possible to install a remote IP cam that can stream 24/7 to BI using a battery that gets charged by solar? I have two ubiquiti nanobeams not in use. Not sure how or if it would even be possible, nanobeam uses 8.5 watts.

    New vehicles are crap and private equity groups are the reason

    Yeah it's made cheap now with loads of plastics and the prices are ridiculous. When i bought my V8 Tundra the dealer tried his best to sell the new V6 Tundra telling me how it had more power than the V8 and better MPG. That was before all the recalls. I don't like how the new trucks look they...

    New vehicles are crap and private equity groups are the reason

    I am a Toyota fan to have been since the 80s. The new Toyota's are a joke and will not last as long as the previous models mainly the trucks so far as they all now have turbo garbage in them. It is well know that a turbo adds stress to the engine not to mention the average life span of a turbo...

    Is there any point to using AI with BI?

    IP cameras are a hobby for me, how would the AI do at night? I don't record at night since we get a lot of bugs etc so at night i get a ton of false alerts.

    Is there any point to using AI with BI?

    Trying to decide if it's worth trying, i really don't get any false notifications. I live on a farm so there is nothing really going on. I get groundhogs, cows, birds, squirrels, deer, bears and a few delivery drivers. :) What is the advantage of using it?

    DH-PFA121 water proof?

    In the specs of the junction box it says Pipe Thread G3/4” whatever size that really is. :) The issue is even when you have the right one the hole is still to large as only one CAT5E cable is using it ......you need a size reducer. I also make my own cables so i would pull it through before...
