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

    This time it crapped out at the official worst time. Died Saturday afternoon and it's 90+ degrees and sunny outside. I called the installer to take a look but they are all booked up today. I think it's the blower motor (again) so I'm going to risk $300 and change it out myself since the 10 year...

    Dahua T54IR-ZE-S3 - wow, what a contrast difference

    I'm amazed at the contrast difference between two different T5442T-ZE with the same exact settings. Both cams are in the backyard (the east side of house) and it's very cloudy today with no direct sun this time of day but you can see the difference. The first pic the cam is on the north side...

    BI changed my LAN address - how'd that happen?

    A few days ago I notice my Pushover links created in a curl command were not working as expected and I determined that the LAN variable had changed. Sure enough the LAN address changed from 192.168.1.200 (BI computer IP address) to 192.168.0.200 (Camera network IP address). Odd since it's been...

    Does this mean the HD for BI storage is kaput?

    Doesn't appear to have anything stored on it. I see the DS alert videos but when you try to play them on BI it says "cannot be found". Also, REPAIR DB is moving at a crawl...after 10 mins only 3%. Finally, I don't see a drive E anymore.

    SD49425XB-HNR 2MP PTZ - how to tell it to go to home position if nothing detected

    I've got some spotter cams that direct this PTZ to move to a preset location when they detect human/animal/vehicle. What is the best way to command this PTZ to go to it's home position if it doesn't detect anything in the areas the spotter cams commanded it to? Is there a built in command within...

    YouTubeTV and streaming prices

    They've completely lost sight of what they started out to be. Now just as bad as any cable TV service. Adding in all these channels that no one wants or watches then jacking up prices. What I paid when I started off with YTTV in 2018: Then a little more than a year later: The about a year...

    Coyote has been hanging out in the backyard lately

    Cameras are Dahua T54IR-ZE-S3. Sunrise was about 15 mins earlier and in the backyard it's still quite dark as the sun has not come up through the trees. The cams are pointing east toward sun rise. Any suggestions on how to tweak this particular cam to improve video quality or is that pretty much...

    FedEx Delivery Fail

    He was 50 feet from completing his mission. I blame Walmart for their crappy packing not the FedEx driver. Girlfriend called Walmart to complain and Walmart gave her a full refund and told her to keep the product. No harm, no foul I guess.

    T54IR-ZE-S3 - Where are we keeping the firmware downloads these days

    I guess I didn't do a good job searching. After 10 minutes of searching I can't find where the repository is for the firmware @EMPIRETECANDY

    Don't stand under a tree during a hurricane!

    Well duh! Amazed at the number of people who are killed by trees in a hurricane. I think most of them usually die because a tree falls through the house. Nothing really interesting about the following clip. Just showing the top of a 60 foot Florida Maple that snapped off during the storm. At the...

    Hurricane Helene - Be safe y'all

    You just know some lives are going to be turned upside down and/or destroyed by this event. Not just in Florida but in parts farther north in other States. I'm just glad it's not headed to my part of Florida but there are still threats of flooding and tornados. I'm guessing maybe 45-50 MPH wind...

    Coyote missing a foot

    I thought I had a kangaroo but no. Not a big fan of coyotes except when they are taking out stray cats in the 'hood. Feel sorry for this one who appears to be missing its front right paw.

    Tree Cam Installation

    I recycled an older 2MP HDW5231R-ZE that was in the backyard which was replaced with a T54IR-ZE-S3 recently by mounting it on a tree in the front yard. All my other cams point outward away from the house but I always wanted to have a cam looking at the house so I could see if there was a tree...

    Very lucky

    My neighbor across the street was doing lawn renovation. He's lucky he's walking without a limp. Just a little background info.... About 1 minute earlier one of my neighbors about 5 houses down just got finished reading the riot act to the driver of this white Audi. He's a police officer who...

    Why do about half the cars have their headlights on today?

    Was in Atlanta the last week or so. When I got back to the Orlando area I noticed about 50% of the cars are driving with their headlights on. Pretty bright at 5PM and sunset still had 2-1/2 hours or more to go. Cars driving behind me. Cars driving toward me. Cars on side streets going both...

    Squatter Squad!

    Interesting that the squatters appear to have IP cams mounted on the house I assume to warn them of "invaders"....LMAO. Squatters are low life scum who should be arrested and fined.

    Wind zone 4 garage door

    For those of you who don't live in Florida or the coastal areas of the Gulf of Mexico thought I'd show you what the bracing looks like for Wind Zone 4. I just replaced my 32 year old door that had no bracing at all (building code has changed since then). Everytime there was a threat of a...

    Live view on BI5 GUI I don't hear audio but in UI3 I do

    Is there a setting in BI5 that prevent audio during live viewing? I noticed in UI3 during live viewing of video the audio can be heard but not with the BI5 GUI. I've got the green audio enable turned all the way up on both UI3 and BI5. When I play back stored video/audio in the BI5 GUI I can...
