    Older BI Key

    Thank you all for your Thoughts. I have been pretty much out of the Camera end of my business since 2020 other than some maintenance and a few add on to existing systems I still manage. All of the equipment were dahua NVR's and most of the systems were closed so I never had to pay much...

    Older BI Key

    Hi All, Hope everybody here is well. I'm doing some security system conversions(Including my Personal) starting with mine first. I decided to go with blue iris, I had played around with the demo a few times, I purchased a key like 5 years ago but never activated it. So here we are 5 years later...

    Replacing aging LTS system

    I believe it only federal or If local Govs are using any Federal grant money to update security. I still maintain a few towns with older Dahau stuff, Closed systems so Nobody cares. That being said, some States have adopted the same standards as the feds. I think I installed them before NDAA was...

    Where are the 2025 Models?

    You Got that right. I think the resellers are also being jacked off buy the Distributors so they have to pass it along. I'm so glad I hung my installer hat a few years ago. You say security!!! I'm still doing limited IT consulting and at every turn of the corner I'm patching something playing...

    Consumer based wireless mesh systems

    Consumer based wireless mesh systems

    So Im testing this-->Asus ZENWIFI XD4plus AX1800 I have no back-haul cables yet, So far so good, kinda strange, seems certain devices like the one furthest away from the one in the room..go figure, The Roku's initially crashed with the 2.4 and could not even see the 2.4 after. Next day, they...

    Consumer based wireless mesh systems

    I took a look at a few, The Asus systems are all set for back haul with a extra Lan connection on the nodes. Not sure about dedicated wireless channel, good point on that one, will have to check.

    Consumer based wireless mesh systems

    Nice reply...Thanks Glad you did not have any nightmare scenario's .. That being said, A lot of the older houses that were built like brick shit houses have really solid walls and seem to have the most issues. I have talked to builders..a few of them and they still have no plans of pre wiring...

    Consumer based wireless mesh systems

    Hey all, Bringing this up because as home systems are ditching the either-net cables, the wireless demands are rising. Just over a year ago I helped a local Museum with a dead wireless issue. Their Spectrum gear was in the basement and not cutting it anymore. They ended up buying a Netgear...

    Drone swarms in the northeast?

    This is a wild story. I do not believe for one second that they do not know what these are for the good or bad. It might be serving a few purposes at once, Subterfuge, Lookie Lookie over here, keeping the news cycles pointed at them. Either way, not saying or admitting what going on is not good...

    I have a camera under attack. How are they doing this?

    Just a quick check of how many different sellers of these cams. Nothing would stop me from buying a lot of these and reworking the firmware and reselling 100 of them, most likely 90 of them would go unnoticed, That goes for all used IT equipment you find on Ebay, Tons of Vulnerable EOL Cisco and...

    NewsBreak App Do You use it ?

    Anybody use this app? I friend of mine sent me a local story with a link through text messaging. It wanted me to install the Newsbreak app on my android. I'm pretty app-less on my phone and always suspect of any app. A bit of research on it, Turns out that one of its major owners is a Chinese...

    Israel attacked by Hamas...

    This whole thing is something out of a James Bond Movie, Imagine all the members getting new technology and having it malfunction and explode, I saw flames on one of the videos. They just took out I bet half their fighting force and killed their ways to communicate with one push of a computer...

    Do you think this is a sketchy?

    I'm pretty much done with it, The Agency I contract for does not care at this point either( we all know Gov agency's) I have a friend who works at a rather large engineering University locally and their Cyber security lab is awesome, he said he will run it through when I see him again. At this...

    Do you think this is a sketchy?

    So I was able to get my hands on it, gave it a look on the sandbox, No files looks clean except 256k of used something(I think that's to be expected) did not see any hidden files, no change to anything. However Won't be using it for anything.
