    Signal loss

    All the cams come into a 8 port TP-Link TL-SF1009P as does the rig with BI. That connects to the router which has a couple PC's and a couple of Roku devices. Longest run on the cams is 80' if that matters. The router is one floor above the switch so it's a small 15' or so patch. Router is a...

    Signal loss

    I am relatively new to this, 6 months or so, so bare with me please. I've got 5 cams total all on BI (v5.9.7.4 x64) with three recording 24/7. Everything is on an old gaming rig. AMD 7 2700X, 16GB DDR4, 1GB nvmE, 16TB WD Red, (Internal) 4TB WD Red, (External) for other media and a 4TB WD Purple...

    Quick and dirty

    I went with the IPC-Color4K-T180 for overview. I moved all the data to the purple to save the m.2 drive thanks for the heads up. I will play with the yard light a bit. I've yet to find the perfect level of zoom to cover the area and get identifying features. Still trying to find a dark night...

    Yeah, I fiddled with it a bit and couldn't get it to work so far. It may not be any good anyway. Got the three I ordered installed and up and running. I went with either side of the garage door header and put the light that was in the center of the drive on the back porch and installed the 180...

    Thanks tangent for the recommendations. Bought two refurbs. Also picked up 1k' of Cat5e (solid not braided), 8 port PoE switch, crimpers, fish tape,10TB WD purple, (came into a used 4TB WD Purple until the 10 TB comes in). Going to mount each one onto the header to the garage door crossing each...

    Yeah I was looking at those prices and was hesitant. That refurb is much easier on the wallet. I run the risk of becoming the target with those big guys out there but I’ll need damning proof before the local PD gets off their ass. Thanks for the advice.

    Yeah with no fences or anything to corral them in I was going to put one on their door and one on the victims door. Maybe a third one for overview to start.

    Not the suspect neighbors but probably one of their friends. Caught on the targets cheap unknown brand blink style camera. My cheap blink only caught the police response. Trail cam batteries died two days before. Fml. I am still formulating a plan and budget. Hopefully be up and running this...

    No, they bought unfortunately. I’m in a pretty affluent town for the area and these guys don’t belong. Every six weeks or so there are complaints about the kid nearly causing a wreck or driving aggressively. Parents don’t care and even encourage some of the stupid behavior. They moved in about...

    I should have done this sooner. Wanted to years ago and never did and now I've got problems. I need to catch a neighbor who is getting more and more aggressive with other neighbors. They jumped him once at his place and have now started launching large fireworks at/into his home. It's only a...

    Looking to finally build a setup

    I’m thinking about finally making the leap. I am eyeing a dell PowerEdge R720 server. It has 2x 2.60 GHz e5-2670, 192 GB ram and a fat 16TB WD Gold hdd. I am looking to make a few virtual machines on it. One as a file server, one as a Media server (plex) and one for Blue Iris. I am not going to...
