    WTS Dahua IPC-HDW5459TM-ASE-IL for Sale – Brand New & Sealed ( 2.8mm )

    There's a hole in my funds bucket and I can't seem to find it. The fill valve is only providing a trickle. I think there's a blockage and a leak somewhere

    I guess a "concerned citizen" anonymous tip? :rofl:

    NDAA update

    Sure looks like Amcrest is going the way of Lorex - cheap cameras for the masses with handicapped performance. Sinking to the bottom of the barrel

    New 5MP Starvis 2 sensor announced

    And like most 5mp cameras, it is a 4:3 aspect ratio. So, you either get black space on each side when viewing or the image is cropped to fit. Either way, in my opinion, not ideal. But what do I know :confused:

    IR illuminator install

    If it were just me here, I'd paint the damn downspout flat black and be done with it, but I live with the wife and the WAF on covering, painting or adding something to the downspout will likely not end well. I think my only option is to add the small deflector panels to the illuminator to help...

    IR illuminator install

    It currently is mounted to the fence in a temporary fashion for testing. As I mentioned, mounting the illuminator too forward will likely create a dark spot right at the gate, right where you would want to recognize the perp. I think the only option that I can see here is right where it is...

    IR illuminator install

    I wanted to revisit adding an IR illuminator to our narrow side yard, specifically placement as there is quite a bit of obstacles to deal with. With that in mind, my initial thought was to mount on the short fence panel next to the gate directly below the camera as it would be equidistant from...

    Anyone know how to delete an account? Can you self-delete or does admin need to do it?

    The official "WTF" thread

    I would hazard a guess that they'll charge the driver with something. Auto driving feature does not engage by itself - the driver has to activate it. The driver is responsible for control of the vehicle, period. Edit: seems he told the responding police that he did in fact have the auto driving...

    RF Detector?

    What do you mean? As I mentioned, I live with my wife who has no clue how to even view the cameras and is normally at work when the issues happen. I work from home so I'm here all day except for an hour of morning errands. And the office where the equipment is located has a keyed entry device...
