    Reolink NTP

    just another thought that popped into my head as I've never used the 'nettime' application, I use Windows built-in NTP server. Are there any config settings for that application that will confirm which port is being used for NTP? I just assumed UDP 123 as thats standard port for it.

    Reolink NTP

    it looks like your Dahua cam is also going out to the internet for its time source as you are using "0.nettime.pool.ntp.org" as your NTP server. You need to point that to the IP address of your local NTP server. I dont see anywhere on the Reolink screenshot to do that so perhaps its hardcoded...

    Need help

    you may have to define "not working" a little more You didnt specify what kind of test you did on the cable, i.e. You may have continuity on the cable pairs but they may not be wired to standard etc. If its a managed managed switch, are the switchports administratively enabled/disabled? Is PoE...

    Gas prices

    at least post brexit you guys have the power to reduce VAT and Excise on fuel now without having to go cap in hand to the unelected EU. Although im sure BoJo is loving the extra coin the treasury is raking in from it. We "got permission" to do so but are still in the top 3 for fuel prices in the...

    Gas prices

    thats where we are at in ireland now per litre in Euros. Govt did the same by reducing the tax by 20 cents a litre... some fuel stations immediately increased their prices by the same amount so when the cuts came, they were back to the price they were. Complete price gouging. Stories of people...

    Pre Wire for a friend

    Ha! I have that exact cabinet (sourced though work for circa €80). It came with a shelf inside also. I have it mounted to my wall and it holds all my net coms & TV distribution gear splendidly. I added a small fan on the top vent powered from a USB port on one of my devices to help keep the air...

    NTP Time Synchronization & Legal

    I have NTP server running on my BI machine. The steps in this article will sort you out. Just remember, if you have your BI machine's network access restricted to make sure your BI machine can still poll NTP servers itself (allow UDP 123). I have my BI machine grab time from my router so its...

When i updated to Win 10 i ended up using the SSD solo as the boot disk (but its only 80GB!!). And...
