I took CERT training about ten years ago. You‘re taught it’s very important to survey the scene before jumping into action. The heroic rescuers in this video were trying to open a door that was up against the guardrail. One night about two years ago, I came upon a small SUV that had snapped off...

Could be a driver problem. Can you run it in safe mode with networking and see if it behaves?

What model switch are you using for this?

I’d add an internal hard drive in the BI PC for the recordings instead of using your NAS. Keep that traffic off of your LAN. Depending on you router’s capabilities, your IoT devices can be on a guest network or otherwise isolated from your LAN but not on the cameras subnet.

I hear ya about lightning...there are NO failproof solutions. I'm in PA and we get our share of thunderstorms. Most damage I've seen is due to differences in device grounds I've also used Ubiquiti devices including their ETH-SP for static. There is no power at the remote building so it'll be...

Yes, probably will use something like this.

Thanks for your reply…yes, messenger cable with clamps. Since the pipe will extend a couple of feet above the roof, I suppose a proper ground rod should be used.

I need to run a 40 foot aerial ethernet messenger cable between two buildings. The destination building is about 13 feet high but the source building is only about nine feet high at it's highest point so I need to raise the mounting point a couple of feet for adequate ground clearance...

I suppose the TP-Link devices would work. It all depends on your intended uses at each location and whether or not you also want WiFi on the farm field. Ubiquiti's NS-5AC-US Nanostations, for example, would be for establishing a point-to-point link only...they are not traditional WiFi access...

If you have power at all locations and clear lines of sight you can use Ubiquiti’s Nanostation access points.

Have you authorized the BI machine within your ZeroTier network management settings?

Shutter is manually set at 1/250 About 30 feet from camera to plate.

This is an unedited image from a relatively inexpensive 8MP IPC-T2831-ZS S2 which is currently being used as an overview to get a baseline sense of daily human behavior at a temporary location. IT was not intended to provide LPR, but plates are easily identifiable during the day, and I was...

Think of it as self-managed, encrypted virtual networking. It is neither fair nor accurate to see it as simply a Napster-type p2p. I've not read of any security issues.
