    Substream FPS setting.... Where did it go?

    In the web GUI of my oldest Dahuas, I can set the frame rates of the main and subs separately. Under Camera/Video tab. The newer cams and newer web GUIs I can't find the setting. What am I missing?

    Captured: ATM Heist

    Cool Video! I am thoroughly perplexed by this statement: "This video allowed the police to end the search for someone who may have ran when they showed up. " What does that even mean? Did the police apprehend someone or no?

    Does the PTZ5A4M-25X 1/1.8 fit on mounting arm used for Dahua PTZ SD49225T-HN?

    If it helps to know... the PTZ5A4M includes the mount arm (PFB305W)

    I was trying to rearrange and tidy-up the horror that is my switch closet and one difficulty has been how to arrange and mount the four power supply bricks for the switches. The biggest trouble was figuring out a way to mount the rear-wired switches so that the front AND back of them would be...

    Wall of shame

    It DOES look like that guy grip is on an insulated conductor... I sure hope it's just an illusion and the grip is actually on a bare stranded carrierI A guy grip and insulation is a bad mix.

    Yeah my memory has faded in the transition details. '66 remains a pivotal year, though the IRS was by far the most significant functional change until the Super Beetle came out as an alternative, different in so many ways...while the standard beetle carried on in various markets.

    Cuban Classic Cars

    When my mother was in the showroom negotiating on her very first new-car buy (and her first car buy as a single mom) the guy ushered her into the finance office while I was making raucous engine noises and rowing through the gears of the 4-4-2 convertible on the floor.... and then my 9-year-old...

    Cuban Classic Cars

    The '66 was the last year of the 6-volt system, last year of the (related) glass headlight covers, last year of the swing-axle suspension, last year of the "wide five" lug bolt pattern wheels, the first and last (only) year of the 1300cc engine! There were also '66-omly bumper guards and...

    PM on the WAY! I have been to GTMO.... but this does nothing as there's NO connection to the local area or economy. You are on the same island.... but not in the same world, there.

    Thanks a ton for this! I find myself inexplicably curious about Cuba or more specifically 'Life in Cuba' because the Embargo or versions of it have been in place since I was one year old. So, over the years, it has been a mystery-land. The few pictures that we typically see tend to paint what...

    Also..... he’s in Cuba. I’m very curious about CanCuba’s general marketplace access. @CanCuba do you buy from Amazon etc? I sort of assume you can get everything , just via Belize/Mexico etc Oh wait... is the embargo still a thing, even?

    I have now ordered one of the IPC-B54IR-Z4E S3 cams as I have been frustrated, lately with the lack of clarity (actually a focus issue methinks) with a turret cam I have at the street. Given that I have only a small house but deploy now 21 cameras.... this really IS a sickness, you know. All...

    Fixed My New PTZ5A4Mx25's sloppy installation. How should I Fix this Better?

    I'm thinking of it sleeved in adhesive-lined heat-shrink as a possible approach... at least it's another tool in the box of options.

    I found these while I was ordering the punch-down splice... Clearly not outdoor rated but they look really slick and could be boxed or sleeved I'm curious if any of you are familiar with them? VCELINK Tool-Free RJ45 Coupler Shielded, Tool Less Ethernet Cable Extender PoE+ for Cat7/Cat6a/Cat6...

    Fixed My New PTZ5A4Mx25's sloppy installation. How should I Fix this Better?

    Some interesting replies. gathering info ... Not sure the PFA120 adds much except about in inch of depth. I guess the approved method would be the PFA120 plus the PFA 150 pole mount (with different clamps). I think the punch-down splice seen above is pretty cool. I'd probably lean toward using...

    Fixed My New PTZ5A4Mx25's sloppy installation. How should I Fix this Better?

    Apparently that's the ONLY option, at least in my recent searching. I am hoping that someone offers something more... rugged(?) Also, the wire used in the camera's pigtail is STRANDED and looks like to be maybe 26ga. I don't think any version of punch-down block is likely to work.

    Fixed My New PTZ5A4Mx25's sloppy installation. How should I Fix this Better?

    What's the best approach to replace the camera's female connection? I'm mulling over making a thorough solder-heat shrink-fully twisted and sleeved splice to add a twenty-foot lead to it so that testing can be done without aerial equipment and no other connection hardware to deal with up top...

    Fixed My New PTZ5A4Mx25's sloppy installation. How should I Fix this Better?

    Put up the new cam on my antenna mast recently, using a rented manlift and in too big a hurry. The connection used the included "weather-tight" RJ45 sleeve, but no junction box was used. Because of the mast mount, I'm trying to avoid the added weight and stand-off distance that a proper pole...

    ooof! My mistake; I had confused this thread with some other discussion elsewhere and had convinced myself that you had experienced a spaghetti fail or similar while printing this piece. I see now that I was wrong, Carry on! .

    Thanks for the breakdown. Curious if you calculated the cost of the failed print?

    3D Printing Dual Camera Mount for Pairing Z12's

    Some printing software produces a record of the amount of filament used in the print by length or weight and that info could be used to see the exact cost.... Just spitballing, I 'd guess that's maybe two of bucks of filament. @guykuo might have that info.

    Every year when these topics come up i see so many folks suggest that if only they had four-wheel drive, yada yada yada.
