    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    I can't understand why nobody wants to find out HOW or WHY this happened. The left wants you to think Hegseth personally added the press traitor to the distribution list. The right wants you to think it was just harmless small talk. If Hegseth actually did or ordered this, then I'd agree...

    I want to see the wildlife in the garden at night, looking for some half decent cameras and maybe a NVR .... already made some bad choices.

    You'll find that this forum very heavily leans toward Dahua cameras from Empire Tech. Among them, for your purposes, the short list of cameras is the 541 S3 and 581 S3 series, with Empire Tech's firmware version that allows the camera AI to detect animals. 541 will give you better low light...

    Using ethernet splitter for two cameras

    BI doesn't care about the ports in that way. All that matters is that each camera has its own IP address, and that it's reachable on the network. The Loryta device is a poe-powered 2-port POE switch. The only issue should be if the port powering the Loryta device delivers enough power to power...

    EU follies

    I should have put that in my own reply. Health insurance costs were at least doubled by obamacare, and deductibles skyrocketed by several multiples. Did that extra money go to medical care for low income people? No, most of it went into the money laundering system to enrich the insurers and...

    EU follies

    I'm commenting on a few things from this post below. "Here for 3 years there has been a heavy war... a war that no one wanted, but Russia broke the signed peace treaties and invaded a neighboring country." Didn't USA+NATO first break an agreement about limiting NATO expansion to the east? I'm...

    EU follies

    Yep. Here's timely example: Seven GOP Establishment Senators Anonymously Attack Vice President Vance One snip: "In other words, they are concerned that Vance has an “isolationist” rather than globalist worldview. One anonymous Republican senator told the outlet that “a number of Republican...

    IPC-Color4K-T180 Water intrusion

    No water issues yet with my T180. It's been up for about a year, totally unprotected.

    Oregon senate votes to outlaw discrimination against tenants based on immigration status In other words, the landlord will be a criminal if he doesn't rent to criminals. I'm wondering if I should start a thread "Oregon is swirling the toilet bowl".

    Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg threatens to release MORE war plans texts after being included in group chat This guy must not have any brains. If he releases the "war plans" and they include classified info, he should be punished as a traitor. If there isn't any classified info, he outed...

    IPC-Color4K-X no connection after IP change

    If all else fails, you can see if ConfigTool finds them. If not, a reset might be the best way to start over. When you use ConfigTool to change an IP address, it warns if the address is already in use. Yes, there is a reason I know about that.

    Ukraine related: Was Ukraine Government Is Handing Out Guns To Citizens, What Happened to Gun Control?

    You rubbed our USA noses in a lot of things I agree with (not every single point). I don't consider google a reliable source for anything, yet concede that the war stats are at least "kinda sorta" correct. USA (the country, not most of the people) likes wars. Overall we have lousy...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    You are not being a correct citizen/voter. You are supposed to be 100% for or 100% against every politician regardless of what the say or do. I have similar feelings about our new labor secretary. She was our former RINO congressperson.

    Best image sensor?

    I'm surprised by this. My 4k-x focuses well out to infinity. Edit: Maybe I shouldn't be surprised because you said "many", so the 4k-x is possibly an exception.

    Mount POE Switch Inside or Outside the House?

    I assume you have power available wherever you'd put the switch outside.

    Zelensky does seem to be at war with anybody who wants to end the war.

    Ukraine related: Was Ukraine Government Is Handing Out Guns To Citizens, What Happened to Gun Control?

    And the USA has helped overthrow the government of numerous countries. Much cheaper than a military attack, and doesn't carry the same stigma.

    Worse than the covid fiasco! That means because of Trump they will have to shut down businesses, keep people in there houses, and freeze bank accounts. Just for starters, since the trade war is worse than covid.

    US : "We might have to consider giving up portions of Texas"

    Good job on this. It's an example that narratives can be constructed to justify a desired point of view, I'm reminded of an instance many years ago when I was a T-ball coach. When I wasn't looking, one of my players hit another on the head with a bat. Sounds like a cut-and-dry good guy, bad...

    Question regarding NVR

    I run an NVR and BI in parallel. All the cameras connect to the POE switch, the NVR connects to the POE switch, and the BI machine connects to the POE switch. The NVR and BI system are totally independent of each other.

    Gunshots outside my house - On the news

    Sharpstown. I lived there for a year in 1972-73, out of college working for TI in Stafford. I was in brand new 4-story Ranchester Apartments, which doesn't seem to exist anymore. Maybe in the way of the new tollway? . The new airport had just opened, and traffic anywhere around Houston was...

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    Like so many other stats, the data was probably warped to fit the desired result, but for playing make believe that it's correct, it does say it's for "public schools". But nitpicking even deeper, it states the enrollment number was for public schools, and the other numbers were for...

    Get a dashcam. Period!

    Many years ago I was rear-ended going 70 mph on the Autobahan. I saw the car approaching a couple of seconds before impact and floored the go pedal, which probably didn't actually help much. No debate about whose fault it was with the other driver admitting he was distracted. My car was a...

    He sometimes says something good and I tune him in when I get the chance. It's getting harder and harder to catch any good stuff. His show is ~50% commercials, then of what's left, a lot of that is promoting himself, one of his books, or his Fox show. Add to that he's simply a big a-hole who...

    Those dolphins are space aliens and thought it was one of their supply ships. They get their stuff out then let the capsule sink to the bottom.

    MS strikes again

    I'm running only 16 cameras on the NVR. I have BI running in parallel, using all of them. I've been fighting and/or tinkering with BI for about a year and it's running fairly well now, and I'm spoiled wanting to keep both of them going, needlessly putting more carbon in the atmosphere. Each...

    MS strikes again

    I know exactly what you're saying, and this is one of my big head-butting issues with the BI experts here. My career was in computer R&D and I 'm able to eventually learn what to do. It's just not where I want to spend my time and energy. Not intending to restart the debate, it's just that...
