    URGENT!!! There will be new DMSS 2.0 and new cloud account mode & new cloud video streaming

    Is there a way to use this thing without creating an account? I thought the first few posts said there was a way, but I can't find it.

    Britain is Lost

    About 10 years ago I snapped a picture of a building on downtown Chicago. A few people came running out of the building screaming we weren't allowed to take pictures of it and had to clear the area. Don't remember which building it was, near the Olgive transit center.

    Funny / Satire

    ^^^^^ When I was in college in the past century, my main prof predicted exactly this (without the "P" word) and I thought he was nuts. We were both private pilots and I also foo-fooed his prediction about everything moving to glass cockpits, as well terabyte memory. Now that I'm old I realize...

    Money & Economics

    I look at the spot price, which to me is actual, vs. guesses with the future price. Spot is still under $3,000. My prediction, which you are free to follow knowing my history of buy high, sell low, is that the spot price will dance around $3,000 for a while yet, then might maybe have a clean...

    You found the key. "Noise Filter" would be better labeled "Distortion Inserter".

    My Dahua 5x42 S3 / T/B5xIR Related Bugs As Promised

    I'm caught flatfooted responding to this. I'm not running AcuPick. I tried it when I first got the camera and for some reason it didn't work out for me. Trouble is, I forgot the reason.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    I know I'm a broken record on this. The demp don't vote based on WHAT the issue is, but rather on WHO it's for. For most of the Trump things that the dems are screaming doom about, they'd be praising if Obama or Biden had wanted the same thing.

    My Dahua 5x42 S3 / T/B5xIR Related Bugs As Promised

    My S3 IVS triggered 40 times last night on this single strand of spider web, which includes the 2 white dots from IR reflection. Firmware is V3.142.15OG000.0.R, Build Date: 2024-05-16. The spider I realize IS an animal, but not the kind I'm looking for!

    Designated Survivor. It was pretty good for a while, then the story line ran out of gas and it wasn't all that good any more (IMO of course).

    bidens incredible transition to electric cars

    You're correct. I have 2 cars that have voice recognition, and that's part of the problem. It's hard enough to remember the proper vocabulary for even one of them, but for me anyway, learning two different command languages and not getting mixed up is close to impossible. It's hard enough to...

    Empiretech T54IR-ZE S3 still on top?

    Important to some, the IPC-T54IR-ZE S3 IVS can trigger on animals. The IPC-Color4M-TL IVS is blind to them.

    Fixed lens turret smaller in size than a varifocal?

    If you have a pre-S3 5442, the S3 drops right into its mount. I don't like the new mount either.

    Here's an example of how the press convinces uninformed people that conservatives are more violent than liberals: "...an anonymous agent has publicly warned that the domestic counter-terrorism strategy could switch from inquiries against the hyper-violent far right to leftwing protest...

    bidens incredible transition to electric cars

    Wow, it's even worse than I realized. I could write a mini novel about all the things that suck in our 2019 Subaru. Two of my "favorites" are that the radio crashes, and the dash display sometimes says to shut the engine off when it's not running. Without the screwed up tech, it's a good car.

    bidens incredible transition to electric cars

    This is an article about one of my hot points with the newer cars, EV or not. Last car I bought I purposely went to a last year's model to have real buttons for the climate controls instead of having to hit the right button on the touchscreen. I have 2 cars now where it's a pain in the ass to...

    Money & Economics

    I been noticing the coordinated Trump doom messages from multiple media outlets. Yesterday it was Trump starting WW III, today it was Trump crashing the economy. Did the doom articles cause the downturn today? They were out long before the markets closed. Once you get the herd moving in one...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Very true, but they have about half the population convinced otherwise. Same thing with race discrimination, the dems fought to keep minorities enslaved, yet the minorities think its the dems that fought for them. They've got one heck of an effective brainwashing capability.

    "Wow. @elonmusk says the cyberattack on @X today originated from IP addresses in Ukraine." Just to throw possibilities out there, it could be a false flag. Elon throws the switch and blames it on Ukraine. I don't know what the motive would be, I don't know how to play 4D chess. Heck, for...

    The official "WTF" thread

    Blocks with integrated insulation are one way. I imagine that is newer technology. If you want to spend 12 minutes on an overview this struck me as a fairly decent video. Seems to me this type of construction is less tolerant of shoddy workmanship than with a stick-built house.

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

    It would be nice if the cycle could be broken this time and many thousands of lives saved. Trump is the first president in a long time that doesn't like wars. Don't forget that the victors of war write the history, so you'd have to wonder whose version would be repeating.

    The official "WTF" thread

    The standard German house is "built like a tank" compared to USA houses. The exterior walls are over a foot thick, built with clay blocks. The interior walls are also blocks. Floors are poured concrete, even for a second story floor, and the roofs are tile. In the last decade or so, wood...

    PTZ control quit working with SD4A425DB-HNY

    Yep, weird. I shut off the ONVIF login authentication and the yellow triangle immediately went away. PTZ still didn't work. On a whim I did a BI restart camera. Now the PTZ controls work. I'll file this in the random computer weirdness bucket. 2 problems fixed, thanks for the help.

    PTZ control quit working with SD4A425DB-HNY

    Thanks for the hints. No luck with trying other PTZ protocols. It was originally set to ONVIF, the PTZ controls worked a couple of days ago, and I haven't updated anything. The only thing I've done is I turned the dome by hand today, but since PTZ works on the other interfaces I'm ruling that...

    PTZ control quit working with SD4A425DB-HNY

    All of a sudden the BI PTZ controls quit working on my SD4A425DB-HNY mini PTZ camera. They still work on the camera's web interface and smartPSS. I rebooted the camera and the BI machine with no luck. I don't recall changing anything that should affect this. Any hints on what to look at? An...

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

    I didn't mean to suggest that the US paid for European healthcare. What I mean is not having a large defense budget meant that what was spent for defense in the US was available to spend on other things in European countries. Right now, social programs are the biggest US budget item, but for a...
