    IP scanner to find what's on your network

    Very simple, small, easy to use stand-alone program... I've had this in my arsenal for a long time, and have used it several times... anyway, I've realized that not everyone has some of these cool little tools that can make life a bit more simple, so have decided to share it to anyone who may...

    hopefully, maybe, with any luck, the above screen grabs will help someone out with the uverse modem/router combo..sorry for the excessive posts, but I don't have good luck editing posts and uploading photos...so, figured since I got all of that posted successfully, I'd just add another.. now...

    Can't connect remotely, private ip from ISP instead of public?

    NOOOO, don't do anything in the way of paying AT&T any extra money!!!...lol.. IF you have the same, or similar modem/router I have from AT&T, it can be forwarded with the current modem firmware. It is not an easy task to figure out if you are used to looking at a trendnet, netgear, or Linksys...

    Break in, sort of

    like I tell my friends and family...cameras do not keep a thief from taking something, but as long as they don't find my remote hard drive that holds the data, i'll record them until they unplug my computer.

    WOW....and I thought I was going to impress someone with my screen shot.... anyway, I think networkcameracritic hit the nail on the head.. I've been tweaking a lot lately..with the addition of my latest HIK 3mp, I spiked CPU to 100% and it held there until I cut the frame rate down, and bit...

    Cat5/6 Cable - Currently very cheap / on offer at Newegg

    takes me about 2 minutes to do solid Ethernet cable into an RJ45, about 2 1/2 minutes to do it with stranded wire. so, a bit more difficult, but I've done a LOT of them, lol..so, not too big of a deal for me.

    Cat5/6 Cable - Currently very cheap / on offer at Newegg

    Just delivered...little bit more "rubbery" than the other stuff I had, but for as cheap as I got it, it'll work just fine.. 7 strands in each wire, and very flexible. Stripped the outer casing and lined them up to put in an RJ45 connector and they slid right in fine. Good cheap wire for the money.

    Passive POE trick to save a buck

    ehh, not as scary as you think...for example, I'm getting ready to mount an old 640x480 leftover cam from my recent upgrade at my house... Putting it at my business, will be about 20 feet from the switch and power supply. Rather than run a 20 foot extension cord, I'm going to patch in the power...

    Ok...I suppose it's my fault for not being more specific... I'll admit, I didn't put any details about the post... But considering the thread, "cam captures", I would think that it is safe to say that everyone can agree that that is my mailbox in front of my house, being viewed with my...

    kind of funny...I went over and told the kids' dad to keep them away from my business or they'd end up in big trouble. 2mp camera at 15 fps running about 400kB/s bitrate..... action towards the top of the screen is about 60 feet away from where the camera is mounted. Seems like it lost a...

    Zavio D7111 unable to add camera

    sigh...I've had the exact same issue with 3 of the cams I've gotten from china...they slap the same ol' hardware in a case with some other logo on it, and sometimes put a different firmware on them, but I've managed to get them all up and running by trial/error...I'm not much of a camera guru...

    Ok, here is a wee bit of my personal experience...feel free to comment on it... I completely over estimated wireless capabilities... have a REALLY nice router, buffalo running DDWRT, and decent wireless on my computer...even though it all says 54 or 100mb/s, I'm not getting even a small fraction...
