    Looks like hp z-240’s are coming off lease (i7-6700).. are they good?

    I got a 7040 OptiPlex from eBay, a week ago. Description said Windows 10 Pro, but it shipped with Windows 10 Home. I CBF sending an email to seller. My genuine Windows 10 Pro key cost a hell of a lot more. It was $1.99!

    BI-5 Remote Management? Anyone using it?

    Purchased the second BI licence for remote viewing. IMO a second licence For $35 USD is a bargain. (contact support via BI to get details of 2nd licence discount).

    Plate Recognizer for ALPR

    Both are great cameras. The Z12E has a few more AI features like Heat Map and People counting. There's really nothing between them, day or night.

    Testing out Plate Recognizer on on of my LPR cams (HFW5241E-Z12E). The camera is also using OpenALPR for LPR detection, should be an interesting experiment.

    10 TB WD100EMAZ for surveillance storage

    Mine arrived today, found a good shucking knife, gave them a good sniff and a quick nipple rub and chucked them into the NAS. So far so good! I am trying one in the newer DS918+ . The drive spun up ok, so did not have to do anything with the pins.

    10 TB WD100EMAZ for surveillance storage

    AFAIK they should be fine...I got 2x10tb enclosure on the way from Amazon to shuck and chuck into an older NAS. Being around 1/2 the price of a WD Red 10tb drive it's worth a try.
