    DS-2CD2185FWD-I - Heat issue

    You must realize that cameras don't have any ventilation openings otherwise they would not be water resistant for outdoor use.

    Hiding camera in plain sight, frontyard?

    I don't try to hide my cameras out of sight, in fact I have yard signs posted that security cameras are in use. Number one it is a deterrent, and number two people can't say they didn't know they were being recorded while on my property.

    Interfernce to HF amateur Radio

    The first thing I would do is to make sure the NVR / camera system is actually the source of RF interference. Ask the owner to shut it down and see if the interference stops and if so turn it back on to see if it comes back. The NVR system should have been RF emissions tested and certified to...

    3D Printing Dual Camera Mount for Pairing Z12's

    My son has at least six 3-D printers and sometimes prints items on consignment. It's amazing what can be done with 3-D printing.

    Slip 'n Spin

    When I lived in Ohio I put burlap bags filled with 200 pounds of sand in the bed of my truck to get better traction since it didn't have 4-wheel drive. I drove to my sisters house making turns by memory because both the roads and sidewalks were buried in snow and couldn't be seen.

    TV head phones

    I've not had any signal delay issues related to Bluetooth. However, if I have TV audio streaming through my hearing aids but can also hear the TV speakers via ambient audio it can get interesting and sounds like I'm in a theatre. My hearing aid app allows me to adjust the balance between ambient...

    TV head phones

    In general I've found that the Bluetooth implementation really sucks on most hearing aids regardless of brand and there's lots of variability depending on the specific devises being used. My hearing aids retail for $6,500 but the Bluetooth performance is still erratic at times, however part of...

    TV head phones

    One thing you will quickly learn in the world of hearing aids is that everyone is different. It's important to find a good audiologist to help select the best hearing aid for the specific type of hearing loss being treated. People with only mild hearing loss have different needs than someone...

    TV head phones

    You may find that using wireless headphones disables the TV speakers. I wear Widex hearing aids and have a Widex TV Play connected to my TV that streams audio directly to my hearing aids and it's completely independent of the TV speaker volume level so others can watch TV at a comfortable sound...

    T-Mobile 5G Home Internet AND Blue Iris

    Nah....we're good. I've been wanting to dump my T-Mobile gateway which is why your setup caught my attention. Nader Tater recommends the Cheetah 5G gateway so I'm looking at that one as well...

    T-Mobile 5G Home Internet AND Blue Iris

    Supposedly the tech support for that company is email only which can take up to 48 hours to get a response and even then they offer little help. One person said it fried his SIM card. That would be a deal breaker for me. :eek...

    New Florida Plates

    The plate could have fallen off or was stolen. The car in front of them looks like it has an FJB decal on the back window. :lmao: :lmao:

    Harley sales keep declining.....

    It's just not safe to ride a motorcycle anymore and even very experienced riders are being seriously injured or killed. All it takes is one distracted idiot to ruin your day.

    SiriusXM Sued for How Hard it is to Cancel : Steve Lehto

    SiriusXM should allow the option to cancel a subscription through their website but they don't so you have to call them. I have to call every six months and threaten to cancel my subscription just to keep my current lower rate for the next billing cycle. That's another game they make you play...

    Dahua NVR Quiet Silent Fan Mod

    I know this is an old thread, but just be aware that when you cut the wire mesh off it can affect the EMI (RF interference) integrity of the NVR. That wire mesh isn't there just for safety reasons but also FCC RF emissions compliance. Don't use a replacement fan that moves less CFM of airflow...

    Grounding Best Practices?

    It sounds like you just need to buy some better equipment. If you buy cheap surge protectors then don't expect much protection from them because all you're really getting is a false sense of security. I don't know what POE extenders you used but if they have a 3-prong AC power cord then they are...

    WTS Fanless Box Intel 4-Core 8-Thread CPU with Quick Sync, 16GB RAM, 120GB SSD. $70~80.

    We purchased several little mini-PC's for test beds at work that don't require the processing power of a full size PC, plus they easily mount to a rack. One of them suddenly would not boot and I went around in circles with product support but they kept repeatedly asking the same questions I had...

    WTS Fanless Box Intel 4-Core 8-Thread CPU with Quick Sync, 16GB RAM, 120GB SSD. $70~80.

    Most of these low cost no-name brand PC's have zero manufacturer warranty support and you can't download any firmware updates. Microsoft no longer supports Windows 7 and Windows 10 isn't very far behind it.

    Is reddit right about copper cables between buildings?

    Here in NC Spectrum uses a special machine to bury the cable so tree roots aren't a problem. I have seen AT&T hand bury fiber cable the way you described.

    Grounding Best Practices?

    If your switch uses a three-prong power cord then it's grounded through the ground prong on the power cord. Regarding the inline surge stuff it's way overkill unless you have some very expensive equipment hardware to protect. I've worked in IT and commercial network environments for years and we...

    Is reddit right about copper cables between buildings?

    I have a similar situation with my son living next door. We ran about 80 feet of gray PVC conduit underground between the houses and then pulled a fiber optic cable which is for network use and not cameras but same difference. If you don't use shielded Ethernet cable between the houses then...

    How to wire/install when soffits are too high?

    Here are photos of my post installed cameras that cover the entire back, front, and sides of my property. I also have a doorbell camera and PTZ camera on the front side of the house, so it's eight cameras covering the outside parameter. The third camera on one post is missing in these photos...

    How to wire/install when soffits are too high?

    I think this is way overkill for the average home with only a few cameras installed since these are not commercial or medical building environments. For most people the risk of lightning strike or surge is very low to warrant such a high cost financial investment.
