    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Serious? Most of these fraud claims are manufactured. Simply fabricated from thin air by people looking to stir things up. Here are just a few. And many of these were widely circulated: Here Are The (Debunked) Voter Fraud Claims Trump And His Supporters Are Spreading As I said most of these...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    All the polls said trump would lose, now that he has suddenly it has to be fraud. I voted republican last week, but in the past week I've seen little more than tears about what happened from the right, and desperate clinging to utterly ridiculous claims about such obvious lies such as...

    Classic brick wall response :rofl: And blocking any interference on his preconceived thoughts. Textbook.

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    I know I'm talking to a brick wall but if you were not so far down the rabbit hole you would realize I'm talking exactly, precisely about mindsets like yours. This fraud stuff with the election is why democrats are laughing at you. I am a registered republican. i wanted trump to win, not...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    I should go there more. A ton of news sites are nothing but relinking to AP anyway; it has a lot of the journalists who actually report on the real news. As it is I ignore almost everything people link these days unless it's from a genuine news site (including the biased, but ostensibly...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    I gave up on CNN in 2016 when it lost any semblance of objectivity in its early onset TDS. Fox I rarely go to for the same reason. Truly I’m aware of virtually no news sites now worth a damn. Most have long abandoned journalism and have devolved into political cheerleading for their...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Ten months later I suspect the OP should be quite pleased with his first post. History bore out a reasonable fear here of the virus and also the reaction (eg people freaking out). like everything else in this dying republic covid has become hopelessly political: anti maskers who think covid is...

    No motion event markers in Hikvision mobile apps ?

    I use iOS. I also record my Hikvisions to microsd or NAS. No NVR, be it hardware or software. experimenting tonight with iOS, browser, and ivms4200 lite I see no indication of events in my continuous timeline despite events existing and I can confirm as such in “image playback”. For years I...

    Options for a multi-purpose always on machine

    You can with software expose its attached storage as proper NAS devices. In my case I just use Windows sharing, created a local user account in Windows, and my cameras write through the file share. Although any future camera I will be using microsd only. It provides quicker access and IMO higher...

    Options for a multi-purpose always on machine

    I’d say a small PC fits the bill. As for read writes hurting something yes but not soon enough to matter. Took years of a microsd on my cube camera to finally wear out. I’m now around six years in using external USB drives—one per camera seriously taped to my pc—as the 24/7 storage for cameras...

    Are you concerned about Hikvision's trustworthiness?

    Full disclosure: I've had a few hikvisions going for years. And I just bought another a week back. I like their feature set and price point. And I plan on buying another most likely, in the near future. Evidently a chunk of the company is owned by the Chinese government, and they also would...

    To many 2.4GHz wireless cameras or to much traffic for router?

    I came in to say the same. The claimed speed ratings on them are absolute crap, but they definitely do work, and one is cheap enough to give it a shot. I find they are better in certain rooms, etc. but I was able to get at least 10mbps on the one I used for many years, which was enough to stream...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Alright, I'm maybe a half decade too late but I finally got around to this. I had a raspberry pi 3 kicking around so I got it setup tonight, and I'm using OpenVPN on my iphone. Initially I had the pi connecting to network over wifi and the vpn connection with 1194 port forwarded and UDP only...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    It's over. Hopefully republicans keep the senate and can shut down a lot of the more insane nonsense from the dems. I'm optimistic about 2022. I suspect the democrats are going to be absolutely ridiculous over the next 24 months and will engender a very substantial amount of fury among...

    Did We Really Land on the Moon?

    I bought one of these. Plugged it in today and it's night now. I am coming from a 5+ year old install of 3 MP Hikvisions but the night time on this is quite spectacular actually. I have a very dark street and with all lights turned off I see color everywhere, even in dark corners. It's pretty...

    RJ45 corroding connection

    Okay I realize I posted that five years ago, but wanted to give an update (maybe somebody comes by this). I did scrape off any junk on the connector and/or made a new one (probably I made a new one). Once I confirmed the connection was good I did use some dilectric grease and I then joined it...

    Outdoor cable life expectancy and impact on IR illumination

    I also bet it's the camera itself. I have a few now also about the same vintage. They are just so reliable (hikvisions) I've barely felt a need to replace. Their night time quality is awful but it was never that great to begin with.

    Car broken into AGAIN!!!!

    IMO you need a system that detects intrusion in the vehicle itself and immediately fires an alarm in your bedroom. it's the only way you can catch him in the act. Of course, if you call 911 then they won't get there in time, and many in this situation would be so enraged that they would go down...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    I'm in NY state. I have to submit to our governor who is so proud of himself he wrote a book about leadership during covid. Yes, the nursing home death governor. Trump should have been more consistent and transparent.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Some stuff he was fast on some he wasn't. I think we should have had a national lock down early on and, though he lacked the power to do it, he should have constantly coached it and pushed for it if for no other reason than CYA. The polls were not as far off last as some think. But...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    I'm a register republican. I do believe the current democratic party is sick to the core and not at all like the far better party we had 20, or even 10 years ago. Despite that, I do believe the polls that indicate a Trump loss. This election is not about biden, but rather about Trump. Through a...

    Got a handful of Dahua 4MP Starlight Turrets with Mics in - $75

    Quick queries before I order--I don't use an NVR--I assume these are fully manageable via browser (live view/playback/config). Only other question i I'm used to ivms-4500 (hikvision app) on my phone. Do you know if I can add this camera to that to view footage? Not sure whether protocol is...

    Did We Really Land on the Moon?

    I don't use an NVR. I assume this has on-camera management like the rest of them, but one of the reviews on Nelly's the reviewer said he could not view footage through a browser. I assume that was just user error...? Was planning on storing to an onboard microsd and I like the look of this cam...

    How to manage older Hikvisions in modern browser? E.g. DS-2CD3332-I

    Thanks--I knew IE was here but I swear I could not for the life of me get it to work even playing with various security settings a while back. But now I can, on all three cams. Popped right up on this Windows 10 box with IE, so I'm thinking I'm good for a couple more years. I've just been so...

    Whelp... it finally happened to me

    First, I liked your vids of the person being caught for drugs and the cop chase. Second, I am evangelical about my support of dash cams and have been for years. They are a must have accessory for any car. A $50 jobby from amazon will be fine. The oldest one I have is a taotronics thing I got...

    How to manage older Hikvisions in modern browser? E.g. DS-2CD3332-I

    I have a few of these turret cams running now for years on end. One is chinese but I did run a firmware update many years back. Two of them are the US rebrand bought from LTS Inc (CMIP1132). They've been amazing, but since I have no DVR or PC software I manage them through a browser. I have two...

    A reason to add one more camera

    I've kicked a door in before. I can't believe that door's strength. Impressive for sure. I also agree this would have had me ordering an LPR camera next morning.
