    My Speeding Dectector Setup

    Well my “ordeal” was when I was young and it just so happened that it helped me respect the other people I shared the road with. It sucked but i didn’t lose anything. And if someone is being unsafe in a company vehicle then from the standpoint of the company I think it would be in their best...

    My Speeding Dectector Setup

    I didn’t have to taunt anyone involved in my ordeal. There was about 6 cops and a dispatcher that was involved in it. It almost cost me my job. A coworker of mine was the senior union steward who happened to know the chief and had a lot of pull in the community. When it was all said and done no...

    My Speeding Dectector Setup

    I was given a ticket many years ago by some city cops that was signed by a civilian. It was for reckless driving. It got thrown out but I was still issued a ticket and given a preliminary hearing solely based on some civilian not liking the way I was driving. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I’ve only done pc with bi. I like it. You can get a good deal on a used pc if you find the right one for the job. It’s good to be patient. I can’t comment on a nvr. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I went through the same thing when I first got into surveillance for my house. I looked at all the packaged systems and eventually decided to start with a couple of good cameras, poe switch and a dedicated pc off eBay with blu iris. Then added cameras as I could. Much happier with this route...

    100ft+ of HDMI for NVR

    Yeah I completely agree. I’m not a fan of couplers or jacks. My experience has been with a Mac, Apple TV, and a pc with a nvidia quadro gpu. Few different monitors and a cheap tv. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    100ft+ of HDMI for NVR

    I’ve got 50’ at 1080p 60hz and I’ve got 25’ at 1440p 75hz. I was leery about being able to run that on them at first but now I believe I could probably run a higher resolution or even achieve that at a longer distance. Not so sure about 100’ though. No more then decent cables are it would be...

    Camera restarts

    Alright I’m still having an issue with 1 camera doing a random restart every couple of days or so. I have it on a managed switch now that shows no errors at all but shows the link drop when the camera reboots. The log in the camera will show an event begin, reboot, abort, startup, save...

    How I choose a PoE from the list?

    I was just pointing out that you can get a really good deal looking for used/open box on amazon. Every thing I’ve got like that from amazon was always just an unused returned item it something that the box was damaged or missing. None of it’s ever seemed used. So if you look you can potentially...

    How I choose a PoE from the list?

    Look for the used open box deals on Amazon. I just got a $300 managed switch for $130. All it was missing was original box and the software cd. All the software was online so no big deal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    When you have a lot of cpu to spare

    So after optimizing for cpu and playing with it like that a while I have realized I have a lot of room. I’ve got the cpu down to as little as 6-8% with console closed and 12-16% when console is open and on screen. I can go forward or back at 256x speed for all feeds simultaneously and it hits...

    When would you not want full-time motion only recording?

    I like 15fps and a high bit rate. What ever you think you need double it and make sure you have room to add a second drive because you will want it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Random "No Signal" failures, nothing in log

    I’ve been having a similar problem with random drops and restarts on a couple of dahua and running bi5. I looked at the cameras logs themselves on the sd card and it logged the drops on the cameras sd card. So my issue isn’t a bi5 issue. I’ve been swapping ports and updating firmware on one...

    Not set to reboot. The firmware on this cam and the only other cam I’ve noticed this happening too is the same version. Is there a known bug in one of the versions? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    using multiple monitors to control BI ?

    Keep in mind the hdmi signal weakens with distance. I am using Twisted Veins brand of hdmi and can get 1440p at 75hz no problem. Not sure about 4K but I doubt 4K will work at anything 50’ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    using multiple monitors to control BI ?

    I have a graphics card that will run 3 monitors that can be duplicated even though it says it can only handle 2. I pulled hdmi cables and display port cables through the attic to the monitors. I have pulled usb cables also with hidden dongles for wireless keyboard. What I’ve found is usually I...

    FBI: Delivery drivers involved in Amazon theft ring

    I’m thinking this is really pretty rare. Only times that I’ve been brought 2 packages and left with only one was because the high value item required a signature. And the only times I didn’t receive my package that showed delivered was when they were left at the wrong address which is an honest...

    Camera restarts

    Lol well I have the 10 port din model. I’ve really been thinking of buying another switch anyway. I’ve got 2 open ports left and a couple more cams I want to install and will be running out of ports so might as well get a better switch to have on hand. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Camera restarts

    Yeah I think I’m going to watch for another day or 2 to make sure it’s just being isolated to those 2 cams. Then reverse some ports. I just have a feeling it’s going to be a switch issue being a cheap switch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Camera restarts

    What would cause a couple of cameras to randomly restart once or twice a day? I noticed today that a couple of cameras have done this at different times. Usually down for about one and a half minutes then shows back up. I have a hard time believing it is wiring or connection issues because there...
