    50 Cat6 runs outside, things to consider for a successful long-term install?

    UV rated cable if it is exposed to sunlight. Don’t let rain water enter the ends of the conduit from being turned up. Good idea to let conduit breath also to minimize condensation. If you bury the conduit it will fill with water and that will make it inside the cable if the cable isn’t rated for...

    Lightning strike by house

    Bigger chance of lightning strike then winning the lotto. If the land your house is built on has a lot of granite rock or high composition of metals in the soil then you will most likely get some lightning hits Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    BI5 playback: ghosting with H.264H, stuttering with H.265

    I’m interested in this also. I’ve noticed my playback isn’t of same quality as my live view. The playback is kind of hazy compared to live view. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Lightning strike by house

    If you do file a claim don’t mention lightning to them. The warranty most likely won’t cover anything above the joule rating of the suppressor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I understand and I know it can be a gamble. I have been lucky so far with all of my dealings on auction sites over the years. Most individuals want to insure the item you bought makes it to you in good condition from my experience. I can’t say as much for someone who really doesn’t care and is...

    WD Purple ?’s

    Also note that there are some people selling “refurbished” drives. And some those are actually people who are “turning in” a drive under warranty to Western Digital and putting the buyers name and address on the return once the buyer purchases it from the eBay seller. The buyer then will...

    WD Purple ?’s

    The seller doesn’t have anything else listed right now except for some $200 Nike’s. I will usually watch things I want on eBay for several days or weeks. I’ve always done really good on purchasing on eBay. But you have to pay attention also. For instance I was going to bid on a 12tb from...

    WD Purple ?’s

    I won an auction for a factory new 10tb from eBay the other day for $175. Received it promptly from seller. It was in the sealed package. Went on the western digital website and registered it. It’s in warranty until sept 2022. I was happy with that deal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    HP EliteDesk 800 G4 SFF i7 8700: eBay snag

    Well I didn’t have to do anything in the bios. The intel gpu has always been there just wasn’t being used. My nvidia card is a quadro k2000. All i did was go into blue iris and set it. Before I didn’t think it mattered being that I was using a graphics card. It definitely made a difference in my...

    Should i go with higher res on the expense of low light performance?

    I had a neighbor once whose dog kept shitting in my yard. I shoveled it all up until I had a bucket full. I then dumped it all on the porch in front of their front door. So in the mean time save all those butts. Once you figure out who all is flicking butts you can at least get the message...

    Should i go with higher res on the expense of low light performance?

    Have you approached the apartment manger or tried posting a bulletin? The offenders may not know that their smoking is affecting you. Also if it is only one type of cigarette chances are it’s only one person. Also it probably wouldn’t take long of just standing in the yard or setting in a...

    Camera hack painting

    If I was to do it again I would. I only painted 2 white ones at first. Since then I’ve started using the black turrets and they really blend in well enough that I don’t worry about painting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Max bit rate??

    The uplink on my poe switch is a 1000 t base. If I was doing like you are talking about I would have the poe switch plugged in to a small 5port gigabit switch along with the computer and nas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ancient Machead from the 52nd state

    Yeah, I looked and looked at gear and software. I had decided I didn’t want to run all my cameras on my mac and bog it down and buying another Mac just for that wasn’t really feasible. If I was just messing with a camera or 2 I probably would have tried using my Mac. I looked at a NVR and kind...

    Camera hack painting

    Looks good. I painted some of my starlights. But I used some of my leftover paint from my facia and soffits. Not exactly the right kind of paint but I wanted it to be an exact match. Turned out looking like shit once it started peeling lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Lol, I am a Mac and Apple guy. I love it! I also hate Windows and swore it off years ago. I now own a dell optiplex solely for blue iris. It’s all that it is used for and has been worth it for me to bring Windows into my house. It stays isolated from my other network so I don’t worry so much...

    Well I’ve put 4 of the cameras on 15fps/15iframe and 8192 max bitrate and set quality at the highest setting. I also adjusted some conditions for day and night. Major difference! They are staying maxed quite frequently. I’m using a ton of storage, like 3 times what I was. I also bought a 10TB WD...
