    Mail theft gang

    Hookup an electric fence charger to the mailbox and put it on a timer so it's only active from 10PM to 6AM. Unless they are wearing gloves their arm will be numb for an hour. Get one that's made for livestock...

    How do you have the z-wave door sensor hooked up? Is it wired all the way back to the house or is it wireless?

    Wireless Camera Pole Install

    Junction boxes are cheap, around $10 each and were included in the job quote so cost wasn't an issue. The height of the pole sticking out of the ground is 15 feet. Cameras are at 12 and 13 feet.

    Wireless Camera Pole Install

    Yes, inside the box is a POE switch and the power supply for the Ubiquiti Nano. Bird spikes is a good idea. I will add those this weekend. I decided to mount the box above the cameras since it's located next to a basketball court in a problem neighborhood park. 3 reasons, the cameras...

    Homeowner shoots thief rummaging through truck

    In many states it's perfectly legal to shoot someone at night on your property while they are commuting a crime. Armed or not. In my state, Texas, the bar is pretty low. Deadly force is lawful for something as simple as criminal mischief during the nighttime. You can even shoot to prevent...

    Hikvision NVR - Audio Recording

    I have a 16 channel NVR with 16 4MP turret cameras. None of the turrets have audio inputs. Can I use the Audio In at the back of the NVR to record audio and assign it to a channel number? If not, do I need to replace a camera with one that supports audio to record audio? Thanks!

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    LTS doesn't sell to end users so the only way to get one, for most people "not in the know", is to buy it from a re-seller.

    EmpireTecAndy fast DHL shipping!!

    I bought a Dahua Starlight which was in stock when I bought it. That's cool if he was on vacation and it took longer to ship. Just say so. What's not cool is making excuses and saying I should have asked for DHL shipping which is how I had it shipped to begin with. It shouldn't matter...

    EmpireTecAndy fast DHL shipping!!

    What are you talking about? DHL was selected as the shipper when the order was placed 5 days ago. The problem is not DHL, Empire still has not shipped the item. And that's ok, it still within Aliexpress's processing time but don't advertise here that you ship same day if in stock if...

    Idiots with a fire extinguisher

    This has become my problem property. People hop the fence several times a week. I'm waiting for someone to get skewered. I thought she was going to be the first.

    Idiots with a fire extinguisher

    This afternoon I get an email from one of my properties regarding some vandalism. They torched the fire extinguisher off in the women's restroom and emptied it in the pool. The guy then puts the pin back in and puts it back on the wall like no one would notice.

    Need Huisun Speed Dome 2MP Firmware

    I bought a Huisun Speed Dome about a year ago, some plans changed, and I just now got around to installing it. It's my second one, the first one died and it was a fantastic camera until that point. This one is buggy as hell. Although the camera I bought should have auto-tracking, it's...

    Can someone recommend a video card?

    I'm building a rig that will be dedicated to displaying surveillance cameras via IVMS and SmartPSS. Looking for a good video card that will support dual monitors and offload the video processing off the CPU. Currently my Core I7 is running at 80-90% looking at about 40 cameras.

    Hit and Run

    Last night a car plowed into the back of a pickup truck parked on the street and took off. It must have damaged the oil cooler as it left an oil trail to where it either broke down or where the girl parked it. Police easily found the vehicle parked on the street and were driving around the...
