    I hear you. To be honest I hadn't analyzed the video that closely. But I would bet money the shooter won't do any jail time. We will see!

    Best setup to cover 4000 sq ft

    A lot of WiFi devices only work on the 2.4 GHZ band, so I have a separate name for that.

    Best setup to cover 4000 sq ft

    I'm using their Unifi U6 Pro access points, which support 2.4 GHZ and 5 GHZ. WiFi 6E access points weren't out yet when I bought my system last year.

    I am using the Ubiquiti Unifi Dream Machine router with 3 access points to get great coverage throughout the house, and also in the garage. Great system with awesome WIFI coverage.

    2nd Amendment thread

    You really never know how you would react if you were in that situation. The perp could have been faking being dead and returned fire. In Texas you have a right to use deadly force in that situation. I doubt any charges will be filed. If by chance they are, it's highly unlikely a jury will...

    VLAN & NICs & Switch "Sharing"

    I have a similar setup as you, from what you show in your diagram. Before recently switching to Blue Iris, I had been using Synology Surveillance Station on a Ubiquiti Unifi router and switch. I had already configured the Vlans on the Unifi router, so I left them in place when I switched to Blue...

    LED lightbulb "hacking" .. fixing and cooling

    I bought a new house a couple years ago and the home builder installed some off brand LED bulbs in all the fixtures. Within 90 days we had over a half dozen of them burn out. The home builder was still building new homes on our street, so I walked into one of them that was almost finished and...

    Working on Truck

    I've been an auto technician specializing in automatic transmission repair for over 40 years, and have been working at Ford dealerships since 1977. I don't regret my choice in careers, but your Dad gave you the same good advise I gave my son. Don't follow in my footsteps! lol!

    Looks like we all will need home generators.

    I hope for everyone's sake you are wrong, but I'm afraid you are correct. There are always copycats once they see something that is effective. Terrorism, mass shootings, flash mobs, etc..

    Money & Economics

    Yes, it does. I'm very close to retirement as well. It changes your perspective on things a bit! A safe, secure 3% beats the average stock market return this year for sure.

    Money & Economics

    While it seems nice making 3 percent or so on your money when the stock market is down, keep in mind you are still losing money when the inflation rate currently is over double that amount. So you are really in the hole 3% or so.

    Looking for advice on my install locations.

    I vote for option #4. Leave the 5442 by the door. That's the setup I have. I did have to enable WDR to account for all the backlight during the day when the door is open.
