    Ideas for the best way to do this

    The trees between 1 and 2 are an issue and the main reason I decided to just put the cameras at 2 on moms network instead of mine. Houses 2, 3 and 4 all have good line of sight with each other.

    Ideas for the best way to do this

    Hey guys, I'm looking for some ideas here. Originally I was wanting to just use a nanostation to shoot from house 1 to house 2 (My house to my old house) to get all cameras on the same network, but I ended up getting my mom some new IP cameras to replace her aging camera system, so I'm thinking...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Fun drinking game, take a shot every time the guy in blue says "actually". I'm just kidding. Don't. You'll die.

    I need your expertise

    Well I got my dsl today. I also got a call saying I'm going to have to be out of state to report for work next week, so I have to leave Friday morning and have a lot to do to get ready. That won't give me time to get something that will let me use both internet providers, so I'm going to just...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Or the left hates because their neurons are misfiring. Liberalism could very well be some type of mental defect. Or, many of them grew up in the "you're all special and everyone gets a trophy" age, where they've gotten used to getting anything they want and think that should be how life works...

    ----------------------------------------------- I don't believe so. My plan has been to allow the NVR to do the recording and access via P2P connection as needed. But that was because my current ISP closes all ports unless you pay an extra $35 a month for a static IP, in which case all ports are...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Looking at this chart, While it's easy to see the Americas has the highest infection rate, it's also interesting to me to see that the spikes and drops seem to follow the exact same pattern regardless of continent. Until you get down to Africa, the number of infected directly correlates to the...

    Lol I live in Oklahoma dimwit: take a look at our politicians vs my political stance and decide for yourself if I've done my part to elect the candidates that best reflect my politics. The candidates don't line up with my views perfectly by any means, and I get plenty mad at them, but they are...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    One of the videos you posted shows that while some people are born followers and become demoncrats, or whatever their countries version of a demoncrat is, others all across this globe would rather die on their own terms than live under someone elses. Another video straight up tells you that even...

    I need your expertise

    This isn't really about my camera setup, but it is about networking in a way. Either tomorrow or Tuesday the phone company is supposed to come and get me hooked up to VDSL. I'm currently using a WISP provider that I've been with for the last 17 years, and while obviously speeds have improved...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Lol. The article is written like it's all the Republicans and Trumps fault. The last time I checked, all financial bills must originate in the house. What party controls the house again? The blame game is getting old. Both parties pass crap bills that benefit those that shouldn't benefit...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Personally I'd be quick to think Trump would only lose because of election fraud on a massive scale, but I live in Oklahoma, probably the reddest state in the nation. Obviously I'm going to see way more trump supporters than I'll see demoncrats. My time spent in other states is with those tied...

    By the way, I think many people may give Trump a pass because there's a difference between mocking a reporter with a disability, and mocking a reporter because of their disability. Trump mocks a lot of reporters. Most of whom aren't disabled. People know the media is biased, they know it's been...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    I'm not sure how "many of you" there are, but at least going off my local area, you definitely aren't the majority. I stopped at a place set up in a parking lot the other day that was selling Trump flags to buy a couple, and while I was there a truck honked his horn while driving by and giving a...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    In the tiny town I live in, there were 2 kids that tested postive for Covid. Now I'm being told they are testing negative, they were both false positives but they still count as a covid case. One family had a family member die after a struggle with cancer. The cause of death on his death...

    Internet Speed Tests

    I'm in far north central Oklahoma. The phone company was actually bought or merged with or something with a company based out of Kansas, called KanOkla Networks. They have my town colored as fiber on their map, but they are DSL only here. When I talked to them they said they are supposed to be...

    Internet Speed Tests

    I live in a small town of about 300 people. I think there's less than 200 houses. We don't even have cable here. It's either the fixed wireless, that I've used for about 17 years, the local telco or satellite. I've always stayed away from the telephone company because they are nosy, but I have...

    Internet Speed Tests

    It's a fixed wireless provider called Chisholm broadband. It's been pretty unreliable lately so I'm switching to the local phone company next week. They say I should be able to get 50Mb and fiber is supposedly in the works at some point

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Pro choice only applies to the left when you believe the same thing as them. Their tolerance only extends to fitting in. If you fall outside of the lines they have drawn they will chew you up and spit you out with venom and hatred. Their complete intolerance of anything outside of what they deem...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    He's probably realizing that Covid isn't hurting Trumps approval like they hoped, Biden is brain damaged and unable to string together a coherent sentence, and Trump is going to win again. Now he's just lashing out anywhere he can to try to get his little feelings back to a warm and fuzzy state.

    Omg, poor Canada. According to that video, Canada lost 6 people to Covid-19. Isn't that like, half the population there?

    New 4K PTZ 20X Optical Zoom from Alptop - Surprisingly good camera at $329

    Man, I don't know much about cameras still but just going off that photo, my slightly higher priced $380 4MP Amcrest PTZ blows that "4K" camera out of the water.

    Dang, and I was ecstatic to get this just a couple of short weeks ago. It's the best I can get here and only cost me 100 bucks a month

    While I wouldn't go and throw a fit in the store, I can't say I blame these people. The first guy, you only catch part of it. How much did they antagonize him and berate him before getting a reaction they could post online? I've seen those tactics before first hand when I was welding on the...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Do some people that don't die not end up with lasting health problems resulting from other illnesses? Even the flu? For instance, I actually know people that have lifelong implications resulting from Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, but they still go outside, and generally do not...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    I'm just curious, does anyone actually think that they won't, at some point, get Covid? I mean it's out there, masks may or may not slow it down, but they won't stop it. This stuff was found alive and well on surfaces of a cruise ship 17 days after it had been evacuated. Obviously masks won't...

    Blue Iris and an Amcrest DVR at the same time

    For me, the camera number doesn't seem to make a difference. I still change it to the cam I want, but if I only change that it will only use the first camera. As long as I change the channel number in the path, it populates correctly

    I don't care what ya'll say....

    I've been extremely fortunate with lightning, especially considering the storms Oklahoma gets. My house is old. I've replaced most of the 2 prong outlets with ones that have a ground, so I can, you know, plug stuff in, but none of my electrical is grounded. Everytime I plug something in I wonder...

    Luckily I live in a cheap area. I have 4 houses, 3 are on my tear down list when I get to it. My old house cost me 10 grand, eventually when it's torn down those lots will intersect with my other stuff. The house behind me is actually a 4 bed, 1 bath house in good shape. I paid 8 grand for it...

    Lol the dog is only ever concerned with when I'm gonna throw a ball. I gave some thought to the uniquiti stations but I still wanted conduit to the other cameras and it would almost kill me to set up a wireless link for that short of a distance when I have cable I can run. The other 2 houses on...
