    Please recommend me a WiFi PTZ camera with good motion detect email and remote access

    Re: Please recommend me a WiFi PTZ camera with good motion detect email and remote ac I have to agree with nayr here. Wifi cameras are rarely a good idea unless some sort of situation calls for it. In your case, you're talking about upgrading cameras. Upgraded cameras beyond what you have would...

    Win 10 PC: no disk found on reboot...sometimes

    That's certainly an option, yes. I guess it depends on your angle and intended use. Speaking from a homeowner standpoint (i.e., exact opposite of security manager @ a large hotel, casino, or something like that), I don't hold my video footage to that much value to warrant the extra cost involved...

    Win 10 PC: no disk found on reboot...sometimes

    I'd be very skeptical of the accessible port being the reason that your hard drive tanked. Hard drives used in CCTV applications, by nature alone, tend to see a higher load of activity than any other computer. They are literally writing around the clock in some capacity, whereas a drive in a...

    Best way to save video for police --LaView (Hikvision)

    Handing over footage wherever possible can certainly help. A year ago I realized something in my car was "off" when I went to leave for work. Back feeds showed two guys going through our cars at night. In total they went through around 100 unlocked cars that night. Out of everybody that called...

    Win 10 PC: no disk found on reboot...sometimes

    Whenever that happens I boot into an Ubuntu LiveUSB flash drive. This launches the computer to boot into a Linux environment. From there I open up the applications dash and type in "Disks". The disk utility will show up. If you highlight your drive it'll read the SMART data on your HDD. You can...

    Talk me into this Costco system.

    I can't lie, I was kind of hoping I'd get your 2c fenderman. Thanks for the reaffirmation. :)

    Talk me into this Costco system.

    Thanks for your insight. I strongly feel that way too. I just wanted to hear it from folks that are certainly more "pro" than I am in this field to tell me "yeah, you're not a biased tech guy, that really is the better way to go despite it running a bit more expensive."

    Talk me into this Costco system.

    ...or not. I'm kind of looking for the 2c of folks who may have used this system as well as those out there who are more experienced with CCTV stuff than I am (which I have no doubt is a large portion of this forum's userbase). My in laws want cameras. I have cameras at my house. They asked me...

    Differences to be aware of with rebranded cameras?

    We seem to have a lot in common, nayr. I too do some video work on the side. Nothing elaborate, but I know what I want to do when I get into a project. I've done a few videos promoting a local start-up bicycle shop that evolved into more than I originally anticipated (which is nice given I dig...
