    Notice the Amazon strike?

    Definitely notice the lack of Amazon trucks on the roads. No Amazon trucks parking the wrong way, 8 feet from the curb, on a busy road. I do not miss them, although convenient, would not mind Amazon disappearing.

    Color 4k-x 6mm -- Half view out of focus/Blurry

    So ROI was off, trying turning it on and drawing on the street. Not much noticeable change. It's on now. Maybe a Z4E forced to color would be a better fit up there. Already have 2 of them in other locations in service running IR at night. A Z12E is on hand and going up there for LPR duty shortly.

    Color 4k-x 6mm -- Half view out of focus/Blurry

    What is or more importantly, where is “area of interest” setting? Upped the bitrate to max, 20480 - dropped the FPS to 10 Definitely better - maybe this is the wrong cam for this location

    Color 4k-x 6mm -- Half view out of focus/Blurry

    I thought so too but isn't the 4k-x a fixed focus distance? There are no motors in there to move focus. Distance to driveway edge is about 40-45 feet.

    Color 4k-x 6mm -- Half view out of focus/Blurry

    What's going on here? I know these are known to have focus issues but seems I have half a screen out of whack. Left side of view is much more focused than right side view. Look at the stone driveway, can see stone on left, blur on right. Is this a bad camera or typical view? The lens is clean...

    2024 EmpireTech Thanksgiving Day Sales& Black Friday &Christmas Sales- Winter Sales

    Looks like I’ve got a 6th place random cam winner. Never know what you’re gonna get till the box shows up. I have to say, usually I don’t win squat with this type of thing. Andy’s lotteries are a different story though. I’ve been through 4 lotteries now, only got the wittaj luck for one of...

    Best Dash Camera 2024

    At $86 each it would be cheaper to install 2 mini’s. My issue is I drive 2 different vehicles regularly with a 3rd on standby. Then there is my wife with her car. What about my sons? There are 6 vehicles registered and insured in my driveway right now. I know for sure that, even if it where...

    Best Dash Camera 2024

    Any thoughts on the A119 mini 2? On sale now for $86. I know it's a little older 2K vs 4K -- there's a lot of talk about chasing megapixels on this forum, doesn't the same apply here? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C5MVB7NX/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=APVAUZZOJUWDA

    Smart Electrical Panels, Yes?

    Not me. No smart panel. Dumb panel works just fine. I actually caught the smart meter installation guy while on my street. Power company sent letters saying they would be changing meters within 90 days. A year and a half later they show up. I declined the smart meter. They say I’ll have to...

    Turrets Mounted to Soffit

    The only real issue I see is the much larger hole you need to drill for the wiring. If you use a junction box you just need a hole large enough for the cat6 cable. Then terminate the cable once installed. All wiring will fit in junction box. No junction box and you have to stuff all the wiring...

    how easy is it to set up TailScale ?

    I’m running windows 11. I am currently away for work and the RDP into the BI computer is working just fine. I can be into my cams in seconds and stay connected on an iPad as long as needed. Some ptz controls are funky otherwise it seems to work as if sitting at home. Job site has terrible...

    how easy is it to set up TailScale ?

    Yes, both devices are connected. I can access thru Remote Desktop protocol. It’s not that bad besides, as I said before, running a windows desktop with an IOS phone. Haven’t played with it much on the iPad. I’m wondering if I should try and access a fire tablet running ui3 24/7/365. That would...

    how easy is it to set up TailScale ?

    This didn’t work either. Entered Tailscale IP address in remote, external access with port :81 at end hit ok, then shut down and restart BI. open brave on phone, enter ui3 address and session times out I have nothing else checked in the remote external access box

    how easy is it to set up TailScale ?

    My BI machine has a different IP address due to not assigning an IP on my router for a couple of reboots. That problem is solved. my test was only typing the IP address and the port :81 I guess I should try /ui3.htm version and see what happens tried again, both versions — at home, Wi-Fi...

    how easy is it to set up TailScale ?

    @concord I have tried having both my phone and my BI machine connected to Tailscale and just opening brave browser and entering UI3 address with the port also. This is with Wi-Fi off on the phone. Just goes to search results for the IP. Does not connect to UI3. I can do it thru RDP, and then...
