    EmpireTech 10th Anniversary (Summer+Prime Day)Sales

    Right there with you. Always need a camera when there's no sale, but then the sale, and I already have what I need. Sometimes I dream up new cam locations, just to take advantage of the sale, always under the radar of the WAF unit of course. She's not always happy when I acquire something new...

    Criminal spy camera inside Logitech mouse

    Do you think there is a firmware update for the camera in my Logitech mouse? The auto-tracking is a bit jerky. Anyone know where I can get a firmware update?

    Looking for advice on my install locations.

    I'm also with the consensus. Was going to use the X3, but after seeing the less than stellar night captures from all the testing here, I scrapped the idea. In my opinion, from experience with the 5231, 2mp cameras are great if you have good light. Otherwise, you need to supplement additional...

    Network security questions

    I know I'm going down a rabbit hole here, but the more I research things, the more questions I have. I did a netstat -a -n search and noticed a crap load of established connections which I have no idea what they are. Lots of addresses with port 443 (http?) and about a dozen port 80 addresses as...

    I tried but it doesn't connect. I'm sure it has to do with the incorrect port needed to access the NVR locally. I don't know the proper port for local access

    Yes, direct ethernet cable from laptop to NVR LAN port. And I wouldn't underestimate this guy. He's had years of hacking experience with his next-door neighbor and God knows who else. The fact is, he's been able to make changes to my cameras and even take 1 or 2 of them offline overnight...

    Network security questions

    Just in case I'm still having issues with intrusions after adding the router (I don't know this guy's level of skill on hacking), can I access the NVR via direct connection between computer and NVR? I know I can access the device GUIs in this manner via the NVR GUI, but I'm curious if it's...

    I presume UPnP should be disabled on the WAN side of the router?

    Is this PTZ camera the same as the PTZ5A4M-25X?

    Suspected Mail Thieves at 2 AM

    Have to ask, what cameras were featured in the clip? I imagine the sound on the PTZ was an external mic or dubbed from another camera?

    There's no point to doing so, it would be a wasted effort. Plus, his "creation" is still standing. I have a camera there in its original location for overview, but it needs to be aligned since I replaced it with a T54IR-AS-S3 2.8mm. It probably needs a junction box and moved further towards...

    Like I said in the first sentence, I removed the camera as it wasn't what I was looking for FOV. If his creation was working, my LPR west camera probably would have picked it up since it looks in that general direction. With all those IR LEDs, even at 1000/sec, I would have seen something

    Thanks. Downloaded and scanned the LAN. Seems all devices listed are accounted for.

    Network security questions

    Out of curiosity, I checked to see what wi-fi networks are available near my little corner. Most of them look unassuming and are showing as low power broadcast, but the one that has me concerned is the "Hidden Network" due to its signal strength. The neighbor next to me (JAE entries) barely puts...

    So, then it's best to follow the included instructions and connect to the modem for setup? I just can't shake the feeling that somehow the nut across the way is actively keeping track of all changes being made to the network in real time. Maybe I'm paranoid, but so far, he's been able to get in...

    Network security questions

    Moving on. I received the ASUS this morning. I would like to setup the router ahead of actually installing it so that it isn't vulnerable during the process. I imagine I can connect a cable from the laptop directly to one of the LAN ports of the router and perform the setup without connecting...

    I removed the camera from the cul-de-sac to see what the outcome would be (I was going to remove it anyway since this turret doesn't zoom in enough). He finally left his domicile after a week of being home 24/7. Any event, it gave me the chance to use the PTZ (albeit from the NVR interface) to...

    Network security questions

    Ok, what am I missing here? All the approved modems for DSL are combo modem/routers. The BGW210-700 is the same unit I have here already. I spent the last hour viewing ATT compatible modems and every one was a Wi-Fi gateway modem/router combo

    Here's the other thing, how would I know which modem would work for ATT where I live? And don't say call them, because every time I had to call them; I end up talking to someone in a third world country who can only recite answers from a card - absolutely no help

    They don't offer a modem only here and finding one that may or may not work is just too much to do atm. Like I said, when I am overwhelmed, I tend to walk away from it and procrastinate finishing the process. Life is too short to get aggravated spending all my time with networks and cameras. Not...
