    EmpireTech NV41AI-8P-4KH or NVR8CH-AI

    Security baseline 2.3 appears to be a Microsoft thing - but this contains embedded Linux. I'm guessing it's not functional with the included firmware.

    EmpireTech NV41AI-8P-4KH or NVR8CH-AI

    Still, it would be good to know what it is, e.g. early generation i3, mid-generation i5, etc. It seems silly to hide the specs with a meaningless marketing term.

    Notice the Amazon strike?

    Amazon would not exist, at least not as a major corporation, were it not for a big business-favoring corporate-welfare tax code (Federal) and short-sighted (some corrupt) State & City folks selling-out the future with long-term tax breaks for Amazon in return for vote-buying jobs. I can't find...

    Drone swarms in the northeast?

    Someone's playing with led's on a big drone - messing with those watching who can only see the lights.

    Drone swarms in the northeast?

    A spy satellite could peek in your window and ID a fly on a piece of toast decades ago - what mega-corporations and the military have is light years ahead of what's on the consumer and small-corporation market today.

    Drone swarms in the northeast?

    They're not alien - there's no such thing. It's US, an enemy, or some consortium of mega-wealthy corporations flexing muscle. If our military is so incompetent and ill-equipped that it can't take down a massive spy balloon wandering across the country from top secret site to top secret site -...

    Drone swarms in the northeast?

    Elon Musk has observed that it's about impossible to imagine the $36 trillion dollars of debt that has been foisted on America's children and grandchildren by careless and corrupt (often elderly) politicians. It seems equally 'almost impossible' to imagine the layers of lies that this regime...

    Drone swarms in the northeast?

    Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.)- is tied to this untrustworthy regime - he's to be expected to deliver their propaganda. Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) - isn't tied to this regime - he's more likely to be honest with us (though the China thing is just his hunch).

    Drone swarms in the northeast?

    So, mis-leaders across the West allow 100's of thousands of military-age males (from known-terrorist and anti-West countries) to enter their countries. They don't vette them nor do they keep track of them. Bio-weapons and radioactive dirty-bomb materials suddenly go-missing (some others were...

    Drone swarms in the northeast?

    The TACAMO Recapitalization Program (E-130J, formerly E-XX) will replace the aging E-6B Mercury and transition the nation’s airborne strategic NC3 capability between aircraft with no break in operational coverage. The E-6B has been in service for more than three decades and continues to meet...

    Solar charged battery for Reolink RLC-510A Wireless Camera

    It's unclear how much the actual draw may be. I guess I'll just set it up and monitor for voltage drop - then increase the capacity of the battery and/or panel(s) as indicated. Thanks.

    Wifi PTZ that doesn't connect through an app

    Could three cameras be connected to the one wireless bridge (about 200' from the house) and have adequate throughput? (Let's postulate that I'm connecting two Reolink RLC-510WA - wireless but not strong enough, and one RLC-510A.)

    What camera model(s) best for day & night sky viewing?

    I'd like to mount cameras on a short tower next to the house to be used to view objects in space, as well as aircraft and larger birds. I'm guessing I'd need 3 cameras if I want 360 degree coverage. They need to manage the bright sun well and handle the challenges of the night sky. I'd want to...

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    Does the Ubiquiti system require a constant Internet connection to work or can it be set up and operated locally without any Internet connection?

    Is ZoneMinder still being actively developed?

    Thanks. I really should move this part of the thread to a new post. I'm not looking at ZoneMinder any more but, rather, a whole different method. EDIT: There is no "Other" category where I can move this, so, restated some here ... I have a use case where I need multiple qutebrowser windows...

    Ha, silly me, why didn't I think of an internal web page? That's great, thanks! (I have a variety of cameras, a Hikvision, some Reolinks, some Cobra's (from a cheap Harbor Freight system, and others.)

    Is ZoneMinder still being actively developed?

    I'm wondering about a script to load multiple instances of the low-resource qutebrowser on my large monitor - each one linked to a specific camera URL string. I'd also need a way to capture and send alerts to OpenHAB.

    Lorex started taking pre orders for new 4K doorbell B862AJDB

    Is the porch picture 2k on the left and 4k on the right, or the opposite, please? Or, is it just the 4k with and without the light kicking in from motion activation?) Thanks!
