    Home insurance rate increases

    Yes, I have enough saved to build back and a good bit lever over. The bill was due on the 15th of this month and for the first time in the 49 years we have lived here I didn't pay it and not going to.

    Home insurance rate increases

    I have lived in my home for 49 years and never once filed a claim. My insurance went up big time this year as I just got my bill today. The premium has doubled in 6 years. I am not paying the bill.

    Is it worth the trouble using this

    Samsung SRD-1654D is the DVR I have which uses the Siamese cables and from what I read the IP Cameras won't work but I could be wrong. Its about 7 years old which for some is old but for me its fine for now. For now I just need two more cameras and at least 60 foot of cables that would work...

    Is it worth the trouble using this

    Spectrum 400 mbps down and 20 upload . They must have upped the speed and I didn't know it. I thought it was 200/10 but I guess I was upgraded and didn't know about it. I just checked using fast.com and indeed got 400 mbps. They won't cut me any slack as far as price because this shop was...

    Is it worth the trouble using this

    Thanks for the good info. I do know about port forwarding as I used it years ago to log into our computer at work using port 3389 on a windows xp pro machine. I know this port is no longer safe to use anymore even though we never got hacked back when we used it. That was in the early 2000's...

    Is it worth the trouble using this

    I have plenty of time to tinker as I have been retired over 10 years. I live close enough that I could be at the shop in less than 5 minutes. I do understand the crooks can steal my DVR/NVR and I already planned on where I was going to hide it. Right now if someone cut the internet cable...

    Is it worth the trouble using this

    Thanks, that is what I was thinking. I am retired but I have lots of things in this shop I don't want stolen. For the past four years I have been using the YI dome cameras but not very well pleased with them plus they don't work too good pointing outside. The alerts work sometimes and...

    Cobra DVR stuck System Initializing

    I had tried that earlier today and same thing. I was just hoping there was a flash that I could do to get it back working but it was wishful thinking lol If one of these systems was powered up using a monitor and hard drive disconnected would I get to a screen ? like in system setup in a PC ...

    Cobra DVR stuck System Initializing

    Thanks, I was thinking it was someone on the board. Probably couldn't find a replacement board for what I just could buy another system. I appreciate your reply.

    Cobra DVR stuck System Initializing

    I connected a monitor to my system and I get this ! System Initializing ! and it stays there. I have not checked this system in the last month or two. I hear hard driver spinning. I disconnected all cameras also and it still has this problem. This is a cheaper Cobra system I bought at...
