    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    I know I'm polluting the thread, but here's a 4K camera that sees in the dark and doesn't need any wires pulled for it. Definitely fulfills the easy button! - Solar Camera Outdoor Wireless -4K Security Camera with Solar Panel -Face Recognition AI -Nighttime That's as Bright as Day -Captures...

    Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

    I want to document for all that the war will be over soon, so you can't come back later and say Trump doesn't say the truth and follow up on what he says. You'll all be eating crow soon ;) Clipped today from Breitbart.com, the unbiased oracle of unbiased truth.

    I have a situation that I would like any of you network gurus to consider

    I'd first take a really good look at the network connectors on the camera and the end of the 200 foot cable, for any moisture or corrosion.

    You're making me pull out the "make peace not war" picture.

    Humans are racing against time to find a new habitable planet

    We wouldn't need a new one if we'd quit wrecking this one.

    It looks like better ONVIF support is coming to UniFi Protect

    I thought 2k and HD were the same thing.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Daniel Rosenberg, producer of Spike Lee’s “Inside Man,” signed a $900,000 contract to produce pro Israel social media content propaganda targeting the U.S. public.

    I'm declining to answer that personally because it's just one part of a complex system that I don't fully know, much less understand, but I'll answer it generically. Some people think SS is a retirement system where what you pay in is held in Al Gore's "lockbox", to be paid back to you after...

    What's the definition of "cut"? One of the options floated for SS is to raise the retirement age, which should have been built into the system from day one, based on statistical life spans. The reason we're at this crisis is that past administrations and congresses have refused to do anything...

    Speaking as somebody who has cancer under treatment, I agree with this medicade work requirement, in principle. If I weren't retired, I see no good reason that I couldn't hold down a job. It's all on an individual basis, and that's where all the bureaucratic BS can come in and screw things up...

    Charmin’s Forever Roll On Sale!

    I saw this at Costco a couple of months ago. The roll came with a chrome plated stand holding it a couple feet off the floor. I thought it would make the ultimate cat toy, might take 30 minutes for one to unroll the whole thing. Clip from the video above:

    Upgrading 8 year old NVR and Cameras

    I'd chime in about how my 8 year old NVR is still going strong but I don't want to jinx myself. After a few years of no camera failures I had one last week with one of the 8-year-olds, somebody chewed through the camera pigtail. Fortunately I had a saved pigtail from a same model camera that...

    The Trump administration is NOT dismantling the deep-ocean observation system :winktongue:. There's a very simple and understandable explanation for what's going on: "....the foundation said the decision is not a cancellation, but a “descoping” aligned with a “wider strategy of a nimbler...

    New Cisco switch not powering Hik cams

    Are the two 3650CX switches the exact same model number? Some 3650CX switches have POE ports, and some don't.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    (My day to be Debbie Downer) That would be wonderful, but can it be done? My thinking is that in the big picture it's currently impossible. The schools have been infiltrated, taken over, compromised. The harmful Hollywood output is sucked up and supported financially by the population. Going...
