Make your own, or paint it? They do make socks/covers for some cameras, but you might be better off just painting a sock and fitting it yourself. That's how I'd tackle it. Not sure I'd wanna put camo tape on it, but it's an option

Umm, this sounds awesome! I just need to buy a few extra mags and a pouch, lol

Trying to be realistic in things I can build or buy Smith and Wesson revolver in 357. Love wood handles on these and nickel looks even better for the barrel, but I feel like this would suit me better I really like the idea of the MDT LSS chassis, and the Mossberg MVP LC 308 would do the...

That's what I am using now. I created the schedule/profiles to cut down on the amount of lights from passing cars tripping the motion settings. It has done a better job of that. What I need is either a better front door light that illuminates more so I can force color on at night, or maybe a...

This happened Saturday night. I obviously need to add more IR lights or just more lights out front. None of my other 2 front-facing cameras caught this, I'm assuming because it was so fast and because when it's dark, it's harder to trip the contrast part of the zones. Zones have been working...

I went w/ this Netgear POE switch, I've been happy w/ it so far. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MRO4M73/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They have a few options, depending on how many cameras you need powered My Blue Iris and camera setup has been running so flawlessly, I...

Nope, I've been on a few more times since and haven't seen it. Definitely weird

Damn, that's saying something :eek: The Dahua/Hikvision probably isn't a bad idea. Good blend of quality and affordability. NYG should have a couple models to suggest looking at

Those 3 cams can't be worse than the China specials I installed!

Happened a few times. I was trying to post a picture in a thread or I was trying to post a link, it might have been the thread where someone was looking for a seat safe or something. I was trying to url/html link in a post I started on the same subject months ago. Kept trying to preview my...

Buy a spare parts kit, or assemble in a clean/white room so that you can easily spot the contrast in color while searching for said spring

lol, it works for everything but your tricky program o_O What kinda shit you running here? :ROFL: I'll have to backup my router settings most likely and try the reset. It wasn't hard to set those ports up, just time consuming, lol. I guess I don't need to do text alerts, I won't wake up from...

Thanks for that tip. For the time being, since I'm only recording MD events, I'm definitely dumping the HD out of that NVR, I'll just use that to watch now. How's the app work, do you like it, do you recommend it? If I setup text alerts, is it going to direct me to look in the app, or should I...

Hell yeah, I kept that shit! I mean, I couldn't get the big hard drive for the midget porn, but I'm doing well enough for at least a TB of space now. Brad Williams, eat your heart out.

Yup, it'll only get better as I tweak it. I'll have to work the nighttime zones a little, we'll see when we get more traffic. I'll have to configure texts to my phone during certain hours if I am confident it's not gonna send me 22 texts overnight. I may mess with the idea of running night vs...

I gotta say, big thanks to @NYGuns here, homie helped me out big time on Friday night getting this thing all hooked up. Went out of his way to try some other shit too, which we're still working on. Thanks a lot, bro! I already love this Blue Iris software. I may just end up stealing my hd from...

Man, that's pretty cool, best of luck to ya! It's a big commitment. I feel like I have my hands full running a neighborhood association, so good on you for looking at what you're already doing and taking the next step. When does the internet scrubbing begin? Is this site gonna turn into one big...

It was a shot at myself because I had such a long scope thread, but after going through it, I can give some advice now

I live in Rochester too, unfortunately. Welcome to the site, hope you find what you're looking for!

Looks can be deceiving, we're all dicks. Last part still stands, but there's a lot of good info here. There's always some ding dong asking about scopes for the 20th time, or trying to figure out what exactly is legal under the SAFE Act, or what to do with that spring that just flew across the...

I'm gonna go for it after dinner. Gonna grab a beer and watch you work. I'll hit you up in a bit.

This video I really liked because I enjoyed how he explained everything from start to finish. That was a good video. I like the two Swedes as well, I've watched some good stuff from them

Fair enough. Do I have to wait to get the BI, or can I still get it and set it up?

1TB WD Blue drive, the cameras technically run to a POE switch, which then runs to the NVR. I'm not concerned about the size of the drive or the type - just yet. I only want to record MD events, which seems to stretch the drive out at least a month now. I'm a lot better about checking the tapes...

So what about the HD I have in the NVR now?

I have 3 installed, want to add a 4th. They're 3MP (apparently), 1920x1080. I'm running everything on a new gaming pc I just built, which I do everything on currently: Intel i5-4670k (overclocked a bit) 16GB G.Skill DDR3 MSI Seahawk 1070 480GB SSD EVGA 650w psu water cooled If I can use it...

Maybe I am just wondering if I can use Blue Iris on my PC now and get better functionality than I am from the Amcrest software. I'm reading up on it now if anyone wants to chime in.

I'm happy with my phone integration and ability to check in whenever, I put a 3rd monitor on my computer to always keep it open at home so I can watch when I am nearby, I just wanna cut down on the false MD events. Snow, wind, and animals are the biggest issue. They trigger it too much and that...

Rear Driveway/Garage: Red - Cars are usually parked in this area Blue - Usually tree branches moving in these areas Yellow - Only if someone is there for an extended period Green - Only if someone happens to linger or move through those, not critters or leaves though Driveway from back of...

Overall I'm happy with my setup, but I want to know if I can do more with it. I'm having trouble configuring the sensitivity, threshold, and anti-dither. My basic understanding of sensitivity and threshold is that sensitivity is how easy the camera is to trigger a motion detect event, and...

That's kinda how I feel w/ my stuff. None of mine except my hunting rifle are going to be put through any real work, the accuracy doesn't need to be great. I usually go w/ things I've read about or have heard about. People always made me think Bushnell was garbage, but I have no problem putting...

Nice choice, you'll be happy w/ it. I should have gone 6-18 on mine. 4-12 is nice, but I'm rarely at 4, I'm usually around 6, 8, or 10. I think the deer I shot on Thanksgiving I was all the way at 12. I could use the lower end of the scale for a range like this for hunting, and then the 12-18...

First "real" knife I bought years ago was a Recon 1. What a beast of a knife. I let a friend sharpen it on his fancy knife sharpener because the edge finally went bye-bye after so many years, and it was nice to cut stuff w/ it again. It's a well-built knife. I still buy other knives, but I'll...

A Call to the Muslims of the World | Center for Inquiry If someone wants a good read, check this out. He seems to be calling out the Quran for what it literally is, and clarifies what "good" Muslims or Islamic practicing folks should be saying or doing. He seems to admit that it's some heinous...

I put a Nikon P308 on my hunting rifle and had the same needs as you - wanna shoot over 100y on occasion, close wooded area for deer hunting, budget-minded, easy to zero and maintain. Looks like they rebranded it to P Tactical, but it's the same scope. Looks like they added more direction on...

Not the releases, just the slides it looks like to me. The second picture is clearer, I can make out the writing better.

Shit, I kinda like this. Like an M1/M14 in a way, which I've wanted to build. Do something like this or deal w/ a mag button block/stop so you can have your features (except the removable mag) and get some BF10's and get good at loading that way.

They turned my name over to the government? Oh noes! Oh wait, didn't they already have all that shit once I became a breathing member of this planet? I think @NirvanaFan and I used their food when we went to Colorado. I didn't find it to be too bad, for what it was. Some were better than...

I'd say they were home. They made a home in NZ and were fine there for years until some shithead decided to make them unsafe. I don't think they're any safer in a Muslim country that could have more extremist activity within, where they might be killed just because they're not saying "Death to...

Yup, agreed. I don't like to say that it's going to happen again, but it will. You reap what you sow. I'm not saying they deserve whatever happens because that's shitty to say and think, but I don't see how their gov't can pull this move and keep everyone safe.

I didn't actively seek out the video but it was on a site I frequent. I thought it was the first few seconds or whatever that was on FB Live until FB turned it off. I then sat and watched in stunned silence the whole rest of the video. Two things struck me quickly - the utter calm the guy was in...

I can't tell if what I wrote was unread or ignored because it doesn't go with the majority here. Whatever, I tried :idk:

Ich verstehe nicht was du meinst

As long as they're posted, that's all I care about

I knew this discussion was going to come up and I am not posting to agree or disagree with any of your views on abortion. Do what you want, but that's not what this post is about. This law is not about killing babies right up to their due date. MadScientist posted two important lines here and...

Facts vs emotions - what I think of every time I see someone share a "full-term abortion/infanticide is now legal as of 12:01 am" post. You let someone's meme guide you when you probably should have googled it first. More than half the people raging and butthurt about that have no idea what it...

I absolutely love mine 100%. I got this as a Father's Day gift to myself, it is everything I wanted in a gun since I got my Shield. Grips, sight, trigger pull, etc. It shoots really smooth too. The weight of it offsets almost any kick from the 230gr rounds I'm putting through it. Glad I got this...

:wave::wave: Morning! Hope you like it here
