Re: [Off-Topic] General conversation for the BHN users

I slaved through the backyard mow session think I'll put off front until this evening. One thing I did notice...grass is finally growing slower....a good sign this weekly ritual will become bi-weekly soon enough

Will have to wait another week or two Gary to write it off, with the weather we're expected to have this week...

Yup I know....almost had to break out the boat a bit ago...now that was a serious rain storm and more headed this way. I think we ended up with at least 1.5 inches from that short little storm alone.

So I was thinking of putting some cameras in to supplement my BHN alarm cameras.

Is this what you used Gary?

Also, did you have these on a dedicated wireless router (so as not to take up too much bandwidth on your "core wireless" router???

Lastly what did you use to follow and record?

Thanks in advance!

well its 7:40 AM i was up all night, i could not sleep. I'm drinking coffee and don't know what to do today.....

That camera however does not have a cut filter....you may want to hit amazon and look for 8910 which does.

Gary I ordered this 2-way splitter from Monster cable tell me if the specs are any good.

Send it back....why on earth would you buy that from Monster....no seriously why....

Cause I'm a geek and want the best performance, ok maybe i'm a sucker for all the positive reviews on it lol
Oh yea Gary I been meaning to ask you, when my area eventually gets Lightning 90
will the Lightning 60 folks see the extra bonded channels or just the Lightning 90 folks will get the extra bonded channels?

I had no idea what a cut filter was. I googled it and learned. Thanks much!

Also, did you have these on a dedicated wireless router (so as not to take up too much bandwidth on your "core wireless" router???

Nope...my router can handle more TCP connections than god...not at all worried about all the cameras impacting it and have never noticed so much as a blip in performance.

lol... I have a pretty good router too, so I think it will be ok as well, but just planning as best I can.

Thanks.

These cameras will not push that much data through your router honestly....very low impact unless you have a ton of them.

How many did you have if you don't mind me asking. I was thinking MAYBE 4 tops. Not sure.

10 now....just added two more.

I pitty the poor soul who tries to break in....he won't get past the cameras but if he does in some lapse of something the alarm will take care of the rest....avg response time here is very fast.

WOW dude - that is a LOT of cameras (and a lot of money). I assume since you said they could be outside under cover (like under an eve I assume) that you had some outside too.

If you had some of these outside, how old is your oldest one??? Wondering how it survived the elements (even protected).

Just another day here drinking my coffee its 11:46 AM I'm just waiting for General Hospital to start. What is everyone else doing today?

Work and then video games when I get home. Yay!

I'm counting the days until The Walking Dead starts back up.

I am counting the days for 24 to come back on (months unfortunately )

Cant wait for The Walking Dead. Getting close. At least Breaking Bad has been good.

hehehehe

Hey Gary did/do you have any of these cameras mounted outside your home. You mentioned "protected area" and I wondered if under the eve close to my house is protected enough.

Yes 3 of them are the indoor used outdoor in areas where rain exposure is not likely unless rain can flow upward from the ground. I mounted them upside down with electronics package at the highest point totally out of exposure and then flipped the orientation in the video settings. Had them in the elements for quite some time no problems. Other areas I forked over the extra cash for the weatherproof models with POE but beware...these weatherpoof units are buggy...it took me 4 to get 1 that finally worked...thank you Amazon!

The weatherproof units also suffer from a sometimes nasty firmware bug yet to be fixed that can cause the video to become bright/dim over and over again if the camera is placed in just the right lighting conditions at the right moment. So you may have to play a little.
