I personally wouldn't do IP unless I could set it all up on its own switch/router completely airgapped from the "real" network and some old laptop or PC as the "monitor". I mean, used SOHO networking gear is so cheap... and even if you do find it is compromised after the fact, who cares? It cannot get out to the intardnet.Cerebus wrote: ↑Sun Feb 05, 2023 5:26 pm As far as security for IP CCTV cameras goes:
1) Use wired rather than wireless if you can. If have to go wireless put the cameras on their own SSID/VLAN, if your wifi access points don't support multiple isolated SSIDs/VLANs upgrade to one(s) that do.
2) Always, always, put cameras on their own dedicated VLAN or an isolated LAN of their own. Don't allow them Internet access and don't buy cameras that require internet access.
3) Put a firewall between them and the rest of your network and limit traffic to and from the cameras to what is only strictly necessary and nothing more.
All the above presupposes that you have networking kit that is up to the task of isolating/firewalling a subnet and that you're competent to use it to do that. If you don't have the hardware capabilities or expertise I'd suggest that you'd be better off with old fashioned analogue cameras and a dedicated CCTV PVR to wire them back to.
IP CCTV cameras are a potential security nightmare if not handled with due diligence and a proper understanding of how to mitigate the risks.
so i got the pos karaoke machine working.nixiefreqq wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 9:24 pm just got an urgent request from a buddy.
the karaoke machine at his favorite bar won't power up and he wants me to fix it.
seriously?
oh no! that time of day you cut west on 17 at fredericksburg to warrenton, then take 15 all the way to 81 near harrisburg.
I fix things for friends on the basis that whatever it is would otherwise be thrown away. Usually it's something simple, such as corroded battery contacts in a trail camera that stopped working, or bulging capacitors in the PSU of a DVD player. Sometimes it's interesting to find out what went wrong, and I have to explain why it can't be fixed, or can't be fixed safely, and they're better off buying a new one.nixiefreqq wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2023 12:42 pmso i got the pos karaoke machine working.nixiefreqq wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 9:24 pm just got an urgent request from a buddy.

probably a BIG mistake since now everyone who goes to that bar will try to talk me into fixing their crap.
where do i draw the line? coffee makers? microwave ovens? breast pumps?
yep.....once swmbo was in the cvs and the total came to $6.66. had to make the lady ring up some tic tac's to get her to stop freaking out.
Remember you need to check that the repaired device works properly, for its intended purpose!nixiefreqq wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2023 12:42 pm where do i draw the line? coffee makers? microwave ovens? breast pumps?
Naaahhhh... that's a model best tested by substitution... with manual and possibly oral manipulation.AVGresponding wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2023 6:29 pmRemember you need to check that the repaired device works properly, for its intended purpose!nixiefreqq wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2023 12:42 pm where do i draw the line? coffee makers? microwave ovens? breast pumps?
Look what I found when searching for your listings
had the same symptoms with our duffy last year. was in the basement working on a wonky SA and noticed he was in and out of the litter box multiple times with no result.25 CPS wrote: ↑Mon Feb 13, 2023 2:32 am Some good news on the test equipment front:
I picked an HP 6205B power supply up on the way home from work tonight for $20.
I have another 6205B that's branded HP Harrison. It's in the pictures of the 427A testing I was working on. I still haven't had a chance to take any pictures of the other stuff I picked up recently.
Otherwise, it continues to be not so great. The vandalism streak apparently continued and several of the boards in the gate at the end of the neighbour's back yard gate got kicked in. I don't know what's happened to this neighbourhood, why it's gone downhill so fast. I took tomorrow off to take my cat to the vet first thing tomorrow morning. He's resting with me on the couch right now and trying to act normally but he doesn't have much energy. He suddenly barely eating and drinking and not using his litter boxes. He's been in them, I can see where he's pawed at the litter, but he's left nothing in them. Hopefully he'll be alright.
