Not entirely sure, as you may know, speedo stops counting at 299kph and until yet I hadn't used additionally a GPS to proove the real top speed. But I admit that the enormous accerelation surprises me every time again. The Lizard wasn't slow at all situations and rans 312kph but this is something else.

Amcrest 4k PoE cam. I already have one tied into Synology's Surveillance Station. The camera and the software work great together. My Synology NAS came with two licenses for Surveillance Station, so this will be the second. I may spring for more licenses in the future as this cam and that software beat the snot out of HomeKit Secure Video (HKSV) or Amcrest's own NVR software.

May you never wind up being subpoenaed to be interviewed by the DA, testify before a Grand Jury, and again in the subsequent criminal trial!
The Synology probably can't handle more than 2-3 cameras because of disk/network throughput from my own experience. The one thing that Amcrest's stuff has going for it is that it uses superior H.265 compression when saving to an Amcrest NVR, whereas it falls back to the more-bloated H.264 when talking to other company's devices. It can store way more parallel channels of video in less disk space and using less total bandwidth. Even though the UI sucks the chrome off of a trailer hitch ball and doesn't integrate into HomeKit, the Amcrest NVR does a great job at capturing video for when the police come knocking..... Quote:

As far as I know, Amcrest makes their own. But I'm no expert. I saw a YouTube where a cyber guy explained the idiocy of the NDAA and SEA the way they were written. They ban U.S. gov't entities from using cameras produced by Hikvision or Duhua. But those companies sell their equipment to dozens of other companies to be rebranded, so you could be buying from Company A and still have a banned Hikvision camera. He lists the Hikvision OEM rebrands at 3:11 in this video. I don't see Amcrest listed.

The problem with doing that is that the NVR does not route for the cameras, so you cannot talk directly to them or use any of their built-in features like email alerts and programmed image uploads when plugged into the NVR's PoE ports.....

Right. It's essentially an air-gapped system, so you'd need a monitor on the NVR or some fancy routing setup. Or does the NVR not act like a switch where you can set up routing through it? I suppose you could put the entire NVR system on its own vlan.

I have our NVR hooked up to the big screen TV via an HDMI input, but only really use it when I'm watching TV and hear something unusual outside. Amcrest's NVR's all only support USB mice for their sole input, and don't include the HID code to operate a USB keyboard. The MacOS SmartPSS app does an OK job for looking at videos and stuff, although it seems to be written in Java and has more than its share of buggy quirks. My DW uses the Amcrest iOS app on her phone to check in on OCD psycho dog when I'm not home, and I have never heard her complain about problems using it other than latency when re-pointing a camera using PTZ.....

Did you buy the cameras already re-flashed or do it yourself? I tried a quick search for custom FW but only found people DIY'ing and posting questions on forums.

FML my 40 year old HVAC system took a dump a few days ago, right before one of the worst heat waves in Socal I can remember. It's easily 95 degrees in my house.
First purchase was a new furnace, blower, coils and condenser/heat pump. $14k. Of course, it takes a few days to get the parts and install, so in the meantime I got one of these portable AC puppies for my home office because my head started to hurt from the heat and zoom calls were becoming awkward with my shirt off:

Been waffling between getting one of these for the garage or going with a mini-split. I need the cooling more than the heating, so a mini-split is a bit of overkill. But the costs aren't that far apart. And the mini-split doesn't take up floor space.
