Home Depot Surveillance Cameras

[Folding] Purchased at Home Depot for 20 bux. Was intrigued by the assisted opening. It’s not really ‘spring assisted’ like a lot of knifes claim to be. It’s something else entirely, but whatever it is, this thing is fast. Blink of an eye fast. Not a fan of nylon grips, but dang it man this knife is quick. Blade locks open to which is another feature I really like. At this price point you cannot lose. If they gave you the option to upload a video, lots of folks would be surprised.

[1-1/8", 25 mm] I had to use a thiner pole then it's made to be used with, and it worked perfectly. I combined 2 10ft pipes from Home Depot and hung a 4x6 bounce off a 3 story drop. It was the moonlight effect I always wanted!!!

[E26] The main strength of these bulbs is that you get 500 watt power that you can plug into a conventional socket. No heavy betweenie, no Home Depot stadium lights. A lot of low budget filmmakers wonder where to go after you've graduated from the Home Depot light set. This is your next step up before professional level lighting.Warning, these are incredibly hot bulbs. They do not have a long life. Also DO NOT move the light while it is on or it will burn out.The $ each your paying is so that you don't have to buy a $ professional kit. It is what it is.

[100 MHz] I had to run a length around my home office from a surveillance nvr to the wi-fi both were on separate desks. I dropped a hammer that I was using to attach fasteners right onto one of the cat5 connectors and to my surprise it did not get damaged. Then when fitting the metal baseboard heat enclosure over it the sharp edge squeezed down hard enough to make a depression in the cable, and again to my surprise, the system worked fine when it was up and running. So my clumsiness has proven that this cable is very strong!It is definitely worth the very low price.

[Wi-Fi] Ubiquiti makes the best home power user networking gear and surveillance equipment! Literally plugin and adopt and you are good to go. Couldn’t be happier with their products.

[50 Devices] There are lots of free applications for IP Cameras, but if you're serious about IP Surveillance you can't do better than Axis Camera Station, and the best way to acquire the licenses is from B&H.

[10 Gb/s ] I wanted to set up some surveillance cameras that required PoE, and this switch required little technical knowledge and worked right away!

[Clamp] On a whim, I thought I'd try using this to hold my tablets on my desk while working and watching news and surveillance cameras. Put on mini, adjustable tripods which allows me to add more devices on already cluttered desktop without adding too much footprint.

[1 x 100 W] We have purchased two of these so far to use primarily as NVRs for a large number of IP cameras on a school campus. Licensing costs aside, Synology Surveillance Station does a really nice job making it easy to set up and scale with the number of cameras you have. We linked two together, making one the primary and the other a secondary target for recordings. Surveillance Station records direct-to-disk, and does a decent job of adjusting camera settings directly using ONVIF. We have about 50+ cameras running at resolutions from 1280x720 up to 2560x1600, some PTZ, some ceiling-mount fisheyes, mostly wide angle fixed, and everything works pretty well. We were even able to use the manual camera configuration to use some uncommon double-lens cameras. With about 26 cameras assigned to each RS422+, we see about 20-25% CPU on each on average during a typical day. We can comfortably handle 32 per unit, and supposedly up to 40 if needed. With x4 6TB drives in each set in SHR-1 (equivalent to RAID5) we have about a month or so of footage retention. The licensing is a little pricey at $50 per camera (unless you buy in bulk from some european IP camera shops...), but it is perpetual and I think worth the expense. Using two of these units, 8 cheap drives from eBay (luckily these do not suffer from the Synology whitelist) and a bunch of camera licenses, for around under $5000 I was able to build and set up a really easy to use and reliable NVR system with plenty of future expandability. 2-3 users are regularly connected on their desktops without issue.
