Motion detection can give lots of false alarms from trees, shrubbery, cats, birds, spiders etc.

In the past I’ve mainly use bottom of the range cameras because all I’m interested in, as with a dashcam, is proving that an event happened rather than identifying a perpetrator or number plate ….. either is just a bonus.

During a recent password audit by a company, it was found that an employee was using the following password:

When asked why she had such a long password, she rolled her eyes and said: “Hello! It has to be at least 8 characters and include at least one capital.”

In The Beginning

In ancient Israel, it came to pass that a trader by the name of Abraham Com did take unto himself a young wife by the name of Dot. And Dot Com was a comely woman, broad of shoulder and long of leg. Indeed, she was often called Amazon Dot Com.

And she said unto Abraham , her husband, “Why dost thou travel so far from town to town with thy goods when thou canst trade without ever leaving thy tent?”

And Abraham did look at her as though she were several saddle bags short of a camel load, but simply said, “How, dear?”

And Dot replied, “I will place drums in all the towns and drums in between to send messages saying what you have for sale, and they will reply telling you who hath the best price. And the sale can be made on the drums and delivery made by Uriah’s Pony Stable (UPS).”

Abraham thought long and decided he would let Dot have her way with the drums. And the drums rang out and were an immediate success. Abraham sold all the goods he had at the top price, without ever having to move from his tent.

To prevent neighboring countries from overhearing what the drums were saying, Dot devised a system that only she and the drummers knew. It was known as Must Send Drum Over Sound (MSDOS), and she also developed a language to transmit ideas and pictures – Hebrew To The People (HTTP).

And the young men did take to Dot Com’s trading as doth the greedy horsefly take to camel dung. They were called Nomadic Ecclesiastical Rich Dominican Sybarites, or NERDS.

And lo, the land was so feverish with joy at the new riches and the deafening sound of drums that no one noticed that the real riches were going to that enterprising drum dealer, Brother William of Gates, who bought off every drum maker in the land. And indeed did insist on drums to be made that would work only with Brother Gates ‘ drumheads and drumsticks.

And Dot did say, “Oh, Abraham , what we have started is being taken over by others.”

And Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel , or eBay as it came to be known. He said, “We need a name that reflects what we are.”

And Dot replied, “Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner Operators.” “YAHOO,” said Abraham. And because it was Dot’s idea, they named it YAHOO Dot Com.

Abraham’s cousin, Joshua , being the young Gregarious Energetic Educated Kid (GEEK) that he was, soon started using Dot’s drums to locate things around the countryside. It soon became known as God’s Own Official Guide to Locating Everything.

That is how it all began. And that’s the truth.

Keyboard

A help desk operator takes a call from a hysterical secretary. It seems she was playing on her boss’s brand new business computer and she spilled sticky soda on the “keyboard.”

The help desk operator figured, “What the hell. It’s only a $10 keyboard” and told her to unplug it, rinse the keys under the tap and leave it somewhere to dry.

The next morning her boss rings the help desk demanding to speak to the manager. This guy really wants the help desk operator’s job, he’s that upset.

What he wants to know is… “What clown told my secretary to put $2000 worth of laptop under a tap?”

“DADDY! HOW WAS I BORN?” , Junior asks his dad:

His dad, who is a software engineer sighs and replies, “Ah, my son, I guess one day you would have to find out anyway!”

“Well, I saw your Mom and I first got together in a chat room on YAHOO . Then I set up a date via e-mail with your mom and we met at a cyber-cafe. We sneaked into a secluded room, where your mother agreed to a download from my hard drive. As soon as I was ready to up load, we discovered that neither one of us had used a firewall, but it was too late to hit the delete button.”

“Six weeks later your mom sent me an instant message saying that her operating system was showing signs of unauthorized program activity from a self extracting file which had implanted itself in her BIOS. Then nine months later a little Pop-Up appeared and said:

‘You’ve Got Male’!

Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young ‘pullets,’ and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs.

He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced.

This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters.

Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing.

Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells.

Fred’s favorite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch’s bell hadn’t rung at all!

When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover.

To Fred’s amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn’t ring.

He’d sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one.

Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the Local Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.

The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the “No Bell Peace Prize,” but they also awarded him the “Pulletsurprise” as well.

A day at the races…

A group of primary school infants, accompanied by 2 female teachers, went on a field trip to Cheltenham races to see and learn about thoroughbred horses. When it was time to take the children to the toilet, it was decided that the girls would go with one teacher, and the boys would go with the other.

The teacher assigned to the boys was standing outside the men’s toilet when one of the children came out and said none of them could reach the urinals. Having no choice, she went inside, helped the boys with their pants, and began hoisting the boys up, one by one, holding their willies to direct the flow away from their clothes.

As she lifted one, she couldn’t help but notice he was unusually well endowed. Trying not to show that she was staring, she said “You must be in form four”.

“No Ma’am” came the reply. “I’m riding silver bullet in the 2:15”

Sorry Bob, the answer’s in the lyric.

Sundown by Gordon Lightfoot. I lent the CD to someone & never got it back.

 

Pretty little Sally goes walking down the alley
Displays her pretty ankles to all of the men
They could see her garters, but not for free and gratis
An inch or two and then she knows when to say when

A teacher in a one-room schoolhouse arrives one morning to find a nice, red apple on her desk with a tag on it saying T.O.T.
Knowing that she had some not-so-nice pranksters in her class, she cautiously asked, “Can someone explain what T.O.T. means?”
Mary in the front row raised her hand and explained, “It means, ‘To Our Teacher.'”
The next morning the teacher finds a bigger and prettier apple than the day before. This time there is a tag with T.O.T.W.L. written on it.
She asks for an explanation for this note and little Johnny waves his hand to explain, “That means ‘To Our Teacher With Love.'”
The next morning she arrives to find a great big watermelon sitting on her desk with a tag saying ” F.U.C.K.” Her jaw drops and she screams,
“Who can explain this?”

Little Buckwheat in the back row raises his hand and says, “that means, ‘From Us Colored Kids.'”

No problems whatsoever with the Axis cameras, they work when powered under all conditions. It was my old ones that I couldn’t get to work with injectors …. but now they do.

The Axis AC adaptors look pretty standard to me : 5v, 1.5amp with a 3.5/1.3mm plug  against the cheapo 5v, 2amp with a 3.5/1.3mm plug .

Can I throw my limited understanding of PoE at you? I’ve looked but can’t find anything which explains the basics.

Power from an AC adaptor (wall wart) 5v DC, goes into the injector, it travels via two cores (or maybe pairs) of the ethernet cable to the injector at the far end where it exits via the other injector power plug .
Power from a PoE switch does exactly the same at a higher DC voltage. The camera then takes its power directly from the powered ethernet cable rather than the normal input socket.
As I see it, how the power is injected is mainly irrelevant,  it’s whether the camera is capable of accepting it direct from the ethernet cable or if it has to be spit out to go via the power socket – well at least with consumer grade products.

There used to be a guess the song from the lyrics thread on MM where the person who got the answer set the next question.

Probably not a good idea as it took me 5 years to get the answer to Bob’s last question. 🙁

Thanks Dave.

The plugs on the injectors are 5.5/2.1 mm but the power sockets on the cameras are 3.5/1.3mm.

For some reason the IP camera wouldn’t work when I tried the injectors with some plug adaptors & I didn’t feel like going up & down the ladder numerous times trouble shooting.

I thought I might have had a duff pair of injectors but now that I’ve changed cameras & can run the old ones in the comfort of the living room both the KK Moon & Wanscam cameras ran fine when powered by injectors similar to the ones linked to.
