RE: Protect your Credit Cards at Syracuse Rally

The only way your information could be stolen without physically using the card is if you have one of the RF cards. I will only get swipe only credit cards. Then they have to be physically swiped in the machine to get any information. I also will not give my credit card to any waiter/waitress, i take it to the register and swipe it myself. Also had one cashier that wanted my card to swipe because the reader was behind the counter. Told her to either put the reader on the counter so i could swipe it or let me go behind the counter to swipe it. She called the manager and i told him the same thing. Got to go behind the counter to swipe my card, found out the next day they put the reader on the counter.
That is so very WRONG...
90% of all stolen card numbers are taken from databases from business and credit institutions. They then make a new card and sell them in bulk. They are used a few times to buy merchandise that is resold for cash, then discarded.

RE: NASCAR at it finest ........huh?

RE: Hard drive disposal

Ok then.
You tell me how you would go about getting data off a hard drive that's been formated.
It can be done but the people who can do it won't waste their time on some nickel and dime HD
A simple piece of software called Recover My Files, about 75 bucks will recover files from a formated hard drive. We have the more advanced version with a few more options that cost a bit over $300, and it works quite well.

RE: ideas needed-tablet + usb camera + screen capture?

Check into a Gopro cam with the WiFi remote and bacpac setup. I believe you can stream wireless to a lap top or tablet with this setup.

RE: Want to add wifi to the workshop. One problem...

Ok so this pico your referring to. Is it virtually the same as a bullet only in one box. With out the antenna options of being able to plug in any n mount antenna? It says indoor out door would it be able to be hose clamped to the riser of my tv tower so it laid flat on the road and stood up while driving?
Yes
on top of that if you needed to change antenna types, you just need a rp-sma to n adapter,
but for what your doing the standard antenna is fine
kart thanks for the info, i will give the rma a shot if i can't get it to come back
Anytime
I just ordered 3 of the aircams, interested to see how they perform. Have been using foscams.
eh from the forum reads, the software to monitor them is junk, use the blue iris software,and the mounting hardware sucks, quality is suppose to be ok,
have you tried the hd foscam that recently came out? i have a foscam as well, works great except when u stream for a long time, it resets once a day, other than that it works flawless
Yea, Blueiris for sure. Was not aware foscam had an HD cam. Will check into them.

RE: Want to add wifi to the workshop. One problem...

We had a pico fail last week at an event and a reset to defaults repaired it.
I have also had a pico go completely dead, shipped it back to ubiquiti and they replaced it. I have no idea even how old it was.
The Mikrotik routers are excellent, although require some good networking knowledge to setup. We use the router software to manage our access points at larger events.
how long did it take you to get a new one from ubiquiti?
yea this is my 2nd mikrotik, have a 750 as well, yea learning curve was steep, but i have a pretty good idea now how they work
I think it was about a week. Get an RMA from their website and ship it to them. It was pretty fast.

RE: Want to add wifi to the workshop. One problem...

Does anyone have any experience with ubiquitie's bullet 2. I saw a wright up on a forum can't find it now unfortunately. Where they had purchased one of these the appropriate omnidirectional antenna and mounted it to the cover of their air conditioner. Run the cat5 with Poe through the ducting of the ac and inside where a wifi router or laptop could be connected increasing the cg range. The example used a 3db about 1"1/2 tall antenna and found range out to several thousand feet. I'm interested in doing this but wondered of any one else had tried it. Looks like for ~120 you'd get a 500mw or 1 watt booster. Depending on which model you buy.
Not to hijack the thread I was thinking if this for the op as well.
nano locom2 would be a better option for the op, more directional and cheaper.
bullet requires its own poe, and antenna which adds up fast,
if he wants omni converge a picom2 would be cheaper and provide the same functionality as the bullet
Ditto on the Pico M2, Ubiquiti products are some of the best wifi products on the market. 2 picos will cover that distance no problem.
For a more directional feed use two NanoBridges Link
at 150 feet bridges are overkill, loco's have way more then enough power and are cheaper
I agree, was just throwing out another option.
I use two locos at home from my house to my shop apx 200 feet from the router. I have a DirecTV box in the shop that I can watch the DVR contect from the house with no lag at all. The NanoStation Loco's work very well.

RE: Magic Jack?

Kart Racer I've heard about that, do you need to have your computer on all the time? If not, I may look into it further and have to find a tech savy person to hook it up maybe geek squad can do it
If it requires a computer, the cost to keep in on 24/7 will be way more than MJ or Net10. Just a thought.
No computer needed to be on. plugs into the router.

RE: Magic Jack?

I use Google Voice (free) with an OBi110 (one time price $50) Takes a bit of network knowledge to setup, but works well. The OBi plugs into your network, then plug your home phones into the OBi.

I have the removable system. It works great. I got it to dump at home, I connected it to 90 feet of 1 inch PVC to reach the clean out and have no issues.
