You still need to feed power to it somehow, though. Most of the time when
we use these, I don't even care about having data to the ground.

I ran into the same problem with the long cable setting... it took me

2015-06-18 Thread George Skorup
We're using IPPower cameras and they also seem to do pretty good. We 
have some at a tower site. One is outside facing the shelter door that 
has a light over it that likes to flicker and then shut down I assume 
because of overheating or something. The camera is maybe 4-5 feet away 
from it. Seems to adjust to light changes pretty fast and smooth. Might 
take a second or two for the IR to kick on, but that's about it.


We've also installed some of their HD PTZs with long-range IR floods at 
some parks and other places. They're expensive ($1k) but the picture is 
amazing. From what the guys have showed me, we can zoom like 450 feet 
with clarity. All I could say was, OK, turn the frame-rate down because 
you're pulling 30Mbps. :) #BandwidthNazi

becoming prolific. This saturates the upload on many broadband plans. I know 
first-hand because my parents were complaining about slow internet. The 
constant streaming video upload was the reason. 


On VZ homefusion, this could cost up to $3500/mo not counting other usage. :-) 


I guess the point is, folks seem to want video in both directions...

[AFMUG] Cheapest way to run ethernet in conduit

2015-06-18 Thread Darin Steffl
Hey guys,

What is the most cost effective conduit you've used for cable runs from a
pole mount to their house. There is one run that keeps getting eaten
through by animals and it needs to go in conduit. It's about 350 feet and
looking for the cheapest conduit possible that will hold the Cat5.


What are you all using and what is rough cost per foot?
What is the best way to get the cable through the conduit smoothly at long
distances?

Thank you

 know first-hand because my parents were complaining about slow internet.
 The constant streaming video upload was the reason.

 On VZ homefusion, this could cost up to $3500/mo not counting other usage.

I would prefer they come in less on cost and power than the 1100ah2,
otherwise we will just make those fit. The enclosure dimensions are
36x36x10. I prefer to put it in horizontally/flat with the rb1100ah2 if I
use a 90 degree power cord that leaves me just a little over 2 inches for
the ethernet bend, which I can get away with but would prefer a little less
tight and not to have patch cords against the door.

Hey guys,

What is the most cost effective conduit you've used for cable runs 
from a pole mount to their house. There is one run that keeps getting 
eaten through by animals and it needs to go in conduit. It's about 350 
feet and looking for the cheapest conduit possible that will hold the 
Cat5.



What are you all using and what is rough cost per foot?
What is the best way to get the cable through the conduit smoothly at 
long distances?


Thank you

Re: [AFMUG] Site Database Management

2015-06-18 Thread Vince West
Right now I am currently setting up Redmine for this. I am the primary
tower hand and have lots of information about our sites from the past 8
years that I think would be useful to everyone.

I honestly do not know if this is the proper tool for the job, but it has
specific options I am looking for.

For example:

Documents (tower agreements, POCs etc.), a Wiki (to add information about
equipment on tower and add important information specific to the site) and
Files (for photo upload) are all things I am looking for that Redmine
supports. There are some things that need to be changed or added such as
email notifications and issue tracking. All the changes I have made are
rather simple.

I can't speak for iOS, but there are some decent third party apps for
Android out there that also make it easy to do this from the field when a
data connection is not available.

I won't say it is the perfect option, but it works for me and the other
hands that work these sites regularly.

 Apart from a Wiki/Excel sheet/plain text file.

 I’d like for a tower monkey to be able to take pictures of
 deployments/changes and associate it with the site.
 Same goes with accessing and updating details about things like:
  access to a site, contact numbers, GPS coordinates, list of equipment,
 IP addresses, WiFi passwords, Power Meter Number, custom notes, etc.

 Of course the above could be a big text box that gets changed, but then
 people will forget things to add. I’d prefer nice fields that you can
 populate.. When there’s data in them you can click the phone number to
 call, click the GPS coordinates to pull up maps, etc.

 Plus I want it to look pretty and be usable by someone rolling up with a
 phone and who happened to forget the gate code.

 Any suggestions?

So after I sent out this email I got a call probably 20 minutes later, we
placed an order and I should have a shipping number today. The person that
I spoke to also took down the information regarding the emergency line and
is going to determine if there's a breakdown in the IVR somewhere because
he said I should have got someone on the line when I went to the emergency
section.

While I'm happy that someone got back to me it's still frustrating that it
took a mass email to get a call back in a reasonable time frame.

 Phoned into support in the morning it took 30 minutes for the helpdesk
 guy to track down the asset with multiple times on hold. After the final
 hold period I am told Our support says it's dead, you will have to buy a
 new one, I'll have sales phone you

 Asked if they would please phone me today and get the order placed right
 away so it can ship as soon as possible. He said he can't make any promises
 but he's going to talk to the sales person personally.

 Now 5pm on central time so I assume they've all closed up shop for the
 day.

 SO FRUSTRATING! WHY?! Is it really that bad they can't take a sales call
 so I can hand them money to get this tower running smoothly again?

deployments/changes and associate it with the site.
Same goes with accessing and updating details about things like:
 access to a site, contact numbers, GPS coordinates, list of
equipment, IP addresses, WiFi passwords, Power Meter Number,
custom notes, etc.

Of course the above could be a big text box that gets changed,
but then people will forget things to add. I’d prefer nice
fields that you can populate.. When there’s data in them you
can click the phone number to call, click the GPS coordinates
to pull up maps, etc.

Plus I want it to look pretty and be usable by someone rolling
up with a phone and who happened to forget the gate code.

Any suggestions?

  Hey guys, 

  What is the most cost effective conduit you've used for cable runs from a 
pole mount to their house. There is one run that keeps getting eaten through by 
animals and it needs to go in conduit. It's about 350 feet and looking for the 
cheapest conduit possible that will hold the Cat5.


  What are you all using and what is rough cost per foot?
  What is the best way to get the cable through the conduit smoothly at long 
distances?

  Thank you

 If you have an Android phone/tablet, you can download their free app to

 I'll look into the remote DVR issue for you.

 The cameras are really washed out by our security lights at night.  I
 got the expensive night IR model hoping to capture traffic at night.  But
 the ambient light is too much for the BW IR mode and not enough for
 regular color daylight mode.

 The thing that really bugs me is our inability to see the video
 remotely.  If on site it works OK but if I log into the DVR it allows
 access but the screen is just black.  No camera video is visible.
 Grandstream has not been helpful.

 So, shall I try another brand of camera?  Have not tried any of the UBNT
 stuff.  I have a cheap system from Harbor Freight that while is extremely
 low res and has noise on some of the channels actually works well enough
 for many things.  (If nothing more than scaring away bad guys by the

I wonder about that.  We’re starting to get more residential takers on leasing 
a Mikrotik.  We ship them with UPNP disabled and since they are remotely 
managed can easily enable it upon request.  Have not had to turn a single one

night? We've had to tweek the video settings 
on some of the cameras.

If you have an Android phone/tablet, you can download their free app to 
view your cameras remotely. We have Apple and use the IP Cam Viewer app which 
is nice.

I'll look into the remote DVR issue for you.

daylight mode.

  The thing that really bugs me is our inability to see the video remotely. 
 If on site it works OK but if I log into the DVR it allows access but the 
screen is just black.  No camera video is visible.  Grandstream has not been 
helpful.

  So, shall I try another brand of camera?  Have not tried any of the UBNT

things.  (If nothing more than scaring away bad guys by the presence of the 
cameras.)

Right now I am currently setting up Redmine for this. I am the primary tower

think would be useful to everyone.
I honestly do not know if this is the proper tool for the job, but it has 
specific options I am looking for.
For example:
Documents (tower agreements, POCs etc.), a Wiki (to add information about 
equipment on tower and add important information specific to the site) and 
Files (for photo upload) are all things I am looking for that Redmine supports. 
There are some things that need to be changed or added such as email 
notifications and issue tracking. All the changes I have made are rather simple.
I can't speak for iOS, but there are some decent third party apps for Android 
out there that also make it easy to do this from the field when a data 
connection is not available.
I won't say it is the perfect option, but it works for me and the other hands 
that work these sites regularly.Vince WestTower Hand

Anybody use anything spectacular for managing a list of all your sites?  Apart 
from a Wiki/Excel sheet/plain text file.



 I’d like for a tower monkey to be able to take pictures of 
 deployments/changes and associate it with the site.

 Same goes with accessing and updating details about things like:

  access to a site, contact numbers, GPS coordinates, list of equipment, IP 
 addresses, WiFi passwords, Power Meter Number, custom notes, etc.



 Of course the above could be a big text box that gets changed, but then 
 people will forget things to add. I’d prefer nice fields that you can 
 populate.. When there’s data in them you can click the phone number to call, 
 click the GPS coordinates to pull up maps, etc.



 Plus I want it to look pretty and be usable by someone rolling up with a 
 phone and who happened to forget the gate code.



 Any suggestions?

It's definitely a NAT issue. Does your router support UPNP? Did you enable it 
in Settings-Network Settings-Advanced Settings?

Re: [AFMUG] Will the Ruckus 7762-S do both bands simultaneously on the external ports?

2015-06-18 Thread can...@believewireless.net
One thing I should have mentioned, you will need external antennas for the
5GHz band. You connect them to the two N connectors.
