Re: [AFMUG] Mikrotik Powerbox
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.

Re: [AFMUG] OT Grandstream Cameras
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 On 6/18/2015 10:59 AM, Carl Peterson wrote: The Axis low light cameras work really well for situations like that where you have street lights etc. On Thu, Jun 18, 2015 at 11:19 AM, Chuck McCown ch...@wbmfg.com mailto:ch...@wbmfg.com wrote: I could post a pic if I could get into the system.

Re: [AFMUG] Site Database Management
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.

Re: [AFMUG] Cheapest way to run ethernet in conduit
I've used 1/2 PVC conduit, and over 100' or so, it's a PITA. I usually recommend 3/4 conduit (and it's not that much more than 1/2).

Re: [AFMUG] [WISPA Members] Powercode
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?!

Re: [AFMUG] Site Database Management
+1 We added a tag field to issues in Jira for the POP name and tag all POPs affected by the issue. We have a page in Confluence for each POP with site info, image gallery, access info, etc with a dynamic search for the POP tag so any issues affecting/involving the POP show up. We outgrew the 10 users for $10 license and are now paying ye olde enterprise rates and it's still so very worth it.

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.

Re: [AFMUG] OT Grandstream Cameras
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 on yet. Maybe the intersection of people with Xboxes and people who lease routers is the null set? Hard to believe.

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’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.

One thing I should have mentioned, you will need external antennas for the 5GHz band. You connect them to the two N connectors.
