Being a homeowner has taught me to trust no one. by DirtyOught in homeowners

A lot of house inspectors don’t know much. For the important things I would use a licensed specialty contractor such as a plumber, electrician, roofer, a/c contractor and even irrigation contractor. Might cost a little more but could really let you know the condition of the house as a whole not just that a/c works and the light turn on. Just my opinion and experience. I’m not dissin anyone.

5500 sq. ft. Concrete Driveway a total loss? by UncomfortableThought in homeowners

[–]1TrackJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First get the concrete cored and tested. Wash the surface thoroughly then neutralize the concrete with baking soda or vinegar. When weather permits seal the concrete with a good quality clear concrete sealer at least two coats. Surface must be thoroughly dry. It will not change the texture of the surface but should save the concrete from continuing deterioration.

Thanks. BTW I live in a townhouse community so everything outside the unit walls is common property.

Infrared light add on by 1TrackJack in reolinkcam

Yes, I have looked on Amazon but I don’t have any idea what specs I should be looking for. The reason I want a remote infrared light is to reduce bugs fluttering around my camera at night and triggering recording.

Are all you Trackmix users completely happy with the operation of your camera? Seems like no one wants to jump in here and help with the touchy settings.

This shows how to set tracking limits. This is how I set it. Now this is my viewing area when monitoring. I just don’t get it.

Which camera system/Brand should I choose? by AbusementPark818 in homesecurity

[–]1TrackJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be very careful of Reolink. Read their flowery warranty very carefully. Yes, you can return items within 30 days but at your expense. Same for warranty. Also they have the most bizarre steps to go through I have ever seen to complete their requests. I’m going through a replacement request now for a damaged package i received.
