  I typically run with Dahua (or Hikvision in a pinch) mixed with their own branded NVRs or, if software based, BlueIris. Both models of cameras are professional grade and look the part but can be a little costly. The Dahua cameras have several models with the "Starlight" sensor which makes low light situations look fantastic and easy to identify. Check out https://ipcamtalk.com for tons of reviews, footage, etc of many different cameras. Dahua aren't usually sold to "end users" in North America but there's a guy on Alibaba that ships straight from China cheaply and with NA firmware. He's highly used on IPCamTalk and I've personally purchased a few dozen cameras from him. https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1859367

  @dashrender said in Microsoft Managed Services: @scottalanmiller said in Microsoft Managed Services: @dashrender said in Microsoft Managed Services: @scottalanmiller said in Microsoft Managed Services: @dashrender said in Microsoft Managed Services: @scottalanmiller said in Microsoft Managed Services: @storageninja said in Microsoft Managed Services: $7 per user per month is a trivial marginal cost for the US and EMEA. The real question is if they will do regional based pricing or discounts (A $3 China or India subscription). That's a tough one these days. It would easily make you start buying in cheaper locales. Well licensing can prevent you from using cheap licenses in expensive areas.. so you'd have to move your workers. It CAN, but not without often crippling mobility. I don't buy this. If you can afford to send your employee from a cheep workzone to an expensive one, you can afford to pay $7/m instead of $3. Can afford versus will afford aren't the same. Sure, it's only $4, but it's about mobile workers choosing the source of their machines. Again that will come down to the cost of training and software dev to move them to a platform that doesn't have this issue. or just buying in places where the cost is drastically lower.

  @storageninja : Agreed. I have 3 clients that required at least 2M in E&O before they'd sign us.. I had to increase ours as we typically carry $1M.

  @scottalanmiller said in Home business ideas for transition out of 9-5?: @dashrender said in Home business ideas for transition out of 9-5?: @scottalanmiller said in Home business ideas for transition out of 9-5?: @guyinpv said in Home business ideas for transition out of 9-5?: And do you realize that general developers can be found on Craigslist for $10/hr? You can definitely penny-pinch in this game if you wanted! You really can't. Someone listing themselves as a developer and being one isn't the same. I work in development (not as a developer) and hiring at $100K salary in low cost areas is a struggle. Real developers with skills and some experience are in super high demand. Logically, no one is offering $10/hr on Craigslist when there are $100K positions with benefits that can't even get reasonable interviews. Development is definitely anything but a penny pinching game. Sure, developers struggle to compete with offshore work. But to get any quality offshore work you can't pay by the hour, you are hiring for years on salary. You can get lower hourly rates that way, but you can't do it hour to hour. The key here is to find the people not looking at the 10/hr people on Craigslist. Sure there are SMBs that do that - and likely end up spending tons more paying someone else down the road to fix what the cheap people broke/couldn't do - but you don't want to deal with those customer anyway. Yup, people who are looking there aren't really looking for anything serious. And those aren't recurring. It's a one shot deal for basically no money. Those customers aren't getting any real work done, either. /cough fiverr.com /cough

  The birds eye view on bing maps used to be great, until Microsoft decided to get rid of it! It was way better than Google maps for fishing recon.

  @jaredbusch said in Anyone heard of Intratem?: Account with 5 phones. Two of them current being paid for (second column). The plan says 4 lines but they had a promo a couple years ago to add a line for free. So I did.. That's a great deal for 4 lines. Just for myself, ting has been amazing. My usage has been up for the past few months, so my bill has gone up from $25.00/month to $35.00/month (yes, ting still does the tiered billing thing, but only charge for what you actually use.)

  I'm still amazed at the 6 month turn around. If your RIO is under or about 6 months then this is a really good opportunity.

  @sully93 said in Mobile Device Management: I have but in cases of immediate termination we already have their accounts disabled so don't think the phone and our server are able to communicate with each other. Plus if they are backing up their phones then they can restore from the previous backup and be right back to where they were. They'd get around any MDM in those cases.

  @irj I Laughed pretty hard. There are benefits to combining hardware and software together in a purchase, and then there are downsides. Weird trade in/up games is one of them.

  Also many of the new ones seem to only be used by scammers/spammers. Probably due to the fact there are so many of them now(tlds and spammers). .top .xyz .win All of these are newer tlds that legit people can use, but in reality i have only ever gotten spam or a bunch of login attempts from them. I still dont get why some of these new tld are managed by companies like Amazon or Gallo vineyards or this company called Donuts, which seems to have been setup specifically to gank management of as many of these tld as possible.

  I may have to check this out. Trying to use Google Voice currently for rental property management and it just doesn't seem to be cutting it. Most of our calls would be inbound and the extra features like virtual receptionist would be nice.

  @manxam said in What email service do you use for your small business?: I've had really good success with MXRoute for small orgs. They provide next-to-no support (and are open about that in their FAQ) but, in 3 years of utilizing their service, I've never required it. Their pricing and the services that they offer are excellent (i.e. webmail via horde, squirrel, and roundcube. Spamassassin, global and local filters, relays, imap(s), pop(s), alternate imap/pop ports, caldav, zPush, etc) For one of my personal projects I have a 30gb 5$ / year account via a discount code I found on VPSCheap, though I do use Exchange for my business due to better calendar/contact/Outlook integration. One of their current offers: Storage: 100GB Features: Unlimited domains/email accounts Server Location: Dallas, TX Price: Monthly: $5 Quarterly: $10 Semi-Annually: $20 Annually: $35 Biennially (every 2 years): $60 Triennially (every 3 years): $90 They kind of get you with the storage. Really cant imagine "no support". Even with Zoho you get some support for free accounts.

  @nerdydad said in How to choose public DNS provider for an ISP: or should I give them something that is more privacy focused but might also restrict their access to the internet. But OpenDNS does nothing of the sort. It is a pubic open DNS service available for anyone to use.
