    Yep, that mount specifically is extremely common for a lot of label slapper companies. Like they all look like that haha. Hex bolts to make it easier to attach, the pendulum mount, the cap, set screws and all.

    Never seen a flock ptz camera myself so I guess I can’t say much about that specifically.


  • It reminds me of a pelco or scw ptz ball camera. Likely does have an AI integration, but that would likely be NVR dependant and what system its plugged into.

    On its own all it does is motion enabled tracking, routes, or stationary recording depending on how the business has it set up.

    Like others have said, not at all like the typical flock setup. Which will generally be attached to a random pole with solar. They have a more narrow view generally and look more like a bullet style camera. Sometimes with a IR Light to the side of it depending on the area.



  • There’s nothing wrong with stranded wire, it just means if it’s carrying voltage and a few strands snip or break (leading to greater than 15% voltage loss) it can cause issues. Solid is simply an all or nothing kind of wire. This is more of an issue though if you don’t get every stand under the terminal, otherwise it can be beneficial due to the fact that there is plenty more “wire” to name contact with each other in case a stand breaks in some way along the middle or not at either end. (Bearing being crushed, chewed, or other thing where the wires no longer make any contact with the rest of the wire)

    The only thing I use solid core for is fire alarm systems (where all or nothing is crucial), certain audio equipments, and anything nearing high voltage which a thermostat generally doesn’t reach. If it does take 120v+ then wow what why.

    Tinned tips though always help for sure, definitely makes it easier to remove/insert the wire.

    Been a technician for the last 10 years now an thats my understanding of it atleast.

    This has been the case for a few months now, rather disingeous of op to post this when it’s a known problem and makes the app completely unusuable.

    It’s a known issue. They have to find a way around Spotifys API which… doesn’t seem to be going well.
