    Discovery Bank's R498 million loss "better than expected"

    Because the government says they need to implement a BEE deal. If they give it to everyone they don’t have a BEE deal so now they need to 1) give it to everyone and then 2) also find a BEE deal. If they gave it to Cyril everyone thinks that’s perfect because we don’t compare themselves to...

    Checkers Sixty60 versus Woollies Dash

    During early lockdown Woolies would offer deliveries a week or so out. Didn’t change for months. In a pandemic it doesn’t dawn on them maybe to hire a few more delivery people? Why even show stock amounts a week ahead of time? They deserve every bit of lost business. Checkers has since had a...

    Smart analytics - Hikvision vs Uniview

    Not tremendous aversion but more of a bias. I don’t really want to buy a PC for this, or have it running on my laptop. Extra power use compared to dedicated hardware. Blue Iris’ AI seems to need you to send the data to their servers to process. So data use plus if the network dies you don’t get...

    Smart analytics - Hikvision vs Uniview

    Hi all, We need an IP system for a few reasons so can’t use DVR. I see Hikvision only seems to offer their Acusense tech locally on the 16 channel NVR, and cameras are pretty pricy. Like 3k each. Uniview offers human body identification too, but can be bought in 4 or 8 channel systems and have...

    Network camera/NVR capabilities

    I figure if the streams going to cloud are lower res than to NVR then I don’t mind. Complex has fibre and we could contribute a bit for the extra bandwidth. However we could definitely set up some extra network between us. There are two entrances and 7 houses, and each set has ducting that we...

    Network camera/NVR capabilities

    Nothing? Experts all hiding? One option is to have private cams go to NVR and have IP cams go to Camcloud. Not sure if they can go to both. Things I think I'd like: - Some cams be full HD. Not sure if I need garden ones that good. - PoE so one cable and don't need WiFi. - Probably only need 8...

    Network camera/NVR capabilities

    Hi all, I'm investigating a network camera setup for our house and (small) complex. Not sure of the capabilities/limitations. Assuming Hikvision IP cameras and NVR or online recording, is it possible to: Have some private cameras Have some cameras shared, e.g. two of mine, two of theirs in...

    Fibre non-data (i.e. line) prices? (esp Metrofibre)

    Hi all, I see there are fairly large price differences in the data + line total prices between various providers. Metrofibre is likely to be working in our area soon and I'd like to understand what the non-data portion of their pricing is. I.e. what do they charge a service provider for my...
