I noticed that there was a newer firmware for one of my 8A840WANF 4k PTZ camera. The camera was working fine but I did the upgrade anyway. The process went fine, but the new firmware eliminated the ability to log in with Chrome or Firefox. I am a Dahua Star dealer, so I contacted Dahua the...

June 3, 1980 I lived in a Nebraska town called Grand Island. The population at that time was about 35,000. That evening and night we had seven tornados touch down in the city. (1980 Grand Island tornado outbreak - Wikipedia) It killed a few people and really demolished a good part of the...

I use them for low voltage applications.

PiHole. Network wide ad blocking. Works with openVPN so I don't get ads while traveling. Best opensource software utility out there.

Climate change is real. It's been changing since earth was a baby. If it wasn't for climate change, we wouldn't be here. Can we make it go away? No. In the grand scheme of things, human occupation of this planet is just a blip on the calendar.

Burying the cable in a conduit of some sort is always the best choice. I have use PVC pipe, underground sprinkler line and even garden hose. Unless you have some local codes requiring a certain method for low voltage cabling, it's your choice.

When I put the bird feeder livestream on YouTube, raspberry pi SBC's were hard to find and expensive. All my other livestream cameras use a raspberry pi 3B or 3B+ running FFmpeg to do the RTSP to RTMP video conversion before the video is sent to YouTube. FFmpeg will handle everything you want...

I have one Dahua 4K camera that I use the built in RTMP YouTube encoder. It is still running. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5t16AfCUImXu5v3dBd-hqA/live/live

One thing I noticed in the video, he said you need "P2P" enabled. You do not.

That is true. But. If the stream is off for 15 minutes or so, it will not come back. I'm not sure of the exact time limit. If your OBS is installed on a Linux machine and you are into command line operations, you can use a YouTube utility called "youtube-dl" to check the status of the stream...
