    Anybody use MeshCentral remote desktop

    A couple weeks ago I received an email from REALVNC stating they are eliminating the free version of VNC. I use VNC to access a few remote camera systems that do not have a static IP. The systems that have a static IP I connect headless with SSH using Bitvise. So I started researching other...

    Live camera on a cell tower

    UPDATE.....The live camera is up to 819 subscribers and 5175 watch hours. Adding the national weather service weather radio audio has helped attract and keep viewers. Maybe it will make a little money someday. It's been a fun experiment anyway.

    Firmware for a Dahua 8A840WANF Camera

    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...

    Climate Change narrative as a tool to affect radical far left agendas.

    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 ethernet cable outdoors

    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.

    Does anyone LiveStream their camera on youtube?

    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...
