    Starlink - anyone have it?

    I've got a Rev2 system and I thought that the wireless router was required to talk to the dish. Do I understand you correctly when you say you do not have yours installed? Your system is 3rd party router--> power injector-->starlink antenna and their equipment is still in the box?

    Starlink - anyone have it?

    Yes I have one. It does great for "normal" internet and streaming. I have my router behind the modem just like one might on a cable internet modem. It is out in Texas with a wide open view of 90% of the sky. I cannot guess how it might fair here in Florida with huge pines and cypress trees all...

    Hall of shame

    I do not think that a dryer would discolor PVC. A lot of dryer vents are cheap plastic and the was piece is usually plastic. It looks like to me that is the exhaust on a gas water heater! The other PVC is probably a fresh air vent I had to look back to the gas water heater with the glowing gas...

    Here comes Milton…

    I75 North through Pasco County was bumper to bumper around noon. Costco looked like the covid days. Got stuff easy to cook on an egg if we loose power. Tested the generator. I heard gas stations are already running low. Tomorrow, will be another day of prep. Everybody stay safe.

    Any Dmss user? Pls help

    There is a search function on the add camera screen and it will find it. If it is your first camera, it should be set at default 192.168.1.108 if your computer is not on that subnet, best to read the wiki. Find your computer IP address by pulling up console with cmd in the program search bar...

    AngelCam runs on a raspberry pi. I do not know how much access one gets with it but you can certainly monitor your cameras.

    256GB SD card for dahua and Imou

    I have used the Samsung EVO but they are not warranted for cameras. The Samsung Pro Endurance is specifically warrantied for video monitoring. There is a thread on here somewhere that recommends NOT using the Sandisk. They should still all work but might not last. When you put the card in the...

    Dahua Camera Times out/goes blank after over 48hours

    ^^^^ Cleaning up wiring is a good place to start. The Dauha sheet for NVR4116HS-8P-4KS2/L shows that it is EOL so maybe an upgrade. It appears to be a 16 channel NVR but states "8 × 1080p@30 fps " and POE capability of " Total output power of PoE is 72W, the maximum output power of a single...

    The official "WTF" thread

    Snakes in panels are quite common. A quick search ( on the engine of your choice) will show dozens of instances where a snake caused power outages. I cannot speak for Cobras but I have stumbled across many surprised snakes when I opened a panel.

    One of my mom's friends pulled a fifth wheel and his boat behind it. He said the only limit is 60 feet long. He said he is 62 foot and got stopped once. The trooper stepped it off but did not pull out his measuring wheel then let him go. I travel 1-10 slot and I see cars pulling several others...

    Emergency Power/Storms/Prepping etc

    I lived in Leesburg for 7 years and don't recall ever losing power for an extended period of time. They are a municipal utility and pretty good. Duke had a transformer fire (?) in Grand Isle recently that was not storm related. I suspect you are with SECO and I have no experience with them...

    Go-Kart Troubles After Midnight

    Kid across from me seems to be partially challenged and still lives at home well later than we all did. But he has a knack for fixing small engines. He accumulates go-carts, dirt bikes and such. I came up on him riding after dark with out lights. We are rural without any street lights. I...

This morning I passed this on I-75. I passed...

    Surprised this thing I'd still lingering. TECO outages at 12000, Duke at 50000, Peace river, GRU and Withlacoochee river less than 5000 each. For those not in Florida, our utilities are still regulated so there is no finger pointing on who bears responsibility for what.
