    Is reddit right about copper cables between buildings?

    It is perfectly sound advice. It is also sound to use optics... both decouple the buildings.

    Is reddit right about copper cables between buildings?

    Ethernet is magnetically coupled. There is no ground wire in it. Thus, there are no grounding issues. Often, you use shielded wire where you ground the jacket... You need to look out for ground loops in that case... Someone posted this a while back...

    Lightning. That bright light in the sky that occasionally hits the ground. Creates magnetic fields.... Nothing wrong with optically coupling either- but not required...

    Is reddit right about copper cables between buildings?

    Electrical engineer here. You can run copper..... the grounding won't be an issue. I highly suggest using ubiquity surge protectors at each end of the wire. I have several outdoor runs on my own property... lightning is your enemy...

    I said send notification regardless- and now I see when a car comes by. I don't often get great visibility at night. I noticed at night-- the RKNN plate reader doesn't read what the regular plate reader can see. RKNN left-- regular right...

    Ok. Done. I can replay the alert and see the plate JSON. However, I don't see the MQTT message when I play it. I am not sure that part fires when doing the AI overlay? I also removed the requirements for the MQTT. I hit the test button and that shows up....

    So I moved my Codeproject from my Ubuntu box to my orange PI--- I noticed I stopped getting MQTT messages... I moved back to the Linux box... and I am not getting MQTT message. The only thing I changed was the codeproject pointed under settings.... Let me post me settings... I do a debug...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    Interesting-- I see 2.3.4 in docker hub but that didn't see to actually BE a newer version... I think that is actually an old one. https://hub.docker.com/r/codeproject/ai-server/tags I installed 2.3.2 on an OPi5. The RKNN license plate reader isn't installed yet? The RKNN object detection...
