    Canada is swirling the toilet bowl..

    Canadian Federal Election tomorrow! Monday April 28th. Will Carney resurrect the Liberal Party from a projected historic wipeout under Trudeau to a Liberal majority? Will Pollivere get at least a minority government after polling projected an all time high majority, only to drop off a cliff...

    We've been having trouble finding a doorbell camera that works for us. Help please

    Reolink POE Doorbell camera will do everything except the battery. We’ve managed to dial things down to someone stepping on the landing. Essentially about to ring the bell if nice, or kick the door in, if not nice. Getting the cord fished through old doorbell wiring passage isn’t bad. If no...

    improve night vision

    Maybe paint that side of the fence non glossy or even textured? A dark colour would be great, but not sure what aesthetic appeal you can get away with. Talk to the knights of nik and get a tall shrubbery?

    Helping a friend

    You can also get trail cams that send an alert on activation. So maybe catch in act. If he’s well known in the community, there are probably some hunters who can loan the gear and even help set it up. They’re pretty good at how to use them. Then not much cash outlay and more people...

    WTS Lightly used NVR8CH-8P-2AI NVR

    Not sure why you’re hung up on taxes being part of the savings, but ask what you want; see if you get it. Guys try to sell guns in Canada for more than retail and claim you’re saving the tax. And that it’s been fired, so it’s reliable. Empire website shows your upgrading to about a $600 unit...

    WTS Lightly used NVR8CH-8P-2AI NVR

    Well, used electronics would be 50% at best typically. And with no idea of how used it is, hours of service, year built, etc. why would anyone go even that high on a something that sees harder useage than a desktop would? 24/7 with no “sleep” times like a desktop.

    The official "WTF" thread

    Iron workers typically aren’t allowed anymore, but they would just grab the edges of the I beams with Hands and just “walk” up the beam. One of the reasons their boots have flat soles. They can move pretty fast.

    I have a problem

    So long as you can state you are in your way to known biking area or a marina (or back to home), it’s “temporary installation”. Just know where there’s one in opposite directions from your house. Picking up dry ice at Krogers for the boat trip kinda thing. Bright orange shouldn’t trigger most...

    I want to see the wildlife in the garden at night, looking for some half decent cameras and maybe a NVR .... already made some bad choices.

    Since it’s for your father, maybe look at a PC stick that plugs into the HDMI of a TV? Then he can maybe just press “source/input” and go from shows to cams live stream with one button. And bigger screen maybe. And it’s small enough, that maybe a proficient UKer on here could set it up and...

    Window twitcher hanging around my Scottish cabin in a forest.

    I’d start with a few trail cams to see about narrowing down the access routes. And then maybe just a heat camera to know the perp is there. Stay in cabin, call cops. They check the road for parked cars. Then guests or cops flush perp and see what vehicle moves. ID of the perp is nice, but not...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    PP was the fiscal watchdog position during the Harper administration. Which was among the best financially minded on earth at the time. Harper is still economically revered in most circles. Carney is being flouted due to the two “Bank of” leaderships he’s had as the financial port in the Trump...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    For those who likely don’t know (which is expected): That is Pierre Pollivere (PP), federal leader of the Conservative Party. Canada is in the midst of an election campaign, with voting on April 28. Our elections are shorter and much more erraticly timed than US ones. While probably somewhere...

    License plate capture on private driveway

    And with a chain, you can put multiple locks in as “links”. So if there is more than one group needing access, they all get their own lock and get added in. Some daisy chain the locks, some keep a few feet between them since some people don’t understand how to interconnect them and miss a lock...

    License plate capture on private driveway

    Well, sounds like the visitors are mostly the unsociable type anyways. Won’t stop a Jehova’s Witness from trying to spread the word, but for most na’er do wells be just fine. And use combination padlock instead of a keyed alike set. Easier for wanted guests or multiple landowner vehicles.

    License plate capture on private driveway

    Definitely gates for access control. You can say goodbye to your rights if they can prove unfettered access for over a year in some places. Just lock the gates at one end and use the other for a week at a time to start. And lock both ends Fri AM to Mon AM. People are creatures of habit and...

    Canada is swirling the toilet bowl..

    And Carney has been big behind the scenes for most of Trudeau’s time as PM. And they gave one of his firms Canada’s CPP fund (like social security) to manage just before Trudeau resigned. And a “major” erm, gun control activist has announced to run with the Liberal party. And likely be one the...

    Emergency Power/Storms/Prepping etc

    At $250, breaking it down for scrap should almost even out. Piston, head, maybe block likely aluminum. And other parts can sell as well, so no loss. Even the elbow grease time should be covered.

    Looking for low-light camera recommendation to use as navigation aid on a boat

    If you get an IR capable camera, get an IR spotlight or two. They’ll help light up the area, but only your cameras and anyone with Night Vision capabilities will be the only ones to see it.

    Laser/LED pointer prevention - please help!

    A trail cam or two might be in order. They can be discreetly placed, resistant to a lot of these efforts, and easily moved if you think they've been spotted. And secured by a light cable, preventing easy theft. Low cost solution. Or use an old cellphone as a camera.
