    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    I received another one today. I tried to reuse the base and just screw the new illuminator on, but apparantly they changed the post threads from metric to standard pitch. Also, they are now using an all plastic jamb nut with plastic threads! I couldn't get it tight enough to hold solid, and...

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    This illuminator just went out on me a couple of nights ago. I just checked power at the connector and found only 4vdc, so I thought maybe just the plug in transformer failed. I wired in another 12vdc 1000ma transformer I had lying around, and now I have proper voltage to the illuminator, but it...

    Starlink satellite internet

    Yeah, I use zerotier for cameras. Works great, but no full access to my lan from the outside. I will have to do some learning on ipv6, as I've heard t mobile uses it. Starlink was supposed to, but it was was very unreliable.

    Starlink satellite internet

    Well, after 2.5 years of using Starlink, I think I can say it's a pretty decent setup for those who have no other options for high speed internet. I've had a few small outages, but it has been very reliable, with speeds greater than I needed. However, I may be moving on. 5G has finally come to...

    Blue Iris suddenly says it's in evaluation mode, and I have no more days left.

    Mine also did this at exactly 6am this morning on live view and recordings. The 'About' tab showed my expiration date as the last time it expired. I looked in my email for the last key code and it fixed it. The message on the screen about evaluation was an inconvenience, sure. But it did not...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    It's a useful device to turn non smart switches or sensors into smart ones. It has inputs for switches or even temp sensors, and an independent solid state dry contact relay built in. I currently have a dumb doorbell connected to one, and Hubitat sends me a push notification when someone pushes...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    When I get a little free time, I plan to open up the plug in chime to see what the circuit board looks like. I may tap into the speaker output with a Fibaro Smart Implant (zwave) to bring the db alerts into my home automation (Hubitat).

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Mine too. I would rather have more view of the deck floor than the deck ceiling. I may get one of those 3d printed shims for vertical adjustment.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    I will get some tonight when i get home. I realized when I posted that I never took any pictures of the completed install.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    I got mine installed yesterday. Overall I'm very happy with it. I have it set up on my camera VLAN, and had the router assign it an ip address. It has never been exposed to the internet, so I can confirm it is possible to set this db up locally. I'm actually surprised at the image quality in the...

    The Unabomber died in prison...

    Like that scumbag Boston Marathon bomber that made it on a magazine cover and all the girls were going crazy for him. I don't get it either.

    Agreed on most of that. But there are several documented encounter cases, while unproven, are not able to be disproven or explained either. Many of which are from reputable people in positions of power which would not benefit from telling their story- the opposite, actually. It may taint their...

    UFOs, Extraterrestrials, Advanced Technology and Other Associated Weirdness

    81 percent of adults believe in God... with zero proof, just as there is zero proof of alien existence. Yet the talk of possible alien existence is still considered crazy or irrational. With the size of the known single plane universe, the science part of me refuses to believe that this young...

    UFOs, Extraterrestrials, Advanced Technology and Other Associated Weirdness

    One theory is that the pilots/bodies that visit earth are inorganic clones of the actual aliens. Similar to how we are trying to make AI currently. The aliens might just control them. An unmanned craft can only fly here. It cannot walk around or do anything. Hence the need for bodies. There is...

    Burying CAT6 in pvc conduit- direct burial rated cable needed?

    I think I know what everyone will say- use direct burial rated cable because the pvc conduit will inevitably fill with water, but I am asking anyway. I am going to dig a shallow trench from my house out to my mailbox (about 110 yards) to put a couple of cameras out there and bury a 1 inch pvc...

    Dahua and internet: What are the shades of grey?

    If your router doesn't do vpn, you can use a raspberry pi or an always on cpu in your network to set one up with openvpn. Or a new router with built in openvpn are a little over $100. Or ZeroTier.

    Remote Cameras On Starlink

    If recording is important to you, you might be better off running 2 seperate instances of Blue Iris. It will be more reliable. If you record the cameras locally, you eliminate the risk of missed recordings if either internet connection goes down. It will be clunky going between 2 servers to...

    Remote Cameras On Starlink

    Looks like I read it too fast, I thought all cams were on one physical network with BI. In theory, it should still work how you need it, but maybe not at full quality streams. You are going to be at the mercy of your internet speeds. You will be downloading 2 main streams and possibly 2...

    Remote Cameras On Starlink

    This is basically how I have mine set up too. You will not be able to access your full LAN as you would with a traditional VPN, but you will be able to access your Blue Iris webserver. In order for this to be possible, you will need to go into your webserver settings in BI and set your WAN ip...

    Remote Cameras On Starlink

    Zerotier. It's free and easy to use. Lots of people here are using it. I have used it on my Starlink connection for a couple of years now. There are several setup tutorial videos online with step by step instructions.

    Recommended VLAN routers in 2023

    I have not. I can't use a vpn: Starlink uses cgnat, so I don't have a public ip address that is routable from the internet. I currently use zerotier for remote viewing of cameras, which works pretty good.
