1. 4th motorcycle owned in 12 years - used to do 5-7k a year just in recreational riding (only 6 months of riding weather here in the midwest). Been covered since we found out we were pregnant with our first - can't bring myself to sell it though, and having a child makes you understand your not superman! Thanks for pointing out the obvious though that she hasn't been ridden in a bit ;-(
Great pictures. Just got a few ideas.
Thanks @Del Boy - The side camera isn't really about the bins, its actually about the door they sit in front of which is the side entry to the garage. If someone wants to go through our recycling by all means go ahead, there just going to get a ton of water bottles and empty canned goods. Also its sorta a catch 22 there. If I turn out to much I catch an overhang, the only option is to go more down, which cancels it out anyways and makes it worse. If I want I just need to put in a junction box and attach the camera to that which is what I did for the camera covering the front.
Motorcycles are in my blood @code2 - however, my father was stuck by an 82 year old legally blind lady that blew a red light 2 months before I was born and paralyzed from the waist down... I loved riding every minute, even made 6 trips to deals gap over the years, however I always said I wouldn't deprive my child of some of the things I was growing up because of my dads accident. Things like that put a lot into perspective, no mater how much passion you have.
Not how long you live but what you do with the time you have. Riding or not you can be killed walking out the front door now a days. your odds are about the same lol.
odds of being injured on a bike is MUCH higher than walking. Zero is doing right by his kid and family. Yes there is risk in everything buy why increase the risk. He is simply putting his child's interests before his own pleasure, very commendable.
Odds in IL, chicago especially your chances on a bike right now are less then being shot lol. Moving on from a convo between me and him tho back to the topic at hand.
Riding the bike does not magically eliminate the risk of being shot. It simply adds an additional risk.
@fenderman has it - garage camera is to watch overhead door as well as see who's home (what cars are in the garage). The outside camera is watching point of entry. Someone may decide to kick that side door in - that door alarm sensor is set to instant alarm thus if someone kicks it open, alarm sounds, and they run that camera gets them while the garage camera would not. Flip side is if the garage door is up/open and someone walks into my garage the garage camera gets them - or as stated above allows me to assure my wife got home when I am traveling over seas and there is a 12+hr time difference that doesn't permit me to call.
@OldStyle - yes sir, I ran all cable myself. All cable is in the attic space and or in the wall cavities. Nothing is exposed, and all is run back to the NVR which is concealed in a locked closet/cabinet.
I can see you're someone with an eye for detail. I am the same way. A few more questions for you if you don't mind. I recently purchased a new home, and it's unfortunately not wired for ethernet so I'm trying to get a few bids together. The attic has no insulation, so it's easy for me to crawl up there and have cables pulled. Since I can design it from scratch, do you recommend any particular setup methodology? I was thinking of having all the cables come towards a patch panel in a closet, and me setup my surveillance system there.
That would be the most logical thing to do. Makes life easier when everything is right there in one spot
