    I need more hobbies.. Working on a PVC post discrete camera housing... (a better birdhouse)

    I had some camera mounts printed out in black ABS (black ABS has no tints so as to dilute the filament). Roughed them up with some 120 grit sandpaper and gave them two coats of white spray paint (doing some more work with the sandpaper after the first coat was dry). The printers added a hole...

    I have survived another national blackout here in Cuba

    I have voltage protectors on all the appliances (split ACs, fridges, etc) so they're safe. A small investment which I'm sure has saved me money. A couple years ago, we had an electrical storm and my transformer started pushing out 135v on each phase. That seemed to fry a couple of LED bulbs...

    I have survived another national blackout here in Cuba

    I can't say exactly how many but many countries suffer from intermittent blackouts whether regional or larger. Lima, Peru recently lost power in a large scale. Folks I know in Mexico, Honduras, African countries are used to power outages of some scale. Even Nigeria with it's massive oil...

    Canada is swirling the toilet bowl..

    Yeah, I'm not a fan either. He's renouncing his Irish and UK citizenships and will pay Prime Minister while licking the king's (I don't capitalize titles of the monarchy) boots.

    Not a fan of Mark Carney but the linked post in inaccurate. Mark Carney is Canadian and was the 8th governor of the Bank of Canada. So, yeah, he has been involved in Canada lol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Carney

    I have survived another national blackout here in Cuba

    Shit happens and it happens all too frequently here. The national grid went for a dump (again) for the 3rd time in 6 months. I'm not counting the downtime from the hurricane as that happens anywhere a major storm hits. The official explanation is that a substation in a municipality of Havana...

    Go Away!

    I live in the Caribbean and we're currently suffering 18C. That's 64 Bald Eagles per Thermal Rise for the 'Muricans.

    Jamal robs my elderly neighbor

    After installing my original system (12x 2.8mm cams), I quickly realized that what goes on OUTSIDE my property is not only a precursor to what's going to happen ON my property....but it's also infinitely more interesting in terms of people watching! One of these days, I'm going to get around to...

    Color 4k-x 6mm -- Half view out of focus/Blurry

    I've had this issue when I've replaced some of the lenses in my cameras with M12 lenses. If the lens is cross-threaded (easy to do as the thread is very fine), the image becomes blurry on one side. Seems like this slipped through quality assurance. One of my cams is like this. It's a 4K/X...

    Looking for someone to assemble and ship a PC

    It sounds like iGPU will work okay. As I'm looking to move to Frigate, buying a system for the future is becoming a bit of a challenge.

    Looking for someone to assemble and ship a PC

    I've seen people saying that they've gotten the Coral down to 6ms. I think they're using a D1 substream @ 3fps to 5fps. Is rather buy a $60 dual Coral than a much more expensive, and more energy consuming, GPU. I can make the transition slowly from my NVR and slowly add cams. It will be a...

    4 mm replacement lens for DS-2CD2546G2-IS (2,8 mm)

    I've replaced several lenses in my Dahua cameras and I can't imagine that Hik would be any different. AliExpress and Amazon have TONNES of M12 lenses of varying quality. I would suggest trying to match the F-stop as closely as possible to the original lens. And buy a "4K" lens. It's not...
