    Cuban Classic Cars

    The white car on the far right is probably a Soviet built Fiat called a Lada. Fairly recognizable with those Fiat horizontal, multicolored, blocky tailights and that black parallelogram on the C-pillar.

    The official "WTF" thread

    Yet another VTO, Home Assistant, Kwikset, DahuaVTO2MQTT discussion

    I agree that it can be quite confusing. Please see in post #8 of this thread the discussion of the utility called DahuaVTO2MQTT which "listens" for ONVIF events sent by the VTO (the video doorbell). One of the type of events it detects is when someone presses a button on the doorbell itself or...

    Bird Catches Bird

    Agree. Classic blue-gray color and has that distinct horizontal "zebra" striping and white terminal band on the tail feathers.
