    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    We did the phantom doorbell thing once when staying over at a buddy's house. The thing was, he lived in the country, and it was his parents' house, the one we were staying at. I don't think the parents even noticed. :banghead:

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    So I think we're at End of Life for my Laview. It started doing the phantom rings again when it got super cold in January (-15°F). And after a few weeks off, I got it working again, and another cold snap last night (+10°F), did it twice again. I'm going to look into how feasible the POE...

    Chainsaws (Gas/Battery/Corded)???

    I almost bought one of those. I told myself it was unnecessary since I already have the dewalt saw.

    Chainsaws (Gas/Battery/Corded)???

    I love my battery Dewalt 12" bar saw. I love it if I just need to cut a few branches that are the size of my wrist, give or take. I always feel guilty starting my gas chainsaw for one measly cut. But if I'm going to do more than that I use my Stihl.

    Why work on Windows 12 when Windows 10/11 still isn't the perfect OS?

    My blueiris machine is Windows 11 and now my home automation NUC is too. It seems to be fine. There's a few little oddball things I prefer 10 over, but I don't really use those machines very often. My home laptop and my work laptop are both 10 and I prefer to keep them that way. My old...

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    My daughter actually asked me that yesterday at the grocery store. I think it was technically a teenaged male "goth" but he had his nails painted. She was confused, and I just changed the subject!

    BI, VPN and Unifi USG

    Just a follow up, nearly a year later . . . I was never able to get anywhere with the Unifi and Android disagreement over VPN's. I ended up going the Tailscale route, by following this video I am having to use the Blueiris app, and I can't do anything else VPN-wise on my network. But I am...

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    I"m all for spiking the football on failed DEI stuff, but what's the deal with this? Isn't Lebron ponying up some of his own money to help his hometown?

    If I Were a Racist...

    I didn't listen to it live, but I love that clip. And I love Paul Harvey. ...good dAY!

    2nd Amendment thread

    Most of those things are what makes shooting fun! The smell and the brass flying, especially. You know you've had a good weekend when your shooting shoulder is sore. Kinda like having a roughed up thumb from catching too many largemouthes.

    2nd Amendment thread

    I kinda want that gun. We had a family NERF war last night; that could really up my game!

    Best camera for garage?

    I also have an Amcrest PTZ, Amazon shows it as the IP2M-841EW. Been in the garage for 3.5 or 4 years now. My garage is 3 cars, so I put it in a spot that shows Stall 1&2, but can pan to Stall 3. I don't park anything in Stall 3, so I'm not super concerned with monitoring it all the time.

    Just dump it on the gravel road. Helps keep the dust down, or something ;)

    Blue Iris and Amazon Echo Show

    I've done that too. It seemed like some in this thread were not successful with this thing though.
