    Andy, when will you have the lottery prize list available?

    I bet a lot of you belong to the "HVAC crapped out at the worst time" club.

    Any affiliation with the South Harmon Institute of Technology?

    Got a call from my lady friend last night. She got home from work and her house was 81 degrees. Luckily it was just the capacitor and I was able to get one on short notice. I went ahead and ordered one to keep on the shelf for my house, because that's how the timing on these things work.

    Same gallon of gas in 4 or 6 cylinder

    My theory has always been that they size the tank to get you 300 miles. No bigger, no smaller.

    Camera in hot Texas attic? Will it last?

    Wouldn't it just be easier to get a remote temp/hygrometer?

    Looking for advice on my install locations.

    If it weren't for a couple of the trees, I would have more freedom with the upper level of the house, but planning around them, and their growth, limits me a bit.

    Yea, I like the look of my house, but the lack of gables complicates things like this and Christmas lights... I still have ethernet at the upper soffit location, so trying it there is still a possibility, but wanted to have a back up plan in case it was less than ideal. I would prefer it up...

    Same as where the mini PTZ is now. See my picture above.

    Looking for advice on my install locations.

    I've thought about asking the neighbors if I could set up wireless bridges and hang cameras off of their houses, but I always figure they will say no... Here is the front of my house. The mini PTZ used to be in the corner with the green circle on the upper soffit. Here is a video with it...

    Looking for advice on my install locations.

    It's really there, or nowhere. Everything else is behind that point and would have poor line of site with the house or trees. The only other option is on the second story soffit, but I tried that with my mini PTZ and obviously moved it down. However, this was before I removed the tree though, so...

    Relation to the road/sidewalk, for reference. That tree is no longer there.

    Looking for advice on my install locations.

    I would be looking to replace the mini PTZ with the larger PTZ. Thoughts on having it this close to the ground? It's maybe 11'

    Looking for advice on my install locations.

    For sure. No one thinks twice about cameras at stores, why can't I protect my stuff? Or any second thoughts about the FLOCK cameras tracking your every move around town. If I had a bunch of Ring cameras with solar panels, would that be ok?

    Looking for advice on my install locations.

    Yea, that's where I am with it. It's at a high potential of recognize, but not enough to ID, necessarily. I have some thoughts I am going to try tonight, but who knows if they will work. My street is dark. No street lights, only the coach lights next to the garage doors on the houses and not...

    "I want 2.8mm cameras everywhere to see everything..." - This is why you need specific FOVs with purposeful focal lengths.

    I added some videos to the top of the first post from my old set up, showing how bad the captures were.
