    Ford Sues Restoration Company For Making New Broncos Look Old

    Choosing Door bell camera

    I’m partial to the Lorex DB cams mostly because I live in a hot tropical environment and white finishes tend to absorb less heat. https://www.lorex.com/collections/doorbells One can pick them at half off during black Friday or Cyber Monday

    +1 Tailscale. Works automagically! I just tested with Starlink Mini. I can VPN into my entire home network and stream live video from my OTA antenna HDHomeRun box.

    Question: If you have an alarm set for 1:59a and clocks automatically roll back 1 hour from 2a to 1a, does the alarm go off twice?

    Daylight Savings. How did everyone's cameras do?

    IP cameras are not the issue. It’s the [redacted] coffee maker, stove, microwave, DECT phone system, dash cams, car clock.

    Lorex model B451AJDB-E installation issues

    @Alan_Hepburn Yeah, Lorex will claim they have not tested your transformer, thus claim it's not compatible. Maybe temporarily use the USB power to rule out the transformer as a contributor. Also, if you do use a transformer not connected through an existing mechanical or electronic chime...

    Lorex model B451AJDB-E installation issues

    @Alan_Hepburn Sounds like your phone tries to automatically switch back to your home wifi when it detects no internet connection when connected to the device wifi. Have you tired to disable automatically reconnect to your home wifi?

    Lorex model B451AJDB-E installation issues

    My recollection is both the Chime and Doorbell need to connect to your WiFi. Not each other, but it’s been awhile for me

    Amcrest camera looses time and date

    I run a GPS+PPS Stratum 0 NTP source for <$50 on my local network and a firewall rule to redirect all client NTP requests to the my local NTP server. Ensures all clients have the exact same time (<2 usec offset/jitter) even when WAN is down, and avoids flooding public NTP servers with NTP...

    I've had two older WolfBox 850's (4K+1K) rear view mirror cams since December 2022. I picked them up half price on Amazon Prime day. Only issue was it took about a year to finally get them to update the firmware after I reported multiple times the on display compass heading for NE (would...

    Starlink - anyone have it?

    I'd be interested if anyone has any experience with the Starlink Mini. I am considering having Santa deliver one to my sister and BnL, who spend a lot of time on the road in their Class A Thor motor coach.

    Apple TV Viewing of Cam Streams?

    I do not have a single native HomeKit compatible home automation device, so I run an instance of Homebridge on a box running Ubuntu.

    iOS Versus Android

    Those reports came out during a time when Samsung devices were catching on fire on airplanes and causing great bodily injury. So Apple likely performed a risk assessment on current products and elected to reduce the liability risk. As a shareholder, that was the correct move IMHO. If you believe...

    how easy is it to set up TailScale ?

    @Heavyopp I don't use BI or UI3, but you only need one instance of Tailscale running behind or on your firewall if you advertize sub-net routes. Then you can access any device using the private IP address assigned by your local network (not the TS assigned IP), including any web applications...
