I did some IP wire-shark snooping a while back and found that my cameras had unexpected behavior that included vendor specific IP signaling, address assignment, and spoofing the gateway IP address. No concerns with the vendor, was for ease of configuration including IP address assignment, but it...

True. There were also savings related to lower materials cost of fiber, unneeded aggregates, and less skill so higher chance of success.

Just finished connecting my detached garage to the house using 10G Ethernet over multi-mode OM3 fiber. The cost difference between copper and fiber was not a big deal. Fiber has less cost these days although SFP+ equipment may be slightly more because it usually supports 2.5G ports in addition...

Currently evaluating AOMEI and Macrium . For some reason chose to start with AOMEI. Great user interface. I paid for a license and then found that, by re-installing their licensed program, the restore process required a license key. Doh. Lots of workarounds but this restore behavior is not...

Darn. Very interested in what dryfly eventually chooses.

Sorry, don't post often but lurk a bunch. Thought you may like another option: Acronis True Image. Macrium Reflect looks perfect. Must have features, in my deployment, are: Create images of running Windows OS, Bare metal restore to dissimilar hardware, File and folder level backup and recovery...

Have a Linux SBC attached to sensors that monitor my double garage as a standalone application. Looking to have BlueIRIS record sensor events in the camera timeline as a first step towards integration and eventually a dashboard. This is all I need for now. I assume that adding a Python MQTT...

Thought I'd provide data to help with your decision. I was in an almost identical situation as recently as a month ago. BTW, my PoE is a USD$50 MokerLink 8 Port PoE Switch with 2 Gigabit Uplink Ports, PoE Plus 802.3af/at, 120W Built-in Power, Extend to 250Meter, Metal Plug & Play. AKA Junk. I...

Already have 2x VTO2202F-P purchased from you a while back. They still work great with the latest firmware when using a VTH monitor. I need to set a motion alarm for deliveries, trespassers, and delivery thieves. Will purchase 2x IPC-T5442T-ZE plus NVR (new or re-conditioned) when the sale...

Do facts even matter? Seems like this is all just persuasion. I think Scott Adams is right when he says we're witnessing hypnotism … an art of reinforcing what people already believe and then manipulating it. Maybe we all have to become trained hypnotists simply because educators have ruined...

II just invested dollars, which don't make sense, in digital currency based on nothing but prime numbers. Collectively they are worth trillions but realistically have no real value whatsoever. I think central bankers are having a laugh.

Doesn't seem possible for an entire economy, a psychology engine, to be based on theft by gangsters but here we are. Just for reference in Beijing the urban monthly dibao basic income is 1050 RMB ($161.50 USD) and the rural standard is 800 RMB ($123.04 USD). For urban residents this is about...

Yup. Whatever label you want to use, Marxocrats is good, since they are centralizing power, control, and money. They are following that guys' manifesto playbook to the letter. It's worth knowing just to understand the strategy.

As a foreign observer, which means I know very little about politics, I get the sense that all media is deliberately separating people who are easily influenced or coerced from, well, others. They are establishing control using these people as a resource to overcome any opposition. The scope is...

Yes, that's what everyone should do. Agreed. Sorry if it seems I was suggesting anything else. I have no dog in the Trump fight. Notice that republicans tend to favor systems and that these systems are failing because the new aristocracy is based mostly, not solely at the moment, on power...

Sorry if I am intruding but isn't this idea considered true regardless of party affiliation? I ask because the same is happening all across the west. I may be wrong but it seems like western banking and economic systems had officially gone off the rails more than a decade ago, well before COVID...

I just received a pair of nRF24L01+PA+LNA radio modules and will compare to existing Nighthawk R7000 running DD-WRT in repeater bridge mode. It has been running for a month without permanent failure. DD-WRT recovers from WiFi connection failure but the microcontroller drops ping and HTTP web...

Have been tweaking a remote WiFi monitoring system for a couple of years to get my system near 100% reliable. Garage sensors are 30' from the house and lose network connection every once in a while. Not a big deal because the garage system is self contained and I only drop web page updates...

Right now I'm testing with esplink. It is running MQTT, a WiFi to UART bridge, a web server, OTA flash update, WiFi AP, and a web based logging application. It uses only half of the available 1M flash. Configuration is over the air from my phone. It acts like an open WiFi AP by default when...

Here is a picture that shows the size differences between a 2.4" touchscreen, a raspberry pi zero, an ESP-01S module with separate programmer, and ESP-WROOM development module. I'm impressed by the ESP-01S module given its very tiny size. For my application I intend to squeeze an IRM-03-3.3...

If you haven't already run across these Andreas Spiess YouTube videos then you may find them useful. The amount of integration shown in #352 is cool but insane. He goes all-in with docker microservices. It may work some of the time, maybe even most of the time, but I'm skeptical this is anywhere...

Integrating a thermocouple would be a fun project. Maybe a digital sensor like BME280 or BMP280 would work too.

I run a Netgear R7000 router with TomatoUSB Firmware 1.28.0000 -138 K26ARM USB VPN-64K. It's getting a bit ancient like its owner. TomatoUSB has AdBlock built-in and I assume operates much like other DNS blockers. Its currently configured to get rid of anything related to facebook, instagram...

ESP32 are good devices for this application. Software is flashed directly onto the device so no SD card is needed plus it has built in wireless and bluetooth. Espressif has also implemented a simple wireless protocol so no need to mess with IP to get sensors to signal each other or a base unit...

My parents ran a family farm. The bad people in the community were pure evil when drunk. I can easily imagine myself in that dudes shoes. My house looks the part. I'll work on it :headbang: Exactly. That's why I feel they were LARPing. Too many people and too elaborate. Like a bad Hollywood...

My retirement occupation is urban farming and self-renovating this 1950s house. If you look at the link above you'd think the gingerbread man lives in it. :) My car is 25 years old. That someone would be violent in order to steal something I have is hard to fathom. I understand your thinking but...

Right now the best I can do is provide an annotated grainy cropped still frame from a neighbor's house. There is too much identifying information otherwise. From other videos it appears that one of the group had a cell phone with a very bright display. This person hid behind a car across the...

I believe you are exactly right that I need to be less of a target. I could maybe nail the dead corpses of my enemies to the walls of my home? :) JK Or the priority, in order, is additional fencing for more controlled access to the property, then lighting and motion detection, then a couple...

My house is tiny. It looks tidy and possibly a place to steal tools from the garage or whatever. I'll post video or stills if the cops agree and you will see how elaborately these twerps appear to have planned. The entire thing is too dramatic … like watching Oceans 11 or something; possibly a...

Tonight my property was invaded by a gang of five. Two were posted as lookouts at the front door, one near the corner of the property, while two checked the garage door. It appears the fifth was a lookout at the side of my corner lot (not sure). Got notified of motion on my property. I...
