Hi everyone Mark from little old rural Oamaru, South Island, New Zealand here. I have been using the forum for the last several months but hadn't yet introduced myself. I live a busy life trying to do 2 jobs. Driving, and part time working on a farm. I have only recently got into an interest in security cameras. Never really needed them here until this country started going soft on crime and keeping the crims out of jail. New Goverment are all about rehabilitation. I do home installs of cameras for friends and people i meet out on my job.
Worked for Telecom, Waitaki Power and Stats NZ. I have a degree in computing and IT. I have an interest in Home Theatre so designed my own. Still working on upgrading it but Andy here has diminished my funds. I like building and challenging things. We have crap internet as i live out of town on a rural hobby farm which used to be a poultry farm was only getting 5Mb download and not even 1 up as all we had was the old copper network from many years ago. Have just upgraded that to 4G which is slightly better mostly runs 30MB downolad 3-4 upload. I don't think Chorus the new division of Telecom have any interest in putting out this way as not cost effective enough. So stuck with this now until Starlink improve.
Had a bad reaction with the Pfizer vaccine which ended up giving me a seizure so not allowed to drive for 12 months unless overturned by Neurosurgon. One of the unlucky 5% of people that have reactions. The health system here sucks so i have lost a considerable amount of my income for the year. Health system here sucks and don't want to know about it. Business force it on you to keep you job and when it turns to shit they don't want to know you.
For a month there after the brain was pretty hazy but its pretty clear now, must have reset it and cleared a lot of shit out of it because for some reason the brain just feels more switched on.
Not much to do in Oamaru it is a small town and hardly any shops with staff that sell shit gear and have little knowledge of technology so all my gear I have to import.
I love my coffee and am always up for a good yarn.
Live close to the road not to much traffic but the roads are shit and my sheds are easily accessed so have had to take several several more precautions since crime increased and govt let all the crims back in to the country.
Andy has kindly provided with enough gear to sink a battleship now upgrades are alreay planned.
Any one interested in a holiday in New Zealand message me. You wont find me anywhere else as don't do social media other than this and audio forum. Have a spare room for any member wanting a holiday, security check pending
