Any recommendations for good open protocol cameras? I heard about Reolink cameras, are they ok? I need them to be Ethernet and be able to stream with RTP/RTSP and expose some sort of API for control/monitoring. And not depend on cloud, if possible. Thanks.
I’ve had exclusively Amcrest’s in the past, but for my new house bought some rebadged Dahua’s from empire tech. Only set one up so far but seems good too! Reolink often keeps some pretty damn impressive pricing for their feature set, too.
VPN sure, but if he’s using a VPN then all visible torrent activity should be terminated at the VPN server correct? Assuming they aren’t installing management software on whatever endpoint device OP is using, how would they be able to view the specific traffic between him and whatever VPN server he is using?
In any case, I would agree with another poster that Linux ISO’s and cars to a seedbox and then transfer via SFTP would be the best route.
I get that - I was just confused at your “torrents would be detected” comment. I understand using a VPN would be visible and may be against whatever TOS they have.
Nothing like a week and a half notice, eh? I honestly don’t care for how much control over the internet Cloudflare has, but I’ve been extremely happy with them since transferring my domains over to them a few years back.
My old laptop died so I took the SSD from it in hope to use it as external drive. I wanted to just overwrite it with dd for security but I decided to go with f3 as that would also give me the opportunity to test the drive. Sadly, bad results came back...
Ooooph. Owning both a modded to the nines Ender 3 v2 and a vCore 3.1, there’s a part of me that wants to add the simplicy and MMU functionality of the X1C to the mix at some point…but this is uhhhhhhh scary. No thank you lol!!
This is sorta where I’m at. It’s not an apples to apples thing I get that, and while I don’t have a Prusa their standing in the 3d printing community is straight up legendary I know.
Wish it were a hair cheaper, because $1,300 assembled with enclosure kit (to make it as close to, say, X1C as possible) is still a bitter pill when only $200 more gets you abrasive printing ability, larger build volume, faster still, 4 color MMU, etc.
There is the quality angle, and the angle that a Prusa is conceivably infinitely repairable…which is a big deal. Just wish it were a few hundred cheaper to sort of compensate or allow for some of those upgrades.
My automatic dog feeders work great but only hold enough food for a few days so I designed and printed a funneling system and a resovoir to hold the entire bag so all I have to do is fill the resovoir when I get a new bag. Works great....
I actually like the new better than the old… particularly the mobility piece. Although like another poster said an indicator or something would’ve been nice as I’ve definitely screwed a handful of jumps up. But as the game leans more and more info mobility it’s a welcome touch I feel. I really love his passive low health enemy highlighting, and I like his ult ok too.
Just cleaned out mt garage, closet, and attic. No clue why I kept every single box of anything electronic/tech based in the last ten years. I just tossed boxes for phones I haven’t had in years, old CPU and heat sync boxes, boxes for 100mbps nics, old modems I don’t have anymore. I’ve never needed any of these and have...
I’m looking for security cameras that will integrate with my home server and nas. I want ones that record to my nas without some BS subscription service, and ideally run FOSS server logic I can deploy on my server. I’ve got one camera now that sorta does what I want, except the software isn’t FOSS and I’ve been unable to...
These are all pretty good suggestions…a few points I’d add based solely on my personal experiences:
A lot of Amcrest’s cameras are pretty solid for the price too. I’ve recently ordered some rebadged Dahuas from empire tech and haven’t used them a ton but so far I’m thinking I’ll really like them.
Check out night color cameras. They’re not as “discreet” potentially as they generate their own visible light if it’s pitch black out, but to me that’s actually another security benefit…and the night time performance can be amazing.
Blue Iris is another pretty great piece of software. Super cheap for what it offers, and while it’s a little more resource heavy being a full fledged NVR, you can pair it with things like Codeproject.ai and get some amazing results.
Double down on getting rid of wifi, if at all possible, and through any and every means possible. I too was initially pretty set on the convenience of wifi, but mixing wifi and cameras just never ends up in a great experience from everything I’ve ever had experience with. The absolute best I’ve ever seen is just “ok”, and usually it’s substantially worse.
