Yes , yes . We have been here before . But these bargains won’t wait around forever !!

Fair enough if a sentimental journey . Using the same mind set could you not incorporate some walk on glazing ?

You could just get these made ( I know that would be too easy ) . I made my own cap stones for my wall . All was great but after 2 years just started crumbling . Found a company that will pretty well make what I want at a very reasonable price . But as we both know ; why make it easy when you can make it hard ! ( not a euphemism! )

Always assume it will move ( or be nudged ) so any brace / prop is always worth it . If you have a spare trestle you can strap it to that .

Not sure if anyone here is old enough to remember MSX . Once that failed they then tried MSX2 which failed . Admittedly the entire market is somewhat different today . But even with z wave different manufacturers devices ( supposedly adhering to the same standard ) can cause issues . I’ll certainly keep an eye on matter - and see where it is 12 months from now .

Fair enough . Tbh I had forgot about matter - read about it a while ago . That’s one of the reasons I choose a HA system that can use all technologies- though Of course Apple etc. May not want you going outside their eco system . Whilst I’m mainly zwave I’d happily add new devices via another method once it’s proven . I remember trying to do stuff with x10 … ??

I think ‘ analysis’ was the continuation of the scroll

Perhaps your radio station is wrong ?

Have to agree . You can wait forever . Until Apple/Google etc. Bother to Chuck large amounts of cash into this it will be a while . Home automation I think in the U.K. is still viewed as hobbyist/ nerdy apart from the absolute basics - like turning a light on from your phone .

I specifically used the modern net gear poe ones that don’t have a fan ( can dig up the exact model number ) only 24 ports . I daisy chain 3 together . Their power output can be increased simply by increasing the psu supplying it if you need more wattage .

I can see some pigeon poo that could be slipped on

Erm or just a small cup to scoop it out . Take 2 mins .

Or nice cleavage photos ??

True . But tbh 11 cameras at a lower frame rate would help . Also I can’t think of a reason why I’d want more than 2 weeks of recorded history I.e never away for more than 2 weeks . But otherwise for you it would be expensive

Yeah . I was just wondering how feasible it would be . Also if cloud based vps are backed up I.e so you can access the backup . Save a big chunk of cash on hardware but to spend it on monthly storage/ cpu .

Actually would it be practical to run the dvr software on a virtual private server ?

True . But I find the masking option can reduce this a bit . I did try a hikvision dvr and wasn’t that impressed . If you have ( or will have ) a nas - I think better to use that . I am using the Synology dvr software ( but you pay per camera ? ) but will change to blue iris later …

I’ve always found use-ip a good company . Good advice and I think they offer a 28 day ‘try before you buy ‘ type option .

You’ll need a poe switch though some recorders do provide it . You can’t go wrong with hikvision cameras . I’ve got 4 that have been recording continually to my Nas for a year now - no issues

We used IQglass . We liked the product ( but not the price ? ) . They have an amazing showroom to visit . Also our allocated project manager f’up things . He left the company sometime after . I complained about the issues he had caused . To give IQglass credit they did ( still are ) resolving them . So tbh I’m in 2 minds to recommend them . But felt I should be honest ?

As a mod in training I am recommending this thread now be locked . ??

Do they makes. xXXL version ?

You didn’t complain before

My penis usually hangs in the pan next door
