Don’t you dare ! . You swap to even more expensive Ubiquiti like I have !

(expletive deleted) it ! g4 pro off eBay new stupid (expletive deleted)ing chime from Amazon used cloud key off eBay . Thats an expensive (expletive deleted)ing doorbell

Ffs ! the UniFi g4 does it all - even the chime is poe ! So perfect ! But I’m not paying £200 for the (expletive deleted)ing protect bs

Probably just buy a BS brand off Amazon - test it for 28 days then send it back as “ reason for return “ - shite

Yeah , I don’t need their cloud shite . Just want to treat it as a normal camera and record / spy via frigate and home assistant. (expletive deleted)ing Amazon shite .

Ring elite is poe so I assume uses that for power and data . But it’s pricey for a (expletive deleted)ing doorbell Also after more reading it would appear ring video streams aren’t accessible locally I.e no rtsp/url like normal but accessed via their ( amazon! ) cloud shite . So less keen on ring now . Regarding usb - can just stick an adaptor on the poe to take it to usb-c / micro whatever . Just want a (expletive deleted)ing chime that works - bastard things .

Ok - I give up on the reolink . For the love of Jesus it won’t maintain a consistent connection to the chime . I have the chime places as near as is possible to the front door ( less than 2m ) . App says it’s all fine of course . Whilst I can get it to usually trigger a home assistant event so that perhaps Alexa makes an announcement there’s no feed back of this at the door bell . So ! As this appears to be the only poe one ( apart from ubitique - cost too high as need cloud key ) looking at ring . I can poe to usb so I don’t have to rely on battery . Anyone with a ring on permanent charge see any issues ? - I assume it’s not a problem . Or indeed any other video doorbells that can be powered of usb . Googling seems a bit random / unhelpful on how some of the less well known brands are powered .

Been hosing that corner like it’s the end of the world . Many times a day since Friday . Yet to reproduce any leak at all ! . Not 100% convinced yet but …… getting there ……

Never been asked this question 🙄

Excuse me ! . After 10 yrs + on my build I ain’t no amateur - I’m a (expletive deleted)ing legend !

I am ! Might take me a while . I laser’d , spirit level and a line thru - did that on every block . Paranoia about going wobbly was too much ! Blockwork king 💪🩲

Look , look ! I did straight ( ish ) and level ( ish ) blockwork !

Hosed the corner this morning. Made the tinniest damp area appear . So small it didn’t even form a droplet of water . So a bit more investigation required .

It’s at the end of the run and about 7ft up on a long skinny lane . So I’ll never see it . Just wanted a proper solution . Technically water could run over the side I.e bypass any drip channel , yeah ?

🙄 you reckon ? . I reckon ; YES !

I have 2 everything presence ones covering the lounge area . So both need no detection for lights to go off . Been about 3 months now - 100% success .

Yeah - those copings were ‘ as supplied ‘ . I might deepen and widen the drip channel and cap the end . Too scared to not implement everything

So many jokes there ….

I could do . Just assumed a ‘cap’ was better …

I could try 3d printing something . Modelling the shape though will be difficult ( for me ! ) . But then it could be a continuous ‘cap’ ebt stuck down .

Was dry so repeated the soaking . Problem is just sweat on my fingers makes it tricky ! Will check inside in 10 mins

Bone dry today as expected inside . Just hosed the entire corner making sure it spills over the coping stone . Will wait 10 mins . Check inside . If dry will repeat .

I hosed the other side of the coping but made sure some ran onto this side . It does seem to get across the drip channel . So I think I do need something covering this entire end and directing all water away .

😊 - good measurements 🫤🤔 I did look at this type of thing - not sure if it’s practical for what I want . To do a neat job with it might be tricky .

I *think* rainwater is getting in under / around it . Have cemented any gaps I can find but would prefer a ‘cap’ to fully cover it and force water to run off it completely.
