I really appreciate you taking the time to provide the additional details. These kinds of bread crumbs help me a great deal in knowing where to look to continue learning from others and really helps to feed my enjoyment and continued education.
Oh ok, thank you. I thought it was specific hardware which I think got my search focused around Star Trek display replicas.
I do see this is the same thing I read about and watched a video of but it is in English, I’m not sure why I had trouble finding something in English, anyway, I can’t wait to try getting this implemented. I really appreciate you sharing.
Do you have a good source in English? I’m looking for some nice panel solutions but what I found so far is a guy that did a complete EIB install with touch screen and is in German. I’d really like better touchscreen HUD access to my home assistant and haven’t made much progress from the information I’ve found myself.
I got insurance. I’d help load the truck rather than get shot if someone broke into my house and I was home. This has mostly been a fun project hobby that I can continuously tinker with while working in my office from home. I’ve had a lot of trouble finding a hobby I’m able to stick to that is mentally challenging and rewarding to me. The progressive learning has been great and has me excited to continue with further integration. That said. I will have evidence for police and insurance. I also enjoy watching the deer and other wildlife without going outside which tends to change their behavior.
That was one of my attempts at playing my hand that I was being sarcastic. I tinker with the shit weekly and yes it is way beyond what any reasonable person should be expected to invest or understand. It’s just become a hobby of mine and I was trying to be funny, which I’m not very good at.
The only part I coded was sending the api calls to cameras to turn on/off siren mode. I relied on a lot of other folks reverse engineering to help me along.
Also, thank you, that’s nice to hear from someone in that line if business
I was making a joke using the absurdity of what I put together as a hobby project over the past couple years as an example to reinforce the comment I replied to. I’ve spent my whole career in IT and it’s absurd the level of knowledge a lot of career or even hobbyist IT folks expect the general public to have.
My generator cost $8k installed.
I ran all the cables myself, still cost $1k for the materials.
Doorbell camera $200.
PoE cameras averages to $174 each or ~$2,500
UPS’s: $300 combined
MiniPC: $500
Cage and mounts: $150
Isolated cameras: $30 ea
SD cards: $15 ea
All told I have over $13k invested easily and it would easily be over twice as much without knowing how to do it myself. Anyone giving folks shit for using WiFi security systems is out of touch.
I don’t know why everyone doesn’t do what I did. I have a WiFi doorbell camera but I also have 13 other cameras that cover the entire perimeter of my house connected to a PoE switch. My switch is on an UPS and connected to an outlet my natural gas generator cutover powers. My office (includes my miniPC running HAOS and frigate) is also on an UPS plugged into outlets my generator cutover powers in a locked cage inside a vented drawer with a 120mm exhaust fan to keep air circulation going in the drawer. All motion is recorded and saved to my local NAS (that is in the same locked cage) for 30 days and it syncs the recordings directory to the cloud. I have isolated cameras that look like usb chargers that record motion on a loop to 128GB micro sd cards aimed at all entry/exit points, hallways, and points is interest. Everything is pretty much set it and forget it. I get notified of any motion on my property regardless of my location and the jpeg captures are immediately sent to a dedicated email I setup should something unforeseen happens to the recorded video. If my or my partners cell phone is not on the WiFi all the cameras (except the doorbell and isolated ones) are set to siren mode on movement detection and they are surprisingly loud especially if two or three are going off at once.
Agreed, I take showers in the morning but sometimes I’ll end the night with a really hot bath, it helps my body not hurt in the morning if I’ve been working hard that day. I will take a piss before I get in the tub but I’ll be damned if I don’t almost always pee some while I’m laying in the tub relaxing. It’s never seemed to be anything to give a shit about to me but some people do seem hyper sensitive to that kind of thing. My partner and I have peed while in the bathtub together before and it didn’t gross either of us out. Maybe it would be more gross if our urine was dark yellow or more noticeable beyond feeling the warmth for less than a minute.
I’ve never felt any feeling about being at a cemetery. I performed hundreds of funeral services and it never came up with any of us doing them and we talked about so much shit being stuck together for over a year more or less with exception to a few rotations. I’m unreasonably curious how common/uncommon to feel uncomfortable in graveyards now.
The guy doing the bribing is never dumb enough to take over maintaining it though 8(
This can’t be real, at no point could any sane person look at that and think, whelp, my job here is done.
I got kids, I’ll get you a sandwich and water while you wait outside but I don’t know them just like I don’t know any other stranger that showed up unannounced, that I would also not let in. If it was just me I have a higher risk tolerance, it’s going to be pretty close to zero when I have others who are dependent on me under my care. Sorry, not sorry.
I’m still getting my feet wet with HAOS. Mainly got it for frigate but I’ve been trying to do more and more with it every week and I think I’m way over my head lol. It seems really cool if you know how to make everything work but I’m still trying to figure out so much I end up having to walk away and come back to it later after getting confused. It’s helped a bit to start writing out what I’m trying to do on paper and tinker with things while keeping notes.
Mine has a cat and a dog
Creating drafts for white papers my boss asks for every week about stupid shit on his mind. Used to take a couple days now it’s done in one day at most and I spend my Friday doing chores and checking on my email and chat every once in a while until I send him the completed version before logging out for the weekend.
I’m glad you found my comment hilarious. I found the title hilarious, fortunately the article has a better one.
Humans are just as much part of nature as everything else
