Welcome to this week's casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It's for talking about anything that doesn't justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like a hippo
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

I've only been looking at the Raspberry Cams for the moment, as my thinking was that I wanted to keep all the components as compatible as possible to make my life easier.

Though for security cameras, maybe @[email protected] would have better knowledge around what is good out there?

I don't know much about rPi specific models. For outdoor security cams I always go wired with PoE IP cams that at least have an RTSP stream, that way most standalone NVR software can work with them.

Not a fan of wireless/battery security cameras. I do have one wireless indoor cam, but it's only to check on the toddler when she's sleeping, it doesn't record so no constant stream of data. I think I'm using a cheapie Amcrest out front, I haven't really looked at cameras in awhile. Dahua's are often recommended on places like ipcamtalk.com, but you need to look at specific models as there are a lot of them.

Did a quick look on some forums and did see a lot of mentions of Dahua. I'll hopefully move to a a Poe setup in the near future.
