I thought discord streaming was so dumb until I was trying to reach my friend something in a game. Now we use it a couple times per month, it’s great. I hate that I like Discord lol

Sure, I just figured if it worked well with 8 it would work well with 4 + 1 unoptimized stream. If it doesn’t work, I can just spend $40 on a coral

I was planning on an Intel CPU that was recommended when I was putting my list together which I was told could handle detection up on to 8 cameras without issue (so I could skip the Coral all together)

Ahh gotcha, didn’t consider that! I’ll have to make sure my processor is up for the task. I think it will be…I’m doing 4 cameras + doorbell max and buying a NUC

Are you running them with Frigate? I was thinking the lack of substream wouldn’t be a problem because the frigate server could downscale if needed (but I haven’t really looked into it yet)

I thought Reolink cameras were just rebranded Amcrest…or is it just the chips and lenses?

I will be using them with Frigate so I’m not too worried about the janky software unless it affects how Frigate operates

Thanks for the feedback, I’ll keep them on my list. I wasn’t considering the PTZ cameras just the inexpensive turrets and plan on running them PoE so it looks like those issues won’t affect me!

I thought the doorbell camera worked great with frigate, is that not the case? I don’t have a need for cameras yet but that was on my shopping list…all cameras will be on a locked down vlan so it’s fine if it TRIES to phone home if it still works “offline”

Amcrest gets recommended a lot but I have no personal experience with them

I did not install SANs, I built racks for AV so the only drives were NAS/mini PCs on shelves

Absolutely on that point. Same goes for heavy multi zone amplifiers.

Man I loved building racks. Almost makes me miss field work…

Back when I built racks, our “standard” was UPS at the bottom, all drives at the top…but mainly for accessibility. Hadn’t even thought about vibrations or interference!

Someone piss in your Cheerios this morning?

OP is very respectful and understanding of the answers they’ve received and you’re being an asshole presumably because you have an issue with furries.

I took a look and didn’t see domains mentioned until you go to the members login page. It’s not even on the sign up page.

So, uh, maybe go take a look at the link you’re posting. And also don’t write “pay for what you use” when someone is asking about buying a domain if you don’t want people to think you misunderstood the question

He’s nomming hard lol what kind of lizard is that?

You can’t just post all that and not show the lizzy! I love pet-related automations

Too bad it’s not just one thing

Of all the bots on lemmy, this one has got to be the most annoying.

Ok

Hey at least you know for sure those are solid!!
