    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    I am looking to finally convert over from my Ring doorbell. Is there any reason to go with the Reolink in a 4:3 ratio over the 3:4? I don't know why the color dictates the ratio, but black v white is not an issue. I thought maybe the taller ratio would be more ideal given how narrow my front...

    It's not just Costco

    Moving products is their MO and is why everything on pallets. Inventory can be moved by one person, and now you need to go look for it. While looking, you stumble across something else you didn't need, but buy anyways, and all they had to do was move the Pirate's Booty two aisles over.

    It's not just Costco

    Oh, and I forgot about the time I was shopping and a cart was a little in the way. I scooted it to the side so I could get past. The lady lost her shit. EXCUSE ME!? COULD YOU NOT ASK ME TO MOVE MY CART??!! I told her to not leave it in the way, and to have a nice day.

    Someone’s been spending too much time here

    The comments on the video are pretty funny to read. A lot of ignorance, but still funny. I'd like to see @tech101 's video of this guy while he was sitting there.

    Is there an Indoor Autotracking Dome PTZ model available?

    Yea, the PTZ425DB-AT with this bracket. I remember seeing pictures with it installed, but I can't find them. https://empiretech01.com/products/empiretech-pfb5310c-in-ceiling-mount-bracket

    It's not just Costco

    I have Costco, Sam's, and BJ's memberships. If Costco didn't have some specific things I go there for, I would drop it. Unfortunately they all have the things that they do better or only they have. At least Sam's allows you to scan and check out in the app. Costco check out is the worst thing...

    Is there an Indoor Autotracking Dome PTZ model available?

    The mini-PTZ could be usable inside, even though it is on the wrong sensor. If you wanted it ceiling mounted, Andy has a trim ring that allows it to be recessed so basically just the dome is exposed.

    I can't fucking stand it. People have no common sense or courtesy at that store.

    Not really. They all have a purpose and specific job. Yes, there may be some overlap in FOV and coverage, but I doubt there is much "redundancy" in the images each captures.

    Camera placement help with security lights already installed please (pics included)

    It might, until something happens and you realize you have a hole in your coverage and missed something. Also having cameras dedicated to specific jobs and FOVs and not "one camera to see them all" will increase your camera count. I am 2750sqft with a 1/3 acre lot and I have somewhere between...

    Who knows ESP-32?

    I considered some hot glue, as well. With the integrated board, I need to solder the headers on either way, so it's actually less work to solder the wires instead. Unfortunately needed pins aren't always neighbors, so I can't just solder on connectors. As of now, the only connections I will...

    Who knows ESP-32?

    When you finally get your board and hardware wired, and your project is ready to use somewhere, how do you handle header connections? Do you just let them ride and hope they stay connected to the header pins?

    Who knows ESP-32?

    Well, after finding 100 different button press sequences that others claim should work with this thing, I finally got it to show as online. What secret handshake of button presses was required? None. Absolutely none. I just had to remove the IO0/GND jumper...

    Who knows ESP-32?

    This is the USB adapter I am using. From what I have found, I have the dip switches set correctly. If this wasn't communicating to the board, then nothing would work, and the install would fail, right? https://a.co/d/4QI1w9D

    The new board is here, and I am having no luck with it either.

    Who knows ESP-32?

    On the stand alone board, I just plugged it in via USB C and it worked. For the relay board, I jumped IO0 to GND. I had to use a USB to TTL adapter for this one. I have another relay board that should be here in the next couple hours. I will see if this one behaves any differently when I try...

    Well, I just did a stand alone board without any issues. :eyeroll: It looks like the issue may be with the board I am trying to provision.

    My brain is starting to hurt. What's the best way to wipe this thing and start over?

    Who knows ESP-32?

    I tried your yaml, and it's still offline. Maybe I will nuke it and start over, if that's an option.

    Who knows ESP-32?

    What is the difference between your yaml and mine? It looks practically the same. Did you use a relay board, or a standalone board?

    Who knows ESP-32?

    I thought the purpose of the fallback hotspot was to connect if it was somewhere it could not connect to the primary network? So it should be displayed if it's not connected. I am just trying to troubleshoot and see if I maybe fried something when soldering the headers on. My thought was if the...

    If I scan for networks, should I see the fallback hotspot in the list?

    I got the bin file loaded successfully, but it's not showing as online.

    Who knows ESP-32?

    I may have made some progress. It's confusing on which machine it needs to be plugged into at certain steps. I updated the serial drivers and got to the next step, but now need to figure out how the buttons need to be pressed for it to initialize.

    Who knows ESP-32?

    Ok, I am lost. I have tried following along with videos, but what I am seeing doesn't flow with the videos. Any suggestions? I have added a new device in ESPHome. I thought this flashed the device, but apparently not and now I need to load a bin file to it. I can't get the board to show as...

    Permanent "Holiday" Lights discussion

    The one I plan to use is around 20"x17". The enclosure will probably be 30"x30" because I can't find anything in a 28" that will work. A lot of people use an Epson L210SF, which is around 12"x10".
