    B54PRO-Z4E first impression

    Yes, I have been learning my lessons here. I still have not been able to participate in testing in a wanted way. Still haven't had time to mount a camera. They remain in a window. But tonight I learned of a cancellation in my schedule. I might be able to steal a few hours for a little fun.

    I won't even ask him for it. I haven't had time to install the last update. I got swamped with work in preparation for the upcoming holiday schedule. Sorry, Andy.:(

    New Camera time?

    ^^^^^ That If you can't find a replacement and since it's useless anyway, I would try to gently polish away whatever that stuff is and the scratches. Similar to headlight cover restoration. Kind of looks like the a coating was separating, unless that is build up from water. Then however you...

    Tail Scale VPN

    I was game to try Tailscale but now I'm not sure. It seems that I need to create an account using my Apple, Google, etc. ID to use their apps and services. Then I will be connected through their servers which are collecting data from my usage. Am I correct? I thought I would ask here to be sure...

    Thanks for confirming that for me, that is what I took from the earlier discussion about this. With Andy's explanation above, I was wondering also about the "official" recommendation.

    If they were mine and I had a problem with UV I might try to shield the cams with some form of a shield, an awning or at least a sheet of tinted translucent or transparent material of whatever sort. But if the problem is heat, the former is all I would offer.
