    Camera recommendations for Europe

    Yes, that was days ago .. yet, it was not until today that I saw the cruise missiles under the wings 100% pre-emptive strike. Yet seems much of the media fails to note this.

    Am I asking for trouble?

    Attic, can be a real challenge when hot, or if super low. One method I tried which worked well, was to push PVC electrical pipes from the center of the attic out to the eaves .. that worked better as once I secured both ends I could pull the cable through with an assistant keeping an eye on the...

    Suspected Mail Thieves at 2 AM

    hmm .. perhaps setup a light that turns on when the mailbox is opened if you need more light there .. would be funny to have a old school camera flash that blinds them for awhile .. and a camera by the box for a close up. Did you end up reporting them ?

    The Typical picture of a Perp on Nextdoor-type Apps with Consumer Grade Cameras like Ring, Nest, Arlo, Canary, Wyze, etc.

    Yup. I also was the "want to hang up WiFi Battery operated cameras and be done with that" .. after I looked closely at the results, it was clear I would be unable to get what I needed and the batteries would cost a lot.

    Am I asking for trouble?

    100% recommended to replace that flat "Cat 6" 30 AWG rated cable .. Honestly, fraudulent to call such cables in my book "Cat 6" .. 30 AWG will mean significantly lower watts carried and power drop over that distance ( 100' ) vs a proper 23 or 24 AWG copper cable. For example, using PoE specs...
