    Door Checker

    We had door checkers go through the neighborhood last month. They rummaged through the vehicles, but didn’t steal anything. The cops said they were either looking for keys or garage door openers. They didn’t bother to check my vehicle since they saw my cameras pointed at them. [emoji102] I...

    Get IPS Android vs iPhone App

    I use a DyDNS provider to update my WAN IP to a hostname. There are plenty of free DyDNS providers. Most routers have any number a built in clients you can choose from. I use no-ip.com, which has a free tier. They also provide my domain registration and email hosting. Another option is to use...

    Tail Scale VPN

    Tailscale does not require UPnP nor does it require manual port forwarding. It establishes a P2P connection between clients on your TailScale MESH VPN. Anyone with good security practices should never enable UPnP on a router/firewall.

    Tail Scale VPN

    You only need a single instance of Tailscale running on or behind your firewall to connect to any device on your home network via its local IP address if you enable advertise routes, including embedded devices. For example, I run Tailscale on my pfSense firewall to remotely connect to my...

Once a node is added, you are only using their coordination server to connect devices together through your firewall NAT/CGNAT.

    Tail Scale VPN

    I do something similar. I have IPSec set up on my pfSense firewall, JIC I need to remotely update the Tailscale client on my firewall. The nice thing is iOS supports IPSec natively without a separate VPN client installed.

    Tail Scale VPN

    Not at that price. TS works without a static WAN IP. You can always use any number of free DyDNS to tie your WAN IP address to a hostname. No-IP.com has a free tier.

    Anyone tried Dahuas ?New? Video doorbell DB41AB/W?

    @OrinocoDelta Dahua acquired Lorex in 2018 for $29M and sold them in 2023 for $72M (not a bad ROI), likely due to the US government ban on Dahua. At one time, Amcrest, Dahua, and Lorex rebranded the same models. It wouldn't surprise me if the companies sill share the same contract...

    Apparently AWS outages today (10/20/25)

    Since my beer fridge does not rely on AWS cloud services, I think I will survive. Nor do I rely on cloud services for my home security system, cameras, HDHomeRun+OTA TV antenna, FM/WX radio, and lead projectiles.

    Did the person he was messaging with know in advance or only after the fact? If the person knew in advance, they might want to lawyer up quickly as they can be charged with complicity to murder in most states, including Utah.
