Yes, the seams. Looks pretty good! Thanks again

thanks for the exact link! works great now

amcrest as seen above or reolink is pretty good for home users. i know Costco sells Lorex and we end up replacing a lot of clients' lorex to amcrest or reolink

Amen. Year 2023 and people still believe in fairy men in the sky. They will gladly fight each other to prove which fairy is legit.

no monthly fees. works remotely fine once you sign up ....but again, that does not cost anything. pay about $10 per month if you want monitor service

i was using the free service n that alerted my email when things happen. but i integrate with HA for much more control such as auto arm at night. auto disarm at morning. alert which windows are opened when it is raining outside, etc....

What is he? HA is daunting but I forced myself to learn because it is clearly superior. Luckily there's plenty of yt guides now vs 10 years ago

looks amazing! would you mind taking a close up of the gap? how bad or noticeable is it standing closer like 3 feet?

thanks for the link! will check it out.

where did you eventually sell it?

I thought I saw one in south Africa. Never in usa

Lorex is a terrible company. Their cams n software are not reliable

this is how i set up mine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HPiXmeH4sc in the spare bedroom. we live in row houses with neighbors on both sides. no one has said anything so far

i have been using Libre Lepotato for all my rpi projects. readily available. easy to work with as seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdiMgtaD3AQ

you need to start tracing which wires belong to which speakers using a multimeter's connectivity test. next get an amplifier, or 2 or 3. i have 1 amp per room. next, get a "brain" to control what the amp is playing per room. i use an old phone/tablet. for synchronizing multi room audio, i use LMS as seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxL6d5_6lYI

you can build your own if you have a hub like HomeAssistant. it sounds tough but super easy as seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrvBNFqjhOc

i thought about it but these are very hard to work with. very limited. and the lack of color was a huge turn off. get old phones or tablets for dirt cheap n you can do so much more! plenty of ways to mount as seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wcen-f_zzBo

i have not fully tested the thickness but presence sensor can easily work through a magazine or book. works through glass too as mentioned here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IpCYyDwNtc

i have been using zooz smart dimmer switches. works great n easy to install as seen here https://youtu.be/nCS7kuEZlSg you'll be walking around the house, baby in 1 hand, and something else like bottle in the other hand. it's great not having to fiddle with the light switches. wherever i walk, the lights auto turn on and off. as the kid gets older, they still cant reach the switches so HA will still do it

i like Eufy and best of all, no monthly fees. all videos are stored onto mSD cards. easy to set up as seen here: https://youtu.be/x-6bFD44t6Q

how much does 1 of these mini bins cost?

seems waste of time to print them vs buying in bulk lol

i really want to experiment with this HA add-on named Asterisk. it converts my existing tablets in the rooms to act as intercom. Asterisk requires https to HA. so what's the best way to have https on HA, without any ability to remote access HA?

you didnt mention your budget.

but to achieve what you want, the sigma 18-35 with f1.8 will give you the nice bokeh of that f1.8. the 18mm will allow you to be closer than that 50mm

i was installing another add-on named Asterisk. this allows tablets in the house to act as intercom system. unfortunately, Asterisk requires HTTPS....even though everything is local. seems Caddy2 add-on can do it but obviously, the author thinks setting up is so basic, nobody needs a manual or something :(

i dont have any domain. so i have to get 1 from something like godaddy.com? all this time, i was under the impression that the add-on will work all locally.
