    Security cameras in 2026

    Yeh I'm not going to run AI on the PTZ. The old stuff is surprisingly reasonable. The G5 PTZ are only $400. I can get the Gen 4 for $150. I think the G5 is worth it, but it is a lot of coin. About $200 each for the G6 Turrets. $2k in cameras, $200 for the AI port, 2x POE Flex for switching...

    Security cameras in 2026

    The license plate ID is what I really want to work. Think I am also going to do the gate controller. There is no pull off in front of my gate. I have to stop and block traffic on a tiny road while the gate opens. one of my cars has an installed opener. Where I live and work it is not safe...

    Security cameras in 2026

    Its not random, the internet and all IPV4 addresses are routinely scanned by bots both benign (google) and malicious (hackers, china, etc). IPV6 also gets scanned, but there are a lot more address so I see it less often. Once an open port is seen, there is generally a barrage of generic...

    Does cool roof paint actually work on Metal buildings? RESULTS POSTED,

    If your roof was black, you would see a substantial difference. Going from tan to white I doubt you will see a significant difference.

    The Everything 3D Printer Thread

    Depends on what his or wife had waiting for him at home. It might take an hour, or might he be "forced" to put in many hours of over time to get it done. Ubiquiti sold the lights for a short time, I don't know who is selling them these days. A quick google search didn't come up with anything...

    Polyester resin

    you can use CSM with epoxy. The epoxy resin doesn't have styrene so the binder doesn't dissolve and it is harder to work with. Even wet, it doesn't want to drape and conform as much as CSM with the binder dissolved. However, the fibers still wet out, and the end result is the just as strong...

    Polyester resin

    They make epoxy resins specific to both applications. Both applications were used extensively in the aircraft industry, though I think they have gone almost exclusively to prepreg these days. I guess superior is situational. If you are 10x the price for a marginal gain, you are probably not...

    Polyester resin

    The only reason not to use epoxy resin is cost. Of course there are a ton of different epoxy recipes, but I can't think of any use case where epoxy is not superior. When you are building something the size of a boat, the cost difference is not unsubstantial. When you are building 1000 boats...

    Because it is awesome. Instead of requiring an electrician and a network technician taking and taking several days to install, wire, and program "smart" lighting, a single guy can do it in an afternoon. I haven't tried it yet, but a friend just did his new office/warehouse and absolutely...

    my lathe, what to do

    I'm with the crowd; it's a paper weight..... Unless you have a machine building fetish. It is metal everything is repairable with enough effort. It would be ton of work to weld it, get everything realigned and running true. The time and expense would be way more than buying a new one...

    G Code question - New CNC router project ruined by return to home command?

    I still wouldn't leave it. Routing makes a lot of saw dust. Even small parts make a huge mess. It can go sideways fast. You do you, but you've been warned. In any case, the cheap 3018 and related small machines are very functional. That is not the same as easy. If you master the...

    Wi-Fi

    It is a knock off of the Ubiquiti bridge. Even trying to make the logo look like the Ubiquiti logo. I'm generally not in the sky is falling crowd tin foil hat crowd, but I am becoming more concerned about grey market products especially hardwired to my network. If you don't follow the cyber...

    Voltage Between Grounds on Different Circuits

    in the US three wire 220 is two hots and a ground. That should be ground on both. Four wire has a neutral. The more interesting problem is on the 120 volt side. Those are completely hosed. Neutral to ground should not have potential. Less than 4 volts is normal and is basically...

    What do you sparkies use for insurance?

    That is a completely different business then an electrician. I know a what my wife's insurance is as a doctor and I know what my insurance and bond was as a GC was many years ago. However, those are both not relevant to the conversation. Depending on the state, municipality, and the insurance...

    Some generation old Ubiquiti can be sources for ~$170. It is still the gold standard for pro-sumer gear. https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Bridge-Pre-Configured-Bundle-Outdoor/dp/B0FJPSBMP4/?tag=atomicindus08-20...

    Between 705 & 1200 SQ/FT The 'NOT' a garage, CABIN build.

    It is satisfying to do well. Unfortunately for most people they don't have the luxury. When it is the architect at $100+ an hour, or even a draftsman at $40 or so an hour, it doesn't take much time to add up to way more than a pile of lumber scraps. In Upstate SC, you can't find a framing...

    Also a small nozzle. I would try a .2 mm. Plastic squishes as you lay it down. The second round perimeter will also slightly displace the first. Getting exact sizes can be difficult. As a result, precise threads can be hard to print. The less plastic that is laid down the better for size...

    I was excited you have FPO listed in your state drop down, but it doesn't appear you actually ship to FPOs. Any chance I can convince you to change your mind?

    Making an Aluminum car under tray

    With item three, you just upped the difficulty significantly. It is absolutely possible to be better than the OEM. They had to design for manufacturing for 100s of thousands of units. However, even a relative minor part has hundreds of hours of design in it. It went through dozens of hours...
