I'm happy to announce that @cgrutt is an official NYGF Sponsor / Vendor! Chris is an extremely talented carpenter that can build just about anything, including my new shed that he is starting next week! Not only has he helped several members here, but he has also helped keep NYGF alive with...
No problem. It's a very fun little project for anyone who likes to tinker and likes tech / gaming.
I know there is a newer version of Raspberry PI out now, but this is everything I used that works great.
Raspberry Pi 3 B+ kit
Nintendo style box for RPI
64 GB MicroSD Card
2 X-Box style...
Thanks guys!
This is amazing. Can you share some technical info? What platform is that? I need to know details, lol.
I also built myself (and a few friends) identical systems, but on a much smaller scale. Everything fits into this box and can be hooked up to any TV via hdmi. If people are...
YouTube! That's how I learned when I built my first one. If you like to tinker then I recommend it, but if you will throw the box of parts after 5 minutes of dropping springs and stuff, then order one.
We (everyone here) bailed out the auto industry. Why shouldn't GM be retrofitted and start manufacturing ventilators right now? Why shouldn't we make them do this, or start making masks? Or do we want to continue to just bail out industries and have them do nothing in return except get richer on...
I honestly don't think it's an effort to throttle back permits an amendments. I used to have a friend that worked in the pistol permit office many moons ago. She constantly told me that the delays are always "the judges getting around to signing the amendments, then the office getting around to...
6 weeks so far without my amendment. This is so f'ed up and ridiculous, either the County Clerk's are lazy or the Judges are lazy. Get your shit together OC!!! WTF
Look at the top 10 companies to work for, all have PTO and / or sick days.
Treat your employees like shit, they work like shit. Treat them good and they will work better, be happier and retention and productivity will increase. I see it first hand every day.

Have any of you guys seen Hikvision's new cameras with LED lights? They are really cool, they have LED lights on them and make pitch black appear like daytime. Between the LED and the low light sensor, the nighttime view is real nice. People are putting them above front doors, in low lit areas...
Right now IMO these are the best bang for the buck. They come in 2.8 and 4mm, are 4K and have a built in microphone

Anyone looking for a doorbell that doesn't have a monthly charge and can be integrated with Blue Iris and ONVIF...
I know people over there said it, but definitely skim through the cliff notes. Dahua makes good cameras, but make sure you get the right ones. They have Starlight series cameras that have awesome night vision. Shoot empiretecandy a PM on that forum and he will hook you up, he's the go to guy...
The doorbells come w/ stickers that people are supposed to put up, plus it's not a federal law, it's NYS (and some other states) specific. Again, this law is never enforced.
If there are cameras that record audio outside of your home, then you need to have a sign outside of your home. Conversely if you have them inside, you need to have a sign inside.
This law is also never enforced.
Absolutely do not get reolink, ever. Junk cameras. I'll post some suggestions for audio soon. The only thing about audio is you are required by law to have a sign up that says they are being recorded.
This guy is the man and should be recognized as such. He literally stopped a "mass shooting" from getting worse, with one of the nicest shots imaginable. He saved lives, he's a hero. Thank you to this guy for saving lives.
