You Tube on Linux is still showing the preview for me.

Edited to add that I am using Firefox.
Hey smartass, check the definition on LINK - it does not say only political. And then look farther down and see that the media have used the term for Kirk and other non-political people.
How about Samsung? I've got several, and they've been great for the money.
User manual says made in China (at the bottom of the last page).

What about a situation where the cameras aren't there when you go to check - you wouldn't even know when they were taken, much less have any evidence of who or when. Just saying...

Using an old Pixel 5a on my home network with an even older Dell C2660dn Laser printer, I opened a pdf file in firefox and was able to print it. It did show a popup that said that the document would go through several servers in order to be printed - don't know what that is about, but again, it did print properly. Hope this helps.

The container that the bulbs came in should specify if the bulbs have to be mounted in a certain way and yes, some bulbs aren't made to be mounted "upside down".

After thinking about it for a bit, I have a recommendation. But first, some history.

Several years ago after much research, I started off with a Reolink system that was using their new 12MP cameras. I found that they were great - in the daytime. At night, not as much. Using the LEDs on the camera, you get pretty much the range they advertise, but not in color. However, the LEDs attract bugs - spiders particularly. And if it is raining or misting at night, the infrared bounces back off the water in the air making for a pretty bad picture. I learned to live with those downsides, because the daylight images really were great!

Back then, I thought that they had the best value, especially since you didn't store data in the cloud. It seems that a lot of manufacturers have caught on and have local storage these days, so maybe that is not such a big deal for Reolink now. I haven't done any real research on that.

Within the past year, I upgraded my cameras to their new CX810s (8MP cameras) that offer color vision at night with very minimal illumination - A standard LED bulb equivalent to an incandescent 60 watt bulb is more than enough to have color vision for hundreds of feet, with no infrared or white LEDs being used! In fact with a full moon out, you see very, very distinct shadows of items - It really looks like daylight! And with no LEDs, there are no problems with bugs or rain at night.

The CX810 cameras still have some problems at night with movement (as do most other cameras, except those that cost much more), but generally, the closer and slower moving the object is to the camera the better the quality. I have no problem making out slower moving small animals (skunks, possums, etc) at over 100 feet at night, but deer at 100 feet can be a bit blurry while they are moving.

So I still like Reolink (although other manufacturers may be just as good for the same price - I haven't looked into any other manufacturers, so I just don't know), and I will recommend them as I think that they are still a good value, but I would really advise going with their CX810 cameras. Looks like Amazon has a four cam system with a 2TB HD NVR for $570 right now and the cameras by themselves are $88 each. I know that this was a good bit to read in today's world, but I wanted to give you the good and the bad. Good luck!

It is called POE (Power over Ethernet), and one Ethernet cable can actually handle two cameras (on Reolink) if you have the correct splitters at each end. Ethernet has eight conductors and one camera uses two for power and two for signal, so one camera only uses half the available conductors. I am doing this in one location (two cameras) and it works fine.
Based on my experience, I would guess that at 4K with 2TB, you would get somewhere between five and seven days before before it starts recording over the oldest files.
