Define compatible. Most PoE cams will share a stream or two or more. Some share voice and audio channels. Modern cameras share detection metadata, face recognition, zone crossing, and most features with any pro grade VMS or NVR and are 100% interoperable. This is called profile M.


Look out for retail brands though. These are VERY stingy with their features. Ubiquiti is probably the absolute worst. Apple-like walled garden. They share nothing with third party equipment. You can technically pull a sub stream but you can’t configure it and it’s a shitty VBR stream that’s no good to run tools on anyway. Same with main, plus you need their NVR to pull either, just like the analog days. Reolink is in a very similar boat allowing streams out that are only lightly configurable and generally don’t meet requirements of third party systems. If you already have reolink, unfortunately, your best bet is to stick with them.

If you don’t mind running a server, there is an entire software ecosystem built around making Reolink suck less with other equipment. Check out go2rtc and scrypted. They can turn Reolink streams into solid interoperable feeds.

Ya PVE was super great when I ditched the big gpu machine and went to minis, I just threw the hard-to-migrate, non-accelerated VMs right onto an old nuc. It took just a few minutes.

Problem is a year later I was still running this loud old nuc8 up in the IT area. It took the ram apocalypse to finally motivate me to migrate off of PVE because that old nuc had 32GB ddr4 and I got double what it used to be worth within 3 hours of posting it.

I mean if you’re using a mesh system, and it’s not wired, there is a much higher likelihood that the problems you experience are manifested by the local network as opposed to a service provider.

I’d at least step up to air with Apple. M3/m4 is fine. Don’t need m5. Neo is crippled by a 8GB RAM on a 64bit memory bus but only heavy media, gaming, and AI are really going to be affected. I wouldn’t want it but it’ll probably be fine for school work.

If she’s doing data analysis on an Neo, even with python, she’ll be limited to a couple million rows and have to get really good about deleting unused frames.

If you don’t have trees over the pool or a lot of exposed rock/concrete, then maintenance is extremely easy. Keep 1-2 tabs floating and a couple ounces of cal hypo or sodium hypo every evening is all you need unless it gets out of hand. No need to shock much unless miss routine or storm fills pool with junk.

The Walmart 6 strips are fine. I use cal hypo because it’s cheap on marketplace. Download LSI calculator all to determine balance. Acceptable ranges are complete crap without balance calculator.

Only big warning is don’t let cya get too high nearly everyone screws this up at some point. Cya is in tabs and dichlor shock. Use moderately or as needed to keep stabilizer levels around 50.

I spend average $20/mo and I have tons of trees over the pool and it fills with tree material constantly. Would be 4x more if bought from store though. I have about 20k gallon plus spa.

I also keep alkalinity on low end and PH stays at 7 year round with no acid. My calcium is obviously super high but it’s balanced.

Exactly, if at all possible or unless a deal is just too good to be true, never buy retail laptops.

The only “positive” is they can usually be fully reset from the system firmware just by holding esc at startup and going through the menus. Everything else is a negative.

Wha went wrong with them? Mine have been fine for five years. If it’s motor drivers or something like that the I guess I’ll have a project in my hands. Would have to add some features though.

WLED is the standard for addressable strips. AFAIK it’s the only good way to get granular effects and remain local.

Just get the oval 18.5 instead of the round 16.5 inch.

Ya that would change things a lot. I’d never buy anything but regular 4 stroke fuel. 2 stroke I hardly use at all so the balanced fuel gives me peace of mind and seems to be working better than leaving 87 octane and super tech mix in there for a year or more.
