RABBITS.............. They eat literally anything!! Even Raspberry leaves, Chives, any flowers, some weeds but they do seem to avoid nettles. We used to have a stray cat around the gardens that kept them down but we seem to have lost him to a fox who we saw around for a while but now he too...

Put up a curtain rail onto a dreaded concrete lintel, always had trouble in the past with my normal hammer drill doing this with holes wandering and blunted bits so decided to finally invest in an SDS drill. OMG went in as if the lintel was butter and almost no wander! Also chipped off the...

They certainly did not a year ago when I left them, as noted in my other post they kept trying to overcharge me to gain excessive credit, not once did they bill me for what I actually owed.

Just to add my pound of flesh, I was with Octopus, inherited them after house move however mine was a very very bad experience that I never wish to repeat. I have smart meters for both gas & E and also had in my old house. Despite me telling them exactly how much energy I used a year they kept...

So have you done all the usual stuff like tested the same network from the same location using your phone ?

Doing some structural timber work for solar panels and discovered I had run out of long coach bolts. So in an emergency off to B&Q, not much choice so I bought what they had. Absolutely useless, soft as butter, broke clean off where shank joins thread whilst screwing in, tried to get the remains...

I have to ask what PC ? There is no PC involved here, I have also used Wireshark on them and they basically ping the server and that's it until you want to make a remote connection then they are given the connection data to the remote client from the server, after that video streaming starts...

I get your point BUT it's only while I am watching it on an external network AND TBH our lives are so mundane I can see no interest from anybody anyway lols. In any case it's either that or open up your router, go figure the bigger security risk!

How are you going to make good over chasework if it has lining paper on it ?? Doesn't sound very practicable to me, better left as bare plaster then at least it will be easy to make good with a level finish.

Reminds me of a Victorian house I once had with a big galvanised steel tank someone had left up there that I wanted to remove to make the space usable, scared of fire I resorted to a club hammer and bolster, bloody noisy and took a long time!!

Ahh that's the beauty of there system, no open ports!! it relies upon a Reolink server (no subscription) so you can leave your firewall untouched! Works with Android and Apple. I should add I have been having a ding-dong battle with Reolink recently after they released software that had not...

Well then you don't need storage and robin above is right they usually have 12V sockets as well, I had forgotten that. Beware buying old obsolete stock from bay etc, I didn't know Reolink were still producing 5Mpix cameras

Well you need something to provide POE (48V) I use a POE Ethernet switch as I have many POE camera's but you can also get single channel injectors but watch the cost, a switch might be cheaper. Other than that you can use either and SD card for storage within the camera or some kind of networked...

I use Reolink (have 6), depends what you call cheap, generally you get what you pay for! If you want evidence from a reasonable distance I would not go below 8Mpixels.

NO YOU ARE WRONG AGAIN............... Why do you insist on muddying the waters, I already told you to think again. Stop confusing the OP with your misunderstanding of transistors! I suggest you go away and build yourself an experimental circuit or try LTspice.
