I’m not sure if I’ve tried doing any PTZ stuff, but all the other settings for sure. The cameras I have all have SD cards so you could manage everything right from the UI and just have it record locally.
They want to connect to the mothership and destroy log files trying to get there.
All of the Amcrest “management” I do is within blue iris. I have a ptz IP4M-1041B but do not do any ptz stuff via HA. I use blue iris to send stream/alerts to HA via MQTT. This allows me to do notifications on motion. I would assume if you have location presets setup in BI you could call them from HA but that’s a guess.
I messed around with presets (camera location) in blue iris a bit bit didn’t have a real use case for it so I am not sure how robust it is.
I block internet access to all Amcrest cameras directly but can still access their local IP. I have access to my cameras again via blue iris which runs on a dedicated windows machine.
Been using enbrighten switches from Jasco. I use their Zwave but I think they have ZigBee too.
I use the ones that look like toggle switches over the paddle style to match the rest of the house .
I have them on all our bathroom fans too so they can be left on (steam / smell disposal) and auto shut off after 30 min.
haha, ya… Such well placed money there.
Almost like we should focus on making the US better / competitive instead of trying to succeed by blocking others.
Don’t we get a ton of components and raw materials required for EVs from China already?
Installed and we’ll see how it goes. Thanks for the heads up!!
I’ve got amcrest and I integrate them into HA via mqtt using blue iris.
But amcrest cameras need something like pihole to help block all their taking to the home base
Well I’m interested in this world (sailing/ living on a sailboat) so I’ve been following fairly close. I don’t believe there’s any known non aggressive way to stop them. Stopping hasn’t been shown to help that I’ve heard/seen
From all the reports I’ve seen so far, they are in fact not attacking humans, just the boats. Unless this has changed.
Stay classy Humans…
I think you’re one step too high…
Humans seem to thrive being controlled by authoritarian figures. If you look across the planet these people are getting voted in by someone.
The first one was God.
Sounds like this would at the very least remove $20-30m in revenue (according to the article) not counting if the copyright holders decide to go after them.
I think it puts them in a precarious situation overall.
I no longer have to daily drive mine so as I said I hope it lasts a LONG time!
Makes me glad my, going on 17 year old Toyota will likely run forever and is as dumb as a box of rocks regarding this stuff.
Ya, which is why after I tried nYNAB I switched back to the steam version of ynab4
Between that and the modified version of classic ynab4 android app I’m set for now.
why is incognito transmitting anything to anyone. Glad I switched to FF a while back.
Oh ya for sure. I deleted my account, and moved here never intending to look back. I have clicked on a couple reddit links since I left but I really try not too. Like I’d say 5 times maybe. In the end if I need info and that’s the only place…
I just, don’t visit reddit anymore.
Problem solved…
I removed my account a few years ago when they moved a bunch of features behind their paywall. I’m perfectly fine just using Garmin’s built in ‘news feed’ and tracking without giving my data to another company.
I had a humidity switch in ours a while ago (not smart) and it would turn on too much even if a shower wasn’t running but our windows were open. And, enough humidity was in the air. So that didn’t work out great.
It was a self contained deal not a smart switch though
