Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

Something interesting that happened to you
Something humourous that happened to you
Something frustrating that happened to you
A quick question
A request for recommendations
Pictures of your pet
A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

Did you go PoE or wireless? I was tempted to get the PoE version, but am now too lazy to run a cable.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 1 points 2 hours ago

I went PoE, I don't want batteries to charge and also I wanted something that can play nice with Frigate.

It goes through the wall to a spot in my garage very near where I need it, so I got an ethernet jack installed on the opposite side of the wall to make it easy. I was gonna do it myself but couldn't get my courage up to drill a hole in a super obvious spot by the front door because I wasn't sure it would ever be fixable if I screwed it up 😅

In the end I got some bloke in, $125 in parts and labour (not including the camera that I already had) they were done in less than an hour.
