They can invite me as much as they want but im still on strike until the writers and actors get a new contract that actually pays them and provides a livable situation.
The crazy thing is that 25 years after installing the system still works, its just not as efficent. Also you are just wrong about batteries, we already recycle lithium its just that once a battery pack is no longer useful for its application its better NOT to grind it down and sort out the materials, but first to reuse it in another application.
This is the area where we are still working on improving, current tech is looking at doing 2nd lifecycle applications for EV batteries in grid scale storage for example.
this is a huge topic, I find Reolink a good balance of cost/performance but their ONVIF support is not great. You will need to research each individual camera to see if it will work. Otherwise AXIS/BOSH, or get Chinese cameras and make sure they dont have a way to call home. If you go Chinese Dahua and Hikvision.
Get POE cameras!
NO wifi, WIFI is crap for cameras as they need a constant stream of video to be recorded. If they only write a file when triggered it means you will miss lots of events. Most NVR software, even FOSS records constantly but overwrites files until an event is triggered and then it locks the previous 10 seconds until the event ends.
Any non “consumer” solution should record to local storage. Consumer solution like Ring/Arlo are all built around subscriptions.
Frigate/Shinobi are decent NVR FOSS solutions, and any ONVIF compatible camera should work fine with FOSS.
again Frigate/Shinobi, and I think frigate even has HASS integration.
most good quality professional cameras have built in tracking, detection, and other neat tools. But in addition Frigate has more features you can apply on top of the built in ones. 2 way audio IDK about never looked into it.
Probably, but the article is not wrong, these are huge factors that drive my decisions, and I have flat out told employers in interviews that I take issues with aspect of how companies run. Im sure some roll their eyes, but honestly I dont care, im not going to devalue myself or my ethics just to make them more money.
I doubt that to be honest, I can dig up more news, but my understanding is that Disney is already struggling to be profitable, they are finding that customers are not willing to pay for their walled content and are cross licensing with other platforms things that they would have tried to keep in house previously.
So much this, we cancelled our HBO sub as soon as all the crap/shit TLC/Discovery stuff was put on the platform. That kind of crap is exactly WHY we ditched cable in the first place, and exactly WHY i was willing to pay more for the quality content HBO was producing and had in its library.
Paramount was always destined to fail, as is Disney+ (though that will take longer). The reality is that what people want is to buy their preferred streaming provider and have access to everyone content on that platform. They are not interested in having to subscribe to EVERY platform just for one or two shows.
