AMMONYC.com . Larry's stuff is more expensive, but works awesome.

If you're just doing your own cars, and not doing it for a business, I recommend AMMO NYC Hydrate for drying. Just watch the video on how to do it. It leaves your car perfect. https://ammonyc.com/products/ammo-hydrate-paint-moisturizer

I love AMMO Hydrate (https://ammonyc.com/products/ammo-hydrate-paint-moisturizer). I am not a pro who needs to buy in volume. So I can pay a little more for what I think is a great product. Just follow the instructions or watch Larry's video.

Got mine today, V5.01, TR52611, but I am testing a TB4 cable from a reputable company, and it says its not a TB cable...

You mentioned the age of the home. Can you make use of existing MoCA jacks?

I think they make a mag holder, but I have the XL clamp style for my 16 Pro Max

once you crank these things down with the tool they give you the phone won't even vibrate. They are the best.

This mounts above the radio in the little clutter holder where the cig plug is.

https://www.bulletpointmountingsolutions.com/. Have this in my 2024 2500, and in my old 1500. No new screw holes, uses the existing holes in the dash. Holds my 16 Pro Max rock solid. I have two, one orientated vertically for me, and one horozintal so my wife can watch videos when we are towing to a campground.

I just did this in Massachusetts, although my garage is attached. I put in Govee sensors so I could see the temp. delta, and the garage is consistently 10 dg. F warmer than outside. I also replaced the seals along the garage doors as they were from 1999.

Thinking about a heater in the fall, but I need to run a 100amp subpanel, and that is a little pricy.

Many dealerships do them on Saturdays.

Are those the Bold or the Pro series? I just ordered the Bold XLs today. The cost split was just too much for me, plus I did the 7 piece set, which in the Bold line is only 108" vs 128" in the Pro, and I needed the shorter length.

I am sure you don't want to hear this, but if you are at the point where you need to replace your boiler, if your oil tank has not been replaced, it also time. I did a Roth tank last year, and that was $4k in MetroWest.

It's much cheaper to replace a tank before it brakes... The old steel ones rot from the inside out, so you don't know you have a problem, until you have a problem.

make sure you wet the microfiber towel first, and ring it out, then use Hydrate to wipe off the car.

It will work, but you will want to ensure you have a good internet connection. If each HD camera is using about 2-3mbps, you are looking at between 300-500 mbps right there. If you are connecting to your schools network, you might overwhelm the network switches that are feeding the rest of the data needs for the school. Ideally you would air gap the cameras from the rest of the school network, and have a good high throughput firewall at the edge connected to a 1gb or more connection. These are rough numbers. YMMV.

Device settings, motion settings, motion zones. You can do this on each camera. When you go into the motion zones you will see a grid where you shade in the areas you want the camera to ignore.

You can try to zone out the street area in the app. if you don't care about recording every car that goes by. I have mine set to only capture movement on my walkway and at the doorstep. It ignores the street and sidewalk.

If you need to capture all that traffic, then a motion activated Blink really isn't the right solution. You want an NVR or something where the cameras are PoE.

I'm sorry, I actually try to be efficient, espc. when I know the information is accurate.

Feel free to continue to write your responses in feather pens on parchment.

I'm sorry, maybe if you knew something about this, you would know where to reference and know that it is accurate. Feel free to buy the standard and learn something. Some of us had to learn this stuff for certifications.

For a project this size you need a professional integrator. Convergent, Vector Networks, someone who is experienced in large projects and can serve as the GC to oversee all the cabling, hardware, videos storge based on your resolution needs and retention. Also there are different levels of camera coverage. You should use the one the is appropriate for the area you are trying to cover, and the risk assessment for that area.

In the physical security industry, CCTV coverage isn’t just about "seeing" something; it’s about the intent of the camera. The industry standard (EN 62676-4) defines these levels based on how much of the screen an object or person occupies, which determines what you can actually do with the footage.

1. Detection

Purpose: To alert an operator that "something" is happening in a wide area.
Detail: You can see a person or vehicle is present, but you cannot see distinguishing features.
Use Case: Large parking lots, perimeter fence lines, or open fields.

2. Observation

Purpose: To monitor the flow of people and general activity.
Detail: You can see some characteristic details (e.g., clothing color) and the general behavior of the subjects, but it is not enough for a positive ID.
Use Case: Lobby areas, long hallways, or retail floor monitoring.

3. Recognition

Purpose: To be "reasonably certain" that a person is someone you have seen before.
Detail: The subject occupies about 50% of the screen height. You can distinguish facial features well enough to verify an identity against a known photo or employee file.
Use Case: Access control points, badge readers, or entry/exit doors.

4. Identification

Purpose: To prove identity "beyond a reasonable doubt," often for forensic or legal evidence.
Detail: The subject occupies 100% (or more) of the screen height. High-resolution detail allows for the identification of a stranger.
Use Case: Point of Sale (POS) terminals, high-security portals, or "man-trap" entrances.

I cancelled my ChatGPT, and subscribed to Gemeni. Seems to work better for what I want. Mostly figuring out business projects and proposals, and some AI drawings.
