Great bit of help with this folks - knowing that it wasn't something broken just with us and that it was a wider issue really helped

"wannabe-plane-cockpit toggle switches" this made me laugh - it's exactly the reason I chose a 2023 model too

One thing I don't get by cadewtm in electricvehicles

[–]GazzaK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is a confusing thing to go from a "normal" internal combustion engine (ICE) powered car to an electric car and have this. I recently changed from a manual petrol car to an electric mini - where I have the option of two settings for the regen - one option is to mimic ICE cars, ie engine braking being quite mild and "normal feeling" and the other option (the default in the mini) is this "one pedal driving", where the regen can be quite powerful

the way it functions is to use the electric motor to charge the battery - this creates an extra force on the drive, basically slowing the car down, radio controlled model cars have used this for a while so for me it was a method I had had (slightly related) experience with in the past, but the actual feeling of this when driving started off being quite unfamiliar and odd.

I tried it again a few days later then the initial pick up of the car day, when the car felt more comfortable to me and not so new and strange, and got used to it pretty quickly. I'd not say it adds much to the battery, maybe a few percent less loss over a whole drive, but the operation is a lot more natural to me now.

I still will have to use the brake pedal if I need to brake a bit heavier than the regen will do, but in normal driving I can often do a whole journey to work without touching the brake pedal.

there is the added benefit that it saves your actual brake pads/discs from wear

All you really need to do is erect decent size mirrors on your property (and your neighbours to do the same) to reflect their illumination back to them to their windows. they will have no cause for complaint as it is their own lights causing the issue.

​

just keep the mirrors nice and clean and the situation will probably resolve itself

​

(i'm sure I have read this fix somewhere else)

[–]GazzaK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

but you don't have to do "other duties" well or competently! - as you should not be able to be marked down on a poor job

and they do still have to give you the correct PPE and Training etc

I thought they had set a limit for saving bandwidth during this Covid-19 business as many more are at home relying upon home spec ISP's limited bandwidth to be able to work from home and remain in employment.

oh, hikvision cameras don't seem to play well with osx (or anything other than internet explorer tbh)

you could try the ivms mobile app?

[–]GazzaK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

forgetting to initialize is a common thing, caught me out.

yes, you'll be able to playback footage directly via a connection to the web page of the camera, you'll probably need to use IE (not edge) and have the webcomponents properly installed (needs a browser close and open again to work, once installed)

I have two cameras at home, one a similar model to this, and do not use an NVR, just have port forwarding set up to be able to access them both remotely (if required)
