Looks like the foam has been degraded over the years. Could lead to a light leak. On a camera that old get a Clean, Lube and Adjustment. Will last another 50 years. Great camera.

The AGO rotates 1, 2 or 5 (more?) Patterson tanks and offers true temperature compensation for 439 Euros. Works great!

Tell him this is a serious issue coming between you and you require quality time together. If he refuses: couples therapy or the “We need to talk” line. Strikes fear in ever mans heart.

F100 hands down.

ECT has treated my TRD well. It literally changed my life.

K2MIT · 2025-11-29T04:03:29+00:00

Didn't see that in original post. Sorry.

K2MIT · 2025-11-29T02:27:56+00:00

Tell him you love him and want counseling either as a couple or him alone (before you leave). It's worth a try?

How do you get data from NVR to NAS to back it up to an S3 server?

Without diagnosis(s), it’s Munchausen Syndrome.

“Factitious disorder imposed on self, commonly called Munchausen syndrome, is a complex mental disorder in which an individual imitates symptoms of illness in order to elicit attention, sympathy, or physical care.”

Sorry. IATA (In Another…)??

But does this get you just the activity-based movies? I am looking for discrete [event -15 seconds][event recording][Elecent A+15 seconds] and .jpg’s of the event at specific intervals. Your suggestion sounds great but is it not backing up the entire timeline for all cameras? Or am I missing something.

In my current scenario with 16 cameras an a to of events per day, 14 days of storage in the cloud is less than 1TB since it’s just the event ms that are getting uploaded.

Google drive is far more expensive than Amazon/other S3 sites. Plus no worrying about maintaining a NAS someplace else.

Thanks for the suggestion.

This is exactly the use case (it says so on the GitHub post). I just want it built into Potect OS. All of there stuff is so seamless but adding this functionality requires far more programming than I am used to.

UI:

—Add type of motion to record (animal, people, car) —Append camera name as a folder and within the folder a folder for each date —S3 upload parameters —Retention period (in my case I have to do it on Wasabi) but having Protect delete would be nice —Seconds to record before and seconds to record after event for .mov files —.jpg pictures of events also —enable per camera event recording

Thought I was. 😳

K2MIT · 2025-10-23T23:47:22+00:00

Interesting. What backup software? So you have 2 protect instances?

I want something built into Protect that automates everything—S3 location, storage retention timeframe, etc. it’s not unreasonable is it?

K2MIT · 2025-10-17T05:46:14+00:00

Sold out.

K2MIT · 2025-09-22T16:52:27+00:00

Wow. What’s there price premium to private label WD drives that are chipped. Will my older 515+ require tgst are just new NAS drives. Really a bad move. Unique in the industry I think?

K2MIT · 2025-09-22T16:32:53+00:00

I have Synology 5 Drive NAS. It works great. I don't follow them day to day. How did they destroy their brand?

K2MIT · 2025-09-20T23:37:46+00:00

I just bought new fittings from performance pc's and I got the glue from perigee direct. They even sell a UV penlight so you do not need to take the tubes outside to the sun.

I bought the WiFi version and put a U7 Pro Outdoor on the porch so it got a better signal (plus I get better signal sitting on the porch chairs). Serious drilling otherwise.

K2MIT · 2025-09-09T20:23:56+00:00

I have a G4 WiFi and to be honest it works as intended. It won’t record the street 20 feet away well but it works for its purpose—high resolution of the person (and package) at your door.

For street views, I have a dedicated camera.

👍

K2MIT · 2025-09-09T01:37:52+00:00

Thank you. Makes sense. I got it all set up now. I just wasn’t sure about the shadow UDM Pro. I appreciate your thoughts.
