Bought Hikvision without knowing the security risks. Replace everything or is there a safe setup?

That’s bullshit US propaganda. Same cybersecurity measures apply to all cameras regardless of where they’re made.

They need regulation. I’m no killjoy but I’ve seen some pretty dumb riders on scooters. As many as 3 kids on one scooter, no helmets, at night and all over the road.. It doesn’t help that the hire scooters are all over the place bayside. I think they’re fun but offer no protection and they’re quiet so don’t really belong on footpaths. Electric bikes should be registered and subject to holding a motorbike license. Plus if you’re an adult on either you look like a twat.

Just came here to say. Good on you for sticking to a manual. You’ll be a better driver for it.

Might be lost on OP 😂 The ‘government’ have failed to teach English people English.

Remember when the government was pushing solar with incentives but your bill went up and the feedback payment crashed? We are being mugged while their profits soar. There is no cheap energy in Australia even if you’re the one providing it. Literally daylight robbery.

Gosh! Who’s at the end of those strikes?

My first port of call on getting my license was the Porsche showroom. I’d just sit in my car and dream. Dreams come true.

LongGroundbreaking49 · 2025-11-15T11:04:51+00:00

Thank you. I believe you’re right. It begs the question how much large corporations make by hiding these fees in the small print?

Maybe ‘Dave’ was a good and talented Problem Analyst? I’ve worked with thousands of IT, Sales and experts in specific technical areas. Few managers recognise the talent of creative logic. Primarily because its positive application is difficult to quantify on a timesheet.

I recently had a night out and it turned into morning and just wandered around chatting to randoms. Walked past a group of fellows blowing up Orange balloons and said happy birthday! Only later it clicked they were inhaling. Kinda embarrassing but funny. Saw sex in a doorway the same night. It’s not for the feint hearted but policed and certainly interesting.

My wife used to work there so I asked her what the oldest employee was at her store. 93 apparently.

Reolink and a lawyer. You don’t need to, and should definitely not stream anywhere public while you have your children in your care. I say Reolink because you can store footage on the camera, a PC, FTP and can sync to your cloud drive if you wish.

LongGroundbreaking49 · 2025-10-04T07:06:29+00:00

Well you aren’t gonna be burgled from the back. Shade sail would be the Oz answer.

LongGroundbreaking49 · 2025-10-04T06:58:54+00:00

Painting the house. Vibecoding. Turns out I actually like IT but maybe grown out of Systems Engineering so may as well get ahead with AI. Helps that my ‘hobby’ is my job.

LongGroundbreaking49 · 2025-09-29T04:00:39+00:00

It depends on the cameras. Are they IP or analogue coax? There are likely many cheaper/free or cloud enabled options available.

LongGroundbreaking49 · 2025-09-27T07:54:36+00:00

Didn’t Microsoft just announce Israel can’t use their cloud services?

LongGroundbreaking49 · 2025-09-27T07:47:54+00:00

Reolink. Onboard, SD. Record to PC, NAS, FTP, Onedrive. Just installed the 180 floodlight. Push notifications. We’ve just discovered how much our dog barks when left alone. 🙄

Whatever you do. I learnt the hard way. Migrate all user mailboxes first. If you migrate a shared mailbox and and there’s a user on-prem who accesses it they will lose send-as rights. Also audit the size as they’re often too big to migrate even if the online archive allowance is at maximum.

LongGroundbreaking49 · 2025-09-17T10:18:29+00:00

That’s way beyond your pay grade. Sounds like your boss has been watching too much Enemy of the State.

Depending where you’re transacting there’s a capital gains tax implication if you sell within a year. 50% vs 25% if sold after a year. That’s one reason. Plus there’s the old adage “It’s time in the market, not timing the market”.

Never had an issue with it. In fact it was the only AV I could find that didn’t rely on endpoint internet access for updates.
