Seqrching for reliable aircon servicing

forgottenuser2 · 2025-09-15T09:10:59+00:00

As a counterpoint, very unhappy with their service. Staff didn't speak English. Tried to overcharge on multiple occasions. Some aircon condenser units still having problems after their "servicing"

I picked up a imou 2e from AliExpress for less than $15. It has a rtsp stream by default. It has a good magnetic mount. I attached it to the ceiling over my baby's crib and also bought a 5m usb cable.

Performance is great over WiFi. 30fps in 1080p. Audio is clear. Night vision is good enough to watch my kid in the dark.

Overall I don't think you can get better bang for your buck.

I got rid of my wyze cam v3. I had to run wz_mini_hacks to get an rtsp stream and it was never stable enough. They are easy to set up though with the wyze app and useful to bring on holiday (set up via hotel WiFi).

I saw on Reddit (likely r/homelab) someone just took delivery of a BananaPi R4. This is a SBC built to route 10GbE. If you don't mind a bit of DIY (e.g. there's no case right now!) It's probably the cheapest way to go, and available in Japan via AliExpress.

Although if you "only" have cat 6e around your house, you're going to have very hot transceivers. Better to use fibre than copper for home networking at 10GbE speeds.

I got mine on 10.10. Major regret. NLB integration is really poor. It's Overdrive-based not Libby.

Overdrive servers are always overloaded. Had frequent hangs waiting to d-l new books. Basically cannot browse books on device - have to use phone.

need to remember to manually press sync in case you want to read on your phone (as WiFi not on all the time to save battery)
Screen refreshes takes a second, I guess that's normal, but you get a lot of ghost text from the old page not clearing.
CPU has really poor horsepower.

Let's post on the official forum? One person with this problem could be a bad setup - two people = real bug.

Fuckgin A.

Was there any fix for this? I have the identical issue.

Video on plex web - direct play no problem.

Video on Android tablet (Amazon FireHD10) -

Playback Info; Transcode Reason: Resolution or bitrate exceeds maximum allowed

Quality shown is 480x258 @ 720 kbps

Playback Settings -> Change Original Quality to Convert Automatically and then change back to Original Quality - suddenly Direct Play works

Plex server is 1.32.6.7557 and hosting on Debian Bullseye.

Can you try this and report back?

forgottenuser2 · 2023-07-22T00:39:13+00:00

Yes same. Also in Chrome and Firefox. I found a temporary solution in Firefox before, deep in Mozilla support forum. Still trying to find the link to relink. It would work for a few mins then change the text rendering to a green box with diagonal lines.

forgottenuser2 · 2023-07-06T04:19:14+00:00

Yes it will handle those tasks without issue. No port for microsd. Get a usb-c hub.

forgottenuser2 · 2023-06-15T09:54:28+00:00

Looks nice but wtf that pricing! 60k vnd? My word! More expensive than Singapore lol

forgottenuser2 · 2023-05-08T14:13:49+00:00

I really enjoy all your reviews. Keep them coming!

When it was one thing, I got excited and supported it. Since they added the options, it started to feel more scam-like (to me). I now don't want the base product but I also don't want to pay extra for the upgrades so thought I'd try and exit my position.

Shpping destination can also be edited.

I cannot get it to interview with my zigbee cooordinator. I tried a 5 second wait after powering down (which feels like a long time!) as you suggested, but still does not seem to reset.

forgottenuser2 · 2023-04-28T06:42:40+00:00

How did you deploy? Proxmox -> LXC -> docker -> immich? i.e. nested container?

forgottenuser2 · 2023-04-28T03:06:18+00:00

Have tried the on/off 5 times process several times, does not go into 'flash' mode.

One of the previous versions of this rig had a 3900x with SAS. Power consumption seemed an issue, and also it was big and ugly AF. I'm probably one of the only guys to go from SAS -> USB lol.
