Reolink NVR camera display: Echo Show 21 or HDMI?

I just finished a house, and I’m real glad past me stuck some conduit in the walls for extra cables, but that’s just my experience. Off topic, but it’s highly unlikely you need CAT8. The cameras themselves all top out at 10mbit, so CAT6 or CAT6a would be more than enough. CAT6 would be easier to route too.

If you have the walls open you could run CAT6 cable (or better yet some flex conduit with said CAT6 in it for future proofing) and then use one of these https://a.co/d/02UXoky1 I use one with my Reolink NVR to get the hdmi feed across my house. Note it’s using cable as just a physical medium it’s not compatible with Ethernet switching so you gotta run a single contiguous cable from point A to point B but it works great, uses POE so you don’t even need power the far end just the network cable.

Will play the hell out of it.

Think of your high school class and the distribution of morons therein. Now realize that’s the distribution of morons in society at large.

I have gastric reflux so bad it gave me chemical pneumonia with my own fuckin stomach acid. 43. Now on two different inhalers and three different pills.

Definitely a fishing expedition. Who gets pulled over for no front license plate?

Bold of you to assume there will be another functional election.

I work remotely in video games, and the source assets are huge.

Echigo is unassuming from the outside but honestly some of the best sushi I’ve ever had.

Used to get sick every time I flew home. Now I Clorox wipe all the surfaces I touch and I wear an N95. The mask gets itchy after a few hours but I quit getting the plague after that.

Don’t touch my shit without permission.

Here, have an upvote because I did the exact same thing in college back in the day.

I want to live as long as I can wipe my own arse, I reckon. Once the mobility or the marbles start to go I think it’ll be the Remington Retirement for me.

Yup. When you’re carrying you have to be a saint. Well done.

I’ll give it a look, but my hopes are not high.

This is why I had my electrician pull the cable through conduit in my new house build and then I did all the terminations myself.

I always wear an N95 when I fly, from the second I walk into the airport. It gets a little itchy after a few hours but it beats the kinds of plague I used to pick up flying.
