@autolycos @ai6yr @paperposts you may want to take a look at what the other UW has for sale if you are looking to weigh down your metal shop.

@parsingphase I was somewhat surprised to see that pretty much all the cameras support pan and tilt with object tracking. Some have meaningful zoom - particularly the outdoor ones with higher megapixel sensors. This could be useful if you are needing to keep an eye on multiple feeders.

Can anyone recommend a combination of hardware/software/host for webcams that I could point at some heavily trafficked backyard bird feeders? I’m about to enter a period of reduced mobility and would love to be able both to keep watching and share the joy.

(edit: ideally, something that can stream publicly as well as be viewed in-house)

@parsingphase my recent search for "cloud not required" cameras led me to Reolink. My needs were for indoor WiFi, so I went with the E1 Pro. Home Assistant docs were helpful in picking a model. You can stream with the app (anywhere) or with RTSP if on the same network. RTSP streams can be opened with VLC, which is a nice way to get it onto a big screen. Streaming with the app is supposedly end-to-end encrypted, just in case you are worried about others snooping on your birds. :)

@miah nope, but I have a serious problem with posershell.

@bob_zim @platymew under the covers each dataset can have multiple sets of properties: in addition to the properties you normally use they can have “received properties”. The received properties act as a backup of the normal properties so that when you need to recover, you can restore the original properties. Its been a decade or so since I worked on code near this so I forget the details of the elegant way to restore received properties.

@platymew compression is a property of the dataset. You need to send with an option that preserves properties or have compression set on the parent of the received dataset. Without raw send, the compressed data will be uncompressed when sending and will compress (or not) based on the destination dataset’s compression property.

I’m not sure whether raw send sends properties or not. If it doesn’t, the data that is sent may be compressed but new writes won’t be.

@rationaldoge after a bit of searching I found a map in a screen grab of what I’m sure was a very exciting 5 hour meeting of government officials.

It was much easier to find in this video than I expected. There was a little ask AI button that answered the question “At what point is devils lake discussed?” to which it replied “The discussion about Devil's Lake State Park begins at (1:27:20).”
