    I end up doing a lot of lazy maths, and remembering rough numbers.

    45MPG? That’s about 10 miles per litre.
    8 inches? Eh, 20cm.

    Anything remotely technical, I convert everything to metric (and actually take the time do accurately).
    Having the inch-fractions to mm table on the back of a ruler is very useful when using old drill bits and spanners.


  • I use them, and I love them.

    They’re banned from the internet, and never complain.
    I use both SD cards inside the cameras, and dumps over SFTP.

    The general standard of integration with HASS is very good (IR control, alerts, streams, etc.)
    If you want to access streams over a VPN, make sure that you configure the IP addresses manually in the app, rather than letting it auto-find (took me a while to work this out).

    Doorbell cam: Lovely bit of kit. Button press and person detection hooks in nicely with HASS things.
    I really like being able to answer delivery people (and be silly with visitors). 2-way audio works well in the app, I keep meaning to try integrating it with HASS now the latest version has capability baked in.

    810A: Decent picture quality, the only fly in the ointment is that it uses H265 for full res, and a lot of open source things don’t officially support it.

    510: Good value, and decent quality image. There is a firmware floating around that adds pet detection features too.
