We usually put on something like a kids movie or a sitcom. I avoid action shows or anything with loud noises or explosions.

Someone already mentioned it, but Bluey seems to work. We also put on shows like the Golden Girls or Family Matters, because it is good wholesome family entertainment, and she’s family.

Yikes. I don’t use the website or share links, but that is a bit concerning.

Oh well… they are screwed to my house now.

I recently invested in some Eufy (Anker) cameras for my house, and they store data locally to a hard drive in a small standalone machine.

I don’t know how much I trust them, but I trust them a lot more than the Amazon ring cameras I replaced.

Just text ANGRY to 463737 and donate $5, $10, or $25 so we can do anything

Thanks, PoopMonster, that’s a good tip!

If you have a server running, I wouldn’t buy more hardware. They have good example documentation for just such a configuration:

If your server already has those ports bound (specifically the DNS port 53) you are going to have to get creative; otherwise it’ll work well!

Worst case, a cheapo pi 3 will do the job. At one point I had it running on a pi zero, so hardware requirements are pretty low.
