Can get a Minisforum UN1290 with a 12900HK and 32GB RAM 1TB storage for $655.99 with free 2 day delivery on Amazon, personally I think…

I haven't done that as all my cameras are on my normal network, its a good idea though.

Mybad, autocorrect, its the Coral Dual TPU.

I have the 1220P Beelink, its a great little machine, currently running my Home Assistant with 2000 entities, plus Frigate running 4x 4K +…

I have 4x 833A's and concur they are an excellent camera.

An alternate option is use the FTP upload feature which uploads all clips to an FTP share, I do this to my NAS as well as using SD cards…

Beelink EQI12 has 2 PCIe Gen 3 M2 slots, I have one running my Home Assistant with a dual Coral in one slot and 1TB NVMe in the other slot.…

As much as I hate Apples upgrade model the SSD's used in these is not even remotely on par with Apples SSD options.

I have the Reolink POE camera that I use with an NVR and love it, ethernet is much more reliable than wifi and being powered over ethernet…

This is the trade off with battery powered cameras, if it had constant recording I'd guess it would only last a few days if that.

MeLE Quieter4C N100, 8GB RAM, 128GB eMMC is $265 https://amzn.asia/d/gfLEguE I have 2 of these and they are good little things, the 128GB…

I've had one of these since December and I'm pretty happy with it. Pros: Lots of performance for the price, the 12450h has 4P+4E cores and…

This is overkill as a media PC, an N100 would be plenty capable.

I have one of these and I'm pretty sure that's incorrect, I use it with an ultra wide 1440p monitor which it happily drives at 85hz but…

I have a desktop with a Ryzen 5800G and its a really good CPU for the price, I have no experience with any of the low power models…

I ordered it in December and the only real complaint I have is the Hardware details all say "Default string" instead of manufacturer and…

If you are looking for more grunt these are really good value, I'm using one as a daily desktop and leaving my Ryzen desktop turned off…

It means "low power consumption" and "relatively low performance", but the performance difference is not as wild as it used to be between…

That's odd, I have a Kamrui i5 12450H and it's fine with whatever SSD I put in it.

Kamrui have a model with an Intel i5 12450H which is 4P cores, 4E cores and 12 total threads for $399 for the 16GB RAM model ($599 with…

Their stock management leaves a bit to be desired but BigW are no different I've had cancellations from both KMart and BigW but then…

I can't speak for anyone else but I was going to buy 3 however limited myself to 2 for now, I plan to have all 3 versions side by side on…

Legal doesn't mean morally correct, being realistic about this a big percentage of these were most likely scooped up by bots or resellers…

Yeah, I placed an order last week for one, then 5 mins later the wife said buy another so I did... 1st order has shipped but the second…

This is very little to do with generational difference and more to do with how lazy social media (including forums) has made people.

There's other coins that can be mined on LHR cards that are nearly as profitable as Eth, LHR will not stop miners and the reason I'm seeing…

Colourful are a Chinese brand that have been in the computer graphics card scene since the 90's so while a lot of people haven't heard of…

Great price, they are well more than that at the moment.

Colorful have been around for 25+ years... primarily in the Chinese market but they have made it here on more than a few occasions.

I have the non LHR version and they are fine, perform just like any other 3070, no issues, but the price is high, hold out for a better…
