I'm pretty sure Reolink are the OEM behind the Uniden cameras, FWIW - at least for some of the other models.

Pretty sure I'm close to hitting that timeframe with the original smart grinder (came with my dual boiler in March, 2013) - and it's not…

There are the old and new home ultimate gift cards - sure it's not the old style, which can't be used online? The older style are in person…

Pretty much the same as the Adventure Kings one, as far as I can tell - Generic Chinese motor, but good basic home one as a backup (we got…

If you're on an iPhone, make sure you have bluetooth on and lower power mode off - I found that massively simplifies the initial set up of…

For what it's worth, we've found (based on a PM friends advice) - If you're hiring a cleaner, ask the PM who they recommend / work with -…

Skymuster has much lower speed, and 10x the latency fwiw Even worse for people in the US, where a lot of the sat providers (Viasat /…

I'm about an hour and a half from Melbourne CBD - hardly "middle of the desert", but our town is on fixed wireless, with no fibre (as far…

Setup is easy (plug and play, pretty much - assuming you have field of view - you can test with the app, and the app is pessimistic).…

This changed in August. https://www.reviews.org/au/internet/starlink-satellite-internet-australia-wide/

No - they're low earth orbit, and you're basically jumping between satellites. they currently have over 1600 satellites live, more in orbit…

It's also not a typical parabolic satellite dish, it's a phased array setup

The satellites are ~550km up, so up and back, and then ground stations are located around AU. E.g. One in Koonwarra, VIC

Can install yourself, and lots do. Can buy a pole mount and install on most common antenna mounts - or if you have a tin roof, lots of…

Totally went over my head 😂

We've had a heap of rain, heaps of wind and hail. Of the three, only Hail has caused issues - and the dish was in an unstable area. few…

One big difference is latency - 50ms vs 500-600ms on Skymuster. It may not be a better / cheaper deal, but it's a more accessible…

WA has only come online in the last few weeks - it's possible they've already filled the cells in those areas (there is limited capacity…

You still need to route around the country first, and potentially through other countries. Place a starlink pop in a country, and you have…

As I've commented in sub-comments, I've been using it for months. Generally, pretty solid - once you have a clear field of view of the sky…

Unlimited at the moment, but we're in Beta still AFAIK (at least in Aus), so may change.

Regular runs using https://github.com/geerlingguy/internet-pi (which uses speedtest-cli), on a linux box on gigabit lan to our router.

Hard wired 30m (IIRC) cable with the dishes we get in AU, and pretty serious PoE injector. Also get a basic router, but many people switch…

Super variable - even with super low obstructions. We still occasionally see "network issues" (when the satellite / internet link has…

Aus is still the old round dishes. Ping in AUS isn't typically 20, it depends on location - I average 36.74ms, which is still very…

Not yet, really - we still go via a POP in Sydney. But once v2 satellites (and possibly v1.5, iirc) which have laser links between…

Been on it for a few months here, and have it mounted on the roof - works wonderfully. Much better than the NBN fixed wireless we had…

Oh, they can? I hadn't tried directly yet, just going off Reolinks site +…

Yehp, you just need to do it via the NVR interface (not sure if doable via the web) - but it's all quite easy.

We recently purchased this (from amazon, for a bit more) - and have had a great experience for the price. We had an electricial run cabling…
