I've been posting about my experiences with a Sonoff Cam Slim Gen 2 IP camera that I got from Amazon for £17. I was using the stock firmware but I got a couple more to try Thingino, an open source firmware. This was to eliminate the cloud / paid requirement and get more control... how's it going?

Looked up as I was coming downstairs from the office and saw Virgin’s 787 flight to Seattle pass by. I’ve only (thus far) done that route the other way round with them and on an A350.

The cheap cameras from Amazon arrived and I have just collected them from the locker. Here’s an initial unboxing of what you get. My aim is to use open source firmware and see what I can do, but I will set one up on the proprietary stock system for a while to compare… cc

Traitors Uncloaked masquerading as a “visualized podcast” is nonsense. It’s just a TV show with visible microphones to try and create some sort of radio vibe.

I've been messing with the

I did a little more work on my Redis /
