I guess it’s a bad pic. Just 12v through micro USB. I will probably hardwire them at some point. Add it to the list of projects.

I bought one 3 years ago after I had two close calls in a week. But hardwiring it was out of the question in the C300. Now I have a GLC300 and the dashcam is still sitting in the box 3 years later. I really should get it installed and wired.

My 2022 has the “dash cam” but it only works when car is running which is fine if something happens when I’m driving. An incident will trigger the camera to record, or I can activate to capture something I see that doesn’t effect me. I’m sitting on the fence regarding getting one hard wired to capture stuff when parked.

Yeah I thought I lucked out with the cayenne because it has a 12v outlet in the passenger footwell. I took off the trim and ran the cable all hidden and shit just to find out that pos outlet is hot all the time!

For some reason the outlets in the truck are hot all the time also except the one in the rear seat and don’t currently have a long enough cable to run it back there. Could connect it to one of the up-fitter switchers since they serve no purpose right now, but then I would still have to turn it on and off.

Hmmmm… the whole reason I want to hardwire is so that it’s NOT on when ignition is off and drains battery. I know they sell some hardwire kits that are suppose to detect when car voltage drops below a certain level then kill the camera.

I guess I just don’t park in enough public lots to care that much for that.

I love me some Shambala beads. I have necklaces and several bracelets. I bought these to wear as a set: White Turquoise, Tigers Eye and Rhodium.

Pisses me off that its essentially the same camera as the Garmin Catalyst but won't do double duty.

This is where I give props to Tesla with their "Sentry Mode". The ability to live stream video remotely is neat. The concept of being a deterrent to would-be thieves or vandals is a nice peace of mind. I think the giant screen in the dash also shows an illustration aka warning that the car is in said Sentry mode to people don't mess with it.

Apple TV 4k 5th Gen and Eve Weather for HomeKit. I want to set up a Thread-based HomeKit network with some HomeKit capable devices. An Apple TV 4k serves as a Border Router for HomeKit and also plays my Fulgaz 4k rides for my smart trainer. I've read that Thread-based home device networks have good coverage and HomeKit can be set up to be local only (nothing goes to an outside server). I had planned on getting the new Apple TV 4k anyway and the Eve Weather device is a cheap way to test Thread and HomeKit.

One of my staff saw this in the Lego store and said it was huge and awesome and I should get it. So I did. I'm more of a Honda guy when it comes to two wheels, but this looks like a cool project. Roku remote for scale.

I have the Note 20 Ultra, I like to update my PC stuff but when it comes to phones I'll wait for the next iteration. I normally wait 2 years.

Still on my Note 10+

Clicked through all the promo jargon to discover that @ $775 with discounts and trade in - there's simply not enough "new" to entice me to make the switch yet.

Apple HomePod Mini in space gray. Another part of my HomeKit setup. This will act as a Thread router and a speaker phone for my home office. Next up, garage door opener adapter for the HomeKit. Any recommendations?
