I was going to clean house and stuff tonight but got lazy. Not sick, just lazy. Maybe a bit sore from my workout last night, maybe weather changing again. Don't feel bad.
I'll get the dishes done before bed and call it a draw. May do more stuff tomorrow night after the gym. Then more on Thur night.
Fri I'm going to karaoke.
Bought tickets online for the circus this Sat. Daughter said she wants to go. I checked and Ringling Brothers isn't coming to town this year.
Also ordered a new trackball for the PC. Been wanting to get one for over a year. Got one for work computer a long time back. Now the mouse has become so buggy it's really on my nerves. Not putting it off any more.
After the security cameras, have to reign my spending in a bit. Not going on some big spree. Just catching a few things up. Then back to being more patient and getting things accomplished on a slower, steadier pace.
I am glad the price on hard drives has come down. A 2 terabyte drive will hold 2000 hours of video, so roughly 80 complete days. Of course, that depends on video quality. Besides, with 4 cameras that means 20 days each. That's enough. If anything happens which needs video pulled, I should know within 3 weeks. I will have to play around with different settings to maximize effectiveness and storage. I think I'll max out camera density at 6 cameras, so that would hold about 2 weeks of video. Still enough.
Why the hangup on security cameras? Because I have seen an increase in abnormal traffic down the street in the last few months. Way too many cars driving up and down a dead-end street during the day. If there is anything actually suspicious about it, I expect it to decrease as soon as I install the cameras and announce them. There is no good reason there should be 4-5 vehicles an hour driving down a dead-end street but there is.
I'm figuring 3 cameras for the front of the house, 1 for the back and 2 inside.
