I built this system for my mother with an old business pc running frigate. I used an old wifi router with ap mode available in the firmware that is only for the cameras.
It's a simple way to make sure the cameras won't have internet access without relying on whatever router they may have. I added a second Ethernet port to the business PC because I had the parts, but for one or two cams you could theoretically do all over wifi. Install wireguard so you can manage it remotely. Then decide if you want to bother forwarding the ports and getting a domain setup, or if local only viewing is good enough.
For cameras, I used these amcrest ASH22-W which are good enough for the price. 1080p for $33
One thing to remember with these cameras- mounting them high gives you a bigger field of view, wipes out any possibilities of identification. The frigate models also don't do as well. Doorbell cameras are better for that.
I'd see if your brand offers that option, and try and retrofit the OEM parts. It's often the matter of cutting an extra hole or two and wiring it up to your controller. The tub will likely have indentations to make room for the part, even if that model doesn't include the feature.
This is a whirlpool, Hotpoint, KitchenAid, etc door opener
If that's a dead end, maybe look at a wax motor. They are very cheap, easy to control, compact, and high force. Only problem is, the stroke is only . 25 inches, some up to . 5 inches. There is enough force that you could make a lever.
Because reviewers started obsessing with zero bezels and thinness, so manufacturers had to also maximize those things.
I saw a laptop review where there was a hole punch camera, so no mechanical shutter. The yt personality thought that was stupid, so they asked the manufacturer what they were thinking. "Our last product had the shutter but you gave it a poor review because the bezels were too big. We designed for smaller bezels to get a better review"
I have a Shelly plug that is programmed internally to turn itself on if off for 20 seconds. Home assistant turns the plug off for 10 seconds if curl ip.me fails for 15 minutes.
My modem is plugged into that.
I've never had a router or firewall crash if I wasn't fucking with it and did something ~stupid~ ill-advised, so I don't try that kind of stuff unless I'm home.
I use it to put transaction dollar limits on my subscriptions, satellite radio in particular, so they can't jack up my rates automatically.
I don't put much stock in privacy.com being truly private, but it does break the data chain of using the same card for everything. I wish my credit union offered virtual cards.
Some search engines let you block sites from future results. If I'm on my desktop, I'll knock out the obvious ones on the first page of a search. It's not much, but it's honest work.
The headline is a touch sensational- nine of them are bare headers on the motherboard for the front of the case. The I/O shield 'only' has 13 type A and three type C.
Surely the TPM has this power
