Your doorbell is likely hardwired to a low volt (10 volts I think?) power source, possibly in your attic. So if you want to keep it similar, it's a matter of rerouting that wire.Quote:

I could have gone through the effort of upgrading the transformer (mine's in the utility closet in the basement), but didn't want to go that far. I have a dual battery unit in the garage since there's no available power. It works well, but I really hate charging/replacing batteries.
Yes and no. Our HOA states that all vehicles inside the complex must be currently registered, insured and road worthy I.E. no projects or anything of that nature. You can't have it legal and be rebuilding it or working on it. On top of that, we have assigned parking and one of his was in our assigned spot.Quote:

This became an option recently and I think the target audience is Condo/Apartment dwellers; https://shop.ring.com/products/door-...ecurity-camera
If this was an option when I was setting things up, I probably would have left the existing doorbell alone and gone with this option looking straight out toward the street.
It does and I did look at that but $199 was pretty steep for me. I am hoping this universal cam will work so I don't have to shell out $200 for one camera.Quote:

Dipping your toe in and seeing what you like and don't like is a good idea to find out where you ultimately want to go with a solution. I had Arlo cameras before these.
definitely like an opinion of that meco unit. Regarding a camera picking up bushes moving.Quote:

I'll let you know how it does. The Wyze one currently will pickup the bush moving in the wind but literally won't pickup the car pulling in or someone walking up the door to drop off a package. The Wyze brand also has an option that it will highlight the movement so you know why i is alerting but like I said won't pickup anything that I really want it to. The others around the house work great but they aren't trying to focus through a window.Quote:

Please do let us know what you think of your little Meco.
Reminder: "Post a picture of your latest purchase"
While this topic interests me I'm sure lots of people aren't interested in pages of posts about doorbell cams. Personally I feel that the Amcrest offering is currently best for several reasons. I'd be happy to discuss in a dedicated thread.
Finally my Bushmaster is complete.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...56d93faf45.jpg

Got a new 20" pencil barrel to replace the HBAR non-threaded barrel I had on this carry handle upper. New barrel is 1:7 twist, melonite, with M4 feedramps. Over a pound lighter than the HBAR barrel that came off.
Picked up new triangle handguards while I was at it, these seem to fit nicer than the last pair that was on the upper. Carry handle scope is a Barska 4x20.
Still finishing a new lower build for this one, it'll have the flat trigger guard, and A1 style grip.
GP where did you find the barrel at?Quote:

Thanks
Barrel/Delta ring assembly/handguard/gas tube came from JSE surplus. Very happy with their service. Was originally looking at a government profile barrel, but switched it up to a pencil barrel instead. They offer bare barrels, or a barrel with the barrel nut and front sight already installed.Quote:

Parker Safeway had beef, no chicken. No TP, no sanitary stuff.
KS at Parker& Lincoln had probably 30 or 40 packs of these 4-packs on the shelf with a 1 per customer limit on each paper product. No sanitary. Grabbed one of these and one 2-pack paper towels. Wife didn't get my text and went to Kings after work around 1730 and of course it was all gone.
KS was well stocked with proteins.
I scored some Nyquil and children's tylenol cold & flu at both locations. Though we still had some, it wasn't enough for an extended illness so I grabbed enough for the little guy to get through anything he might catch.
I can't believe we're even talking about this and it's not ammo.
P.S. Many thanks to the forum member that extended an offer to me for some meds if needed. You know who you are and it was immensely appreciated.
I can't wait to use it!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...86f5c1d7ff.jpg

You can rally in front of my house in Parker if needed but you better bring a long cord. I'll tell my neighbors the Ford broke down and we're waiting for a tow truck. LOL.
I'm hopeful as one of the organizers! PM me and I'll get you the detailsQuote:

Shit, PM me anyway, great to meet more GDRV owners. We're planning a summer kick off next month at Cherry Creek provided it's still open! There are a couple of other members of both groups comingQuote:
