This is entirely local. No fees. I run Synology Surveillance Station because it came with the NAS I bought. But you can use something like iSpyconnect on a normal PC or Mac to view and record multiple camera feeds. So you could buy one of these cameras and the only additional cost would be a PoE switch for multiple cameras or a PoE injector if you're only going to use one camera. iSpyconnect has a remote viewing option for phones, etc. I just VPN into my home network and view the local stream.

I liked my Ring doorbell when I got it. Then I found out after some time that I would need to have a subscription to continue using it.

It's now just a fancy looking, normal doorbell.

Well worth the cost.

Is that wired for power of for recording? I too have the Eufy and am less than satisfied with the constant alerting for my flag; even with the motion boxes selected. It's so bad I turn it off during the day.

I have the non-AI version and the picture is great. Setting up the monitored areas is straightforward, but of course it's not "smart" so anything that enters one triggers the recording. Do you need the cloud service for the AI to work?

It's PoE (Power over Ethernet). So the single cable carries power and data. The AI in this might be fooled by a flag if the flag is big enough.

No, the AI works by itself. Same webpage settings as the version you have except there are options to trigger on vehicle and human only.

I've been to EAS. VMR Wheels is close by.

Not sure if that's it based on the pic, but it's been years.

New massage chair, although they delivered the wrong color. The old one started dying after 11 years.

Human Touch Certus replacing our old Inada Dreamwave.

Practice patience. If riding is indeed a new thing, you're gonna be stunned at the power. Ever read Jonathan Livingston Seagull? He learned to fly as fast as thought. A crotch rocket is as close as you'll ever get to that. Think it, twist the throttle, and you're there. It's addictive and dangerous if you're not careful. Respect the power.

I am very patience and incredibly cautious when it comes to my personal safety. Fx I had my 335i for five months before I floored it for the first time. I didn’t buy the bike because of its performance but because I have back issues and this one fitted me best. Besides the bike I bought top tier protection gear along with it.

And I'd imagine that Denmark has similar licensing procedures as Germany? I know in Germany you couldn't just go buy a bike and take a quick test to get a license. It was a long process. At least it used to be.

Absolutely. To get the license it takes at least 29 lessons of theory, at least 22 lessons of practical training (15 hours of road training and the rest is technical driving skills), a first aid course and the training bike must have a certain amount of power. Think its about 80 hp or more. Normally it takes 8-12 weeks to get the license. I can start in december and I should expect to have the license in march.

I wish it was like that here in the U.S. Maybe we wouldn't have so many nitwits crashing into each other.

This looks interesting. Is it good for your back?

Been getting lower back pain the past few months. Scheduled to get X-rays soon but I just think it's an old back that's starting to show it's age.

We had issues here as well so some years ago the rules were changed. Today we have three levels of the motorcycle licenses. First level can be taken at the age of 18 and allows for a maximum of 15 hp. The second level can be taken after two years of having the first level or the age of 21. The second level allows for motorcycles up to 48 hp. Most young beginners simply wait until they are 21 at least. The last level requires you to have had the second level of license for at least two years or the age of 24. Again many simply wait until they are 24. Since I double that I am applying for the final level. If you want to upgrade your license you always need to take a minor course before upgrading.

The first one was one of the best purchases we ever made and it was a no-brainer that we would replace it when it finally kicked the bucket. They are not cheap, but are great for the neck, back and pretty much everything else.

Things have advanced quite a bit since our original one, so the new one will be much better for me as the roller can now go from your neck to the top of the hamstring. My main issue revolves around the sciatic nerve, so this one will do a much better job on this.

Both my wife and I use it pretty much daily.
