So I bought a outdoor security camera the other day to replace one that that was dying. About a day later I noticed on the camera feed that it was foggy, but not on the other cameras I have set up to the same system.
So I went to checked it and found it somehow had water under the protective lens that covers the camera and the LEDs for night vision.

Anyways I've been contacting the seller on amazon and they've asked me for my name, phone number and address.

Is this normal? They said it was because amazon hid it and they can't see my address.

Hello.😊


No,thats unusal .........but "maybe" ok.

I had an "Case" with Verbatim a few Years ago.
Some DVD-R´s from an 100er Spindle had "Production Errors" (bought via Amazon).
I contacted Verbatim directly (I had bought many DVD-R/CD-R Spindels from Verbatim without and Issues).
So they asked me for my Adress and then they sent me a new,free DVD-R Spindle.

Yes the camera was sold by this seller but shipped by Amazon. They did tell me that I could keep the camera and that they would send me a new free one.

    Been trying, semi unsuccessfully, to figure out a TV "streaming dongle" sort of thing that has enough beans to handle Steam Remote Play. The "Chromecast with Google TV 4k" devices that I have introduce so much video latency it's crazy. And I've had no luck finding a good setup with an rPi yet
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Used to think the video latency issue was because it was on wifi, but nope, same shit even after moving them to ethernet

    @Sicklyboy have you tried the xiaomi ones? I have a 4 year old one that managed to work just fine (tested once for fun).
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @Skelletonike, nope, not yet. only tried a LineageOS Android TV build and raspbian (with Plasma Big Screen which I can't get to work) on a pi4. Was thinking about running over to walmart today and seeing if they had their "Onn" brand Android streaming box in stock. Heard good things about those
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Or a 4k firestick, I have several n they work great (mostly stream kodi from NAS drive) n they cheap. $25-50
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I've had such crappy experiences with fire sticks that I don't want anything to do with them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    The old ones were crappy/ slow ui/ weak WiFi but new gen better, at least for me.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But I have seen people liking those ONN stream boxes, and they come w no bloatware which is nice. (firesticks has tons of bloat)
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I also use PiHole on my network which blocks most that crap, I definitely noticed all my smart stuff seems to work better after setting up PiHole

  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Only experience Ive had was with the xiaomi one and with the one supplied by my internet supplier.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BigOnYa, And you must be careful not to find Android TV boxes come preloaded with botnets.

    Hey, maybe he likes to be part of a community! What's wrong with being part of a friendly botnet once in a while
