Webcams
I have had these camera's up for some time, and have had them online for some time, and then took them off again. This was mostly because I used my ASRock ION330HT to make it all work, and after I decided to no longer have it running 24/7, I had no computer to bring the images online.
Now I finally took the time to make it work again, this time with everything running over my QNAP TS-219P nas instead of the ASRock.
Check them out, you can find them in the top under "Webcams"
I have posted this in multiple categories because I am going to update this with more info about how it all works.
Garage door – End stop modification
This is the original end stop switches. Looking good, but totally unreliable. The switch in the end at the open position works 4 out of 5 times, and the one in the closed position works in like 1 out of 10 times. No idea why it is like that, the switch is triggered inside, but no connection send. Inside there are a little switch, often found behind the open/close buttons on a optical drive in a computer, probably not designed for out door use, but still put on a out door garage door opener.
And here is what i am going to take their place... Magnetic activated switches! These are designed to be located on the outside of cooling trailers, where they can get wet, cold and hot. 100% sealed by epoxy in the end. The top one is how they look with the original wire, and the bottom one got my wires on, with a 3 wire cable soldered on surrounded by heat shrink tubing with glue inside.
