IT Stuff

Below are some IT stuff I need, they are often costly and not having a proper understanding can result in spending higher for a worse product.

• 4K (8MP) security camera with double video stream, and RTSP support: example
• PoE Switch: PoE+ is welcome but costlier, 4 ports
• Coral USB AI processor: I have a security camera project, and this thing should help with person and vehicle detection
• 4TB security camera HDD: or any NAS grade HDD really, large ones, not small laptop stuff.
• UPS: Power backup for computer, with auto computer power off feature if battery is low.

Stuff I want

this is separated from stuff I need because I don’t need these, but I would like to have. These stuff can be costly. I don’t really care to track how much of the stuff roughly cost.

• RaspberryPi 5 (8GB): small computer for tinkering and experimenting
• Solar panel
