  • Blinky Orb

    Watch closely, and you will see a blinking orb. I call them Blinky.

    Had to edit the video more, box with names on it, not that it matters. No idea if there’s a way to make the text visible on box anyways. Increasing brightness in GIMP doesn’t make it visible. The video might not contain the text data. Thanks IR. In that case, the fridge should be blurred too. But old videos too.

  • Bug?

    Doesn’t look to be close to camera, and disappears. If the bug is close, then the bug must be tiny. Now if the bug isn’t close, hard to believe they are a bug, as they disappear.

  • Orb 6/23/23

    Looks like a small orb to me.

    Apparently VideoToolBox can’t encode video at the resolution of my security camera, it can do 1080p. I just used the software encoder. Didn’t take long on Mac mini, but should have done on desktop, since it was using software anyways.

  • Can you see a fly on a security camera with IR or night mode off?

    If not, I don’t know what they are. That isn’t dust, I know that. Pretty sure, dust only shows up on IR.

    That reminds me, I need to increase the brightness on that camera.

    The title should be “Are flies visible on security camera with IR or night mode off?”. Or maybe “flying bugs” instead of flies. Saying you, implies just one person, you. But perhaps you can see flies on security camera footage, but I can’t. I’ll keep the wrong or right title.

    And that might be a big fly, if it they are a fly.

    The resolution sucks, so zooming in is useless. But if it’s like the ball of lights on IR, I don’t know what flying bug that is.

    If the IR was on, it should have been in black and white.

  • Of course the news isn’t covering it

    You really think Fake(Fox) News is going to cover that? They are all about money and power.

    Well, I don’t watch Fake News. But the other news ain’t covering it either. I don’t watch much news anymore. Only when at my mom’s house sometimes.

    They mostly talk about republicans. Like taking rights away, being pro life, but for the death penalty. Making it easier to cheat in elections, and harder to vote of course. They won’t change their policies, not unless somebody rich gives them money, for different policies. Is it even what they believe? Or are they just being controlled by money? Could be the same with democrats too.

    So maybe don’t vote for anybody. But then you risk a republican getting elected. How about republicans have the house or senate, and a democrat has the presidency like now? Maybe not the house, as then they can blackmail America.

    And why won’t either party impeach somebody in their own party? Apparently if somebody like Trump, was a democrat, democrats wouldn’t vote to impeach them.

    So no party will go against a horrible person in their own party. Is there any country, where they will? If not, I should become an indigenous person.

  • Who pushed the blanket in?

    Video

    Watch it carefully, at first, I didn’t notice it being pushed in. Just lifted up. Since the camera isn’t in room, you can’t see if I lifted it up.

    But you can see, I didn’t push it in. And I don’t think it was pulled in either.

    Now I kind of want the camera in my room, to see what I’m doing, or not doing while sleeping. But there’s no shelf on the wall I’d put the camera anymore, so I’d have to put it on the wall, and probably threw out the wall mount thing, if it came with one. I don’t want the Ethernet cable to get tripped on. So it won’t be going somewhere else, WiFi isn’t secure. I don’t want a hacker watching me sleep. Also, not allowing anything on WiFi to connect to my FTP server. And you can’t use a VPN with it easily, you’d have to connect it to something else. Like a Raspberry Pi, or some other Pi with WiFi. That could work though, make sure the camera is only accessible from the VPN, and the Pi. You’d plug the camera into the Pi using Ethernet. Anybody sniffing the air, will see encrypted traffic.

    Well, it appears as though, somebody I can’t see, loves me. Perhaps more then one spirit I can’t see loves me.

    I didn’t bother adding a watermark to it, you can probably remove it using AI, so not worth the trouble. You can hear a fan or the AC. Probably the air purifier. It’s on full speed from 12 AM to 10 AM. Or is it the Orange Pi 5’s fan? I’m replacing that soon.

    Believe what you want, I know there’s plenty of stuff humans can’t see. Just listen to some of the stories of the past, we used to be able to see everything, and then they installed a filter, so we couldn’t. Somebody went to war or something, with the “Gods”. Are they Gods or Aliens as humans call them? No idea, but the God I believe in, is unconditional love.

    It also felt like somebody was by me in bed, maybe only when sleeping though. Somebody said it’s easier for spirits to interact with you when sleeping, perhaps you are at a frequency that’s easier to interact with. But also, they aren’t trying to scare me. They are literally giving me love.

    Well, that’s all the proof I need, that somebody is pushing the blanket in, and possibly laying by me in bed. Well, maybe not the same one. Tonka might not lift the blanket like that, but she would lay by me.

    I still don’t understand, how dogs are able to give humans so much love, but humans generally don’t give each other that much love. Does that mean dogs are evolving faster then us?

    Update

    Embedded video, converted it to H264, so you can play without downloading it. You can still download it if you want, the old link above still works.

    Pulling it in is doubtful, my arms and hands, are usually by my head, as far as I know. I actually sleep on them with my head. And pillows. Or I think that’s what I do. You could lift it up possibly with your feet, but tuck it in, good luck.

    I have some old Pis, and even a USB WiFi adapter that works with Linux, and plenty of USB Ethernet adapters. So I could put the camera in there, without using an Ethernet cable and putting it on the wall. Not sure if either Pi I have, has WiFi. There Zero ones, one doesn’t have WiFi I think. I assume I kept the old one, no idea where it is. One has a broken camera connector, might have replaced it with a Zero with no WiFi. I think I know where that one is, it’s also in a case. How slow is WireGuard on it though? The server part is on a Pi 4, with 8 GB of RAM, not that RAM matters. But that Zero is slow. So perhaps buy an Orange Pi of some kind, doesn’t need much RAM.

    Nice, Orange Pi makes a Zero Orange Pi.

  • 2-28-23 01.34.27-01.34

    Video

    It does fade away/disappear like dust. Funky looking dust, if it’s dust. Almost looks like something riding on top of part of it.

  • 2-24-23 06.35.04-06.35.23

    Video

    You’ll have to download to play it, it’s H265.

    Seems a little too bright to be dust, and seems to go too far. Don’t know if I’ve ever seen any airborne stuff in here travel like that. I have seen plenty of airborne stuff though.

    And if it’s far away, probably not dust. Too bad the camera doesn’t say the distance.

    And if it was recording dust, I’d think it would record all night long.

    But who knows what it is. Dust does probably disappear though, like that, once it gets far away or lands. Fluff a pillow in front of the camera, and it will disappear. The dust on it will.

  • 2-23-23 #2

    The video was edited, to cut before that shows up, as there isn’t anything before that to look at. And to add the watermark. And I should have cut the ending too. The file size might have been even smaller if I cut the ending too.

    If I didn’t cut most of before it shows up, you might miss it.

    Without the distance, there’s no way to say what it is. If it’s far away, probably not dust. The other camera wasn’t in night mode, so it didn’t record anything. Well, it was recording, but you can’t see it. Not sure it has a view anyways. I could put it on the same schedule, but then neither camera will have color at night with lights on.

    Nice Firefox in Linux, can’t handle playing the entire video, the timer freezes. So maybe I’ll just upload H265 videos from now on, will use less space. You’ll most likely have to download and play in VLC or something. That’s assuming the editor on the Mac mini can save as H265.
