I have this NVR: https://reolink.com/product/rln8-410/ The cameras are always changing, so I'd just pick the ones you like based on the specs.

I have a roof-mounted camera. There are a couple of decisions points. One is whether a system needs to be completely wireless, or if you have the ability to run power or ethernet to the location. Another is if you want the video stored locally (bigger up-front cost for a video recorder), or if it is cloud-only (usually a monthly cost). My setup is a Reolink NVR system, which runs cameras via Power-over-Ethernet. So, I had to go up into the attic and on the roof to run an ethernet cable, which wasn't overly difficult with my house, but could be sketchy for some situations. I like that it runs continuously, I can access the video from everywhere, and I don't have an ongoing cost for data storage. The downside is that it overwrites about every 7 days (I have an 8-camera system) and if the power goes out, oh well. There are multiple camera options. One additional consideration that I figured out after the fact is that it is good if the camera is protected a bit with an overhang. I ended up using a clear anti-squirrel baffle on a pole!

I read all of the doom and gloom in here, and then I see the standings where the Os are the 1 seed in the AL My Twins are stumbling along, probably to the 5 or 6 seed. Unfortunately, due to injuries they have been starting 3 rookies in the rotation after the all-star break, so that doesn't bode well for the playoffs.

You got more in August than I did the entire summer

Looking forward to the pleasant weather starting on Monday. Good riddance, summer.

Cresting the Blue Ridge now. We’ll see exactly how quickly it falls apart. I’ve got 80/71.

Not hard to see why the HRRR kills off any storms as they cross the Blue Ridge this evening.

1.01”. About half and half convection and stratiform. Per CoCoRahs, the top daily rainfall amount in the US was 6.35” just south of Fredericksburg.

Mesos had it

Just a wild radar today. Love the two areas colliding just south of Manassas.

Home is on the eastern edge. 0.30” so far. Im at the office and I can hear Yoda’s cell, though.

Yes, let’s have these storms just sit on 66 for the next 5 or so hours.

Disgusting out again. The mid 70s dews can go away at any time now.

DCA 100

Cleared out now. 91 at home and IAD.

Yup, that tracks

That storm is moving fast

Someone get LWX on it! https://www.weather.gov/lwx/iadnme#sep

If IAD were to hit 100, it would be the latest 100 on record. By a day.

Sure would be nice if it rained

I choose to ignore this reality

The dry conditions are likely helping with both.

Summer record lows are the best record lows.

I’m sure you and others have likely posted it many times before, but the dust climo in the MDR is really interesting. I guess I never really thought of how dramatic the peak is early in the tropical season.

Exactly the same here. Prepped yesterday and will put the seed down this evening. Unfortunately I can only do half of the backyard at once because of the dogs, so I’ve fenced that off and hope that it gains a foothold so that I can do the other half in about a month.
