100k is ridiculous for that I agree.

I watch a lot of videos on people building out those sprinters. That's a retirement dream for me and the wife. We would problem buy one and tweak it though instead of a complete build. We want to do it in Europe. Have a permanent base in her home town of Bad Sackingen, Germany and just travel 90% of the year
Pics of wife?

:fuckyeah:

Stupid simple connection. 10 mins of firmware update, reading and installing all in (with 2 mins of searching for a screw bit)

The mount is very simple but is accommodating after some twisting and adjusting. I didnt think I could get an angled view and only flat mount :derp: just twist it and angle. They sell better pivot mounts.

Will see if the :mahtroy: 's come at night.

:notbad: for wireless battery cameras. Will be interested to hear about the real world battery life you experience.

I got them in my early 30s. Came off and felt great. Then the permanent retainer came off and I neglected getting it put it back on. Before I came to Michigan I went to the orthodontist and tried to. They were like nah, your teeth have moved too much. And now they are almost back to where they were before. 5k in the torlet

they say it will do 4400 captures of 1080p video @ 5 second intervals. That is where the "2 years" come from. I upped it to 10 seconds and 15 seconds for my carport. They aren't the most sensitive either, even with it set to max "9" You have to be at most 10' away to trigger it. But for the price point and free server space, it works for me. The $0/mo option is nice considering every other easy kit has monthly fees to use more features and storage.

Every time I look at it, I start laughing. But not a cheerful, mirthful laugh. More like a wild, panicky laugh as I contemplate how I'll ever finish this bag of marshmallows. I may end up willing these to my grandchildren, which means I need to get busy finding a husband because I'm 37 years old and don't even have a children yet. It's TOO MUCH PRESSURE! Really, seriously, if you're drunkenly surfing Amazon at 3 a.m. and think, "i've always wanted a box of Lucky Charms but none of the yucky oat bits," reconsider. Turn back. Maybe start with the pound bag and see how that works for you. Don't make the mistake I made.

Wow. At the bottom of the page they have a link to an 8 pound SKU.
