Re: Raspberry

you will have more speed if you run a long cat6 cable from PC to the Rasbperry and a POE, but this is a compromise, to have the maximum speed of your camera I also recommend a mini PC

Mark

I was thinking about the same but I have bad news, the blocker is gone, total lack of contrast and visible bubbles.

Having three years of life, could it still be under warranty?
Do we have a Lunt assistance in Europe?
