Also, government is the enemy.

Here, more context. You're welcome.

You can't just enter some numbers in the refinery controls and get whichever products you want from a barrel of oil. There are very real limits and costs associated with cracking and reforming. Fluid catalytic cracking is the most common, but there are still fixed ranges for the outputs in which it operates.

I don't know what A or B segment are. I'm Canadian but in North America in general we have Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas and Mazda 3s. Fiat 500s are pretty small. Various Kias and Hyundais I can't name.

None of them sell very well though. I'd imagine anything smaller would sell in such tiny numbers as to not be worthwhile, which is exactly what happened with Smart cars and Honda Fits among others. The Civic is the only actual car to make the top ten sellers list here, the rest are trucks and SUVs. You can't really expect to have a vast selection of small cars for so few people in the market.

Like the parent poster I can't figure out why people think other people buy trucks because there are no cars available. There are no cars available because people prefer trucks by a large margin.

I suspect most other world leaders will be skipping that.

I can only assume they (wrongly) think that is why other people choose to drive trucks and SUVs.

There are lots of small imported cars in the US market for people who want them. Most people want trucks and SUVs. It's funny how that seems to make so many people's heads explode. See my sig.

I've looked at OpenIPC and I've seen some other unofficial camera firmware hacks for various cameras I've owned. Have not tried any as I've had no need of the extended functionality. Well except Magic Lantern on my Canon DSLR, but that is different.

Yes, for any sort of longer range dedicated wireless links are the way to go. I've set up many bridges from Cisco and Cambium before I retired. You can also use a wifi range extender (I've used some TPlink ones) to convert wired cameras to wifi. I recently did this with some cameras that could not do WPA3 or 5Ghz, now they do, and the cable between them allows for more optimal placement for the best signal rather than where the camera happens to be.

2.4 Ghz is non ionizing. If your access point does not kill you your microwave (which runs at the same frequency) probably won't either.

Sorry, I meant the integrated (the "i" in iGPU) built into the CPU. You mean this one?: "Intel OpenVino: OpenVino can run on Intel Arc GPUs, Intel integrated GPUs, and Intel CPUs to provide efficient object detection. Supports majority of model architectures Runs best with tiny, small, or medium models"

I'm actually currently migrating from iSpy (now called Agent DVR) on Windows 10 to Zoneminder on Rocky Linux. Both are perfectly good DIY solutions.

Txs for the info. Both my NVRs are a bit older than that, but they do need an update soon. My understanding was using the CPU worked relatively poorly for Tensorflow, but I guess that too is relative ie the # of cams, resolutions, FPS, etc.

Don't get me wrong, I totally appreciate the point of ONVIF as an attempt to standardize what are often vendor specific protocols or commands. That it makes it easier to find the stream is a bonus IMO, and as you say, does help target buyers know it has one.

If you must use wifi try to avoid 2.4 if you don't want the cameras to go down when you use the microwave, for instance.

In my experience ONVIF is most useful for cameras that also support PTZ and/or 2-way audio. If you don't need/have those features RTSP support is probably sufficient.
