Masterbuilt 30″ Propane Smoker Notes

Filed under: Food and Drink,Links — Tags: Food, tips and tricks — Landis V @ 2:24 pm

Recently bought a Masterbuilt propane smoker from Cabelas. Had kicked the idea around for a while, and the price was the lowest I’d seen by 25%, so went ahead with the purchase. Got it assembled the other day and ready for a burn-in run, started this post to keep track of any notes I come across on it.

It was noteworthy that I had to make some minor modifications to complete the assembly. It looks like they sent me two front legs for the same side, so one was missing one of the semi-necessary holes to mount the control panel. Probably could have gotten by without it, but I just drilled a hole and added the fourth nut and screw.

LaView CUBE camera system

Filed under: Android,Links,Linux,Security,Software,Video,Web Applications — Landis V @ 5:46 pm

Bought one of these a while ago. It’s alright. Not particularly secure, software is annoying, and I think there’s a lot more that can be done with it. Gradually working on improving it, this post will capture random notes on it.

Bought tinyCam Monitor Pro in the Play store when it was on sale a while back, fought with cameras for a bit before giving up. Came back to it for a bit today and was able to make it work with the following settings:

Camera vendor: (Generic)
Camera model: Generic URL
JPEG/MPEG/RTSP request: rtsp://ip.addr.or.hostname:554/H264?ch=(1-8)&subtype=1
- Where ip.addr.or.hostname is the IP or hostname of the LaView device and (1-8) is the channel/camera number you wish to add.
Protocol: RTSP over UDP (MPEG/H264/H265)
Username: valid username on device (default “admin”)
Password: valid password for username provided above (default for admin “123456”)

ONVIF Device Manager on SourceForge, appears to provide an NVR for network video forwarding and storage on port 8000. Not a ton of info on the port/protocol, but did run across it in the setup. http://sourceforge.net/projects/onvifdm/

Somewhat relevant manual: http://www.laviewusa.com/media/attachment/file/u/s/user_manual_d1_dvr_d5100.pdf
