11/30/2023 0 Comments Security cameras with motion lights![]() ![]() This is why I recommend using a camera with a PIR feature for certain home and businesses. It only triggers the alarm when a person or animal of a particular size move into a given space. As you may already know, alarm motion detectors are not triggered by small objects or insects crawling in front of their sensor. They are primarily used in PIR motion detectors that are found in today’s home and business security alarm systems. A PIR is a Passive Infrared sensor that measures infrared light radiating from an objects field of view. One of these solutions came from a customer in Orlando Florida who experimented with our security camera system settings and came up with an even better way to make sure he knows that there is someone at his front door and that it is not another bug strolling in front of the camera lens sending false alerts.įor my customer’s who use security cameras to cover their home’s front and back door, I always suggest purchasing a 2-way audio security camera that has a PIR sensor built-in. Luckily, I found a couple of solutions that eliminate unnecessary motion alerts from security camera systems. You may find that you’re missing alerts when there is a real person or animal in the camera’s view. If you ever contacted tech support from a security camera company, you’ve already been told that the best solution is to lower the sensitivity to your motion detection settings but that can defeat the purpose of true motion detection. Motion that is detected from rain, snow or falling leaves can activate the camera system’s sense of motion. Outside weather can also be a major factor in receiving false motion notification. This can cause false positives every few seconds and drive you to near insanity every time your mobile phone or tablet notifies you that your camera senses motion. Worse yet, outdoor security cameras will detect motion from insects crawling or flying in front of the camera lenses during the day and especially at night. ![]() Most security camera systems are notorious for detecting motion indoors from fine dust particles floating around at night to the changes in light conditions indoors from sunlight creeping through the windows. If you’re reading this article then you already know that your security camera’s motion detection feature was poorly designed.

11/30/2023 0 Comments Catan console edition switch![]() However, one of the things I came to see as I played games with different opponents was that Catan: Console Edition maintains its slow pace in the digital version. Overall, the options of opponents really make this a fun game to play for hours on end, and it feels more rewarding to build settlements than ever before. The cross-platform play will certainly make this an enticing choice for those looking to play with friends on a variety of systems. These make for good options that can suit any player and offer fun experiences in playing the game in different ways. The CPU play felt authentic to playing against real people, and playing online was quite fun and competitive with few issues in matchmaking. Players have the option of playing against CPUs, local players on the same system or against online opponents with support for cross-platform play. It may take a little adjusting to remember every button as opposed to the functionality of a tabletop game, but this layout is streamlined in terms of accessibility and grasping different actions.īy the time you're set loose to do what you please, the amount of game modes is excellent to choose from. I imagine this would be an effective tutorial for a newcomer just as it can be for veterans.

Despite some small issues, this is surely a game I plan to revisit a lot over the years and will make for fun competition with friends. Ultimately, I found that Catan: Console Edition offers a very fun experience that doesn't just retain its classic charm and robust strategy that it's known for, but also offers plenty of good ways to play that are perfect for every type of player. Moreover, changes made to these games can often be cumbersome, both as a familiar or new experience. However, I had my concerns, as some digitized versions can fail to deliver the same experience as the tabletop version. When I heard a digital tabletop version of Catan would come to PC and consoles, I was ecstatic to return to a beloved game that I could finally play without having players altogether in one room. As settlers of a fictional island, players are tasked with building, maintaining and expanding settlements through obtaining resources and trading with other players to build their best settlement and ultimately win. Long before my youth was spent with series like Pokemon and Fallout, one game always stood tall amongst my favorites: Catan.Īs one of the first major European tabletop games to gain worldwide following, Catan maintained a strong status since its 1995 debut that has only grown in recent years with new expansions.

If so, it is most likely that a 'coax splitter' is used that distributes the signal to multiple places. # COAX SPLITTER #ĭepending on your home network you may have more than one coax cable outlet. For me, Starhub installed the POE filter in the riser cabinet free of cost - the filter used is a ' Soontai LPF-1002M3'. The filter simply blocks MoCA data from leaving your network and going back into your cable providers network or your neighbours network, where it likely will interfere with the network or system elements.Īn easy way is also to disconnect the main TV cable in your flat if no other service is used - just ensure to add a 75 Ohm terminator cap to your coax splitter.Įither ways - one solution is mandatory! You want to ensure that your network traffic stays within your own home and cable wiring. This can either be done at the cable entry point into your premises (such as a riser cabinet) or within your flat in a cable distribution box where the coax splitter is. In order for MoCA to work, a 'Point Of Entry Filter' needs to be installed into the main coax TV cable. MoCA networking can co-exist with video data on the same coax cable. Simply said, it can convert a Ethernet signal to run over coaxial cables. The technology behind that term allows the distribution of ethernet data over the existing in-home coaxial TV cabling. MoCA stands for 'Multimedia over Coax Alliance'. You can see the MoCA devices connect my router and computers over my TV cables. ![]() Here is my current setup at home with fibre internet provided by ViewQwest. In a nutshell, MoCA allows you to use your TV cables for your computer network. ![]() I haven't made any good experience with PowerLine devices in the past (Ethernet over electrical wiring) or with Mesh WiFi and the only other thing I stumbled across was MoCA technology - which finally solved all my issues and gives me around 950Mbps internet access over my existing TV cables. Unfortunately, my building does not have Ethernet wiring and I'm not really interested in having any cables lying lose between rooms. The only way to get fast internet to my computer in a room that it furthest away from the fibre termination point in the living room was via wired connection. I recently switched from Starhub 100Mbps Cable Broadband to ViewQwest 1Gbps Fibre Broadband and with that change I also wanted to solve my annoying WiFi connectivity issues whilst using the actual bandwidth I'm paying my internet service provider for. Or how to use your TV cables for your home internet network! 11/30/2023 0 Comments Spinal fluid leak after lumbar surgery![]() The exclusion criteria were as follows: (1) intraspinal tumors (2) spinal infectious diseases (3) a history of undergoing surgery involving spine (4) intraoperative application of special biomaterials (e.g., an artificial dura mater) (5) incomplete clinical data. The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) patients who underwent thoracolumbar spine surgery (2) patients who underwent posterior surgery only (3) intraoperative CSF leak caused by incidental durotomy (4) patients who aged >18 years old (5) follow-up of at least 12-month. Study subjects and methods Study subjectsĭata of a total of 71 patients who were diagnosed with intraoperative incidental durotomy and CSF leak after posterior thoracolumbar surgery at the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University (Shijiazhuang, China) form January 2019 to January 2021 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. This novel method may assist clinicians to reduce the influence of CSF leak. The present study aimed to propose a combined method using fat graft and paraspinal muscle flap, in order to treat CSF leak after posterior thoracolumbar surgery and to evaluate the clinical outcomes. Although different methods have been proposed to repair damaged dura mater and a variety of biological materials were used to block CSF leak, spinal surgeons still encounter numerous multifarious problems caused by CSF leak. CSF leak negatively affects clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction. ![]() Severe complications caused by CSF leak require revision surgery ( 3). Moreover, wound complications arose with the continuous outflow of CSF, such as nonunion, infection, and pseudomeningocele formation. Persistent postoperative CSF leak could lead to various low intracranial pressure symptoms, such as headache, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting ( 1, 4). In addition, intraoperative suturing does not always fully prevent outflow of CSF ( 8, 9). The effective treatment for CSF leak is dural suturing during surgery, however, anterior and a part of lateral dural rupture are difficult to suture. As a common complication, the incidence rate of CSF leak ranges from 1% to 17.4% ( 4– 7). The proposed method showed satisfactory clinical outcomes, and it is worthy of promotion.Ĭerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak after posterior thoracolumbar surgery is mainly caused by incidental durotomy intraoperatively, especially in the occasion of dural adhesion with surrounding tissue or abnormal ossification ( 1– 4). It also decreased the incidence and the degree of postural headache. The proposed method significantly reduced postoperative drainage tube time and postoperative drainage volume. Two patients underwent revision surgery resulting from incision nonunion and delayed meningeal cyst.Ĭonclusion: Fat graft combined with paraspinal muscle flap showed to be an effective method to repair CSF leak during posterior thoracolumbar surgery. There was a statistically significant difference in postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score between the two groups ( P = 0.013). Besides, 15 (44.11%) patients in the CS group complained of postural headache, which was more than that in the FPM group (7 patients, 18.91%). Results: The average drainage tube time in the FPM group was 3.89 ± 1.17 days, which was shorter than that in the CS group (5.12 ± 1.56, P < 0.001). Patients’ demographic and clinical data were compared between the two groups. Among them, 34 and 37 patients were assigned into conventional suturing (CS) group and fat graft and paraspinal muscle flap (FPM) group, respectively. Methods: Data of a total of 71 patients who were diagnosed with intraoperative incidental durotomy and CSF leak after posterior thoracolumbar surgery in our hospital form January 2019 to January 2021 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. The clinical outcomes were also evaluated. Objective: This study aimed to propose a novel surgical method via combination of fat graft and paraspinal muscle flap, in order to treat cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak during posterior thoracolumbar surgery.
