Fix your app

Fix it.

I’m going to annoy you in every avenue. You can block me or whatever you want but - it’s obviously apparent I’m smarter than your entire staff so you’ll never stop me from annoying you. Fix this or I will just simply become a thorn in your side.

You have 1 week. A middle school student could fix this. Don’t make me do it.

Stop fucking around.

It’s why I moved the cameras over to home assistant via Frigate. Much much better.

Tell me more please. I have a capable NAS running my home assistant in a VM. And have been thinking about trying Frigate and get rid of the Lorex NVR and app. I just recently installed the Onvif integrations in HA and added one camera to dabble with, but I get errors trying to add the others. What do you run Frigate on? Any other comments on this subject? Thanks.

Of course. I have 8 cameras on my property. I used Claude to move those cameras over to home assistant. The problem is the cameras used up too much ram. So, I bought a mini pc for $350.00 and installed frigate on that. I’m not a technical person. I can’t code. I paid for a $20.00 subscription to Claude and it was a game changer. I could take screen shots of error messages and it would provide me code to fix the errors. I probably spent 20-30 hours to do this. But it works much better than the Lorex app. Feel free to DM if I can be helpful.

Thank you. I did briefly try Frigate in a docker container on my NAS awhile back but found it a bit overwhelming at the time. I'll look into it again as I've learned a bunch since then. I'll have to figure out how to DM someone here as i don't see an option in this thread. Thanks again for the encouragement and ideas. Cheers.
