$2 for 5 PCBs Any Color https://jlcpcb.com I’ve been an Eagle CAD user ever since I designed my first PCB but it was time to let it go and move to something better. Kicad is open source and free of limitations which in my opinion is the only way forward.
High quality PCB Services https://pcbway.com In this video I’m showing you how I designed the mysterious Raspberry CryptoPi which was supposedly able to mine crypto using fancy new tech. This was just a 1st of April joke that I did but I’ll share a few secrets in this video. (This is a repost of the original Voltlog 157 published April 1st 2018.)

High quality PCB Services https://pcbway.com Join me in this video where we take a closer look at the Reolink RLC-81MA Dual Lens 4K Security Camera. With its dual lens arrangement you are able to capture both a close-up zoomed image as well as a normal widescreen image at the same time from just a single camera. The onboarding process is almost entirely automatic, the app runs very smoothly on both windows and iOS but for more details and sample footage, checkout the video.

#Review #Reolink #RLC-81MA
Welcome to a new Voltlog and today we’re taking a closer look at the Reolink RLC-81MA which is a dual Lens, dual view, 4K security camera. And at first, when Reolink reached out to me to send this product for a review I thought, this is not going to be interesting for my viewers, I don’t necessarily need an extra security camera so I was about to turn down the offer when I noticed that this camera actually has a dual lens system which allows you to view both a close-up and a wide-view of the scene and surely this is a very interesting feature that if you ever installed a security camera you wished you had.
So this is a small bullet IP camera, it has PoE capability, it can record on a microsd card or an NVR or FTP server of your choice, it is IP66 waterproof rated, you get a nice ReoLink app for viewing the camera remotely, it’s got color night vision and various detection features among other things that we will review in this video. Full disclosure as always this unit was sent in for free for the purpose of this review and should you decide to order one, there will be some links in the description below and they are currently running a promotion so you can get this camera with a discount from its normal price.
As you can see camera is very compact, comes with the adjustable mounting stand. On the front we notice the two lenses, two IR leds, one white light LED, this looks like the speaker for the 2way audio and on the back side we have a screw panel which hides the SD card. Connectors include caps which is nice, so we have the RJ45 Ethernet PoE connector, we have the DC 12V input if you prefer to use that and you also have a reset switch. I don’t have a Reolink NVR or any NVR for that matter so I will be inserting an SD card to record some test footage during the review process and please keep in mind that this camera only supports an sd card up to 256GB which Reolink claims can record continuously for up to 58 hours with default settings but before we continue
Setting up the camera with the Reolink app was a very smooth and quick process, I mean if you already have the Reolink app installed and you already have an account with them, you just have to power the camera, and it will automatically be detected on the network in a matter of seconds. Then it will ask you to create a password for accessing the camera, a name for the camera and that’s pretty much all that’s needed. Then you can swipe left or right and you can view the two live video feeds. You can even view them both at the same time with the so-called immersive view option.
This is my first time interaction with the Reolink app but it feels pretty intuitive, you have the different camera snapshots on the main screen, you can enter a particular view, you get a few controls at the top, for example you can manually sound a siren or you can manually turn on the color night vision mode which enables the white LED or you can turn on immersive view, where it shows both streams at the same time. My personal thoughts about color night vision on security cameras is that it’s super nice, but at the same time, having that white light, clearly gives the camera position away to people passing by, clearly attracts attention so I personally keep that feature turned off on my other security cameras which support it.
In terms of viewing and downloading footage there are a couple of ways of doing it but to get the highest quality, you need to select the option for quality that says “clear”. As for download of footage it is best to switch to normal view, select high quality where it says “clear” then find your footage, next click download where you can once again select the start and stop of your clip which you can then download.

The whole point of this is to have a dc input of 24V with an adjustable voltage output capable of up to 2A and a second rail which is fixed 5V 2A.

High quality PCB Services https://pcbway.com The 10 channel thermocouple data logger is a project that I have wanted to design ever since I got the T-962 reflow oven to get a better sense of the temperature gradients happening inside the oven. The system is based on an ESP32 and it’s using 10 thermocouple interface chips (Maxim MAX31855) to read the temperature data and log to a micro sd card. Join me in this video to learn about the bodges that I had to make on this board.

High quality PCB Services https://pcbway.com Join me in this video where we take a closer look at the Khadas VIM4 which can be considered a Raspberry Pi 4 killer because of its superior specs.Based on the Amlogic A311D2 Octacore processor, boosting 8 GB of ram, 32GB of eMMC storage as well as excellent connectivity through 10 gigabit wired ethernet and Wifi 6 you can easily understand why I call this a Raspberry Pi Killer. I’m also going to show you how to setup Frigate open source NVR on this SBC and have it record videos with person detection on an external flash drive.

#VoltLink #KhadasVIM4 #frigate
For those of you who haven’t heard about Frigate, it’s an open-source NVR with real-time AI object detection built-in, all recording and processing happens locally on your own hardware so a good thumbs up for being open-source, we love open-source projects on the voltlog channel but another thumbs up is for hosting everything local, so you have security & privacy under your own control.
You can also run Frigate on your homeassistant server if you wish to do so, but some people might opt to run it independently on another computer for increased processing power and more storage options.
For this tutorial I’m gonna be installing it on the Khadas VIM4 single board computer and this thing is a beast. I'm calling this the Pi Killer for reasons which I will outline in a few moments. This was released this summer, it’s the latest model in Khadas lineup and comes with some stellar specs: This has an 8 core Amlogic A311D2 processor, four of the cores are ARM Cortex-A73, running at 2.2GHz, the other four are Cortex-A53 running at 2GHz and there is an extra 32 bit STM32 microprocessor on here, There is a powerful Mali G52MP8 GPU which supports up to 8K decoding, we get 8GB LPDDR4X RAM on this board, 32GB of eMMC storage, 32MB of SPI flash memory which runs it’s own custom bootloader called OWOW, Bluetooth & Wifi 6 connectivity plus 10 gigabit ethernet, there is an M.2 slot for SSD on the back and the list goes on and on, they practically jammed everything that’s nice on this board and out of the box it can run Ubuntu & Android.
Now you’re probably asking yourself how does this stackup against the Raspberry Pi4 so here is a simple comparison just based on specs, if we look at processor power, ram memory, storage options, connectivity the VIM4 clearly has more options and more horsepower than a Pi4, the only place where the PI4 has more options is with USB connectivity. But having all of this extra horse power does come at a cost and the VIM4 can get pricey especially if you order it with an active cooling kit which is not included by default but you will need if you plan to benefit from that processing power. For the latest price information please check out the links I’ve placed in the description of the video. We could also talk about availability with the VIM4 being available for order right now, while the Pi4 being harder to find. Due to the VIM4 processor being manufactured on a 12nm process we can also expect better power efficiency, providing more performance per watt over the Pi4.
