AFAIK materialize.is is still active, but you need an invite, and I am not "in", as it were, though I would like to be.

If I'm reading this right, 80_PA is a keygen, and does not need to run on the target system. If it did, how would an android version be useful?

Install it elsewhere and follow its instructions.

Otherwise, if you're stuck with this as your only system (do you even phone?), it's VM time.

Ah, you are correct... then yes, sata to mobo, with something to secure that cable very well.

1.) Yes, SATA to eSATA will work.

2.) It is not worth it, for stability. Having a cable from mobo to something outside case is unsafe at minimum.

I would go with the other recommendation: get a cheap pci sata/esata card. Cost is small, safety and reliability goes way up, no more kludge adapter going to inside of case.

The kicker? I went to reddit to read the thread, and reddit added a banner to the post: "come for the cats, stay for the empathy".

I'd really like to understand this in a different light than I currently see it in..

  1. People post stuff made by other sites on facebook, sometimes even the creators of the stuff. Facebook never posts these things on their own. Facebook makes money on ads on it's site, this covers hosting, employees, coding...

  2. People read stuff on Facebook, instead of creator's site, and don't view creator's ads.

  3. Creators want compensation, legislation forces it from Facebook.

  4. Facebook disallows OTHERS from posting the stuff, so that they aren't liable to creators for what those people (who are sometimes the same creators complaining) are doing. (Duh?)

  5. The creators, now unpaid and standing to earn, posts this negatively everywhere and amplifies it on their platforms.

  6. Canada is pissed?

Obviously if clicking through is desired, legislate that they can only show the link and title. Forcing companies to pay for what users post... Very obviously would end up with disallowed posting.

Early wyze cams with openmiko/dafang or wz_mini_hacks will do what you want.

Both have options for local recording. openmiko and dafang are complete firmware replacements, so no internet needed at all. wz_mini is a overlay on top of stock firmware, so it may call home (and not work properly if it can't) if you're using that.

Wyze Cam v2 is stupid cheap rn ($17 shipped from wyze above), and run off usb, so bring your own 5v otherwise, through whatever method you want (large battery, solar charging brick). Add microSD for the local recording. You even get some night vision with it. Openmiko is easy to install and configure, so it scales well.

As far as #4, nothing is going to connect directly from phone to camera to view videos without some cloud service or intermediary. You can access whatever on the cameras via SSH/SCP, but that isn't "simple". And either way, it will "need to be connected to any type of network like WiFi" for this access, so #1 and #4 are mutually incompatible for the most part.

I haven't seen anything that has a bluetooth connection for access.

If you want to get really fancy and can leave them connected, you can use a (free) aggregator like iSpy (NOT Agent DVR, their paid replacement) to get it all recorded and in the same place. Then you can use stuff like motion detection to reduce recorded video to useful footage, and save money on the SD cards.
