Sorry Klaus I've got to get it ready for a trip to Port Macquarie

Get back to Bed it's too Cold and too Early

[Fed]

4.30AM you know the rest.

Thinking of putting a brown paper bag with eye & mouth cutouts over my head, should cause quite a stir in the supermarket.

[Fed]

Anyone got a metal lathe?

[SUMOFISHIN]

Anyone got a metal lathe?

I need to make up a couple of pushers & receivers to R&R some suspension bushes Frank.
I'd buy a kit but the trouble is they don't make them for Falcon sizes.

Max Dia 65mm
Max Lth 60mm

Small pusher
Hollow Bar
Carbon Steel
40/30 mm bush is 40.2mm OD.
60 mm long

Small receiver
Hollow Bar
Carbon Steel
55/40 mm *must relieve ID to ~42 mm TBA subject to flange?
60 mm long

Large pusher
Hollow Bar
Carbon Steel
55/40 mm *must reduce OD to 46 mm. bush is 47mm OD.
60 mm long

Large receiver
Hollow Bar
Carbon Steel
65/50 mm
60 mm long

4 x 5 mm Lazer cut discs to suit. Ask about custom cutting.

I think the only problem would be the small receiver ID removal of a couple of mm.

Fed. I could make them no problem, just need to see a sample or at least get a drawing of what it is you want made, sounds simple but things like this need to be made right.
send me your address and when you will be home and I will come and collect sample/drawing OR at least get the part or whatever.
Busy in morning Monday 8/5 but any other time

[Fed]

I haven't got any parts yet Frank, I'm still searching pipe fittings & couplings that I could use without any machining at all.
Covid put a damper on things but I thought I might get the ball slowly rolling again without breaching my containment bubble.

Found a place over at Revesby Edcon Steel
https://www.edconsteel.com.au/
They will cut to length for I think a few bucks & they have lazer cut disks in 5mm so I'd need 4 of them. Just when I had it pretty figured out they shut down their website & revamped it so now I have to re-register and get talking to them.
I ordered a 12mm high tensile bolt & nuts and it turned up galvanised and I suspect that will gall if I try and pull a few tons on it.
Have to go to threaded rod I think and cut it to length.
It's hard here as I have nothing to work with, not even a vice and I'm resisting going out anywhere due to covid because Denise has lung problems & a dose of Covid could kill her or ME fir that matter.

So my little "at arms length" project rolls slowly on, hang in there.

Fed. I buy most of my steel from Edcon, been dealing with them for years. mate I could make what you want , just need to know what I am making.

It's a bush removal tool Frank to R&R two different sized bushes.
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Toolrock-Bearin...k8AAOSwzbdbRrSO
But all the sets I can find are too big to do the smallest bushes so I won't buy one unless I can find a set to do the whole job.

In the list on my earlier post there are 2 pushers & 2 receivers to do my 2 different size bushes.

Small bush is 40.2 mm Dia.
Large bush is 47 mm Dia.

[oz man]

I picked up a UL-Tech wifi camera George, just a cheap one to try out before committing to a more extensive system.
The problem is that the supplied app (360Eyes Pro) wont work on (not suitable) Denise's tablet so I'm trying to get the camera to connect to an app that will run on her tablet. Maybe Onvifer or Always Safe, there are plenty out there but no matter which one I choose they don't want to connect to the camera.
I can't even find any software for XP that will connect, they all seem to fail when I'm asked for the IP.
Router 192.168.20.1
Camera 192.168.20.9
Which one?
Then there's the 4 numbers that follow the IP
Like 192.168.20.9:1234 what's that all about.
Then there's port forwarding, I dunno if I need to do that or not or how to.

I think it's time to get a more main stream camera like Swann or something that has more support.
Other that the compatibility problem and it's stuck in black & white the UL Tech seems to work fine on devices that the 360Eyes app support.

Buy more toilet paper the bum rush is on again!

Depending on the model if it a ul tech 1080 it should have come with it own software with has a auto setup wizard , you shouldn't need to do port forwarding unless it really required by the camera as that is just opening a port for hackers.
here a good video if you think you need one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-K6jMYBfuIY
Port forwarding is just opening a specified port via the router for selected operations, but I don't recommend unless its necessary.

[Fed]

My take from that video Oz is that I don't need port forwarding.
Maybe I should contact some of the generic app makers and request compatibility for Denise's tablet.
I did try side loading a couple of android apps to her tablet but on running they would not parse (whatever that means).
I have sort of achieved my goal, spend $50 on a camera to find out what camera I should buy, tricks & traps.

[Fed]

I'll attack ebay today & see if anything new has come up Frank.

[oz man]

parse in computer real means syntax's are not matching the operating system

[oz man]

the best ones that I know for android are

Tiny Cam it the best I reckons
IP com Viewer Pro not bad
onvi ip camera monitor a simple program but doesn't have the options of the other two.


you can get all three from Amazon or the Play store.

what tablet is it android or my hate one Apple.

[Fed]

I have onvif ip camera monitor on my android phone and I can't figure out how to make it connect to the camera.

[Fed]

onvif setup comes back as "unable to resolve IP address"
