Reolink Duo 3 PoE surveillance camera tested against 2 RLC 810A
In my latest smart home project, I replaced my two Reolink RLC-810A cameras with the Reolink Duo 3 PoE surveillance camera with dual lens. I was particularly interested in whether the 180° detection of the Duo 3 PoE could actually improve the monitoring of my driveway and carport. With its 16-megapixel resolution and 2-way communication capability, the Duo 3 PoE promised superior technology and more comprehensive security. But would all the effort and financial investment really be worth it or were the two old camera models better? I would like to explore these questions in this blog post.

LiFePo4 Powerstation – mobile storage for stand-alone PV systems
Powerstation for the garden house: the animal house in the garden with its large aviary requires electricity for the lighting and diesel heating. In order to reduce the electricity costs in the long term, I have built a PV island system which stores the electricity from the photovoltaic modules in special solar batteries. These batteries are now to be replaced by a mobile LiFePo4 battery.

800W balcony power plant easy to install & optimize by yourself
To cover the base load I have installed a small 300W balcony power plant for quite some time. I was able to gain some experience and optimize my own use of solar power. Now I am replacing my 300W balcony power plant with a new 800W balcony power plant. In addition to the new PV modules, I renew the substructure, the microinverter and, of course, the connection to the house grid. During my rebuild, a few questions came up, which I would like to answer with this entry and my video: 👉 What components does a balcony power plant consist of? 👉 How to fix a balcony power station?…
