I'm trying to build a rPi-based dashcam, and have some questions. I've found this: http://pidashcam.blogspot.com/ I'm only interested in a single camera, but I don't want to use the rPi camera, but an HD IP camera using a larger sensor and interchangeable lenses. Is there enough computing power to: 1. Take in the IP camera's video stream 2. Overlay dynamic text (GPS location, speed, direction) 3. Store it to hard drive. I may bump up to a beefier computing platform so I have an SATA connection for an SSD, but a rPi would be an inexpensive starting platform. Anyone have any experience with motion and/or ffmpeg libraries, or have any good info about using the GPU to assist in the H264 encoding?

I've been annoyed at my mom's new house: garage door opener, oven, fridge, washing machine and dryer all have "WiFi access". LOL nope. I'm not letting you in the house, letting you burn it down or alternately flood it, or spoil the food.

Thermopyle posted:Sweating pipes is a useful skill to have, but there is a hammer header equivalent for pipes: sharkbite fittings...and they're way more effective for pipes than hammer headers are for raspberry pis! They're a lifesaver if you can't turn off the water, too. SharkBite valve, then you have a chance to sweat the rest of the pipework correctly. I know a few commercial guys who have used them in under floor emergencies, and the fittings are immediately buried in concrete.

Alpha Mayo posted:Would this make a good Gigabit router if I bought a USB3->Ethernet adapter? And not a wifi access point, just a plain router (and maybe VPN server/client if the CPU is good enough) An ER-X is like $60, and awesome. It's got wire speed routing, solid firmware updates, and incredible community support. Why bother with anything on a Pi?

Cojawfee posted:Or worse, you find a thread from 10 years ago where someone has the exact problem you have and then they have a second post that says "Never mind, I figured it out" without saying what they did to fix it. They drives me up the wall. Then you message them and they can't remember what it was...

I've moved mine to high endurance cards, but whatever you bought is fine.

I only use my PS1 for audio. If you're streaming, then the quality is usually set by the source. Pandora/Google Music/Spotify are all in the ~350kbps range, iirc.

As someone who worked with literal autonomous robots, let me assure you. There's probably a full blown windows XP embedded install somewhere running one sensor in 16-color mode. Or windows 2000 running a frame grabber. Or something equally outdated doing a simple task.
