    R25,000 to take a fake Uber from a major airport in South Africa

    The security at Cape Town Intl. is very lax with these guys. At OR Tambo, police and security are incredibly strict with them, while at Cape Town, from domestic arrivals, you start getting harassed by them, all the way through to the pick up point. I've even seen them inside baggage collection...

    Community CCTV Project

    POE switch would be inside, with 2 wires running to the cameras. POE switch connected to Cudy TR1200 which would have Wireguard setup, which in turn is connected to that sites router (a resident who has fibre) Looking at a continuous upload of roughly 1.4Mbps per site, or 450GB a month on my...

    Community CCTV Project

    Reminds me of when we ran the Ridgeworth CCTV project. We also managed to raise near R1million and it worked. LPR tech and monitoring has become drastically cheaper. The previous NHW Exco managed to get funds for 2 points, totalling R33000 with perpetual monitoring from SJC. There is just 1...

    Community CCTV Project

    1. Community network using line of sights dishes / antennas 2. NVR per point 3. Using cameras that can take high endurance SD cards such as the Vigi C340. Point 3 is fairly promising as Vigi's system can get setup as sites, granting multiple access for viewing, while recording is done on site...

    Community CCTV Project

    We considered this, and this is one of the 3 ideal ways to set up a community CCTV network. In fact, the cost for this is similar to having a NVR at each point. We have a high point in the centre of the area which makes this even more viable, with all points having direct line of site to it...

    Very valid points. I will need to do some digging and reading

    Community CCTV Project

    Fibre failing would be the systems achilles heel, as there would be no way to have a fallback to LTE due to the amount of data. Each camera point would consists of 2 cameras and would be on a residents fibre, assuming they'd be happy to. Considering these would be relatively low, I cant see that...

    Community CCTV Project

    Traffic for a local network would be relatively low as that would be recording with in a local network and not touching the internet, unless the owner is streaming the substream 24/7 to off site, which would explain the 1TB of traffic. We looked at setting up line of sight bridges but that is...

    Community CCTV Project

    Hey all Wanting to get some input on this idea. Our area has had a massive increase in crime in the last 2 years. Hijackings, muggings, break-ins, people being held at gun point in their home, a couple of kidnappings, and even an alleged s****l assault in a public park. Sounds like the wild...

    SA Politics Part 14 - The New Dawn turns to Dusk

    Having not read the last 80 pages of this, as well as Part 13, I'm just going in here with a slightly off topic comment. Some will note that even on here, I have given the DA immense praise. I travel often for work and see the stark differences between Cape Town (where I live) and other parts...

    A tax revolt is underway in South Africa

    So I've been paying my TV License the last couple of years because I wasnt liss for the crap. But then, my license became due this month, and this was the email SABC sent me. Very first notice: So screw it, not paying them anymore. If they want to start with a threat, they will not get my money.

    On an Emirates flight back from China in January 2019, EK381. I arrived at the luggage check-in at Shekou ferry terminal, and they wouldnt take my luggage for some reason. Managed to get to Hong Kong International and the check in desk told me there was a problem with my ticket. This was the...
