Wanscam K21 with face detection: great IP Camera with ONVIF compatibility (updated)
Wanscam as almost always been my favourite brand of IP camera except for the unfortunate HW0036 experience.
I have a bunch of them (HW0026, HW0049 and HW0046) running 24/7 and are still fine after 3 years.
The K21 looks identical to the HW0021, but with a full HD sensor, and a face detection feature.
Another noticeable difference is the price, and surprisingly it's actually 15 to 20$ cheaper than its older variant.
Backup from Synology NAS to Asus Router (updated)
This is a short recap of what's needed to set up a regular backup of a Synology shared folder onto an USB drive plugged on an Asus router (running with Asuswrt Merlin).The information needed for this specific operation is generally scattered in different places, so I regrouped everything while it's still fresh from my recent actions.
Printing ABS with FLSUN Q5
After a few months owning the FLSUN Q5 printer, I only recently obtained acceptable results with ABS.
ABS is notoriously more difficult to manage than PLA and my first attempts with left overs filaments from an old 3D pen have all been disappointing, no matter the print bed and nozzle temperatures or even the speed.
I eventually gave up until I ordered, by mistake, a big 1kg reel of ABS instead of PLA!
I had no choice but try to make the best out of it...
Wanscam K21 is finally fully compatible with Synology Surveillance Station
...or maybe I should say that Synology Surveillance Station is finally fully compatible with the Wanscam K21.
In my initial review, I noted that the K21 would be detected by Onvif Device Manager, IP Camera Viewer, Onvifer, Anycam.IO and HappyTime, but not by Synology Surveillance Station.
In the latest version 8.2.8-6334 of Surveillance Station, Synology included a fix (that was developped in December last year!) which allows to capture the full functionalities of the Wanscam K21 as an ONVIF device.
This change is likely to benefit other Onvif cameras that failed to work sith SS8 before.
The Wanscam K21 can be found below 30€ at Bangood
