Just get some intel NICs and be done with it.

Soooo, did anything happen in the past month or so?

ArmorGnome,

did you see the prices for the other modules? They can be had for less than 200USD

Look at the VDR wiki page you linked. In case you have a problem, translate it using google translate, and you can answer the question yourself.

I was surprised at the price of these things. I expected a higher price tag.

I vaguely remember, that motion itself did store avi's someplace... but it is wayyy too long ago.

I am sure you'Ve already googled for driveway sensor, haven't you? The following is what I found to be helpful:

Helpful? I dunno...

Only vehicles, or any kind of traffic, i.e. pedestrian or cyclists, as well?

* posde didn't know there should be video files.

It always happens when a device changed state. You might want to watch DCERouter and see if you can find the culprit causing this.

Any different from the atmo light which has been in use on the Philips TVs, as well as an addon to the VDR PVR?!

1. yes
2. they want to quick reload when the MD starts. This is expected behavior (but not very nice).

Each MD has its own OS.

Just FYI: GSD codes etc are in the IR repo, and not the DCE repo

The original saying still stays: S/he who codes, makes the rules.
