You can get them from Harbor Freight, in the US.

OT, oddness in ftp download - Again had a little fight with your ftp server, google chrome (on win7) just froze up.

But Linux' wget was fine. Then I noticed lots of this from my firewall log (it's a background terminal on the second monitor):

Which indicates maybe your system still trying to finish with google chrome session, or some oddness? You can respond offlist to my email above if this rings a bell with you? I deleted your IP decode info for brevity, but it's yours. Or ignore me if you think it's my fault ;) I haven't worked on my firewall rules for years, maybe some later kernel changes are affecting it, dunno.

That might be an LDR working on change of light, with length down a plastic tube for sort of focus? Easy to test for. PIR sensors usually have multi-opamp and take minutes to stabilise their operaing point.

(PoV from someone not looked inside PIR for decades).

Remember those speaking dolls/robots years ago would go off when you walked by? They worked on change of light level, rather than PIR.

Yes, it amazes me how many screws these people put in their products, suppose it allows a looser moudling tolerance?

Chinese? They doing some amzing tricks with money, different to Japan when they were the source of the cheap stuff.

I once tried to get Chrome but it did not really seems to like to install on my system. Could not be bothered to try a lot, I have a Firefox 3 (old) and Opera (recent). Together those do most things.

Seems your firewall drops my IP for port 21. I dunno this syntax, but for Linux iptables you can type iptables -L to see what is rejected, man iptables.

Kernel changed from 'ipchains' to 'iptables' some versions ago. Dunno how old your distro is. And I dunno where your iptables (or ipchains) keeps its database. I use something like iptables-save > /root/my_firewall and too reload the firewall from my database: iptables-restore < /root/my_firewall

It is strange, because the iptables works for ALL applications on the system, so if it works OK for wget then it must work OK for Chrome, but it is possible Chrome has its own filter. Since you seem to be the only one (of the millions) with this problem, why not try an other browser and see if that works, if so blame Chrome.

Easy to test, lemme see: Put it in the dark. Wave my hand in front of it. Nothing! Shine a flashlight on it. Moves! I does say 'PIR" sensor, but is is probably a Chinese translation :-) So great, thank you for clearing at least that mystery. Later when I have open it again I will measure that LDR.

Yes, although it fits rather well. I did manage to put the little CMOS cameras module in the lens, it keeps the same looks. Nice PCB in it too, transistors marked PNP etc, even c,b,e marked, good thing too as many wires broke off immediately when I worked on it. And only 2 colors, red and black, so that helped putting it back together again.

Money is funny stuff, the US just keeps printing more of it, for the Chinese if I got it right, who then change it for reminbis (or whatever it is called), and then dish it out to their people to buy bread so they can build skyscrapers and factories that make products that the US buys in large quantities, But I did not study economics, but it reminds me of those 2 Jewish guys on the moon who keep selling each other the same moon rocks and get incredibly rich in the process. That, in short, explains inflation. But now the US FED is afraid of deflation... Interest rates at zero, maybe you will GET money if you accept a loan? mm something not right here. My view is, that just give everybody the authority to print $$ on their inkjets, that solves the cash problem, stimulates the economy, and everybody is rich. Helps to sell inkjets and ink, paper too. OK, enough I guess.

system.

Sorry about syntax, it's a processed printout from what iptables scribbles into /var/log/messages: # tail -F /var/log/messages | sf4sf -f /etc/sf4sf.conf

Two known users, I'm one of them.

Yeah, BTDT :)

My iptables loads from a script when ppp0 comes up, runs in a local mode before then. I never used ipchains, sadly I used dialup via windows box until I switched to ADSL -- I'm a disgrace to pure Linux users ;)

Plus Win7 trying to be smart. Anyway, since I noticed the activity, thought I'd run it past you.

Second nature is to take a difficult transfer to the linux terminal, since then I'm using the box facing the Internet. Bypasses all the windows crap I don't trust so much these days. Nice eye-candy, shame about the OS...

I've seen then advertised here, didn't realise they moved on movement detection, I have a friend may be interested.

Open a VCR that retailed for $50-100 ten years ago. Now _that_ will blow your socks off when it comes to cost efficiency.
