Discogs is brilliant, yeah I might be a bit late to the party on this.

The vinyl collection is growing nicely.

Just read the reviews, they will need a subscription, so a bit like the ring ones I’ve got. Look good though, and mainly excellent reviews.

White pool cue chalk.

After having to paint the family room ceiling for the 2nd time in 12 months due to the yoofs thinking pool cues are light sabres, glad to have found white chalk. Coupled with scrubbale paint on the ceiling now, we should be good. :thumbup:

Don't need subscription, you can put a stick in the module if you want to keep recording. I ain't bothered about recording everything, you get an instant notification when it's triggered and very handy to see who's knocking on the front door on these dark nights, you can talk aswel. 👍

Ok, thought you couldn’t record, which is something I need, I will did deeper in that case. We’ve got 2 ring cameras, among others, which although the clarity is good they cost money every year, these could be a replacement for them. We have a family of foxes we feed every day, plus a couple of hedgehogs which make for great watching, and I was able to supply video footage of the neighbours car being nicked. It all helps to keep the F happy!!

Be aware it doesn't take the Makita 18v LiON batteries. It runs on their 12v ones.
