I had some difficulty finding simple examples of how to use the Reolink API and ended up digging through some python implementations to figure out how it works.
The official documentation is available at https://bit.ly/3rWxG6e but it is a bit lacking, and the API is somewhat weird, which makes it difficult. You should still look at it though, as it lets you know what commands are available through the API.
The main weirdness is that even if you are sending one command at a time, the payload has to be an array of objects and the response is always an array of objects. Also, you have to pass the command both as a URL parameter and in the payload.
Included here are a small(ish) bash script (also requires jq) for running API commands against Reolink cameras or NVRs.
How to configure your Mac to use DNS over TLS in five easy steps:
Install Stubby with Homebrew (https://dnsprivacy.org/wiki/display/DP/DNS+Privacy+Daemon+-+Stubby):
brew install stubby
Edit the configuration file:
git-prebase improves on 'git rebase -i' by adding information per commit regarding which files it touched.
Add the executable to your path and git will automatically expose it as
| #!/bin/bash | |
| echo '#!/bin/bash' | |
| echo '' | |
| echo 'failed_items=""' | |
| echo 'function install_package() {' | |
| echo 'echo EXECUTING: brew install $1 $2' | |
| echo 'brew install $1 $2' | |
| echo '[ $? -ne 0 ] && $failed_items="$failed_items $1" # package failed to install.' | |
| echo '}' |
Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.
Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

It appears that Apple somehow broke Python in Mountain Lion, so even with the latest Command Line Tools and Xcode 4.4 virtualenv won't properly work. During virtual environment creation it will try to install easy_install inside /Library hierarchy. So let's give it a quick workaround. Let's install custom python into your $HOME-directory using pythonbrew!
Without the Apple Mac Developer account you won't even see the proper download link for the latest CL Tools and the old one won't work on ML. So here's the link: http://goo.gl/iBTXh. It points towards the Apple website so don't worry.
| githubAccount() { # Syntax: githubAccount <file> | |
| # Check for Github account name | |
| if [[ "$githubAccount" == '' ]]; then | |
| if [[ ! -f "$file" ]]; then | |
| # If .github doesn't exist then ask for the name and save it | |
| echo -n "What is your Github name? " | |
| read githubAccount | |
| touch "$file" | |
| echo "$githubAccount" > "$file" | |
| else |
