Much ado about nothing. We're adults and tech literate people and we can juggle more than one conflicting identifier in our heads considering we deal with stuff like C++ routinely. If the project is technically good and they market it well, people will get used to the name and learn to distinguish between this and the auth protocol.

We are adults and we can deal with being sneezed on, therefore lets get sneezed on as much as possible for no reason at all!

Does anyone have some outdoor camera recommendations? The ones I had were very low resolution, I could hardly recognize myself in video.

I'm happy with Amcrest cameras, both for indoor and outdoor use. They have some very affordable 4k options with PoE if that matters to you.
