Yesterday, my camera finally arrived. It was a PTZ camera so it could move around. When I tried setting up the camera, it told me error setting up camera. I then tried connecting it to the LAN port on the WiFi router, that didn’t work. But then I tried tracking down its IP Address and went to its viewing page. And guess what, browser to new. I was thinking whats wrong with this camera, so then I used IE. It said I needed to install active X controls and then windows 10 said the active X controls are not functional on your computer. So what a terrible camera. My mom then decided to buy me one smart light and another camera. I agreed and now I am happy again. I just wish the next camera I buy, I hope it meets my expectations. The camera that’s arriving on Friday at 9pm. I am very pleased with that and I hope that our house will become smarter. Now, we have the Alexa, Hue smart lights, and 3 cameras. The one that is arriving on Friday will count as one so we will have 4 cameras after Friday! So I hope you enjoy my blog guys! Bye guys!

Our Good House
Our house is very secure and very smart. Walk into the hallway, light’s on. Not in the hallway? Light’s off. We also have cameras watching our house. We have 3 cameras right now and on Tuesday, we will get a PTZ camera or a pan tilt zoom camera. Our TV is smart and it connects to our “hidden” speaker. The speaker makes you feel like you’re part of the action and the hue lights can also sync with the media you’re playing on the TV. If you’re having a party, I can go to my computer and make all the lights flash in a party strobe pattern. When it’s sundown, I might even program the lights so the lights turn on until it turns off again at sunrise. I will also make sure the lights can be controlled by Alexa. So our house is smart, and in the future, our smart lights will light up the back yard too! I might ask my dad to buy me a smart plug and we will buy normal string lights for the back yard so the smart plug will connect to the hue bridge. Then, I can control the normal string lights through the smart hue lighting system! So I hope you enjoyed my blog guys! Bye guys!
Kim and Tien Came Over, Not Bien
I was at school, getting ready to be picked up. I then was on a car and after a few minutes, I was home. We had guests comming over and that was Kim and Tien, not Bien. They started going shopping with Y Vien, meanwhile I was at home playing some games and watching videos. The cameras recorded them leaving the house. It took them like forever to get the car started up, finally, they left. After 4 hours, they came back from the shopping mall. We went to dinner and came back home. The next day, we had lunch at a restaurant. We then met Thucdan, we drove to Fort Lauderdale. We went to the mall and we just looked at boring stuff. We decided to eat at a BBQ restaurant. But the girls were being mean and didn’t want to go. We also planned on going to the movies but that didn’t happen because of them. So we just had pizza. Now today, they were going home. They went onto there flight and they are home by now I guess. So tomorrow my camera is gonna arrive soon so yay! So I hope you enjoyed my blog guys! Bye guys!
IP Camera on the Internet!
I figured a way to configure a IP Camera so it can broadcast to the internet. What I had to do was go to the DDNS settings and configure the 3rd party DDNS to No-ip. So when I went to the website, I saw my camera there. So now I think maybe I can trick it into streaming on you tube. Of course I am just testing so I would never do that. But in this case, I am messing around with the cameras settings. But when I tried it didn’t work. So I guess I will have to find another method because it requires the RTMP feature and my cameras don’t have that. Maybe I can install a software to make it work! But for now I don’t need that feature. I also might need some help on mounting my new camera and I hope it supports RTMP features. So right now I am hiding my outdoor camera in a tree so I might make a video on how to hide a security camera. I also think viewing my camera on a website is cool enough so I like my cameras. I also want a NVR to connect to the TV so we can see the camera right at the TV and I also dont need to always run up to my PC and sync it up. So I hope you enjoy this blog guys! Bye guys!
Almost Missed the Cruise Ship!
We were on a bus and driving to the cruise ship port. The ship was ready to leave. We went through the building, and suddenly, BLACKOUT FOR 3 SECONDS. I and all my cousins and other people screamed but the lights came back on. As we came out of the building and went on the boarding bridge, the lights shut off. I knew that meant the gates closed. When we boarded the ship, not many passengers were there because no one was boarding anymore. I was glad we were able to make it home. Phew!
Nearly Missed the Train!
We were at a train station waiting to get on the train. We didn’t know the platform we needed to get on so we just kept on standing at the train station entrance. Once it became clear that it was platform 10, we went there and people started rushing in. Part of the family was at McDonald’s and when they came in, we all rushed on the train like it was leaving. Seconds after I jumped on, I was panting, and I saw the doors slam shut and the train started moving. I then saw my dad and we all went to a cart where everyone was at. We stationed ourselves at the door and once we arrived, we all rushing out. Another scary moment was when we were crossing the carts. My dad and I didn’t know there was a button to open the doors so we opened it manually. I tried opening the doors on my own but it was so heavy that when I let it go it slam shut. My dad then tried to open it and he was successful. When we crossed another cart, I saw a button and pressed it, the doors slammed open and we ran through it. So that train was a bit scary. That reminds me of the old days.
Thuclam and the Muddy Shoes (SHORT!!!!!!!!!!)
At a castle, we were exploring around it. It was more like a foundation and it was on a huge hill. When we were going through a small trail, Thuclam decided to jump right into the soil but it was actually muddy and she fell down. Dirt flew everywhere and then her mom told her why she shouldn’t do that. He shoes were all dirty and Thuclam started freaking out and yelled so much that I could hear her 32 yards away. When we decided to go back to the cruise ship, Thuclam had to go on bare feet. We met a dirt man later and I thought Thuclam could use him to “undirt” herself. What a funny event!

The Airport Disaster
It was 4 o clock AM, I was tired. When I woke up, it was like that after 2 seconds, I was energetic like it was the afternoon. So we rushed out of the hotel and went to MILANO LINATE AIRPORT. As we parked our car at the parking rental lot, my dad found out that his wallet was still at the hotel. As those words were told and panic and frustration happened, my mind began going crazy. I thought as we were gonna miss our flight, my dad will loose his drivers license, and all his money. I then went to hide behind a car because I might be part of the chaos. Ba Noi and Nam boarded the flight first, and we drove 1/3 of the road to the hotel. My dad then got an idea to call a taxi to get the wallet and bring it to the airport and he was faster than us! Mabye he broke the speed limit or something. Anyway, we ended up paying 200 euros for that and when we checked in, they said the flight left. My mind then went crazy and suddenly, a f— word came out of someones mouth 2 times. My mind went so crazy like my brain was gonna explode. We then decided to take another british airways flight but we didn’t because British Airways couldn’t help us. We then found out that the young GIRL at the check in center didn’t really care. When we attempted to leave behind our luggage at the airport to board the flight, the same GIRL started freaking out like the world was going to end. We then ended up going to Minano Malpensa MXP Airport. Our money kept on getting wasted and it was like throwing grass into the sewer. Once we got on the LOT airlines flight, my mind cleared and went to a deep sleep to refresh my brain. Worst Airport Vacation Ever.
P.S. British airways is not my favorite airline anymore. I also found out juice wasn’t free on LOT Airlines! I needed that to clear my brain too!
Cruise Ship Vacation
Not to long ago, I was on a cruise. My whole family from around the world came to Genoa to board the ship. We took a taxi to the port then went through security. We then went on a jet way and got on. We claimed our cruise cards and went to our rooms. Our room was nice and it had 2 bunk beds and one queen sized bed. Once we settled in, we went to the buffet and ate. Nam brought his Nintendo witch so it attracted everybody so no one wanted to explore the ship with me. We then also went to the safari pool and outside deck and it was very nice. Once the ship departed, we started doing games and went to our cabins. After that, everybody played games until the rest of the day. The next day, the ship stopped at Rome. My dad sent Angel, Me, and Thucquyen to kids club. We learned stuff and we were allowed to play some games. After that when the ship departed again, I got sea sick. I got it 2 times even with my anti sea band sickness on and my ear sickness patch on. I explored the ship a bit on my own and had some fun. Nam, Thuclam, and Thucquyen played games the rest on the cruise. What an opportunity wasted. But at least I enjoyed myself. 🙂
Bien Came Over to Play
Yesterday, Bien came over to play. When he first came over we went to whole foods. We went in there and picked out our foods. I got a lasagna and a meatball with rice. Bien just ate a little so I thought he was full. When we came back home, the internet was broken so we played with the the IP Cameras. I put a camera looking down at the driveway. We also played jail and Khang was in the jail. I also have a camera looking in the hallway so Khang couldn’t escape. The next day, we waked up and still played with the cameras. The reason why we kept on playing that was because the internet was broken. So we went outside and played burger and the cameras were on RECORD mode. Y Vien pressed the record button when we pretended to steal it so a REC text started flashing. After that Y Vien came out and chased us. We also went for a walk and then when I looked at the router, I found out it was unplugged so I corrected the problem and the internet worked. Sadly, Bien had to go home so our fun ended there.
