> What screen are you using?

Not OP but I'm using this fantastic 7 inch screen that accepts regular USB power for $60

Allows me to use a single power bank (with 2 USB ports) to power both the Pi and screen for hours.

I noticed today's Kasa app update release notes said it added support for "KC120", so I did a little searching amd found this new Nestish cam that was added to Amazon 5 days ago. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074WJPPCZ/

The monitor TOGUARD 7 Inch Small Portable Security Monitor HD 1024x600 TFT LCD Display Screen with AV VGA HDMI Input, Touch Keys,Built-in Speakers, Remote Control for Raspberry Pi PC Security Camera https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06W5WB26H/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Q9yQCbQQ0CP45

So that was just a little project/hobby I was working on.

-I used a small 7 inch screen which I already owned. Only a resolution of 1024 x 600. But I wasn't going to buy a mini monitor with 720p native res just for this. It's this one.

-A multi-angle stand which I had previously bought for my Nintendo Switch. Link

-A cheapie 10000mAh powerbank with dual output charge for 5V, 2A (for the screen) and 5V, 1A (for the PS Classic).

-Velcro adhesive to easily attach and remove the screen, the PS Classic and the powerbank from the stand. The powerbank is attached at the back.

-Short (25cm) HDMI cable.

-Short (15cm) USB male to male cable for powering the monitor.

-Short (20cm) micro USB to USB power cable for the PS Classic. Previously this cable was used for my Chromecast device. But it works fine here.

An OTG adapter to plug into the power port of the PSC. And a 128GB USB drive plugged into the OTG adapter.


The PSC is running the latest AutoBleem build with a custom theme. I've upgraded the custom kernel to take advantage of OTG support. FYI, what "OTG" means here is that you can plug your OTG adapter into the rear of the console and connect your usb drive directly to the OTG adapter, thus freeing up the front controller ports and bypassing the power issues of the console.

I've looked into the same deal for my SNES Classic and a small portable LCD monitor was the most cost effective option. They make these little 7" LCD monitors w/ HDMI and built-in speakers for security camera type usage that remind me of the portable LCD for the PSone. They usually sell for around $50-60.

Pi 3 is newest, yes.

• The official Raspberry Pi display, a 7" touchscreen, is the best supported and guaranteed-to-be-high-quality option for $70 (scalpers on Amazon/eBay will charge more). It uses one of the internal DSI ports, leaving your HDMI free.
  
  
• Displays between 7-10" are available from China at costs ranging from $30-$100, but they use the Pi's HDMI output along with a separately powered "driver board" (example], 10", 1024x600, $70. The driver boards are fine, the display may not be top-quality (e.g. TN instead of IPS LCD), and it's usually fragile because it's bare -- you should put it in a case of some sort. Here's a "monitor" version from Amazon for $99.
  
  
• Displays/monitors with HDMI input in the 10-14" range are VERY expensive, probably because they're used in specialty applications like security consoles, etc. If you want this, your best bet is a laptop replacement screen with the appropriate driver board.

I assume something like this would work. Also check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtU2ca24fUk

and this: https://www.reddit.com/r/miniSNES/comments/76yvff/portable_display/

EDIT: although, a vita w/ retroarch would probably be best.

I just picked up this and love it. No touch screen but well within your price point.

https://www.amazon.com/TOGUARD-Portable-Security-1024x600-Raspberry/dp/B06W5WB26H I painted it white

It's great right? Really handy. It's this one: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XQJVXHL/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks for helping.

Is this what you're recommending?
Juniper SRX100B

Out of curiosity, would this also be able to do the job?
ZyXEL ZyWALL USG50

Since my Unraid Box is in my Homeoffice I have a KVM connected to it.

In your case, you maybe also need a vga => hdmi converter.

I also used a 10" LCD Monitor for a while

I used Mod Podge and some cheap comics instead of vinyl. Funny u should talk about the swivel bc I have https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072N2YGXN/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and works good but wanted a swivel and been looking at phone/tablet mounts since a VESA mount probably wouldnt fit (also probably cheaper too).

We got this monitor for the baby even though she'll be sleeping in the same room as us as well. I set it up a while ago and it works really well with the cell phone app. I can even push a button on the app and talk through it to the baby if we aren't in the same room. I think it'll be useful if I want to shower/cook something while she's sleeping in a different room.

get an analog security camera, and a security monitor with a BNC port.

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=analog+2mp+security+camera&ref=nb_sb_noss

https://www.amazon.com/Eyoyo-1920x1080-Computer-Security-Surveillance/dp/B075CGZJLJ/

all you need is to connect the camera to the monitor, and provide power for both.

Some peripherals I didn't include above.

Monitor is a Dell U2711 I've been using for a couple years. Might supplement with this 13" field monitor, as it's the closest thing to my laptop screen that I currently use as my 2nd monitor.

My mouse is the Anker ergonomic mouse, which you can pry from my cold dead carpel tunnel-free hand. I also use a Contour ShuttlePro. I may get a Logitech T650 if I find I miss my laptop's trackpad.

Haven't settled on a keyboard yet. Looking at the Logitech Craft.

Regarding the monitor, you could get one of those tiny, portable ones like this:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Computer-Monitors/Loncevon-Portable-Computer-Raspberry-Headphone/B06XQJVXHL/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1542905456&sr=8-12&keywords=tiny+monitor

That would let you configure things and run the software, at least, though it's not a very good solution for actual coding.

When I got my VR rig, I took a serious look at the ASUS gaming laptops. The specs look nice, and I'd put more trust in ASUS than DELL (I've been screwed over by DELL all too many times). In the end I put together a mini-ITX in a very small, but not tiny case:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cooler-Master-Computer-Mini-ITX-RC-130-KKN1/dp/B00DJ6A88G/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1542905779&sr=8-2&keywords=cooler+master+elite

It's big enough for a full-size graphics card and liquid cooling on the CPU. Cooling (and price) is the main reason I went for the mini-ITX form factor. It's still reasonably portable, but you can add fans and coolers into it if your CPU runs hot.

Crestron actually used some Eyoyo monitors at one of the trainings I attended. Small (10in and 12 in models), 1920x1080, HDMI connection, and fairly cheap. I do not have any experience with these outside of that class but I am planning on getting one for a small test monitor / 2nd laptop screen.

All you need is a recorder:

A hard drive for the recorder: https://www.amazon.com/Purple-1TB-Surveillance-Hard-Drive/dp/B072L175ZW/

And a monitor if you do not have a spare lying around:

and a mouse and keyboard, if you do not have spares:

Sure thing, glad to help.

Did a little more searching. So far, this is the screen I would use if I was trying to do what you were doing.

I was actually looking for 'portable battery-powered mini tv' and that came up. All the other things I found had a battery included, which was great, but then they didn't have an hdmi connection, so that didn't work. If you can find a mini tv type of thing with a built in battery, and hdmi connection, that would really be your best bet.

I'm partial to Zyxel and I own a few models.
This one is more than sufficient for your needs, and it comes with loads of enterprise level features which usually fetch hundred$ more:

Zyxel ZyWall

Excellent routers. Excellent support.

If you want to go old school just get a CCTV camera, something like this https://www.amazon.com/Analog-Camera-Security-2-8mm-12mm-Monitoring/dp/B07F2J2X6Y/ref=sr_1_8?keywords=cctv+camera&qid=1564088074&s=gateway&sr=8-8 (not an endorsement of this product just an example) and a monitor something like this https://www.amazon.com/Security-Audio-Video-Computer-Surveillance/dp/B00COT8K70/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=cctv+monitor&qid=1564088125&s=gateway&sr=8-3

Finally a BNC cable like this: https://www.amazon.com/Alrolink-Camera-Security-Surveillance-System/dp/B07S6F3T3H/ref=sr_1_11?keywords=bnc+cable&qid=1564088185&s=gateway&sr=8-11 maybe not as long tho will let you send power and video while running only one cable.

And he would need a power supply. The camera requires 12VDC 1A and that shouldn't be hard to find, with some cable lengths you have to step up the voltage a bit to get the 12V to the camera (longer cables can drop the voltage level).

That's why I'm looking into a new monitor. The one I have only goes down to 800x600.

I am wondering if this monitor is the issue, and the problem is that the resolution only goes down to 800x600 while this monitor goes down to 640x480 which is a standard BNC resolution. Let me know what you think about that and I'll look into purchasing the new monitor to hopefully resolve this and if it works I have 4 other machines with the same old CRT monitors that are all 25 years old. Great machines, but they need an update.

Not quite that cheap, but I've got an older version of the Toguard 10.1 inch displays that I'm quite pleased with.

No. Standard monitor. https://www.amazon.com/TOGUARD-Portable-Computer-1280x800-Respberry/dp/B01D17GPI4

Things I have found so far:

Im not sure how to judge the ones I find. Im not just looking at resolution right?

Thanks,

Here’s the monitor.

Ok, well, on a quick search, it seems the monitors are cheaper than they were when I last looked at some.

Here is one, assuming you have the correct video ports available on your PC.

This one is cheaper, but with a 1 star rating (but it's because they guy didn't install drivers, so it MAY work, but up to you to if you want to risk it).

Lastly, this one works through USB and doesn't need anything besides that, however some stated it doesn't work with Mac, so depends on what PC you have.

It's actually cheap enough for those few, I may end up buying my wife one, as she had mentioned wanting one a while ago to go with her old all in one touchscreen PC. Thanks for reminding me to look this stuff up!

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06W5WB26H

Another solution:
https://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Thin-High-Res-Portable-Security-Surveillance/dp/B06W5WB26H/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1519680868&sr=1-3&keywords=7+inch+display

7 inch wide x 4.6 inch long
0.3 frame (0.8 inch real depth)

The good thing about the above one is that button are on the front and it seems they solve the problem of the cables by adding more depth and making the whole case larger.
The major problem is that is LED and not IPS.

This zywall should be able to do it- http://www.amazon.com/ZyXEL-Internet-Security-Firewall-Gigabit/dp/B0042W7CAI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416495985&sr=8-1&keywords=zywall+20


This ERL should be able to do it, as well- http://www.amazon.com/EdgeRouter-ERLite-3-512MB-Ethernet-Router/dp/B00CPRVF5K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416496041&sr=8-1&keywords=ubiquiti+edge

0- WAN
1- LAN1
2- LAN2

Keep in mind, the ERL would need a firmware upgrade to be able to do this via the GUI, unless it is shipped with the latest firmware, not sure.

Here are the smallest ones I can find in a quick and dirty search:

https://www.amazon.com/Elecrow-Raspberry-1920X1080p-Resolution-Speakers/dp/B076GZVCP2/

https://www.amazon.com/Loncevon-Portable-Computer-Raspberry-Headphone/dp/B06XQJVXHL/

https://www.amazon.com/Touchscreen-Monitor-1024x600-Speakers-Raspberry/dp/B07S51QDTG/

..although I've never heard of "Elecrow" or "Loncevon" brands, so God knows what kind of Chinese weirdness would show up in your mailbox if you ordered one :)

This kinda thing happens all the time and yet Riot still has your client display your IP maybe that's it's happening in the tournaments they will take a closer look now. About all you can do is use a nice ISP and a good Firewall to help protect your self but they are not all ways 100%. Here is a nice external firewall that can help stop a ddos and seems to work most of the time.
