I flew from Doha to Brussels on a brand new (0.4 year old) Dreamliner.

There is on board WiFi, and it’s unlike those I’ve seen before on Lufthansa.

The WiFi is provided by OnAir (owned by SITA, ex Airbus), a Swiss-Merican company using what cell towers (that’s what their landing page said – but their website says satellites + and it worked over the sea).

I’m almost starting to miss Shenzhen… ;) They are barely overselling it…

Bru => Doha => Hanoi => ??? => Ho Chi Minh City => Doha => Bru.

See you in two weeks.

Proximus Innovation team handed me a D-Link DCS-2132L (ver. B1) to play with. I have some experience with, what is considered, a professional (~€120 + tax) PoE surveillance camera: the Unifi Video Camera (basic version).

Amazon retails this D-Link for around €120 (including tax). So it’s worth noting it’s almost the same price as a metal, semi outdoor, cloud based camera.

The first things I noticed unpacking:

• Plastic. And it feels very plastic.
• Indoor only.
• The base is a bit light if you just want to set it on a table without screwing it or using glue. The utp and power cable can make it trip easily.
• No PoE (power-over-ethernet).
• Infrared (you can clearly hear the filter 'clicking' when booting up the camera)

This thing comes with ethernet, and, surprisingly, with WiFi. That’ll make it easier to use in small shops. There’s also an option to add a micro SD card as local storage.
