I've been using Samsung Wisenet cameras for years, and they're really hard to use - perhaps that's because the people who write the manuals don't understand English. What I've been able to establish is that, the systems can do great things, but none of those functions are accessible from any remote point. You actually have to stand in front of the DVR box with the remote and a keyboard to look back at recorded images! Can't do it from the PC or phone apps. I hate to waste money on yet another system, but I need to be able to fully control everything from a remote location. Maybe Wyze can fill the bill...

The apps for wyze are all mobile, so yeah - it sounds like it will get you closer at least.

Thanks for that info, honey tc! I appreciate that, since I'm about to start a new job managing and engineering a utility scale solar project that's 100 miles away. I'm going to have to acquire new housing in that area, and really have to have a way to monitor my main home.

Sure thing! Yeah these should be able to remotely monitor because it's all cloudy and stuff. 
You may have to pay for their service to do remote monitoring now, but I don't remember it being expensive - quite the opposite, like $2 a month or something? I could be wrong, I just half remember it.

I've been happliy using Wansview Q5 Wifi/ethernet indoor cameras. meh optics, 2k resolution. Pan, and tilt, micro sd slot. Very stable. Affordable on Amazon. They must make all their money from cloud services, Cannot imagine how they could otherwise profit selling the hardware so cheaply, dunno, I don't subscribe. Decent functional, basic Android app, adjustable motion sensing and alerts, two way coms, etc. Even more 'basic' mostly functional windows app. I may fire up my rountoit, and look into using blue iris one of these days

Meh, I have a love-hate relationship with them.
Innovative and inexpensive, but inconsistent across their product lines. At times, they seem to be trying to do too much with too little resources. That could be a function of maintaining the lower price points.
Project management uses the fire and squirrel process. Ok, we all probably do to some degree, well, I do , but sometimes the squirrels seem to rule with Wyze and the company is large enough to do otherwise.
Pick and choose products based on their forum comments.

That's good to know.
I think the Wyze Cam 3, and I've heard the Wyze Cam 2 are decent in terms of all that, although their "HD" isn't true HD as far as I can tell.
However, with a firmware patch (I thought it only applied to v2 but Chris Maunder wrote an article about "downgrading" the v3) you can get direct streaming back onto the device. There's a standard protocol it supports for it, Rsomething I forget.
Anyway, at that point you can use it with 3rd party software, including your own - at least as I understand things.

I really like the hardware, and I despise the software. Image quality is great, size of the camera and low-light image is amazing. They introduced RTSP support in a beta firmware a few years ago, which let folks with BlueIris and other software access the camera's video feed. Then they pulled it from their website saying they didn't have the resources to support that feature alongside everything else. Soon after, they had new subscription services for everyone to sign up for. I think it was a money-grab for their subscription service.
Meanwhile, my app usually takes 30 seconds to try to load the camera feeds, and half of them don't load. They seem to drop their network connection frequently, even though some are 10 feet from my access point with a clear line-of-sight. I have a few that were downgraded to the firmware that supports RTSP, and those show up instantly in SecuritySpy. The only problem is that the video feed drops every few minutes and then reconnects. But that's still 1,000% better than using their app, where the video usually don't load at all.
If they added real RTSP support they could charge twice the money for the camera and sell a lot to folks who don't want to be a part of their cloud. But they seem to be pushing everyone to subscribe and pay them forever for using their cams.
I've also spent hours working with support to resolve the problems I have with the app, but no luck.
So again...great hardware, terrible software, overall frustrating experience. But I guess many others are happy with what they get.

My son texted us this morning from school, and said that one of his class comrade committed suicide /edit: on the day before, at home. (My son is 15, so was he). No friend of his, and a rather lonely guy (nah...), but still...
Class was canceled and the school organized psy support sessions in small groups for the rest of the day.
Ouch. He had not been confronted to death until now (my grandpa died some ten years ago, my son was too little to remember and realize), so this is rather brutal. I just cannot think about the parents of that poor kid...

Hmmm, but why? is the question being asked I bet.

Definitely - I think we will know more when he is home.
This is just insane.

Tragic but sadly not a new phenomenon.
A billion years ago when I was in 8th grade (14 y/o) a classmate (popular, funny, intelligent) hung himself in his bedroom closet. No note, no explanation. His twin sister found him.
A couple years later a 15 y/o old neighbor went missing. They found him after 3 days with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. He'd walked to a nearby cemetery. He was a clean cut kid that always followed the rules. His note said he didn't want to leave a mess for his mother to clean-up (hence the cemetery) and couldn't live with the shame that he'd tried smoking pot while at summer camp a few weeks prior.
Bottom line - teenagers are a mental nightmare of undeveloped brains, hormones and angst. Throw in the pressures of modern life (even worse today with social media) and we have a recipe for disaster.

Yep, but teens nor their parents are willing to give it up. Then they want to know 'why?' when the inevitable happens.

My daughter is in 7th. Classmate of hers died by suicide this year. Super tragic, really shook the class.

here is the code-
public static int partition(int array[],int start,int end)
{
int pivot_index=(start+end)/2;
int pivot=array[pivot_index];
int i=start;
int j=end;
while(i<j)
{
="" while(array[i]<pivot)
="" i++;
="" }
="" while(="" array[j]="">pivot)
{
j--;
}
if(i

1) Read the red text at the top of this page: No programming questions in the Lounge.
2) You have already posted this in QA:
Cannot implement quick sort algorithm using pivot as middle element.how do I solve it?[^]
3) You still haven't fixed the problem with what you posted in QA - namely, the code you have pasted is corrupt and incomplete.

Even if that was complete, and formatted, and top quality code ... why are you posting it here?
We all wrote bubble sort, quicksort, double bubble, and such like when we were students. We pretty much don't write them now because we have optimised versions in libraries that we "just call" - there are exceptions, but they tend to be both rare and specialized and that code is neither - so why would we be interested in it.
Unless it doesn't work, and you need help - in which case it's rather rude of you to just ignore the writing in read at the top of the page ...

So are you going to listen to the comments on the other copy of this you posted?
If not, you're not going to get anywhere on your assignment.
