He's doing a webinar series, so I volunteered to do the video surveillance segment. Except it's entitled 'everything you need to know about video surveillance' which is obviously not a thing you can cover in 60 minutes. I asked him for a more circumspect title and he was all 'LOL, it's fine'.

- I am going to a state CPR training class tonight
- Tomorrow: record DSC videos. I am planning to have collected enough data and videos to finish test on Thursday.
Finished up Hikvision TOS report this morning.
Various comments on discussion topics
Tabulated some survey results, particularly markup statistics. Will work on that report next.

Emailed Axis to try and get a little more info on Sustainability webinar topic around PVC in cameras.

for panasonic / future WDR tests, we need gifs to track movement like we did in WDR shootout
