All the code is available on GitHub in case you also have a DSC 1550 alarm system. This allows him to send text messages to himself when the alarm system is armed, disarmed, or triggered. He’s using an Arduino Uno and an Ethernet breakout board to hook it up to the network.
The cool thing is he was actually inspired by another similar project we shared on Hackaday a few years ago entitled Bending a Home Security Control Panel to Your Will. But that project only showed you how to interface the Arduino with the keypad - went the extra mile and interfaced directly with the control board for more features. Not wanting to pay a monthly fee to have it setup, he decided to try interfacing an Arduino with the system in order to push events to the net!
Because the higher color depth of HDR requires more data, the increased compression efficiency of 4:2:0 format by DSC 1.2a and through the DP 1.4a transport specification (which recognizes the BT.2020 color standard) will be a key enabler for driving adoption of HDR TV technology-especially as resolutions increase beyond 4K.When moved into his new house, he found an old alarm panel set up - but it had no monitoring service any more.
This enables more efficient compression (e.g., 2:1 for YCbCr 4:2:0 coding versus 3:1 with RGB conversion), which in turn results in superior image quality for digital TVs, which often utilize YCbCr 4:2:0 coding.
Since its initial introduction in April 2014, the DSC standard has achieved broad adoption in smart phones and tablets, and will be used in future notebook PCs. These include the VESA embedded DisplayPort (eDP™) Standard v1.4b and the MIPI Display Serial Interface (DSI) specification v1.2 and later versions. Developed as an industry-wide compression standard for video interfaces that features low latency and visually lossless performance, DSC is currently integrated into standards used for embedded display interfaces within mobile systems.
