Hi… I started playing 5 aside with my friends. We are all in late 30s to mid 40s. The games are not competitive and slow due to age and fitness. I used to play football a lot when I was a kid but I was never that kid who was fast and wiggles between lines and scores.

I am very good in defence, slide tackle and press and make the opponent uncomfortable so he passes or I steal the ball. I am always the best in defending which is a bit frustrating as we concede goals from other players that I am not marking.

Anyway..my problem is I don’t know how to deal with 1-2-1 situations and finishing in front of the goal.

When I roll the ball from midfield and face a player, I either pass to a mate, or try to skill the player and go pass him but I fail this a lot, my brain freezes and I panic of losing the ball and I jump over the ball like I don’t know what to do or which way to go lol trying to get away and eventually I lose the ball.

When I am outside the area “ ( “ outside the goal I always shoot hard, but despite aiming on the sides of the goals, I always shot at the keeper lol… again in that spot I am already afraid I would lose the ball so I shoot quickly. Oh also when I am outside that area, the defence is clustered and I find it hard to trick the player to go left so I go right and shoot if you know what I mean?

I hope if someone can guide me to a good basic training or drills even if they are designed for kids, so I train at home and practice doing it in the games.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi… for months I’ve been finding it difficult to commit to programs due to family commitments in scattered off days.

I was wondering if I can do Anabolic home version in my off days? I am hoping to do the sessions in the early morning before the kids are awake. I have around 40mins. I tried MAPS 15 but I found it basic and no obvious results.

Here are my off days for the next 3 months if you can advise me how to use Anabolic through

July
4,5,6
10,11,12
16,17
22,23
27,28

August
1,2,3
7,8,9,
13,14,
19,20,
24,25,
29,30,31

September
4,5,6
10,11,
16,17
21,22,
26,27,28

Can Anabolic the home version be good as it is or should I omit or add things? Note my off days are mainly 2 in a row only.

Thank you in advance

Hi.. I used to see three foxes coming to my garden after midnight/early morning. (UK).

They were a big fox with two cubs. The cubs used to jump and play like kids. The mom goes to the front of the house then the cubs follow.

But lately since 3 weeks, I stopped seeing them together.

I only see a small fox of a size of a big cat but slimmer. He looks healthy and goes and comes to the same direction the old trio used to go along.

Not sure if he is one of those two cubs? Could something have happened to the mother? Not sure what happened to the other sibling either.

So far he looks ok but I just want to know if there are worrying signs I should know about? So I help if my help is needed or contact animal charity etc.
Thank you.

Hi.. I'm looking to buy and install a camera inside a nest box so the kids can watch the birds.

I know it's a bit late in the season to get any occupants right now, but I want to get it mounted early so local birds can get used to it by the time winter arrives.

After doing some research, I've looked at purpose built setups from companies like Green Feathers and Green Backyard. I'm skipping Birdfy because I already have a specific tall, angled nest box ready to go.

I know the dedicated wildlife cameras are pre focused specifically for the tight, close up dimensions of a bird box.

But what about standard smart home cameras like Tapo, Blink, or a Ring Stick Up Cam? Has anyone successfully used a Blink or Tapo camera for this, and can you advise if they are reliable or prone to dropping their connection?

For power, I have great WiFi coverage at that spot and plan to either route the cable up into the loft or run a flat wire through a window frame.

The specialist wildlife cameras are quite a bit more expensive and look completely different, so I'm a bit torn. I'd love to get your advice on the best route to take.

Hi all… I have a red membership and my son has a junior one.

I was thinking of letting the current one expires and then we buy ourselves a new one for the next season, at least he would get some kids bag or anything that comes with junior membership? Am I thinking right?

I know some would say that we will lose our Silver membership queue spot but I can see that many “Silver people” been waiting for years and seems the benefits are not that great.

What do you think?

Hi… I am new to this system and coming from Ring system. My NVR is in the loft and I don’t have access to a monitor to connect it to the NVR and do the motion detection set up.

I accessed the NVR through web browser and also through the IVMS 4200. In both ways I don’t see any camera feed in the event section so I can draw the targeted area in order to get motion alerts.

I have MacBook and no access to Windows system.

I noticed that in the Event section on the browser I get a message: Download and install the web plug-in to use the function.

I click download but it takes me to another page with error: Access Error: 404 -- Not Found.

Can someone guide me please through this?

My aim is to get notifications when motion detected in specific area of the scene and if possible get them for other cameras in a specific time frame, like for the back garden during the night only?

Thank you

Hi… I have doorbell Pro. Hardwired.

Video duration set on 120seconds.

Bird’s eye zone: off

Motion sensitivity: max

Automatic motion sensitivity: off

Smart alerts: off

Motion frequency: frequently.

Videos are recorded in chunks as long as motion presents. Before it used to start recording once motion detected and continues until the 120 seconds are up.

This chunking style causing various motions alerts and missing movement in between.

I did a reboot but it stays the same.

Can someone advise of a solution please?
