Timely, but this happens often enough that it's not really news.

Dahua (like Hikvision) make workable cameras but are a bit lackadaisical with their attitude to security.

I didn't say they were bottom of the barrel. I said they (and Dahua) are about as low down in the barrel as you want to go. There's plenty below them, but there's a lot above them also. You get what you pay for. For domestic use they're probably fine, but keep them isolated from the world.

Yeah I have to agree, 300 watts does seem like a lot. My entire server rack (2 servers, 2 switches, firewall and a few other bits of pieces) pulls about 500 watts in total.
