#RudyTuesday "The ultimate in field-level coverage is the camera mounted on a jeep. This too has been talked about for many years, but in the 1950 season KTTV in Hollywood actually put the idea into practice. The jeep was converted into a 'camera car' by bolting on a channel steel support which extended a foot or so out from the back, on which could be mounted the rotating turret of a studio Sanner camera crane. Although this camera was not used for trucking shots, it could easily keep abreast of the line of scrimmage and a very dramatic low shot down the line was obtained which could be used just before the start of each play." – Techniques of Television Production, by Rudy Bretz (McGraw-Hill, 1953)

Weird ask but

Do objects (like controllers, or remotes) have batteries inside of them?

Since their counter parts need batteries to power on and function do they need them too?

And do those objects even have compartments for batteries??

since they're organic creatures and not technological in nature, no, they don't need batteries. they have structures similar to battery compartments but it's for carrying their young

Smart TV remotes should add back the number pad, but instead of just numbers, it should be used as a keyboard that functions like flip phones. Even if it's not a perfect typing experience, having one of that flip phone keyboards on the remote would make typing so much easier than having to using the arrows and select button. They could even replace the "#" and "*" keys with a number lock and a symbol lock to allow for passwords and whatnot be typed.

So can we all agree that Ao3 is the top?

Smart Technology & Roller Garage Doors: Key Fobs, Remotes & More

As home security and convenience continue to evolve, so do the technologies that support them. One area seeing a major upgrade across UK households is the humble garage door. Once operated by hand or basic switches, modern roller garage doors now benefit from smart technologies that make daily access easier, safer, and more efficient.

Whether you’re upgrading your current garage or building a new one, integrating smart access technology into your roller garage door isn’t just a luxury—it’s becoming the new standard. Here’s everything UK homeowners need to know about key fobs, remote controls, smart systems, and the latest in garage door automation.

The Rise of Smart Roller Garage Doors

Roller garage doors have long been valued for their space-saving design, vertical operation, and enhanced security. Today, these doors are even more effective thanks to smart technologies that improve how you interact with them.

Smart roller garage doors typically include:

Remote control operation

Key fob access

Wall-mounted digital switches

Smartphone connectivity

Wi-Fi or Bluetooth integration

Voice assistant compatibility (e.g., Alexa, Google Assistant)

These features not only improve user convenience but also increase safety, especially for households with children, elderly residents, or those who access their garage multiple times a day.

Key Fob Operation: Compact and Convenient

One of the most popular options among UK homeowners is the key fob-operated roller garage door. Key fobs are small, pocket-sized devices that allow you to open or close your door from a distance—usually within 30–50 metres.

Benefits of Key Fobs:

Hands-free convenience when arriving home in bad weather

Compact and easy to carry with car or house keys

Encrypted signals to prevent cloning or hacking

Multiple fob programming – ideal for families with more than one vehicle

Many modern systems allow up to four fobs to be paired with a single door, giving each user individual access.

Remote Controls & Wall Switches: Everyday Ease

While key fobs are great for mobile use, remote controls and internal wall-mounted switches provide reliable in-house control. Most remote systems come with:

One-touch buttons

Battery backup

Safety stop/reverse features

Indicator lights for operational status

Some setups also include digital keypads, allowing you to enter a PIN code instead of using a remote. This is perfect for households that want to limit key fob distribution or provide temporary access to guests or service providers.

Smartphone Control: Your Garage in Your Pocket

A growing number of roller garage doors can now be controlled via smartphone apps. These smart garage door openers connect to your home’s Wi-Fi or Bluetooth network and integrate with your mobile device to give you full control—even when you’re not at home.

Key Features:

Open/close from anywhere

Receive notifications if the door is left open

Set schedules or timers

Monitor access history

Allow temporary access to others

Some systems also integrate with home security apps, giving you full visibility and control of your garage door alongside cameras, alarms, and other smart devices.

Voice Control & Automation

Advanced systems even support voice commands via Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple Siri. Imagine arriving home with hands full and simply saying, “Hey Alexa, open the garage door”.

Plus, automation features allow you to program doors to open or close at specific times, or when your phone enters a geofenced area—perfect for streamlining your daily routine.

Safety & Security First

While smart features improve convenience, they also enhance safety:

Obstruction detection: Automatically stops the door if something is in its path

Auto-close timers: Ensures your door never stays open unintentionally

Encrypted access: Protects against code grabbing or signal cloning

Battery backups: Keeps your door operable during power outages
