We're Isis & Bertus. In the summer of 2023 we moved into a neglected farmhouse in a tiny village in the northwest of Italy. The last inhabitants left some 10 years ago, but large parts of the property have been empty for over 20 years.
The pigments and other ingredients for the natural paint we are making in this episode were purchased through www.ocres-de-france.com/ (not sponsored) who we absolutely recommend if you were thinking of doing this yourself too.
Thank you for joining us on our adventure!

Reolink has been giving them away like candy. Laura Kampf did a video last week(she drew a little face on it, to give it some personality)😁 You can make them resemble WALL-E or Johnny 5. Very smart marketing move, why still make expensive commercials for media nobody watches anymore. I'm sure they're perfectly fine camera's, but i have nothing worth stealing.😉

New sub here! Great year time lapse! I follow a bunch of Portugal and Italy Reno shows and I always think that the first thing I would do would be to plant fruit trees! They take so long to grow and produce fruit so I figure that could all be happening while you renovate! Have you done a full tour of the land and already have a bunch? I’m binging your shows now and hopefully will find a tour! Be well!

Hi Kelly, Welcome! We had initially hoped to plant a bunch of fruit trees this fall/winter, but ran out of time. Hopefully the coming fall/winter. That said, we already have loquat, mulberry, sour cherry, cherry plum, plum, pear and apple trees. All old varieties so they're not equally prolific every year, but still give us a bunch of fruit throughout the summer. We did a land tour video in February, the title is "40 acres of Italy".

Thank you for your concern! The optimal placement for security cameras depends on many factors. In Europe for domestic security cameras it is recommended to hang them between 2 and 3 metres. Any recordings heigher than 3m are considered useless. It's also obligatory by European privacy law to make clear that your property is being supervised.

I used to be in the security camera business and you cameras are placed to low. Anyone can interfere with them or steal them and you will have vegatation triggering false alrms - so that you will eventually get sick of them. Cameras need to be placed as high as possible to get the best field of view - to be hard to get at - and to allow for a wider field of view. This will also help then to distinguish between a tree moving or a person or car.

Thanks for another great video :) Velluto is so comfortable around you….another milestone in him choosing to step onto your leg! Woohoo!!🎉 I am so very pleased that you were offered this sponsorship….. I have been quietly worrying about all of the tools shown on the videos……it looks like many years of collecting and expensive to replace. It just takes the one person watching with bad intent to see what you have and it’s not difficult to find your property……so the fantastic camera system really is needed. It appears even without your channel there are opportunistic thieves around the area :( The finished doors are stunning……they may have taken many hours of work, but, my goodness, they are a masterpiece of restoration! I love the final colour, it tones so well with the stone. You are both such talented people! Do mulberries taste similar to blackberries? Final question…..do you think the whole of the balcony concrete is reinforced with cane? ….and is that as weak as it seems to my untrained brain? Thanks again 😊

Much to reply to :-) 1) mulberry is somewhat similar to blackberry but it's sweeter. I really like them. 2) there is actual rebar in the balcony too, luckily! but large parts of the balcony are in bad condition and we'll need to replace the whole thing. a farm not too far from us has replaced their concrete balcony for chestnut boards and we really love that solution so likely will go the same route. 3) our tools are the main reason for getting the cameras.

Publicly posting where your security cameras are doesn’t seem like a good idea. Nor does putting them within easy reach, a burglar can easily reach from the ground and cover or dismantle. Plus the lower to the ground the more readily they are spotted. It certainly is sad such measures need to be taken, but predators/thieves are everywhere. An inconvenient truth. Take care and stay safe. And I really enjoy your vlog, thank you for sharing your new lives in Italy.

That's the hard part about being sponsored by a security camera brand, you kind of need to disclose where you're putting them :-) They are certainly not accessible from the ground. We are tall northerners and we need a ladder to reach them. They are at the recommended height (much higher and number plates become unlegible and face recognition useless) but we might tweak the positions a little still over the next weeks.

that is really strange and we can't do much about it i'm afraid. i noticed your question several times and each time have gone to check on the video if i could enable portuguese subtitles and each time it worked for me. i also know other people watch our videos with portuguese subtitles because i can see it in the statistics of our channel. i really hope you can find a solution and i'm sorry it doesn't seem to be working.

You should put your camera high enough to not be able to reach from the ground! If it is too low, they can steal it.
@storiesfromthecascina 20 күн бұрын
Hi Maria! Thank you for being concerned about the effectiveness of our setup. The cameras are not reachable from the ground - we are tall northerners and need a ladder to reach them :-) We might tweak the height a little over the next weeks but we need to find a balance between height and the cameras being able to register number plates etc. :-)

You might want to run some practice tests with those cameras. There is a lot of info online about what police needs on the footage the cameras generate. In practice home cameras are often easily noticeable, and within reach of the baddies in order for them to knock the cameras out. Also the cameras should be placed such that numberplates, faces, clothing, and other discerning details are best registered. That also precludes sufficient resolution in order to be able zoom in without losing detail. 1080p is the bare minimum. Higher resolution is worth the money. Baddies often drive to and fro a view times in order to spot an opportunity, and then investigate. So a simple test would be to put your car somewhat further back on the shoulder of the road. At night. And then see if the camera can pick up the number plate. And same while driving past at some speed. Perhaps also ask the local carabinieri too?
@storiesfromthecascina 20 күн бұрын
Some tests and talking to the local carabinieri is never a bad idea of course! The resolution of the argus 4 pro is something around 5120 by 1440p. They were positioned at the recommended height as well. Cameras are only one of the things you can do and by themselves they might not 100% prevent break-ins, but it's a start :-)

@@storiesfromthecascina True. But police says that too often the footage is only good enough to helplessly watch it happening. While not good enough detailing for any investigative purposes. I did some digging and noticed Reolink has some nice pages about the differences in resolution. Reolink states "To prevent burglars from your house and to catch the criminals with clear evidence, you'd better install the 1440p security cameras." 1440p is 2K. But Reolink offers 4K security cameras (4096 x 2160), stating the Argus 4 Pro is 4K. Your clip also shows on the camera itself (5:33), so you're OK. 😊 Still, do some tests. *And PLEASE don't forget to change the security parameters on each camera, in order to prevent hacking. Major issue nowadays.*

About gypsies I wish to tell you to know that they become more active during the summer holidays in Italy in august and during all Christmas holidays! They are always around and observing, usually has not so new bigger cars or caravan! You should know also that they are able to manage also with more than one antifurto in the house! Be careful and not leave home things you don't wish to lose!

We live in a village where everyone looks out for one another where possible, but the smaller the population density, the harder that is when it comes to break-ins.

Nous avons le même problème de sécurité MAIS nous avons l'antidote. Ce dernier s'appelle Oriane et Scott. La première est une femelle berger allemand de 42 kg extrêmement sportive et possessive. Le deuxième est un berger américain de 29 kg qui aboie d'abord, bloque les importuns pendant que la femelle leurs fait des piercings dans le fessier. C'est redoutable mais la prestation est gratuite ! De plus les voisins sont aussitôt alertés et sont sur le qui-vive. Les rôdeurs se font rares ! We have the same security problem BUT we have the antidote. The antidote is called Oriane and Scott. The first is a German Shepherd female of 42 kg extremely sporty and possessive.

It's very sad and disappointing to hear that from a small town that is supposed to be safe and free of thieves you have to install camaras. I'm pretty sure that inhabitants know who are the thieves, it's a small town and everybody knows each other and it's unusual having stranger people hanging around.

Hi Angela! In this particular case we chose to make the sponsored product part of the story rather then keeping it in one small block - because installing them took a good chunck out of our week and honestly without those parts there wouldn't have been much of a video. We only do a very small number of sponsored videos and it's our intention to keep it that way too. Thank you for your understanding and for supporting the channel!

@storiesfromthecascina 20 күн бұрын
Hi there! Sponsorships are part of what makes the videos possible (making a video each week is pretty much a full-time job and add revenue is the worst-paying job until you get 100k views per video). We only do sponsorships sporadically (4 videos out of 43 so far) and none of them are paid - only gifted products. We only work with brands we feel aligned with (we turn down around 4 sponsorship requests for every sponsored video we make). And we intend for it to stay that way. Thank you for understanding.
