Hi I have searched google and the forums, but I cannot find an answer. I have a Wyze Cam V3 flashed with RTSP firmware. The camera outputs a RTSP stream and I can view the stream using VLC media player, but I cannot get my Dahua NVR to add the camera stream. The stream format is...

I suppose they removed the functionality to encourage you to use their cameras. The RTSP connection string is also fixed, so you cannot even use RTSP as the string differs for different cameras.

Hi, I have the same problem. The camera shows up and I can add it, but the NVR will not connect to the camera. I can view the camera's RTSP stream on VLC Media player, but the NVR cannot access it. I am sure it should be possible to add it as it has been possible on previous versions of Dahua...

I think this would be a viable option. I am going to look into this, thanks.

Accessing homeassistant does not require al lot of bandwith. Using cloudflare made more sense than setting up a local VPN just to open the homeassistant GUI. When I set up homeassistant remote access with cloudflare, streaming was not something I needed so it was the easiest thing to do at the...

" If you use a paid VPN that masks your IP address for illegal streaming and porno then yes your traffic would go thru VPN wherever you are. This is what you think VPN is....but that is not what we are referring to. " This is what I was referring to when I said that I do understand. I am...

A quote from security.org: " Do VPNs Slow Down Connections? The simple answer is yes, every VPN slows down your connection to some degree. That’s because all the encryption to secure your internet connection takes time to code and decode. Some encryption methods and protocols slow down devices...

I understand exactly what a local VPN server is. I am not referring to a cloud / remote hosted / paid VPN service when I talk about traffic going through a VPN. I am referring to traffic passing through and getting encrypted locally on your own VPN server. Encrypting data even when done locally...

The issue is that I do not want local traffic to go through the VPN as it seems counter intuitive to secure / encrypt local traffic and in the process slowing it down. There would probably be a way to do this, and I thought that maybe someone has figured it out.

Ok, thanks, I will read up a bit more on VPN's. My understanding was that if you use a VPN server - client configuration, all traffic passes through the server and it encrypts the traffic and that would slow it down even if it is done locally.

I think maybe I am not explaining my problem properly or maybe I need to do more research, but my problem is not creating a secure method of connecting to my cameras, but more of a routing problem. (security is important for the remote connection, but I do not want local traffic to also go...

I did look at setting up a vpn, but would that not give me the same result? If I use vpn the local traffic (as I understand) would also pass through the vpn so it would still be slow as I will not have a "local" connection when on my local network.

Hi I have Dahua cameras that I use with sd cards for intrusion detection and it is working quite well, but I have a problem with the app and SmartPSS. The issue is that when I am on my local network I need to stream the cameras locally and when I am not on my local network I need to still be...

Are there any pro's / con's to going with hdcvi vs ip? It has been a while since I've had anything to do with analogue cameras and if I remember correctly you needed extra baluns for connecting analogue cameras to the DVR, otherwise the video quality would be horrible.

I basically would like to be notified when someone enters the area. Another option at a similar price as 2 cameras would be 2 hdcvi cameras (much cheaper) and a DH-XVR1B08H-I dvr that has AI built in. (8ch) The main function is intrusion detection with the least amount of false alarms.
