I have a client who is in need of stealth Cameras due to an ongoing violent situation which is seeing their normal edge cameras being taken off line.
I was naturally looking at the Starlight versions but noticed the 4mp non starlight has better low light specs then the starlight version.
Am I...
Not a surprise really considering how much they like to call home.
Placing the cameras on a another subnet/vlan, blocking that subnet from all Internet access and most other devices on the LAN is the only sure fire way to keep them secure.
VPN for remote access.
IOT have no good reason being...
Pretty much.
They are decent cameras out of the box but if you need to update, you'll need to download the modded firmwares from here: Dahua Firmware Mod Kit + Modded Dahua Firmware
Cheers for the heads up.
This is why I'm always 2-3 firmwares behind on everything, find one firmware that works and stick with it.
Let others trip over the undocumented "features". :)
I had huge issues with the mini 0806, would randomly crash or stop recording, even with the shock sensor settings turned off.
GPS logging was hit and miss as well...
Maybe I had a faulty unit...who knows.
Ended up with DOD 470w cams and haven't looked back since.
You are very welcome. :)
I was going to link this as a general guide but wasn't too sure if you were that keen on cracking it open. :)
