    Vatilon cameras firmware update instructions?

    Surprisingly silence. Well, I will share my own resolution. Here what I found and I guess also lost: Cameras from Vatilon, aka Huishi, super popular on Ali-express-baba, all suffering from the same problem: Most of the time some cameras serving still/JPEG of zero size. Unless your setup uses...

    Vatilon cameras firmware update instructions?

    I have number of Vatilon's PB4 and H42 cameras deployed. Generally I'm happy with performance but there appeared to be some bugs: Loosing NTP settings, regularly drops to manual time settings and then displayed time will drift. When NTP set - it does sync as expected but usually after a few...

    Opinions on Cloud based video surveillance systems ?

    Absolutely no-no! From reliability at the mercy of internet, to security and privacy. Bandwidth with large installations and high res cameras is also a limit. My recorder runs couple hundreds Mb/sec on 1000 interface, not something to keep internet constantly hot. Not just internet/cloud...

    Any info about Front panel for common NVR/DVR?

    I've purchased number of NVR and DVR boards of Ali/eBay/Amazon. All of them have very similar (or the same?) 10-pin interface that marked as "front panel". Searching for front panel board mysteriously being completely fruitless: I can't find any available for sale. I've asked sellers of...
