    Thinking the downgrade / upgrade of firmware will keep the WLAN stuff / password stuff and other settings in place. Here only connect the wireless doorbell at 2.4Ghz with a unique SSID on my Ruckus WAP for the doorbell so I set the radio on that SSID to be using 2.4Ghz only. That and using the...

    Here first thing I did was redid the framing for a new sturdy aluminum telescopic ladder and redid the attic access panel and insulation on the second floor of the two story. Then built a removable cat walk end to end with 4 ' X 4 ' pieces of plywood and 120VAC illuminated the attic end to end...

    are u using any special options for the onvif integration? No. I look at both streams. I did the plug n play configuration for the onvif integration. I do see something has changed that I did not ever configure. On the configuration tab see: Extra FFMPEG options - pred 1 RTSP transport -...

    Hmm interesting I dont see my onvif user under the user dialog however it is working with in Home assistant so perhaps I just used the admin account when I set up the onvif integration and when adding onvif using batch config. I just used the admin account for setting up HA / Hikvision / ONVIF...

    What user/password am I supposed to use setting up the home assistant onvif integration? Personally I use the admin password I configured in Batch Configuration. It is the same to access ONVIF integration. Here is the Windows ONVIF manager program. Note the users / passwords are the same...

    My TP-link AX11000 router isn't as VLAN configurable as I had hoped. New router input? *Not PFSense right now.

    Best to keep it simple VLAN wise. I currently utilize an Arris SB6190 (docis 3.0) and was testing an Arris SB8200 (docis 3.1) modems. With the PFSense box having multiple NICs you can physically isolate networks. Multiple VLANs on one switch still hit the back plane of the switch relating to...

    My TP-link AX11000 router isn't as VLAN configurable as I had hoped. New router input? *Not PFSense right now.

    @NightLife Good news. PFsense out of the box with OS base is in Firewall mode. Baby steps. The GUI is intuitive. Watch the instructional videos. You cannot break PFSense. There are many add ons and built in features. Personally here addons run are Snort, pfBlockerNG, Backup and OpenVPN...

    Camera for end of 1000' driveway ? WiFi? Ethernet? Other?

    A few years back built a brick structure for my mail box. Ran 12VDC, 120 VAC switched and always on power, two network cables and wired in under driveway sensors (Cartel) except that it was not 1000 feet. It would be easy to extend the network to 1000 feet using fiber. Here were views from...

    Thank you @Duh987 Installed on the Zoneminder box. Been testing some Hikvision camera boards (3) which are tacked to a wall next to the servers. Not in a rush to get the USB board... These are generic boards and the firmware does have AI recognition from what I can see with batch...

    @Duh987 Reading your stuff thinking maybe of testing Frigate on the Zoneminder box which is running Ubuntu 20.04 these days. Been using Zoneminder for many years now. Running BI on same hardware with Windows 2016. Goodbye Zoneminder Or would it be better to install it on my combo Ubuntu HA...

    That and try to find an ISP that will give you both symmetrical up and downloading speeds for your home. They say they are losing money so then they go to bucket charges and data caps like cellular companies do. Years ago managing air to ground internet traffic via satellite the only deal I...

    Understood. The 101 FAQ relates to using the DB with the cloud app. Modifying the firmware / taking it off the cloud can be treacherous and you can brick you DB. Yes here took the DB off of the cloud (no apps) when upgrading from the Nelly firmware to the Hikvision firmware and changed the...

    My TP-link AX11000 router isn't as VLAN configurable as I had hoped. New router input? *Not PFSense right now.

    That was a big issue especially using PFSense a few years back. The Netgate folks issued a statement then that no new versions of PFSense were going to support non AES computers which PO'd their client base. Yes you can purchase a Haswell based mITX board these days for nothing. But you...

    Something is resetting it...probably ONVIF...try this... The DB just goes to AP mode (Ad-Hoc mode). Log in to it in client mode. (use original configuration password) You should be seeing the AP SSID. You do not need to use your phone to fix this as you will see the SSID from any computer on...

    Can you foresee an automation that can show the front door camera on my Google nest hub using onvif/door bell button press and home assistant(ha onvif)? Probably sometime soon. You could push the DB video to a touchscreen running HA in the browser via ONVIF or MQTT event. Here many many years...

    Whatever you decide to do first thing is to have admin access to the device and utilize the Hikvision Batch configuration program.
