    User-friendly NVR and remote viewing?

    Remote access is on their cloud. That's a no-go. (If on my cloud, maybe.) Also, "Authenticate via OIDC: You will be redirected to an authentication page where you need to log in using your OIDC provider (currently only Google is supported)." - anything that involves the google/alphabet...

    User-friendly NVR and remote viewing?

    We have the newer xxx.AI NVR from Empiretech. We're using a variety of cameras, some Reolinks, some from Empiretech, Dahua, etc. The plan is to use a browser on a phone, via RustDesk (or similar - sandboxed by Netguard), that functions, essentially, as a terminal on the home network...

    EmpireTech NVR8CH-8P-2AI - Setup Questions

    It is, very sadly, only functional in a MS version of windows. I only use Linux (and don't need the added complexity of the WINE interpreter to try to run such an app). Someone must have tried a Raspberry Pi to log in and display the NVR GUI. @EMPIRETECANDY EDIT: If they can do this then they...

    EmpireTech NVR8CH-8P-2AI - Setup Questions

    A related question - is there any reason that I can't use a Raspberry Pi to log into the gui of the NVR to display the Live feed(s) on a large monitor? (I want to be able to control the NVR and keep the images displayed. The only problem I'm thinking of is the video chip driving the 40" display.)

    Ooops, I thought that the 3x factory reset solved the problem, but just noticed it had timed out ... it was up for many hours this time. Note: I didn't put a zero in System "Logout Time" field this time. (Default is 10.) The next adventure will be to sort out zooming the Loryta Starlight...

    Log, Manager, and System Info. Under System Info there's a Manager Subfolder - with Update, Maintenance, Import/Export, Default, Advanced Maintenance, and Network Detection. Ha! Found it. Buried under Default is Factory Default.

    EmpireTech NVR8CH-8P-2AI - Setup Questions

    I did a search in the manual and no mention of a factory reset from the web gui. I also didn't find one after jumping around on the web gui. What am I not noticing, please?

    It leaves the last moment of feeds displayed - so, if you don't notice that things aren't moving, or it's night vs day - you don't even know it's logged itself out and is no longer actively streaming the camera feeds. Should I try UPDATE on the Device Info pop-up window - or is it already the...

    Our Empiretech nvr8ch-8p-2ai NVR continues to time-out, making it nearly useless. Hardware Version: V1.0 System Version: V5.005.00000000.2.R Build Date: 2024-08-30 I can't be constantly logging back in - especially remotely. There must be a solution to this ... @EMPIRETECANDY

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    The NVR is ONVIF-compliant. I have everything checked: RTMP, HTTP, HTTPS, RTSP, ONVIF - might that cause any problems? It's set to AutoDNS by default. I set it to StaticDNS - same settings as the NVR. Does that sound correct? Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: set to the same as to router - but...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Might I need a different firmware to get my Reolink Doorbell cam to play nicely with the Empiretech NVR8CH-8P-2AI NVR? Mine is a wifi model but I have it wired & am using an external power supply. (I interrupted the POE wires to accomplish that.) The NVR recognizes the doorbell cam but no...

    That's what I think RustDesk will do - it's like AnyDesk and NoMachine. It's supposed to work on pretty much any OS (I need Android and Linux compatability).

    EmpireTech NVR8CH-8P-2AI - Setup Questions

    I'm, apparently, being unclear. I have no problem at all on my two Linux laptops. I have an Android phone from which I want to access the NVR. From what I've read the provided NVR app may create some security flaws & I don't like apps in general. I get that something like RustDesk is an app...

    On 2 different laptops, both connnected to HDMI external monitors, it's timing out. Both are using the very common Firefox browser (in Linux). It's a real nuisance. @EMPIRETECANDY

    EmpireTech NVR8CH-8P-2AI - Setup Questions

    Sorry, but another question. According to the setup video, setting "Logout Time" to "0" means that the Empiretech NVR GUI never disconnects - but it times-out just the same. Do I need to change something elsewhere, please?

    While I fuss with the Reolink cameras I have a different question. When I open the Empiretech GUI using the Vanadium browser on my android (actually GrapheneOS - and alternative OS) on my phone - it pops up a message: "Please click here to download and install the plug-in." Does anyone know...

    Britain is Lost

    No genuine 'conservative' has 'been in charge' of the Executive or the Legislative branch of Britain since Maggie Thatcher. Also, the problem has increased by geometric proportions as the flood of anti-West immigrants has continued. Reality 101.

    Who says that X tracks anyone? Also, if they do, how does that differ from any other social media platform ... including this one? You can't communicate much on the Internet without someone tracking you - X is hardly an outlier.

    EmpireTech NVR8CH-8P-2AI - Setup Questions

    To change a Reolink Doorbell cam to the Empiretech NVR from the old NVR (the old NVR was using DHCP) can I change the Network Setup to Static (from DHCP) and the IP address to 10.1.1.xx then save? Also, do I need to change the DNS to Static DNS from Auto DNS - or leave it on Auto? EDIT: That...
