Sounds like a cool project, I had similar ideas but never committed time to it. Take a look at this, might be useful. https://pimylifeup.com/raspberrypi-hdmi-cec/ I've started playing with node red, with the above info might be achievable.

Unlikely but I'm wondering if the wrong torx was supplied?. There are 2 types, the anti-tamper tool has a small dimple in the centre.

Sure you haven't mixed up your tools?. Those things shouldn't slip at all. You may need a use a security torx rather than a standard torx.

I didn't think they were related.

What NVR do you have and where do the cameras connect to ?. Do the cameras go to the POE switch or directly to the NVR?, Either way you need to verify internet connectivity. Place a PC on that connection and try browsing the web. Ensure your NVR has DNS configured.

Where does this go?. To the draytek?. Enable DHCP on this interface on the nvr and see how you go

No, ZT requires a client on each end point.

You may have an IP address conflict. What is the static IP and what is the dhcp scope?

What browser are you using?. Have you tried clearing the cache?

During daylight, when image is correctly focused, set focus to MANUAL. The focus should be stable enough for both day and night.

I'm pretty sure cameras made specifically for mobile purposes do not have a mechanical IR cut filter. Using standard type cameras may result in early failure of that part due to vibration.

Thanks for your reply, l re-checked my email and the Netgate web site (with optimism) but it's EOL. My plan however is to continue using it. From the email "This is due to FreeBSD, the underlying operating system for pfSense Plus software, no longer supporting 32-bit platforms like the Netgate...

My NetGate pfsense SG-3100 has been rock solid for last 5 years but NetGate advised this week that it's end of life. Their recommended replacement (2100) is a step down in performance and current exchange rate make me question where to go !!! :confused:

Aussie lingo/spelling is missing. People next door to me are my neighbours.

Nice features, thanks !

I was going to suggest ZeroTier, but how would you run it on an NVR?. Is there a Windows box on the network ?. I know some amount of outgoing requests to ZeroTier are required, but 2G wow! DDNS requires some kind of client to update the DDNS server. Most routers have a built in client for the...

Well you're probably 80% there. You'll likely need to create an action based on a rule. Check the Milestone forums, I'm sure there is more documentation there.

What version of XProtect are you running?. I'm pretty sure you need either Expert or Corporate. Search for the Product Comparison chart to compare functionality.

How long before manufacturers include a GPS receiver in their cameras?. Whether installed as a feature or secretly, images may divulge their exact location embedded in exif data. If a current cctv system was hacked, it's likely difficult to identify it's location. Inclusion of GPS hardware...

IP addresses are the easy part. Each camera has a unique burnt in MAC address, you'd need to somehow spoof that, ie not easily done.

I had a similar idea, to do that with a fisheye camera. Wonder what it would look like. Given that I live in a big city with associated light pollution, I never bothered :).

I'd add more lighting, white and IR, add SD cards to each camera.

Don't you guys in Cuba drive on the right hand side ? I'm confused !

This query has come up here before. I don't quite understand why you'd need a Vlan ID setting on a camera. If you're using Vlans then I would expect the Vlan(s) to be configured on the switch. All devices connected to ports assigned to a particular Vlan will inherently belong to that Vlan with...

My take is it just means keeping the traffic separated, how it's done is debatable. It can be done using Vlans on existing switches (IT department can allocate some ports across switches if they are POE capable), or an easier way is to have unmanaged switches used exclusively for POE/CCTV. In...

Cameras were distributed across multiple switches but ultimately, they aggregated via fiber to a single switch and to multiple recorders. Teaming can also be set up on the server(s), I didn't need do that.

I disagree, A gigabit network will be ok. I've setup 150 camera networks with no 10Gb switches. For high performance storage, RAID 10 can be used. To optimize the network simply have all cameras dedicated to a single NIC on the server, use a different NIC for the business network, similar to how...

Above solution is messy because you have double NATing. I don't know if this idea will work but may be worth investigating - See if the owner's router has a DMZ port. You can connect your router to that and that may effectively give your router internet connectivity on your WAN interface. It...

You guys are welcome, as long as you behave :D

We don't want them here either ;). Australia is returning to sender.
