    P2P isn't the same as Cloud and here is why

    I wonder how long before these manufacturers start charging monthly subscription fees for their services?. Hoover up millions of customers and then announce a fee.

    Be careful if you activate PTP on your NVR

    P2P was implemented by manufacturers to make their systems easy to set up. It was driven by marketing and sales. The benefit was to them over the end users!

    Recommend settings for encoding & image for 5mp Uniview camera in low light

    Try changing the scene type to outdoor or similar. The starlight scene is possibly trying too hard to get a bright image at the expense of image quality.

    P2P Safety & Secure?

    Just about every router under the sun would block that ip address on an outbound interface, unless there is a misconfiguration? Any manufacturer coding their device to do that appears stupid.

    Adding Old Night Owl Analog Cameras to Blue Iris through Axis P7214

    Ignore all the errors and get the encoder web interface on your network working correctly before you start on Blue iris. Your home network is likely in the 192.168.1.1-254 or 192.168.0.1-254 range and the axis encoder should be in that same range. Also try factory defaulting the encoder. By...

    Pushover Delayed Notifications

    I get my alerts in about 8-10 seconds. My cameras send the notifications directly via the PO supplied email address. Works quite well but I think some type of API configuration if it was possible directly in the camera would have been quicker. I've got some python code on a PC that sends via PO...

    P3255 Mid Span requirements

    That camera has very modest power requirements. You shouldn't need anything too powerful. Class 4 Poe is around the 15-25watt mark. A standard poe+ switch will power it ok. Are you using a non Poe switch and why are you using a midspan?. How long is the cable run?

    Help with troublesome plate night captures

    Image looks very grainy. I would definitely reduce the gain. You most likely need more IR light. Not all plates will reflect the same. I see many where people deliberately damage the coating. Which state is that plate from ?, I don't recognise the font.

    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.

    Hack required - how to unscrew screw when allan key doesn't grip

    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.

    P2P not working on Managed Network with Draytek Firewall

    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.

    Serious cctv on a work truck

    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.

    Which Router to buy in 2023? UPDATE went with OPNsense on a firewall box.

    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.

    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:

    Remote connection to NVR without static IP

    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...
