Hi I recently bought and setup my new Hikvision NVR and IP cameras: NVR - DS-7616NI-M2/16P IP cameras - x3 DS-2CD2347G2H-LIU and x1 DS-2DE4A225IWG-E PTZ I was wondering what suggestions you guys have to make sure that my NVR & cameras are secure and not vulnerable to hacking or 'phoning...

I don’t have any experience with any NVR other than BI and Reolink. I would like to hear your opinions on what NVR Camera setup would be a solid option for me to install for a local small business that covers most bases. Prefer that the UI for the customer is very simple and direct, but offers a...

I'm sorry If this has been asked a million times before, my memory is not great due to a disability its the medication that causes the issues for a spinal degenerative issue so any help would be great. I saw recent a CVE about the new variant of the Mirai botnet being aware my NVR was not...

Hi guys, I purchased an outdoor cam 6 months ago on Amazon "5MP PTZ Security Camera Outdoor, CKK 5MP Wireless Pan Tilt Zoom (4xDigital) IP Camera with 64GB SD Card Human Detection, 2 Way Audio, Color Night Vision, Floodlight & Siren Alarm". This camera is now no longer available. My UDM Pro...

Ok I don’t know if this is the correct place to post. I moved to Toms River nj and there are 4 security cameras like this. I was wondering, is there a way to make use of these ? No idea how the previous owners connected.

When we are away I usually use OpenVPN to get into our network and look at the cameras via BlueIris. My wife doesn't like that and she wants an app to access multiple indoor cameras and that allows her to PTZ the cams and have 2-way audio "communication" (with the dog). What might complicate...

i've been searching for awhile and so far i think Amcrest TB2886EW-AI is the best. I have a bunch of Ring products but looking to add another NVR System. Budget: about 350$ per camera. (Need 4 cameras) can be a bit higher. NVR needed separately. Usage: for a ~1500 sq/ft house. Single or 2...

I'm just starting to hear more about this vulnerability. Supposedly it can infiltrate any computer system in the world and has the potential to shut down the internet.

Hi all, Long time lurker. Finally made an account. I am building a 2 story home and would like to install some perimeter cams. I was thinking of using a synology box (like DVA3221) to record low frame rate streams, and upon person detection (using its AI), record high frame rate streams for...

Hi all, I've been on this search for answers & I can't seem to get any on other sites. So I'll be living in a converted travel van that I've built. My goal is to install a dash camera, a rear view camera for back up that ALSO serves as a rear "dash cam", & two undermounted side mirror cameras...

I have a Imou Ranger 2 camera. It works correctly with its own Android app. The camera does not use IP Forwarding (have uPNP disabled). I don't know how the app communicates to my home network. Does it bounce off AWS or some other Chinese server? I have a OpenVPN server. Can someone explain...

I've been looking at some Dahua and Hikvision products on their alarm systems. Are the wireless systems good? Obviously in terms of installation the wireless would be better, however would the wireless be of interference with other wireless devices in the home causing problems? Router...

Hello everyone, My father's gas station was broken into the other night- Someone rammed their truck into the front door and attempted to steal the ATM machine. Unfortunately, our current security cameras were too poor of quality to see what the thief looked like or the fine details of their...

Yesterday I saw a bunch of activity from Australia-based IP addresses in my router system log. Today I’m seeing addresses from the Russian Federation. They seem to be failed attempts to access OpenVPN. Is my assumption correct, and, if so, is this something to be concerned about? Are there...

I'm in the process of getting BI set up -- I've been going at it with disparate cameras and using Vera to view them. Now that I have BI installed, it's nice to have a centralized repository. I can point the Vera to the BI server and get integration that way. However, it seems that in order to...

Hi guys, A few years ago my dad had a questionable guy install an "HD" system, Im not happy with the resolution/quality of this system, keeps malfunctioning and can't identify faces and license plates at 50 feet away which is how far the street is from my front door.. I want to replace this...
