What rubbish, when you can decopile firmware and use real tools to analyse network traffic the people may start to listen to IPVM.

Why do you think there is a CCTV shortage, Make American Great Again, China's responce make your own components then.

As to having a camera commissioner in the UK, man you will believe anything.
