Thanks. Downloaded and scanned the LAN. Seems all devices listed are accounted for.

I removed the camera from the cul-de-sac to see what the outcome would be (I was going to remove it anyway since this turret doesn't zoom in enough). He finally left his domicile after a week of being home 24/7.

Any event, it gave me the chance to use the PTZ (albeit from the NVR interface) to get a better look at what he put up on the post. Still hard to tell, but it looks like a shitload of IR lights. I can't zoom in far enough with this PTZ to tell what the round white device is in the middle, but it doesn't look like a camera to me. See the attached image

Unfortunately for him, I don't run B/W on this camera, so the IR lights have no effect

Gotta admit, it is kinda hilarious that he thinks he is foiling your cameras LOL

For kicks you should put it in infrared tonight so we can see what that looks like LOL

Like I said in the first sentence, I removed the camera as it wasn't what I was looking for FOV.

If his creation was working, my LPR west camera probably would have picked it up since it looks in that general direction. With all those IR LEDs, even at 1000/sec, I would have seen something

If they were cheap A$$ infrareds probably not LOL.

I went down that path trying to make my LPR better and couldn't even see a difference LOL.

Put the camera back and see how long before he puts it back up LOL

There's no point to doing so, it would be a wasted effort. Plus, his "creation" is still standing.

I have a camera there in its original location for overview, but it needs to be aligned since I replaced it with a T54IR-AS-S3 2.8mm. It probably needs a junction box and moved further towards the outside edge of the soffit as there is major IR reflection as it is. Honestly, I really don't like the 2.8mm for this location, it's really too wide of a FOV for this installation.
 
I presume UPnP should be disabled on the WAN side of the router?

You can always buy a cheap WIFI camera and plug it in anywhere to "see" for IR.

Here is a cheap one that I use:

Tapo C110

Or a cheaper 1080P if just looking for IR:

Tapo C100

Just in case I'm still having issues with intrusions after adding the router (I don't know this guy's level of skill on hacking), can I access the NVR via direct connection between computer and NVR?

I know I can access the device GUIs in this manner via the NVR GUI, but I'm curious if it's possible to use SmartPSS lite app via direct ethernet connection?
 
Are you're saying, connecting a cable from the computer directly to the NVR LAN port with both devices disconnected from your network??

Very doubtful he has hacked into your network

Yes, direct ethernet cable from laptop to NVR LAN port.

And I wouldn't underestimate this guy. He's had years of hacking experience with his next-door neighbor and God knows who else.

The fact is, he's been able to make changes to my cameras and even take 1 or 2 of them offline overnight, kind of like a playful "this is what I can do to you" move. I would bet he uses some sort of Wi-Fi repeater or signal amplifier in his truck which is parked in his front yard near the front door. He learned that one from his next-door neighbor.
 
I don’t think so but give it a try !
 
I know I'm going down a rabbit hole here, but the more I research things, the more questions I have.

I did a netstat -a -n search and noticed a crap load of established connections which I have no idea what they are. Lots of addresses with port 443 (http?) and about a dozen port 80 addresses as well as others. Are there any open ports I should be concerned about other than port 80?

I tried doing a netstat -b search but it says:

netstat -b
The requested operation requires elevation. Whatever that means. Do I need to try this from the mountains at a higher level?
 
I dont think it will work.

All you have to do is disconnect your modem, pull the ethernet coming from it to your router. Now your network is disconnected from the Interwebs.

You could also go into your router and turn on access control and deny any new connection once you see the devices that are connected now.


Connections with your browser, TV, etc will linger/display after you are done using them. Various devices on your network use 443 and connect or ping various services even when you're asleep.
I wouldnt start manually blocking stuff.
 
Sorry to dredge up this thread again. Even after installing the ASUS router, it seems my buddy has found a way into my laptop via the Wi-Fi card. My computer restarted twice today out of the blue and it wasn't because of updates, because I usually get a warning that Windows needs to restart to finish updates.

There are literally hundreds of warning and error events in the Event viewer relating to wlan, Network, device setup manager, user device registration and more. Lots of the events happened over night when I was sleeping (and the laptop was as well).

I have disabled the wi-fi card in the laptop, and I am now using ethernet connection. So, I'm going to monitor the situation over the next 24 hours

Any recommendations to prevent unknown devices/connections from the router?
