    Alternative to ZeroTier?

    I have a few properties that we all use for remote viewing, we dont even need to record. So it is really nice to use the BI App on phones since it is so easy to swap between servers. DMSS while not as good as BI does indeed work great. BUT each property has multiple cameras with a Hikvision in...

    Alternative to ZeroTier?

    I like this. A lot. Would be easy. But I have friends who also like to log in and view the wildlife cameras on their phones. Not sure how this would be possible.

    Alternative to ZeroTier?

    I am using ZeroTier on Starlink's CGNAT. It works occasionally, but not always. Often having to toggle zerotier on and off to log in. But many times it just says retrying and doesnt log in. The bigger issue is how zerotier throttles my speed. On DMSS PTZ movements are fast and streaming is...

    DS-2TD4166 Thermal PTZ Day/Night

    I have 5 of these cameras. Which are quite amazing with dual cameras both 640 Thermal and 2MP color. On one of the camera the Day/Night mode is switching from Auto to Day about every other day for no reason. For the life of me I can figure out why. All 5 cameras have the same firmware. Any...

    Review-EmpireTech 8MP 45x PTZ SD8C845FG-HNF

    I would love to have the API Command for this to turn on and off the manual IR. I can do this with other Dahua cams changing from ZoomPrio to Manual settings etc. Works amazing with the laser camera. But this has so many light settings Im unsure of the API

    Help with Alarm I/O Wires

    Yes...this is what I considered. Thank you. But I will have to test. Because your first version could also be right. As it appears they can sometimes be wired to have 2 switches. I guess front door & back door, haha. So effectively the green or the yellow may work the same, but just by using one...

So to be clear I don’t want to use alarm out and alarm com connected to yellow and green? And just red black to 12v source? I...

    CPU ideas for strictly solar offgrid use (Low Power)

    Damn. Haha. Now this is back in contention. I have seen info of NUCs under minimal load using 15 watts all the way up to 150watts! If I can keep this under 35. I’d be golden. I can go into bios and turn some stuff off too like wifi. Worth a look at.
