    Long outdoors netwok cable run

    Believe me, some of this when you are going into the hardware level and trying to explain it in a concise way to a general audience, its hard not to appear vague.

    Is ZoneMinder still being actively developed?

    So you are trying to consolidate viewing into one page, correct? a lot of them have send alerts via email so that theoretically can be used and have it forward into your openHAB (which looks like a raspberry pi 4) In your custom web page, you would use the <object> html tag for each camera. you...

    Is ZoneMinder still being actively developed?

    Sounds interesting, what cameras you are using? With linux, all you have to do is create an internal webpage and assemble your functional code. The bulk of these camera viewing software is web2.0 so they are not making real programs for remote viewing and using ASP.net for their programing...

    ZeroTier and Dual Nic

    Zerotier by its self 'Phones home' and OpenVPN uses self sign certificates so its suseptible to MTM attacks. Unless the NVR uses poor authentication methods, There is nothing wrong with serving a NVR on its own outside IP address with a public CA certificate. Which is the real secure method.

    Long outdoors netwok cable run

    That is because people can explain the same function in different ways and even different PSE controller IC datasheets will explain the same thing in different ways. Here is an IC that is used in 8 port POE switches: https://www.ti.com/lit/gpn/tps23881b They explain it as a "current fold back...

    Setting up VPN/VLAN and Dual NIC

    Like I said both methods are valid. The difference is one is by vlan and the other is by a bridge router. Since they want to know how to set it up without configuring any VLANs I showed them those examples.

    Setting up VPN/VLAN and Dual NIC

    Its not really a loop because the camera network is a separate static network. Its not like the BI machine has its interfaces bridged. The two common ways is using a bridging router or use managed switches at both ends with the ports divided into two vlans and a cable patched across. Either way...

    Setting up VPN/VLAN and Dual NIC

    I'm not familiar with the fiber media converter they are using, but if it has an arp/mac table its going to take up a switch/node count.

    Setting up VPN/VLAN and Dual NIC

    Actually there is a switch limit on a network segment. Its how you get around that is the real question. 3 is the hardware node limit and 7 hops on a logical spanning tree.

    Setting up VPN/VLAN and Dual NIC

    This is the preferred method of hardware port forwarding: From the ONT, in this case Cspire 10G, you inset an unmanaged switch then the existing router's wan port connects to this switch and for every outside ip address you add a new router and its WAN port to this switch. Its not going to slow...

    Setting up VPN/VLAN and Dual NIC

    All these remote connect systems (software port forwarding) from cameras, no-ip forwarding to VPNs that are using a web entry point have in their software or hardware programmed initiate a persistent connection to the web endpoint and none of them are truly hacker proof. That is why hosting the...

    Setting up VPN/VLAN and Dual NIC

    There has to be a real logical explanation to this other than a blanket statement. Because some of those cameras are 'cloud cameras' meaning they connect to a cloud server. You've seen them. They require the user to make a cloud account in order to set them up, But any hacking using this is...

    Zerotier android bug in latest update

    A lot of them are self hosted in one way or another and for just accessing a .net web app on a network, I can't see why it would be any safer (which its probably less) than hosting the BI server with a public CA and install the client certificate manually. At least the endpoint is not the...

    Setting up VPN/VLAN and Dual NIC

    I really don't see why a vlan is needed. Its just another thing to set back up after a hardware failure. Plus everything else can't communicate to the outside and the other methods I used you can implement mac filtering so only the gate controller is allowed. So what is the point of the Vlan for...

    Zerotier android bug in latest update

    Well since that works, I'll post the APK If there is a newer version other than the Nov2023 that works let me know... Because I will post it. SHA256 e59d6b50940f8d0deaa3accaee05a0a7b599f5e131bc401aeb3db78aa59b397f I'll send them an email just in case they are not aware of this IPV6 issue...

    Security camera installer reuses passwords

    I find it worse than you think. As I ran into several security companies doing the same thing over the years. I remember having to talk to one about this and suggested to them password schemes based on their account numbers. At least that would be more distinct from customer to customer instead...

    Setting up VPN/VLAN and Dual NIC

    no problem. I did notice you chiming in and it will be interesting to see what they do to get around the 3 switch limit on a network segment. Which no one here really discussed that but me.

    Hikvision Door Controller with 3rd party Readers

    A lot of those HID readers use programming cards to set modes. Which I had to do to make them work on DMP systems.

    Setting up VPN/VLAN and Dual NIC

    I'm looking forward to what they come up with. Because there are a few valid ways to do all of this, I just showed you the easier ones to maintain in case of equipment failure. Of course we can get more complicated but I don't think setting up networking redundancies is that critical compared to...

    Wi-tek WI-LTE117-O router port forward issue

    Thinking VPNs are better generically than other hosting methods is ludicrous. I think assuming they are secure by themselves is where people get into trouble. If any hosting server doesn't use public internet approved 3rd party certificates and use self signed certificates They automatically...

    Wi-tek WI-LTE117-O router port forward issue

    Complaints and negative comments w/o examples show how much this is a troll post. Attacking me on a personal level will not get you anywhere, so go have a smoke and reflect on that.

    Wi-tek WI-LTE117-O router port forward issue

    Its seems like you are trolling. The problem with the VPNs you guys suggest are not that secure because of self signed Certificates. Which DVR's problem is that besides people not changing them and someone getting a hold of the copy the DVR manufacturer has. Public CA certs applied remove all...

    Desperately need help. Switches lost or all cameras lost

    Problem is not caused by not grounding POE switches. The problem is lightning found a ground potential. Go get a small lab bench isolation transformer and use that at the shed. Even if its a two prong ac adapter, most bond the DC ground to neutral with a Y capacitor. Which is the path lightning...

    Setting up VPN/VLAN and Dual NIC

    Obviously you never had set up multiple IPs from the same ONT or cable modem. Leasing IP address is not a big deal. The only thing with ISPs is that they might upgrade the service to a business account for billing purposes. I should post how this system could be altered to have multiple IP...

    ICSee Dual Camera, but when accessed on computer using ip address with the app, only one shows up.

    you should run a mac address scanner like 'coalsoft mac scanner' from your computer to see if the second camera has a different ip address which I imagine that is the case.

    Setting up VPN/VLAN and Dual NIC

    example 2 router ip scheme IP address 10.11.13.1 Subnet mask 255.255.254.0 IP range 10.11.12.1-10.11.13.255 That's better. I don't have all of those subnet masks memorized to do all of them in my head.

    Setting up VPN/VLAN and Dual NIC

    yes that will work. Because your switch/node count is 3. The second one works just as well with a switch/node count of 2. The only thing I would have to work on is play with a network calculator because that router doesn't need to connect 2048 machines. I know it would work even though I did it...

    Setting up VPN/VLAN and Dual NIC

    Maybe I need to explain that APs can be used in reverse creating a wired network from a wifi connection. the ER605 looks like it should either live in the utility room or the house-office area before the 10 port switch. The application of this router would be called a bridging router instead of...
