    Stuck trying to select cameras for someone else

    I think an NVR is more secure than a VPN which are easily hacked. The thing people don't do what they should is regenerate the certificates in the NVR and cameras before connecting it to the internet. That is the only way I ever encountered someone hacking a NVR/camera system and was hired to...

    Question Regarding HDD Temps in PC Desktop

    The WD Purple drives are temperature stable, as I have put them in Hikvision's NVRs and put them in unconditioned storage sheds and they ran uninterrupted for years. I tried a Seagate one in one once it lasted a week.

    Question Regarding HDD Temps in PC Desktop

    In heavy use they will run as high as 70C. Its on their datasheet. They typically will give a 20C rise in case temperature in a normal case.

    Stuck trying to select cameras for someone else

    going the NVR route and using its remote access would be better than making vpn on a network that you will be tasked to fix after someone hacks it or it malfunctions.

    Question Regarding HDD Temps in PC Desktop

    7200 rpm drives run at 120-150F and I wouldn't attempt running them in a case built like that. I would suggest getting a mid or full tower case and transplanting the computer into it, or get a mini tower like a Thermaltake Core V21 and attach it to the bottom of the existing case and run the...

    Will Dahua/Hikvision etc. make a 180 degree camera with IR?

    The dual camera camera types still have the flaws of the seam in the middle. The best 180 degree cam I find to use is a fisheye. Like this Hikvision camera: DS-2CD6365G0E-I

    High traffic usage by NVR 4432 Dahua when Video Detection is enabled.

    NVRs, unless they have incorporated outbound compression, use typically 150-300Mbps on remote viewing from the network with software. Usually the web interface on the NVR is about 10% of this.

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    But lets go to a meeting 12 years ago. where this chapter really began: This is where the mass murderers justified their bioterrorism in a somewhat controlled public view.

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    You just don't understand how all of it works. Even though I know who and everything else, it doesn't matter to them because the others have to find out for themselves. If they are totally blocked, then I will initiate other things. Because they took my job away from me and gave it to Fauci, and...

    WiFi jammers reportedly being used by South American criminal gangs in their burglaries

    remember those cell boosters? They have a tendency to jam alarm panels. That is why you supposed to set up two different types of communications on an alarm panel.

    I wouldn't do any 'virtual tunneling' I'm just wondering if leasing an IP address, then splitting the WAN so your BI machine is on a static while your router and existing network stays DHCP WAN with its own IP would be more cost effective than paying no-ip for their services. Plus that would...

    Unfortunately its a special type for VPN only and its still a type of self signed system, but at least you do have control over the revocations, but they already got into the system by then. The difference is web browsers would have the CA address because its a known 'public trust server' so...

    New to CCTV - Can you give me an honest opinion on my plan please ?

    NVR with a UPs would be able to serve this. But with a computer trying to beat that setup as far as up time, I would recommend an inexpensive laptop with a Raid enclosure + UPS. I run both a NVR and Blue iris as a redundant system on two 1500W UPS (one each) and the NVR runs 12 hrs with the UPS...

    Installing larger than recommended HDD in computers?

    I buy drives from reputable sources like newegg because amazon is not a computer retail business and more of an internet 'flea market'

    Installing larger than recommended HDD in computers?

    No real issues, but I wouldn't use a 5400 rpm hard drive as the system drive and use the fastest type possible (M.2). The hardware specs of maximum capacity was published way before the drives came out and there is ways to make bigger drives work.

    DHCP or static?

    devices like printers, NAS, cameras I will static but I keep my cameras off my internet network. I run a cheap wieless router for my doorbell cam in access point mode connected to a camera input on the NVR. That away I can run wireless into the NVR without the cameras being on the regular home...

    Building separate networks for home use

    Splitting WAN isn't a big deal as its done often in certain business data solutions. The question you will have to ask the ISP is if you can run a dhcp IP with a purchased IP because some of those systems use separate DNS servers (common for PPoe IP systems). The signal path is simple. All you...

    Setting up VPN/VLAN and Dual NIC

    shouldn't have to. Wan/Lan ports on those routers is a configurable port where its either a LAN port behind the firewall or a WAN port that is an outside connection with its own firewall as a redundant WAN connection .

    Man With Mask / RFID Cloning?

    Well when me and my committee I was with ran pandemic response for the US we tried on two occasions to ban that mask entirely in the US because we tested and found out it can never be used as any form of biological protection. The last time OSHA deemed it not a protection device and revised...

    High traffic usage by NVR 4432 Dahua when Video Detection is enabled.

    Because the computer is the media server for the system, instead of it being a piece of software logging into a NVR/media server to view it. If you are using the computer to record, then you should be running two ethernet interfaces, one for the cam network and the other for the...

    Dahua NVR 5216, how to keep it logged out of admin?

    https:// or http://

    I wouldn't advise http on things the user enters information. Nor expose it and would insert a redirect command in .htaccess so if someone went there by accident, they would be redirected to the https connection.

    https:// or http://

    Also, port 8080 should (ideally) only be exposed on the network (unless you are already running something on port 80 on the outside connection. Then I would have my name server set up as www.mywebsite.com on my port 80 server and security_cams.mywebsite.com point to 8080. For example)

    Just briefly looking at this, the certificate is invalid for public connections since "." is local host so its only going to be local or .local traffic allowed with the cert. So I would try unplugging the computer's network connection, generate the Stunnel cert with the dyn dns web address...
