    NVRs & ONVIF

    This little NVR doesn't seem to do what I need. It's an NVR3108. It scans my network and finds my ONVIF sources, but it doesn't seem to connect correctly. The Grandstream cameras are all ONVIF v2.02. Could that be a problem? The HD H264 encoder is ONVIF v2.2. How does your NVR allow manual...

    Wifi Doorbell

    IMHO, WiFi is not suitable for a fixed installation involving streaming media. Around here I pull Ethernet to a location if it's possible to connect a device that way. WiFi is only for mobile devices. After my Doorbot/Ring debacle I installed an Algo Solutions SIP doorphone. No video, but it...

    NVRs & ONVIF

    I purchased a Grandstream NVR (GVR3552.) They claim that it's ONVIF compliant, but it works well enough with Grandstream cameras, which I already had on-hand. All is well. Then I needed to add a different kind of source to the installation. It's the output of a device that's presented as a...

    SSD HDs in NVR

    I have a small NVR appliance with an SSD installed. It's been working fine for a few weeks. My reason for the SSD is environmental. The NVR is in a weather-tight box located in a field. It's subject to considerable temperature variation. I thought the SSD would be better able to cope with the...
