    Notes from the Swamp

    Home Assistant paired with a Shelly Plus 1 allows for endless possibilities. I’m sure there’s a 3-axis gyro sensor that could be attached to the dock to sense movement. May not be able to catch minor hits without false alarms from wind but I bet it doesn’t shake like that during most storms

    Openvpn, Blue iris and VPNbook , is this correct?

    Set up WireGuard on the device with no DNS server and Allowed IPs set to the NVR IP address/32, (x.x.x.x/32). All other web traffic will be routed as normal.

    I believe most peoples cameras provide answers to questions, yours on the other hand provide more questions than answers
