    Video Surveillance: Multi-Location Live View (iOS/Android): How to Bypass the WireGuard Bottleneck Without Switching Profiles?

    What about hub-and-spoke topology from each of the UCGs to a central location, and then the users device establishes a tunnel to that one central location and can therefore route to all of your sites to via the one tunnel?

    RF Detector?

    Exceedingly odd. Do you have any cameras covering near your NVR as mentioned? The reason I asked about PoE - if the cams were connected to a switch, you could get a cheap hub (or switch port mirror, even better), and mirror the port the NVR is on. Run a Wireshark trace on it, filter heavily (So...

    RF Detector?

    I think the "cannot delete reserved group" with "admin" and "user" groups is quite normal. Just sloppy phrasing by Dahua. Have any actual users appeared, and if so, what are they called exactly? I have never heard of covert before. I wonder if it could be to do with the function where a live...

    Is my Dahua DVR being hacked?

    Don't want to scare you any more than needed, but there is no way I would allow this on my network. Isolated VLAN segment with firewall rules, no P2P, yes, but not just connected haphazardly... Many seem to think Dahuas current P2P is fine. I am not saying they are wrong but I prefer to roll...

    Is my Dahua DVR being hacked?

    Those user names certainly sound like something odd is going on. How it the DVR Internet connected? No port forwarding and UPnP is a good start, but P2P can have issues too...

    RF Detector?

    Keep us updated with your findings. Would be intrigued to see some photos of the meter readings!

    Dahua DHI-NVR5464-4KS2 load balance

    And yes, what's your bandwidth per camera? 46 * 10Mbps is only 460Mbps, which is well within the capability of a single 1Gbit port. What is the incoming capacity rating of your specific NVR?

    Dahua DHI-NVR5464-4KS2 load balance

    What type of load balancing do the Dahua NVRs expect? It could be expecting something like LACP link aggregation which you may not have setup?

    Is Blue Iris worth pursuing for my situation, or am I pushing it beyond its practical comfort zone?

    I am interested to hear if you do try this. I don't have experience comparing VM vs Physical BI, I personally think that with the right setup, virtualization in itself should not inherantly cause BI issues. But, I am open to being corrected! What issues are you having specifically? One thing I...

    Is Blue Iris worth pursuing for my situation, or am I pushing it beyond its practical comfort zone?

    Certainly look at those substreams. This is interesting to me. I am very unfamiliar with clones, but it sounds like with the correct setup, the clones can share a decoder, preventing 2x'ing the workload just by cloning a camera? Or am I inferring wrong? I am not disagreeing at all, and you...

    Is Blue Iris worth pursuing for my situation, or am I pushing it beyond its practical comfort zone?

    Fine, OK. My OS is Server 2022, and my hypervisor Qemu, but I shouldn't think it makes all that much difference. Apologies if any of this sounds daft, or if I am pointing out anything you already spent ages thinking about. These are just my very first observations. 1. I have never personally...

    Is Blue Iris worth pursuing for my situation, or am I pushing it beyond its practical comfort zone?

    I run Blue Iris in a Windows VM and haven't had issues. I have a similar amount of cameras to you I think, but probably less resolution on average and a bit less AI. But then my server does not have a GPU. It would be interesting if you could share what your 'Total MP/s' value is from the...

    Mail theft revisited 2020 long version ...for those who may not know

    Interesting. Currently I always record main + sub continuously. Storage requirements are heavy, but I always imagine how much I would kick myself if was recording sub + main on trigger, something happened, and the one shot I really needs somehow fell just outside the trigger range. No doubt...

    Finding a used 4 or 8 channel NVR on the cheap

    Not really an answer to your exact question, but: wee bit of Cat6 or even fibre between the house and shed, and then connect the shed cameras into the house system (BI / NVR / whatever it is)?

    Mail theft revisited 2020 long version ...for those who may not know

    To get this 100% clear - are you: A) Recording BOTH the substream AND the mainstream 24x7 Or B) 'running' both streams constantly, E.G pulling them into BI, but recording ONLY susbream 24x7, and the main on trigger? Yes, unless you are recording mainstream 24x7 anyway, in which case the...
