Pretty sure that number is hard coded into each modem and cannot be changed by consumers.

So IDK if anyone else had this issue, but I couldn't get my cameras to respond to API commands and it was because I had turned off CGI in Network > Basic Settings. I did firmware upgrades and factory resets and was reconfiguring everything and I guess absent mindedly turned CGI off. No idea...

I have a handful of Dahua and Hikvision cams that have been running five-seven years, 24/7, in the Alabama heat with zero failures. One has even spent two summers in an attic space where it gets up to 130℉. Edit: Forgot to say how many years they have been running 24/7.

Well if that's the case then it really doesn't matter. Thanks for the info!

Interesting. Looks like that is using ONVIF events for triggering. Wonder if there is any timing difference between ONVIF and 433.

Anyone snooped the 433mhz transmissions on this device? I saw that antenna mentioned in the FCC docs. I run a SDR into homeassistant to use all sorts of 433mhz sensors. If this thing uses 433mhz to activate the interior doorbell then it could be used in homeassistant for all sorts of automation.

My PTZ camera has the option to get a return-to-home timer in the camera's internal settings. You could try the "On reset" from the triggering camera is shown with the "On Alert"

My Side Driveway cam sends the alert to my BY_PTZ when the AI detects a person.

I have mine set up to move the camera from the alert tab and not the trigger tab. It is done from the triggering camera settings, not the PTZ camera setting. That way on AI confirmed alerts trigger the PTZ to move. If you need more help let me know and I can post screenshots.

Are you utilizing substreams? What is the resolution and FPS of the cameras? Are you direct to disk? Saying you are using Ryzen is great, but we need more details in order to truly understand BI performance on Ryzen.

Can you access other services and computers while connected to the VPN? Have you tried to ping the PC from your phone with the VPN connected? I have OpenVPN set to just run everything on my phone through the VPN. If you edit the VPN Config (the pencil icon next to the Profile), go to routing...

Use both. VPN into the network then use the phone app to access BI. This increases network security by reducing holes in your network. You aren't relying on port forwarding and the BI webserver for security, but the VPN software. Not knocking Ken, but a lot more security focused eyes are on the...

I would just like to add that, while the Deepstacks AI is miles ahead of your basic motion detection set-up it is not infallible and can absolutely miss events. 24/7 recording is still recommended vs motion (or AI) based recording. I don't think that is going to change for a long time. AI will...

ESPhome on arduinos dumping into home assistant is a super easy way to get something up and running. Hardest part for me was finding a good guide to walk a noob through putting the ESPhome package on the nodemcu's.

As opposed to sitting on the curb drinking a beer? I really don't see how one is much worse than the other.
