I would like to hear recommendations for a small X86-based PC that is passively cooled and can run MediaMTX (that is, an RTSP server/proxy GitHub - bluenviron/mediamtx: Ready-to-use RTSP / RTMP / LL-HLS / WebRTC media server and media proxy that allows to read, publish and proxy video and audio...

Thanks for the tip! Looks like the CPU usage is 25-60% if the IVS is on and the bitrate is 6144 kbit/s with the full resolution (I do not know how to manually update the value in Home Assistant so the measurement frequency is low).

So far it has worked pretty well. It boots from an external SSD, which acts also as the / mounting point. Besides these few times of corrupted DAV recordings, it works like a charm (I think the issue is not because of the RPi 4B itself). I use WireGuard to access the NFS mount remotely to view...

I am using PoE. Unfortunately, I did not anticipate that I would need a multi-port PoE switch so I have a single-port PoE injector at the moment. I also wonder if people use TCP or UDP along with RTSP (I use always TCP).

@wittaj @looney2ns Would it suffice if I purchased an unmanaged switch (like TL-SG105) and plug in the camera, my NAS server, and the router on the switch? As I understood, the camera data would go through the switch to the NAS, but I could still be able to log in to the camera and view the...

Actually, I do not have a dedicated switch. The data goes through my home router, but as I said, there is virtually no other traffic than the camera data. But maybe a direct connection would make sense. I was thinking of a dedicated switch at some point to save camera data 24/7 to an HDD but...

Saving to an internal microSD card works flawlessly, the issues sometimes appear when the video footage is saved on an FTP/NFS server.

So far, I have used my T5442 to save the video events on the inserted microSD card. I would like to use NFS or FTP to save the videos on another device to view and back up the material more easily. However, using either NFS or FTP results in corrupted DAV files. There are block artifacts present...

The latest firmware has greatly reduced the false alarms. The camera does not trigger false IVS events at all during snowfall.

I upgraded the camera, everything seems to work fine. Time will tell, whether the number of the false alarms decreases. In the firmware version V2.840.15OG00D.0.R, Build Date: 2022-08-18, how do Global IVS sensitivity and IVS Rule sensitivity play together?

I use Shutter Priority at around 15 ms maximum exposure. I am very happy with the image and video quality at the moment. Motion Detection and Smart Motion Detection are both disabled, and the Anti-DIstrub feature is enabled in the IVS Global Setup (IVS is turned on for humans and vehicles). If...

I bought a varifocal PC-T5442T-ZE turret camera from Andy in July (the box says it is manufactured in November 2021), and it has the following firmware: System Version V2.820.15OG004.0.R, Build Date: 2021-07-29 WEB Version V3.2.1.1082162 ONVIF Version 20.06(V2.9.0.979397) Algorithm Version...

By the way, should the event log (on the Alarm page) be stored permanently? If I monitor the Alarm tab and log out, the events are gone when I login back. Hence, I can only view the events triggered during the active browser session. EDIT: Can the web interface login timeout be disabled?

Another issue appeared. For my surveillance scenario, intrusion detection works extremely well for humans, and I use both Appears and Crosses with Enters&Exists option to detect bypassers. Motor vehicles is a more complicated case. I would like to record all the vehicles that come to an area...

Hmm, I guess you are right. This also reduces tge risk of removing relevant recordings :)
