    I don't like to add stuff to the underlying operating system. Everything is kept in separate isolated docker containers so nothing interferes with anything else. Since it's in a docker my docker operating system is the same as the developers so it will work exactly the same. It's easy to...

    NVR4208-8P-4KS2 versus NVR5208-8P

    NVR4208-8P-4KS2 versus NVR5208-8P

    CameraEvents Service - Dahua Events to mqtt

    It's working. I haven't played around with all the events yet, so I'm not sure what's supported by the docker. Can the docker send different mqtt messages for different events so I can have a sensor for face detection in home assistant as well as for motion?
