    OpenVPN question

    I have an Asus router as well with OpenVPN. When I'm home (using wifi) I can access my NVR thru the DMSS app on my phone without the need for OpenVPN. But when away from home (on cellular) that's when I flip the OpenVPN switch and tap on DMSS to access the NVR. No "block internet access"...

    Painting cameras ?

    Have you ever had any issues with the painted ones such as overheating, quirks, etc.? I like the idea of blending them in with the surrounding trim work especially here in Florida where most single story houses have eaves that are only 8.5 - 9.5 ft. high which is not enough to prevent vandal...
