Which SSH client are you using? Putty (for windows) makes SSH access into my router and switches easy. It takes a minute or 5 to get the setup right and there's plenty of online help to get you through setup but once the setup is done, it's cake. The important thing is SSH access is secure. No...

I gen'd a key & enabled SSH through the web gui. You should be able to use SSH by generating a key via the CLI and enabling access. See your manual for assistance. There is a crib in the Hardening Procurve Switches pdf document, but I'm not sure that command structure is applicable for all...

I'm not sure if it is as loud as a DVR, I never used one. It is loud enough to hear it in the same room. I haven't replaced the fan yet. My primary switch (HP2530 POE+) is running great so I keep it for a backup. You can skip the web interface and access via SSH or TELNET. There's a CLI menu...

Your R7000 will do VLAN isolation if you flash it with a custom firmware. I do so with TomatoUSB by Shibby firmware which gives me enterprise-like capabilities. I've been using it for about 5-6 yrs now and love it. Good info -Tomato Firmware forum. How to -> Build Secure VLAN Networks with...

How long does a silica packet last before it's saturated? I know there are some silica products that change color with moisture content. I'd like to stay on top of the maintenance curve.

Do the Event Viewer logs show anything?

A couple of months ago I got a great deal off ebay on one as a backup PoE. For browser access I use an older FirefoxPortableESR version 24 that is LAN constrained via firewall. Browser access requires JAVA so I grabbed the 32bit JRE JPortable (64 bit reported to not play well). CLI access via...

Another consideration in your system design is storage available for the 20/20 hindsight views. 4mp will use storage media twice as fast over a 2mp cam. While storage media is getting cheaper all the time, it aggregates quickly. The 2mp cam is what I consider the best of all options available...

Blog link: Devil's Ivy: Flaw in Widely Used Third-party Code Impacts Millions This exploit exposes all ONVIF devices which use the popular gSOAP library. Axis who were initially informed of exploit, went active with notifications and firmware patches. Affected vendors should follow suit with...

The show stopper for me was when one of my working camera video feeds quit working within E+. It worked and then it didn't work. Browser & VLC interface showed functioning cam. Another pain is glacial performance which I could live with but is no joy. Running on a Win 2012 Server with 4 core / 8...

I initially installed Essential+ 2017 R2. It appeared more ambitious than Esssential 2017 R1 in features but less operational (bugs) so I rolled back. I'll give the new device pack a try. Thanks.

I want to record Dahua cams substream 2 @ 720p onto server full time but Essential only shows me substream 1. Is substream 2 possible with Essential 2017 R1?

Nayr's 1st page firmware link is a convenient firmware source. The product page firmware download is the same file as shown by hash counts. Not taking anything away form nayr's attention to detail but I would hope the product page's firmware is always current.

Anything is possible. Weapons were open carry. According to this news story the neighbors waited for home owner to arrive, gave him a weapon and he is the first person to enter and confront the bad guy. So everybody should have been within their rights except the intruder, I gaffed on hubby...
