    Router behind Router

    I've been through the VPN for noobs thread, and I think I kind of understand it. I have a second NIC enroute, and am pretty sure OpenVPN is the route I indend to go. So I need a router to host(?) Openvpn. My ISP already provides a wireless router that is the interface with the ONT(I have...

    Need help picking new cams

    Most of us set up and host a VPN like OpenVPN so that our video system isn't touching the internet via port forward or P2P. This is free and not a paid VPN. https://ipcamtalk.com/wiki/how-to-secure-your-network-don-t-get-hacked/ https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/vpn-primer-for-noobs.14601/

    Who is ShadowServer.org and why are they on my list?

    So this is confusing. I have a Reolink Video Doorbell, purchased last year. In the Reolink camera software on the PC, its configured for a static IP address 192.168.50.151. In the Android software, same thing, shows IP address 151. In the Blue Iris camera software, it shows and configures...

    IPC-HDW5842T-ZE-S3 login page "This site is not secure" message

    You have to remember we are not the intended audience of these cameras, it are professional installers installing in business situations. As such they have, or should have, their cameras isolated from everything else and using a robust VMS system to further create a disconnect. We are just...

    Alerts Question

    That is probably the problem. In addition to opening up your system to being hacked - and they don't care about your video, they use these insecure security cameras (ironic isn't it LOL) to gain access to your network for DDoS attacks or to infiltrate your network to get banking and other login...

    Camera time not synchronising

    Many thanks for you prompt response and information therein. I think I will have to look into a second NIC for the BI machine. Can a second NIC share the same unmanaged switch? With my limited knowledge of VLAN, I believe these meed to have managed switches and as there are 8 switches around...

    Camera time not synchronising

    Foscam is lower end and many of them do require internet access, so even though it is pointing to your time server, it might not actually consistently look at that, or the CPU is so poor that it cannot keep time cadence in between pings to your time server and is looking to get access to the...

    The official "WTF" thread

    Not sure where to put this but because this is, mostly, an IP camera forum and when I read it I thought "WTF", so here it is. The NVR has 4 non-POE ports, basically like a LAN switch. I read the "note" and thought "no wonder noobs are thoroughly confused when they get here". I'd like to ask the...

    How much resolution is really needed for LPR

    The concept of "chase sensor size" is as it relates to the MP/sensor ratio. A 2MP on the ideal sensor size will outperform a higher MP camera on a smaller than ideal sensor size. See this chart: While the ppm/ppf is a good tool, it is just a tool. I can tell you that any images you see...

    How much resolution is really needed for LPR

    Hey wittaj and others. I'm new here, and have been reading the forums for a couple of weeks trying to learn everything o_O Apologies for reviving an older thread but I'd like to clarify a couple of things which might also help other noobs like me. 1. You mention sensor size is more important...

    DMSS issue - I can't see the live broadcast of the CCTV at home using mobile data

    Our suggestion is to never use P2P. It is terribly insecure and also requires that your camera's have access to the internet (which is also insecure). There are a number of ways that you can access your home network while "remote". One of the most common ways is to create a self hosted VPN...

    Is somebody watching me? How can I find out?

    Firmware upgrade wont help. This thread is still relevant to understand basic concepts however using tailscale or zerotier as indicated below allow you to avoid all of this.

    Inherited a Camera System

    Unless the release notes specifically mention it fixing a problem you are experiencing, more than likely it won't fix an issue and may make the camera or NVR worse by removing functionality or worse brick it. Another thing to consider is that the same model could have different firmware for...

    Please help with Log details!

    Before you do anything, I would suggest looking at your router logs and see if you notice anything off. I would then consider factory reset of the NVR and start over (do not import config file). But even then, if they hacked in already then they have the serial number of the NVR and could just...

    Can you BI box take a 2nd network interface card (NIC)? The ideal scenario is to separate your camera network from the rest of your home LAN: https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/dual-nic-setup-on-your-blue-iris-machine.40264/ Looks like microtiks RouterOS has the OVPN support.

    RTSP viewing not accessible through Pfsense from internet

    And not to be a dick, but I'll give the standard answer of "You really shouldn't be forwarding ports on your router/firewall, but instead use a self hosted VPN service instead." When you set up and use a self hosted VPN (which is very different from the "internet VPNs" that are paid/free that...
