    Can't get cameras to sync correctly with proper time all the time

    My understanding is some devices may not have an accurate oscillator, thus time will drift between updates. Temperature variation can also affect oscillator stability. This will be exaggerated if you block the devices from the Internet, preventing NTP updates. Suggestions: 1. Increase the...

    Lorex 4K Doorbell

    Welcome! Unfortunately, Lorex cameras do not support Dahua/Amcrest APIs for events or two way audio. Don’t use the Dahua plug in. Use the generic Homebridge Camera FFmpeg plugin. Video lag can be a result of a number of factors, including the performance of the host or virtualized...

    Cameras on a detached garage. How to live view from the house?

    I might have gone with different products, but be that as it may. I assume you have the cameras and NVR working together already. If so, looks like you can remotely access the NVR via its web interface to bring up camera feeds. There is not a lot of details in the NVR manual to know if it...

    Can you provide manufacturer and model of the NVR and cameras? Perhaps links to the user manual?

    Cameras on a detached garage. How to live view from the house?

    Something like this. You can put most consumer routers in bridge mode or you can buy a wifi extender that has an ethernet port to connect to the NVR. You would be able to access the NVR web interface and likely RTSP re-streams for the cameras from the NVR...

    Cameras on a detached garage. How to live view from the house?

    The camera streams would be on your local wifi SSID broadcast by the Synology RT6600 router, not via TMobile Home Internet.

    Cameras on a detached garage. How to live view from the house?

    Yes. Since you said wifi does reach the garage, all you would need is a wifi bridge in the garage that connects back to the main house provided you can locate it where the signals will reach.

    Amcrest AD410: at a loss, how to make an intercom display in my bedroom?

    There are any number of OEM and third party IP camera RTSP apps for Apple and Android. The apps I use are specific to my Elk Products M1 Gold commercial grade security panel and my Universal Devices Insteon lighting control, which include support for RTSP cameras. I’ve been doing this since...

    Lorex 4K Doorbell

    Lorex doorbell cameras are not ONVIF compliant and do not have the same API as the Dahua or Amcrest equivalents, but you should be able to connect them to a third party NVR using the RTSP protocol. There is a RTSP stream and sub-stream. It's the same URL as their NVRs Example: rtsp: /...

    New botnet malware exploits two zero-days to infect NVRs and routers

    I ran DD-WRT, then OpenWrt (formally LEDE), on consumer routers longer than I can remember. I got tired of the DD-WRT perpetual beta status, then Marvell stopped updating their proprietary drivers for the Linksys WRT series. Bottom line, OEMs have no incentive to continually update firmware...
