    Can we receive alarms/view videos remotely when camaras are not connected to the internet?

    I wondering if it’s possible to run smartPSS on a PC and use ZeroTier to remote into the nvr via DMSS app? I personally run blue iris on a PC using ZeroTier to remote into cameras. But am curious to know if you could do the same using smartPSS on a PC the same way. ?

    3D printed base for installing PFA130-E on Diamond rib steel with 6" centers.

    lol, not really. I've always wanted one and when I seen the Ender v3 on sale for $200 Canadian I decided to get one. I am also printing lots of cool toys for my 7yr son, plus some packout mods. It's never ending, Wishing I got into this years ago.

    3D printed base for installing PFA130-E on Diamond rib steel with 6" centers.

    Not as cool or complex as the dual camera mount, but figured I'd make a post on my recent 3D printing project. Seen this on a site where a professional company installed cameras on a shop. I have run into this issue myself many times installing. My solution, purchased a cheap 3D printer on...

    No big holes in siding except for the small screws for mounting. If you look close I managed to tuck the whole connector in behind the j trim. Sometimes you wont be able to do what I did, so alternative would be to use a pfa130-e junction box to hide the connector. simply remove a plastic...

    Dahua has a new water proof junction box PFA130-E / PFA130E for Turrets ( PFA137, PFA139 )

    Just purchased a 3d printer on sale last week. No expert yet, but thought I would design a spacer for mounting the box on steel wall sheeting. Most times pfa130e don’t fit between the ribs on the flat. Been a pet peeve of mine for years. If anyone wants the file, let me know. Still needs...
