It really comes down to how much financial outlay you’re committed to. If the budget is low as it is for the vast majority of consumers the options are limited. If the budget is endless as seen in Enterprise / Government then it really comes down to how serious they are and how it will...

Based on your stated criteria you can purchase almost any consumer grade hardware that meets your budget. If security is truly your primary goal you’ll need to invest in a biometric system that is based on the WYH-WYN principle. Nobody serious uses a remote to access / control entry.

LOL - True Enough . . .

Just wanted to add some comments and offer insight as to the why?!? Almost every installation I’ve done in ancient history has included a dedicated 12 / 24 VDC power cable. The AWG was obviously dictated by the cable run, required current, and meeting the 80% power limit. Why? Because there...

If you take the time to search all of the (Best Practices) as it relates to infrastructure and network security. You would have quickly found out that port security management is one of several methods and solutions used to restrict, detect, deny, and track a physical Ethernet port from being...

OMFG - LOL!

LOL - In this day and age almost anything goes! ☹️

Baring you didn’t make a filter that applies to this email. You’ll want to insure your video security system isn’t sending out hundreds of emails per minute / hours. As that will quickly get flagged by the ISP / Email provider. As it relates to any kind of filter depending upon who your cell...

And you’re using (how many) of the best security practices called out in this thread now?!?

As called out earlier defaulting the camera to an OEM state would let you know the hardware is in a good known state. There is nothing that can make the system settings change all by itself once set other than external API / Network calls, corrupted firmware, hardware failure. It goes without...

Baring it’s not a hardware (firmware) bug. I’ll wager it’s because you have two NTP systems running causing the bounce. Simple test is to default one camera to a factory state. Doing so will ensure the camera is in a good known state. Next, set the camera to connect to NTP of your choice...

You’re just being modest as it relates to your network mad skillzzz Yo! As it relates to Dahua, why would they want to keep watching you fishing in the turtle pool???

Baring the two culprits indicated by the other members are you sure the lens / dome isn’t covered by finger grease?!? The included cloth is there for a reason in case you accidentally touch the lens or the exterior dome is dirty from the final installation. As it relates to minimizing the...

Absolutely, as it relates to tools that can scan, see, and access different subnets. This is why my initial reply stated all of the industry best practices. Because when software is the only separation measure in place you’re doomed to failure! This applies to VPN, VLAN, etc . . . When...

From personal experience I’ve seen very similar issues with other network related metrics. Have two identical PTZ with apparently the same firmware. Both units have the exact same tabs and function the same. However, the rebranded version shows no model number in SADP tool. Even worse, as I...

Random question, why do you have the two time stamps in use? Is the camera vs BI not enough or was there some outside factor that needed both to be embedded into the video?

All great and valid points which do apply to the larger (general) population. I should have qualified that my comments were targeted at the Enterprise / Government clientele. Regardless, lots of people with first hand experience and knowledge have chimed in. As such the information to reduce...

Regardless of how I feel that is - impressive!

That’s great to hear as I’m sure you’ll see the benefits now and in the long term. Safety Nancy: It goes without saying it’s important to wear the appropriate PPE. Shoes, pants, ear, glasses when and where possible. Use a hose to wet down anything that may catch fire and reduce the...

Just Awesome- LMFAO

Everyday we are closer to the depictions portrayed on Black Mirror / Terminator. ☹️

Having read this entire thread and the comments that followed. I’m left with some obvious shock and amazement that anyone who is serious about security would not be using a separate, isolated, and sandboxed computer system?!? Meaning, there is only (1) computer system in place to onboard...

Great video, but have to ask why there is no time stamp enabled on the video?!?

If everything you’ve stated in the initial post about having a 4G network. Along with a RTMP capable video camera. You need only send that RTMP video feed to YouTube. Obviously following whatever required steps to connect the camera to YouTube. It’s been a very long time doing the same but...

Possible solutions are a camera that supports RTMP streaming or extra hardware they can transcode the same and then relay the video feed to YouTube. There are OBS hardware devices which again you send the video feed to. In turn the OBS hardware relays the same to YouTube. Another old school...

My apologies, I misread your initial post as you had been using IPv6 instead of IPv4! What you stated was the SADP tool did not show any IPv6 information. Ignore my first comment as it relates to IPv6 because this would have sent you down the wrong path and endless rabbit hole. ‍♂️

It’s probably too late but would be curious as to what you observe using IPv4 vs IPv6.

You’re truly a gentleman and a scholar! I’m going to take a few days and pick some of best photos. Choose the ones that best reflect the collage and humour I’m looking for. Thank You - Sir! EDIT: I don’t know what has changed in the forum software?!? But none of my emoticons show up now???

That is an awesome picture and just relayed the same to my girlfriend. We’re going to try and find a high resolution file of the same. So we can have it blown up / framed and given to a friend who is about to open a new dental office. Awesome photo thanks for sharing!

Looking forward to reading what you observe. As noted up above its following KISS when ever possible and making small changes to see the results. Keep in mind the camera should be hard reset as a first step. Doing so insures the camera is in a default OEM state and clears any possible bad user...
