    Basic cam info without logging in?

    I'm certain I've seen it on this forum before, but can't find it: Is there a way to grab the camera info (model, s/n, fw version, etc.) from the web API (or any other easy way) without logging in? I thought there was a URL that showed all that without having to authenticate, but I can't find...

    Church system dilemma

    It's a perpetual (one-time) license, and it CAN be migrated from one NAS unit to another if you have to replace your hardware for some reason. Each NAS also comes with I think 2 licenses included, so you can play with the product before you buy more licenses (the 2 built-in licenses can't be...

    Best *cheap* alternative to Reolink RLC-520?

    So, I made what might have been a mistake, and bought 8 Reolink RLC-520s on Amazon today. At $38/ea, they just kind of screamed "buy me!" so I did. And then I started reading more about them... My use case is kind of an easy one - I have a 12 y/o who likes to take things that aren't his from...
