    NVR4108-4KS Recordings Paused by Thieves

    Negative and negative.... RADIUS is just accounting/auth, the transport is selectable (tunnel), you don't have to use MD5 and in fact, it is only used these days within an existent TLS tunnel between the client and the server.... so it's moot, because you have to break the encapsulation (TLS)...

    My 5231R-ZE keeps port forwarding itself?

    NAT-T is NAT traversal. uPNP's purpose is blasting holes through firewalls... if you leave it enabled, and especially without ACLs, anything in the network can open anything in your router. And as a note: multicast UDP can also jump through network hops (check the TTL section here: Multicast...

    NodeJS Module: node-dahua-api

    I will test that tomorrow, buddy. Nice! We just installed a Dahua A46 as a baby monitor and it replaced a hacked Xiaomi Dafang running Dafang Hacks with the MQTT motion detection alerts... so I need something similar.

    My 5231R-ZE keeps port forwarding itself?

    Definitely do not use UPNP... disable it everywhere you can, but most importantly in your egress/internet-facing router. You can get away with ACL UPNP in some cases, but that should be restricted to media-only VLANs (ex. gaming consoles) and together with static ARP and other measures in...

    NodeJS Module: node-dahua-api

    Did Nayr leave the forum? :( I'm looking into getting both motion and IVS into MQTT messages for some of my cameras...

    Dahua IPC-A46P: Ethernet over WiFi

    I'm trying to get it back to work. I can get WiFi to associate and link via LeChange, but the moment I connect the ethernet cable, it loses connectivity. There is still a blue ring, and if I remove the WLAN/turn it off with the Unifi controller, it remains on so as long as the cable is...

    Dahua IPC-A46P: Ethernet over WiFi

    Hi! I bought this one with the intention of using it as a babycam. I found out through one of the threads about this model that they yanked the web interface, which is ridiculous.... and that the latest firmware ruined the possibility of modifying it to include the missing partition. Now I...

    Opinions on some camera models and AliExpress sellers

    I would not work as an attorney for a million bucks. Earning pretty good money as an engineer solving better problems and not having to deal with human scum everyday = hard to beat. But, as a one time thing, if you pay all my bills, and vandalism-related repair fees (or anything else directly...

    Opinions on some camera models and AliExpress sellers

    Offtopic and I think we should keep endorsements to specific threads, but: VAT is still relatively sane here, though already high at ~19-21%. The real rip off is the 20-60 EUR (or more) the private companies charge you for doing the customs paperwork for you (which is a five minute job for me...

    Opinions on some camera models and AliExpress sellers

    Andy, what do you think of the models I listed and my requirements/needs? Would you pick a different set of cameras?

    Opinions on some camera models and AliExpress sellers

    I will be fair and say that a lot of the issues can be chalked up to language barrier problems... but I also have to say that you must be really careful before deciding on a purchase with anyone on AliExpress, but even local retail shops/resellers seem dodgy: I found some models, wildly...

    Opinions on some camera models and AliExpress sellers

    14 days should be fine. I messaged you on Ali, Jimbu also uses DHL, though they are infamous around here for their customs handling fees (their own, not the base tax).

    Peephole camera with WiFi and ONVIF

    Hi, Just found about this website after reading on the IP camera modules/PCBs with motorized lenses being sold through Aliexpress (any comments for that will be very welcome, I also need a hidden camera for a hamradio remote station). I'm looking for a replacement for our peephole camera...
