The other day, turned off the car, took off my hat, and glasses, put on my mask, glasses, hat, exited and locked the car - later realized the keys and fob were in the ignition but had my second set.

Thanks yes. Years in electronic prototype labs, we used Dale metal 1% 25w 0.1 ohm resistors to measure current given digital meter voltage accuracy. Personally using ammeter selection on multimeters lead to all too many burned fuses due to my own carelessness in not putting the leads back...

Given this century's manufacturing philosophy I think it best to give it want it needs and limit it to that. I see posts about dead IR LEDs. Too high and LEDs might see too much current, use one of those splitters advertised, e.g. 4-way DC Power Y Splitter with 5.5x2.1mm Plugs might burn out...

Thanks. The connector, which likely is designed for some common IP camera power lead if one had a Y splitter, has a very narrow center pin (closer inspection shows it isn't that narrow) that at a glance looks like that which power my IP cameras. I looked at it last night and it appeared to be...

I'll eventually put an IP camera out on the chicken coop but for now I have a nearby trailcam trained on its doors. Recently a couple of birds were mauled in the coop after the hatch opened in the AM and after fixing the chickenwire bird run I found on the trailcam a large raccoon returning at...

Another minor problem with this NVR. It's recording the Series A stream when an alarm is tripped. Its scheduling is from midnight to midnight. I might retrieve the files from the ftp server anytime in the morning or early afternoon. I zip the files then condition them to play on the WDTV...

My reducing sensitivity to reduce video of spiders weaving webs or a moving leaf on a web tendril resulted in the German Shepherd appearing first well into the inner yard behind the truck and mobile home. He's at half point then bolts out of camera range. Then a year old cat I call Chaps flies...

So, I'm reading email and getting ready to condition the videos when I hear the main roo making noises that sound strange. I pop up the 4 screen monitor and see a huge German Shepherd trotting in the inner yard. I run out. I know the dog. He belongs to a neighbor who's beagle years ago...

Okay, good news. I have the SV3C Series A camera's video playing on the WDTV. I thought the problem was that the EvTevision would only record in VBR. I have two other cameras, Series HX, recording to the the RPI ftp server at a Maximum Frame Rate of 10 FPS with a Key Frame Rate of 40 and CBR...

This EvTevsion NVR is disappointing me again. The one camera it's recording, SV3C Series A which has no sdcard nor ftp capability, which I have recording with CBR in order to view with a WDTV Live box to my TV, this after conditioning with ffmpeg, won't set its recording to CBR and it VBR fails...

My 4 cameras stream but only 3 can store to an sd card or ftp the alarms and recordings out. I'm told that NVRs can't accept ftp's files from cameras unless the NVR is modified? The NVR would override settings in the cameras. Accessing the files on the NVR is a problem so for now I ftp from...

Keeping out bad actors but still having access by phone? Even if one uses a wireless router without an uplink so the NVR and cameras can communicate, if you have wireless enabled how to keep bad actors from getting in that way? Especially with the revelation of all those back doors that bad...

So, looking at the EvTevision ftp of alarms I have it set up to send to the RPI. What I'm getting on the RPI are files buried 4 directories deep with a file name ending in ].h264' Problem is that when I go to zip the contents the linux zip fails to a > prompt. Also there's an @ symbol in...

Thank you Alastair. I saved the link and files. I've wanted to get into one of these cameras and look around at their operating system. Perhaps the next rainy day.

Perhaps no ftp import is a security feature. So, this NVR isn't filling my needs. Going to retire a computer later this year. The Evtevision DVR has a rather small board, larger than an RPI but then the RPI needs a power supply. Haven't tried the codec to play h265 videos on Win10. Rolling...

So, wondering if other NVRs allow files to be uploaded rather than just exporting. Looking at Bue Iris, I see this post: "How does Blue Iris handle FTP access?" and it too appears to only have ftp export and isn't open for import. This is a disappointment as I put a brand new 2TB drive in the...

I see the db15 is for a VGA. I have activated ftp for alarms and tested. Tested works to the RPI but the port is said to only be open when transfers are taking place. Ran nmap after the test and port 21 is closed.

Okay, I'm new to NVR's. I have 4 cameras and 3 ftp their alarms to an RPI but the 4th couldn't so I bought an Evtevision NVR. And it works, the one camera without ftp capability is recording. My problem is that rather than fight with the NVR software, I have the 3 other cameras recording...

Open and looked for pads, no luck. There is a 6 pin connector of which only 1 is used for jumping power which might be the USB but that isn't going to help me I think. Perhaps Shinobi on an RPI will register as an NVR.

The camera write up on Amazon states: " If there are no NVR, just opening Cloud Service to store videos and pictures(Free for the first 30 days)". Doesn't say it can store to hard drive. Although manually clicking the record function does save a recording to the hard drive. Wonder if I open...

This Series A camera has no sd card capability. This failure to record alarms seems like it needs to first save the alarm to an sd card or USB storage device or network storage device and then copy it to the specified hard drive folder. If I disable Configuration ->Storage->General...

Have finally gotten the Series A camera displaying its output in its software. Until yesterday it would always say download plugin but that never work. I found on the web how to fix that when it occurred in foscam and the fix worked. Had to do with IE compatibility settings and adding to...

Have ordered a pair of RP SMA terminators, will see if they fit. Reverse polarity, neat twist.

Years ago I used port forwarding of my routers to access my machines from elsewhere but not for years now. I save no camera data to the cloud. I don't access my camera feeds from outside my home, not by smartphone or anything else. I isolate my Roku TV wireless on a subnet not accessible to...

Maybe one of those backdoors could allow me ssh access to the SV-B06POE-4MP-A , I could add some repositories and get ftp working on a schedule. But then it has no sdcard and isn't saving to any machine, linux or windows.

Don't now need that kind of security. Years ago with early bitcoin mining, thumbdrives, a Jalepeno, a Merc, then Bitmain miners, I had upwards of almost 50 btc on hard drive wallets and with online accounts. A Caribbean exchange got hacked and MtGox started lauding its security. I moved my...

Wondering if the antenna connector is a standard SMA and if installing 50 ohm terminations instead of antennae is a good idea.

Nice but these don't address the question of video chip manufacturer. We're taking about security cameras. Security. When HiSilicon chips have as many backdoors as recently revealed, one can only imagine a local hacker grabbing the login credentials and getting into one's system. I see that...

Well, the first of the three cameras from SV3C is apparently a bad buy. Regardless that SV3C use HiSilicon chips with documented backdoors, the SV-B06POE-4MP-A seems useless except to stream. It has no ftp capability according to their tech support on this series A camera, tho their series HX...

Won't be taking apart the SV3C SD6W 1080 for troubleshooting. It seems that the audio alarm trigger linkage overrides the audio on/off. So, unsetting the linkage allows humanoid snaps and video to be taken quietly and these are getting ftp'd to my designated ftp server on an RPI. Might have...
