I have several Amcrest IP cams that I had been struggling with. In the process of troubleshooting them, I wrote a shell script to download and change settings for several cameras at once. I figured this might be as useful to some of you as it was for me, so I rewrote it in Go, so that non-unix...

Hi all, Please correct me if I'm wrong but it seems most Dahua cameras are running Linux internally. This means that the firmware source code must be made available, as this is a legal licensing requirement for using Linux in a commercial product. However I am not having any luck finding...

Hi all, I have just bought a Dahua DH-IPC-HDW3666EMP-S-AUS-BLK as I have heard Dahua cameras are supposed to be fairly good, however I can't seem to get it to send the video anywhere. I am using multicast with my existing cameras, which means each camera transmits its video feed to a...

Does anyone know the price-level for these two VMS's for a rather small setup (4-8 cams, home-user & small-business)?

Been looking for an ip camera, but it seems like the majority of IP cameras out there still require plugins or IE, or there is no way to find out. Is there a list of IP camera brands that will be compatible with, say firefox on linux? If there is no list, maybe make one here? Dahua tells me...

I have a Ryzen 1700 running Ubuntu 17.10 server. I really didn't want to have an entire box dedicated to one job so I decided to try virtualization. So far it seems to have worked! Some key points: 1) The hard drive controller was passed through giving win10 and BI direct access to the 4tb...

Hello, I bought a used camera system and it came with a Dell computer with Linux loaded on it. I know nothing about Linux. I can login, but all I get to is an old style dos prompt. I am sure there is some security camera software on this PC. I am not sure how to bring up the software. The...

Has anyone been able to use a Raspberry Pi or Pi Zero with the Camera module to act as an IP Camera for Blue Iris? I understand the latest V2 camera module has very good resolution. I am having a horrible time finding good doc on selecting and configuring the right software that would work well...

I have a hikvision DS-2CD3132F-IWS (firmware V5.2.5), and would like to record on motion detection to the SD card, and then have a nightly script which backs up any video on the SD card to a linux box on the same network. Recording on motion to the SD card is working. Getting video off the SD...

Hello everyone, I'm new here and looking for a tabletop IP camera similar to the Foscam FI9831P. The camera should not require a browser plugin, at least not for the configuration. Requirements: priced under 200 USD indoor pan/tilt night vision / IR 1 MP+ resolution no browser plugin...

I have an DS-7608NI-E2/8P/A with firmware 3.2.1 This firmware disables telnet by default, but you can re-enable it using the latest Windows client (although apparently not the NVR's web interface.. odd) I see no way to enable an SSH service on the NVR, but I guess it doesnt matter so much as I...

I've purchased a few Hikvision cameras now and there are things that I really like about them (build quality, picture quality, firmware features like NFS and CIFS sharing, and especially price) but now I'm running into a few things that I really hate about them. I can sort of ignore the...

Hi, I'm interested in the fisheye 180 degree fixed dome cameras, the ones that give you the ability to do a virtual pan/tilt with the view dewarped. However, does anyone know of any makes that work seamlessly with linux based browsers (firefox, chrome etc) and don't rely on funky MS Windows...

Figured I'd share some details on my setup since its pretty unique.. I have a Cubox i4 Pro (Quad 1GHz ARM w/2GB RAM 64gb uSD) that runs ArchLinux and has an eSata 4TB WD Purple Disk This lil linux box runs a web server with a custom interface I whipped up, the interface controls all the home...
