I had been trying to set up an RSTP camera from a second location with a basic black screen and 1 to 4 second frame rate that would alert when disconnected but it wasn't working great and had connection issues it seemed like. Tried looking at BI tools but couldn't get the email working with secure connections and kind of wanted a text or call alert. Searched the forum and wasn't really able to find anything else and had noticed a few others were looking for something similar but didn't find any answers. I wrote up a fairly simple python program that pings a chosen server at a chosen interval and then runs a chosen file if it loses connection, I just use a simple bat file. It seems to work quite well so far. Does anyone have any other or better suggestions?
