Instead of an IP camera, maybe you would like a camera that can automatically recognise the meter numbers. Open source project 'AI on the Edge' uses a cheap $5 ESP32-Cam board to take a photo of your meter, recognise the text and then send data to an external place. E.g. MQTT to other software. Or login via web browser to the system and see the camera snapshot. https://github.com/jomjol/AI-on-the-edge-device

Hi, I'm after suggestions for an ip camera & lens. I recently upgraded my cctv system with new cameras & cat 6 cabling. One thing i wanted to do was put a camera on my gas meter that's in the loft/attic. "I now got to the age of not needing to climb up & down loft ladders" I tried a spare 2.8mm camera, but had to mount it to far away to be in focus that it was to small to read. Any ideas?? Pictures of what is being used below.

Looked up the max cable length runs for Reolink NVR systems and they say it is 80 meters or 260ft. Can this be longer if you have a POE switch added? We have our NVR in an AV closet in our family room. From there it travels about 120fr to a large pole building where we have a POE switch with a bunch of cameras. From there I need add new runs about 200ft long to our new equine barn. Are we going to have signal loss? Does it matter if I use CAT6 or CAT5E cables? Does the signal travel further with CAT6?

Lorex Operating System / Firmware
MikeBrooklyn replied to JonHC's topic in General Digital Discussion
From my experience, DVR systems often have the operating system installed directly on the circuit board, separate from the hard drive. Reinstalling the OS or firmware from a USB stick is typically possible and can sometimes resolve such startup problems. Make sure to check the manufacturer's website for specific instructions or firmware downloads. They usually provide detailed steps on how to create a bootable USB with the necessary files. It's a bit technical, but following their guidance step-by-step should help get your Lorex DVR up and running smoothly again. -
Qvis Viper NVR vs QNAP QVR Elite & API questions
woter replied to woter's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Hi @tomcctv, Thank you for replying. I selected this camera based on a PM you sent me about a year ago. Back then, you told me what the trade price of this camera was but as I am not in the CCTV trade but perfectly able to install it myself, my supplier options seem rather limited and the link above is about the best price I can find without writing to CCTV installers to ask for their "supply-only" price. I only need one channel (one camera), but rather than chuck the Samsung in the bin, I was going to locate it in a different location, therefore I would need 2-channels. My QNAP QVS Elite has two licenses (channels) out the box. I don't want to connect a Ring doorbell but rather simulate some of the features and more using Home Assistant. For example: Send a notification to my phone and Google Nest speakers if a stranger is in the driveway. If the doorbell is pressed, focus the camera on the front door and show the footage on the TV. Open the garage door if it detects my car approaching (assuming it's sensitive/accurate enough). I believe the camera is capable but it's whether they expose the APIs. The addon you mention, is that part of the camera or NVR? This is for home use. Thanks again. W. -
Qvis Viper NVR vs QNAP QVR Elite & API questions
tomcctv replied to woter's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Hi before you buy anything I would do a little more homework yes the viper is one of the best systems out I have over 80 out. the one you quoted is a bit pricey are you only looking for a 4 channel ? also the camera you currently have is 8 years old and is a Samsung.. Samsung don’t play nice with other systems as far as connecting a ring doorbell yes it can be done BUT again may not play well but the viper does now have an add on which will control all smart devices from ring to garage/ door control. And doing this way keeps the nvr under the new NDAA regulations …. Is this for home use -
Qvis Viper NVR vs QNAP QVR Elite & API questions
woter posted a topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Hi, Some time ago, I wrote this question and I've been kindly recommended the Qvis Viper PTZVIP-4-4MP-25X-V3 by @tomcctv. DTS Digital CCTV will supply it, however, they're recommending I purchase the Qvis Viper NVR (VIPER-NVR-4K2-4BB). My current setup is a Hanwha XNV-8081Z with a QNAP running QVR Elite. I have a number of issues that I understand will be resolved because most of the "smart" functionality is processed at the camera as opposed to the NVR doing the work. I understand the Viper is a re-branded TVT and I believe this particular camera is this one. QVR Elite supports ONVIF and some TVT cameras, however this particular model is not on QNAP's hardware compatibility list. I plan to hook it up to Home Assistant to provide Ring doorbell-esq functionality. Home Assistant has an existing add-on that supports cameras via ONVIF. Is the additional Viper NVR a legitimate requirement? I guess I can try without and buy it later. What additional functionality does this NVR give, or why would it be recommended? My current system records constantly and stores about 7 days on 1 stream. What size HDD would be required to retain this period? What functionality is lost between native Viper/TVT APIs and ONVIF. Does Qvis/Viper/TVT publish comprehensive publicly available RESTful APIs that I can utilise to write a Home Assistant add-on? Does Qvis/Viper/TVT regualry send out firmware updates? I notice this camera has been on the market for some time. Is a replacement due? Sorry for the long post, but my current Hanwha is very dumb, alerting on pixel change. No tracking or scanning. I was in a rush, didn't do my research thoroughly and got my pants pulled down by the supplier, so I can't afford to make the same mistake again. I'd be tremendously grateful for any further help and advise. Thank you in advance. W. -

Kestrel Viewer App not working
All the gear no idea replied to All the gear no idea's topic in General Digital Discussion
Hi there. I just received email notification that someone had replied to this thread! I just checked and no I can’t log in either. Tbh we had them replace the hard drive last August because the original failed and since then we’ve not been able to access remotely at all. We can view via wifi at home but not when out of the house. For some reason it doesn’t seem to connect to the internet even though the cables are the same ones we used on the faulty drive. It’s probably just a setting that needs adjusting but we’ve looked at numerous YouTube videos and still can’t get it to connect. Once the server is working, any help much appreciated. -
Kestrel Viewer App not working
KMc replied to All the gear no idea's topic in General Digital Discussion
I know this is a thread from last year. But it seems 12 months on, almost to the day, that the server has gone down again. Anyone else? -
the tiny cam app was the best one at the time. do you have another app that will let me view my cameras like tinycam does? i have tried tons of apps and tinycam was the best and easiest one to ust at the time. if i leave the app running with wifi turned off it will show the cameras 1 or 2 at a time and only for a few seconds. kind of like when i had them all using just wifi. now theya re all wired and on a wired network. when i'm home they all show on the phone perfect, but when i'm gone and not using wifi they just do not want to show very well at all. but if you have a better app and one that is free to try please let me know. thanks
-
Some phones it works some don’t and that to do with the app …. It’s not been updated for years why do you use tinycam ? It’s a 3rd party China server app ….. do you use a dvr or nvr

i have the galaxy a51 phone and i can see my cameras using tinycam pro when at home and using wifi but if i turn wifi off or i'm some place that i do not have wifi it seems i can't see my cameras. i put tinycam free on the wifes phone and her phone seems to allow the cameras when wifi is turned off. i even turned wifi off at home and i still can't get the cameras to show using metro pcs network t-mobile is the same network. so i'm wondering if i have something set wrong on my phone. i run ver.13 and i did compare network settings from my phone to the wifes phone. i do get a free number on my phone thru the wifes account but it seems that should not make a difference as we both get unlimited data and texts. i also have developer mode turned on but my phone is not rooted. so maybe i have a switch turned on or need to turn one on. anyone have any idea what might be going on? thanks

iVMS-4200... multiple cameras cycle per window?
kirkdickinson posted a topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
I have two different security systems that we monitor with iVMS-4200. I have been places and seen security screens where the screen was divided up like 16 windows, but each of the windows cycle between 2-3 cameras. How can I do that with iVMS-4200. I only have 25 cameras, so would only need a few of the windows to cycle. Can this be done? Thanks, Kirk -
Dahua XVR5232AN-X - how to replace NAND flash - stuck on message System startup
terol replied to terol's topic in Digital Video Recorders
a couple of days of experimentation and the correct settings for the programmer was found. I use T48 and Xgpro software. 1) the dump must contain a spare area (dump size 132MB) 2) set the settings in the program: bit flip permission: 1bit/512B internal ECC: disable spare area in the file: include spare area And after the recorder has started, set the native serial number and MAC through the terminal setenv ID my_serial setenv ethaddr my_mac saveenv -
Ok I think I figured it out. I changed the Bit Rate Type from CBR to VBR and upped the Quality to 6(Best) and I Frame Interval to 2 seconds.
-
I am seeing the shifting if I am just viewing and in recordings. I don't see a change if there is motion or not. It is constant.
-
Hi. It looks like smart record is enabled. This is used to save space on hard drive.. basically your recording is lower res when no motion is detected and switches to high on motion detection as you can see in your video when the little Bunny 🐰 moves it’s high res. mare you recording 24/7 ? also you might want to turn up your pre and post record time … it looks like you have both set to 0 in your video
-
Not sure what to call this. But if you look at my youtube video, it is really noticeable in the grass. Pick 1080 in youtube to see it clearer. The video is changing each second. My dvr is the Dahua XVR5116H. I don't know what to look for or change. (4) Dahua XVR - YouTube
