Re: [PLUG] Wireless video cameras?

OH yes, run your cameras on a isolated network. I never mix my cameras into the LAN, the only point of entry from the outside (if you need it ) is the DVR. With ZoneMinder, you can make it pretty hard to access it if you want. Or if you just want local console, you can view from the DVR. When I

Re: [PLUG] Wireless video cameras?

That is what I like about ZoneMinder, it is FOSS and it is your job to make it as secure as you want. I had an instance where I thought I had removed all of the PhPMYAdmin stuff from one (I had installed it to do some changes) I did not get a small piece removed and the bad guys got in through

Re: [PLUG] Wireless video cameras?

www.krebsonsecurity.com just posted a piece of vulnerabilities in DVR cameras. Personally I will not be joining the IoT. I'm doing this from memory but, in the Mayan *Popol Vuh* (yes I have a copy & I've read it) the Maya are attacked by their household goods; chairs, tables, pots, pans, etc.

Re: [PLUG] Wireless video cameras?

Cameras have to be powered somehow. Wired cameras get their power over the cable, CAT5 or coax. Wireless cameras need either batteries or wall wart. Murphy says camera battery will be dead when event occurs. Wall warts have short cables which greatly limits camera placement. Cables for wired

Re: [PLUG] Wireless video cameras?

A while ago, my area also had a series of car break-ins. And I was thinking if there's a way to deploy drones to police the area automatically. Just curious if anyone has thought about this possibility. -v On Mon, Mar 13, 2017 at 5:22 PM, Chuck Hast wrote: > I use

Re: [PLUG] Wireless video cameras?

I use ZoneMinder as the DVR and I prefer wired cameras if you can run the cat5/6. I have used wifi linked cams but never realy trusted them. If you go wireless, I would go with a good product. I do NOT trust the memory cards in cameras, seen too many fail, and just when u need them. There is a
