I'm getting my 410s today will try out on my NVR

 

[xrapidx]

The camera's seem fine for adhoc connections. I asked my wife to add a cheap NVR to her last banggood order - so will see how they record.

I also got her to order another one of the cheaper plastic ones, they're easier to position outside our garage than the bullet cams.

If all goes well with the NVR, I'll do a big order to cover the rest of the property.

So I got the NVR today ... And it only records to hard drive. What a pain in the arse. Now I need to buy a HDD.

Had to use Google Lens to setup the POS, required creating an account before using it - and everything was in Chinese.

So the statement their cams only work with their nvrs bull Skelms!

Can confirm that the reolinks 410s 5mp work with my uniview NVR.

Eina! See Wyze launched their outdoor cam.

Cant even get to order one.

Managed to get online but information sketchy eg batteries a risk. Its not a pan cam. Base station only handles 4 cameras.

I'll rather skip for now.

If anyone wants a 16ch H.265 NVR - I have this one available immedaitely for R600 (I paid just over that). Selling because it records to local disk - not network - looks like it has the facility to backup to network from the local disk.

Interface seems fairly nice as far as NVRs go - and it accesses my camera's faster than the app/HA.

(doesn't include a PSU - only what you see in the link)

So my blink xt2s cost about USD 90 for 2.

This is the same pricing. Blink xt has 2 years battery life. This is 3 to 6 months.
I would be very annoyed to have to take down a cam every 6 months to charge it.

Pity this board is not what you need , it is definitely worth more that R600 .
The Hi3536D is quite a good processor at that price.

I'm hoping they'll respond with how to configure network recording. I have a 32TB RAID6 NAS - I really don't want to fork out money for a dedicated HDD. The configuration is fairly straight forward, so I don't think I'm missing anythnig regarding recording.

It seems to have nice features, face detection, various alarms, etc- just no idea if they're camera or NVR related.

A concern on that board is if the NIC can handle the band width that you want to push over it .
The facial and human detection on my board only works with the AI cameras .

If it works with reolinks and/or Wyzes I would be interested.

Edit:

Is it so "raw" with no casing etc?

Yip, just as the link, responded to you pm.

Has anyone been able to link mihome to their google home? It seems to be broken.

I ask because I ordered a xiaomi smart camera but have the temp sensors at the moment and the linking does not work

 

[Saba'a]

Supposed to but see link I sent via pm.

Hopefully a solution in there

So this is great - Banggood want a video showing something that doesn't seem to exist.

[Update 3: Resolved] Google temporarily kills Mi Home integration with Assistant following creepy Xiaomi security camera bug

Following a security camera bug that displayed footage from a different home on a Nest Hub, Google has killed Xiaomi's Mi Home integration with Assistant.

Eish looks like they might have killed it off again.

Pity as xiaomi value for money products. But hopefully gets resolved quickly like in the past.

You should try to gain root access, I did this to my Wyze Cams and it allowed me to record directly to NFS

I did a port scan yesterday, only 80 and 554 open.

You still have access to the drive and the files.... that probably gets removed when they are full.

https://github.com/HclX/WyzeHacks/blob/master/info/sdcard_hack.md

Something like this might work. I am pretty sure telnetd is on the embedded linux... you just need it to execute to have access. Once you get a telnet prompt you should see if you can copy /etc/passwd in similar fashion to the drive.

I'll investigate it some more - however, it doesn't look like the device reads/loads usb storage. I'll need to see how it partitions a harddrive - I attached an old SATA drive yesterday, which it immedaitely formatted it before allowing access.

Let it partition and record, shutdown, then mount the drive in linux, check where the files are and see if you can inject commands by adding a specially crafted filename. An educational video below. Maybe more people will get interested in reverse engineering and rooting devices, which means less embedded systems will end up in landfills
