Thanks for the info so far.
So the Pi / Home assistant is basically for Internet / external access to your cameras? Or does it do anything else?Will object detection run on Home assistant or Hikvision DVR? (BTW, are those cameras BNC or UTP connection?)

Correct, internet/external but also internal as it's quicker than opening the web browser to the DVR. However this is just a stream, meaning no playback of old footage like the Hikvision app would be able to do. But I'm fine with that as long as I stay off cloud.

Object detection would run on the home assistant PI, using the 960 stream over onvif.

The DVR is the accusense version so it can already do its own human/vehicle detection but in order to notify me the whole system would be on the cloud.

The cameras are BNC, and the DVR feeds the footage to the PI using onvif, if it were IP cameras then I would be able connect the PI directly to the cameras.

I watch this guy's stuff:
 
Hi, I am using a raspberry pi 4 4gb running icc software monitoring my inverter. This has been running for a year with no problem, recently the pi loses wifi connection and I have to reboot it to get it to connect. Could this be an overheating problem? Would I Need to install a USB wifi adapter with antenna? What else could be causing this?
 
What's the pi's temp:
vcgencmd measure_temp

Also have a look through /var/log/syslog to see if there is any clue as to why its failing.
 
Morning.

Does anyone here run some kind of NAS software on a pi? I see there is open media vault but for the life of me, I can't seem to get it to work. The end goal is simple, SMB + torrent server and not keen on configuring it on Raspbian.

OMV is pretty widely used. You should be able to find guides.
Also, Nextcloud is nice. (May be overkill tho)
 
Was on the RS Components website so checked today:

RasPi 4GB - delivery 2022/11/11
RasPi 8GB - delivery 2022/11/11

Came across the Pi My Life Up guide for installing OMV
 
The article in Ars Technica on the decision to ditch the default user "pi" is worth a read. As always, the comments are where it's at, especially for some tips on how to harden protection on Internet-facing PI's
 
Because of the scarcity/ horrible prices of RPI boards, I bought one of these to use as a Kodi box.

https://www.robotics.org.za/RAD-PI-ZERO-1GB

It seems very capable and has no problem playing anything I've thrown at it.
However using a mouse with Kodi is not much fun so I would prefer to have a remote. This is what I'm battling with.

I first got a Coreelec image but it is buggy and crashes often, so I am running Armbian with auto login and opening Kodi.

Code: 
pi@radxa-zero:~$ uname -a
Linux radxa-zero 5.10.110-meson64 #22.05.1 SMP PREEMPT Sat May 28 07:50:27 UTC 2022 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

The Radxa's HDMI supports CEC but it doesn't work. I don't know if it is an Armbian problem or not, but it also didn't work with Coreelec. I tried various guides but I suspect that my television set is the culprit as it doesn't list it in it's CEC menu.

I then connected a IR receiver from my dead RPI to the gpio pin GPIOA15.

Now comes the time to tell the board what I have done and this is where I am stuck.

There doesn't seem to be an overlay for the IR (https://wiki.radxa.com/Device-tree-overlays ) from Radxa or a .dtb that I could find.

Does anybody have any ideas to either get the CEC or the GPIO method to work?


Edit: Here is the reference page https://wiki.radxa.com/Zero/hardware , it has the datasheet etc.

Anyone know where I can get a PI Zero W, most places are sold out or way to expensive?

Expensive and limited stock, restricted to one per customer.

Raspberry Pi Zero W - Micro Robotics

Raspberry Pi Zero W
www.robotics.org.za www.robotics.org.za

That's why I bought the Radxa, same form factor as the Rpi zero but it does look like the gpio arrangement is different. A lot more powerful board though.
Depends what you want to do with it I suppose.
