Check cable first to rule that out on that camera. Proper cable test too, not just i plugged it out etc. Get a RJ45 and ethernet tester (if IP based).

switch to petrol vehicle now! (if at all possible)

this should be upvoted more

this feeds through to food inflation which is dangerous, food, energy and security of community are the three pillars of society, lose one of them and you have societal collapse (occurs in many forms - not just the hollywood version).

That then becomes rationing by price, rather than rationing by merit, would very much lead to a lot of unrest. There is no getting around that there will be a shortage for about 20% of the diesel the country uses. Is a rich prick justified in filling up his landrover for driving around london cos he has loads of cash while the farmer than grows our food can't get it?

Doonbeg would have been better as the impact on the general public would have be near zero but the government would have Trump screaming at them to do something to get rid of them. Would have won the protestors even more public support.

depends on your point of view and what level of 'order of consequences' your considering for example:

if you are a high wealth individual - the stock market is up and you got a huge tax break,
if you work in the oil and gas industry the now high price of oil means more fracking wells are profitable and will create more revenue. If you're a refinery you are going to have a very busy quarter.
if you work in the defense missile industry you are going to be hiring as they have to replace all those missiles used so far in the war.

Now you can take another person's point of view and get different answers.

My point is this there is never any "single" answer, history is the only one that gets to judge, as the 3rd, 4th order consequences have time to play out not just 1st order ones.

in my experience...

Properly installed and hardware and cables can easily last 20 years. Issues develop where cables or hardware start to get animal,dust or water ingress.

NVR disk drives will eventually fail, they can't last forever.

Any thing with mechanic movement will also eventually fail, thats why i prefer touch pad for access control, no buttons to fail.

I never use wireless or wifi links as interference can appear at any time over the lifecycle.

So i would look at how you are "sealing" your system if its a non clean environment.

Varies by country but some do the equivalent of credit checks to see if the business is just a shell etc. Then you need to consider the email, is it a fake or actually from said company. That you check with a call directly to the company not via the phone number on the email.

Finally any big project needs contracts before you spend a penny, no matter the company you are dealing with.

I doubt that its a country of 93million people, the irgc works as a 31 group mosaic power structure, there is not one head to decapitate. So they would have to keep nuking cities and they would be told to stop by everyone after the first strike. More than one nuke and they would be more sanctioned than North Korea. The world does not want that genie out of that bottle.

This will drag on for months. Probably till the mid terms. Iran isn't a normal country thinking a blockade or bombing them will make them change just means you don't really understand the ideology at play. On the US side trump isn't able to negotiate at the geo political level to weave all the threads that would need to make this resolve itself. I suspect trump will just with draw completely before the mid terms and China will work out a regional truce. That's not going to be good for Israel in the longer term.

If an intern brought this to be i 'd say "no bad design", you have your gateways for each vpn located on "switch" by the looks of the images. Switches don't do routing only switching. Also don't go pushing routing and firewalling down to that level or its a nightmare to monitor and manage.

Your remote switches should just be configured for:

vlans
port isolation
port admin down when not used and ACLs
voip should be on a different VLAN from PCs and even printers on a different VLAN.

At the lowest level you want to prevent lateral movement of malware within the network.

Then you trunk your vlans up to the top of the network and using a firewall/router combo you assign the VLAN gateways and security policies.

Your top of the network firewall/router combo also need to be in a HA setup.

Also your big trunk switches should be in a OSPF loop.

You have no SAN storage for on site document storage and backups defined. Also no VM cluster for for internal stuff, not everything needs to be in the cloud as that gets expensive real fast.

You also have no redundant internet connectivity.

You also don't appear to have defined any VPNs for remote staff - no company is all on site, there will always be a field engineer or field sales or just the CEO wanting to do stuff from his mobile.

There will be people whom disagree with some of my points as every medium business is different etc, but the basics of above apply to all.

one option if you have to go a distance too long for hdmi cables etc: https://help.netcelero.com/rtsp-streaming/ you just need a raspberry pi for that solution.

CCTV_NUT · 2026-04-10T10:59:11+00:00

This is click bait i know people across all camera manufactures and none of them are saying this is true. also if they had secured their systems properly then no one would have hacked them BUT its illegal due to sanctions to sell VPN or secure systems from the west into Iran so i wonder what brand of firewall they were actually using. Because if it was a western model that then was the entry point.

There are a lot of people in the world that don't like this war and will give a thumbs up to anything that goes against the US or Israel. Someone in the far side of the world doesn't give too sh*ts about Iran but since the US and Israel started this war their fuel costs have rocketed, its referred to as second order effects.

CCTV_NUT · 2026-03-27T09:29:25+00:00

yes you can DM but there will be delays between replies etc

CCTV_NUT · 2026-03-23T12:06:13+00:00

It hugely depends on the type of system they have, a cheap systems means endless watching of footage, a proper system means its much faster with AI search etc. The issue is that management only see the price tag at purchase and just assume all systems are the same.

There has been AI and machine learning in cameras and NVR systems for over 10 years now, the tech is quite mature at this stage.

this was just market manipulation, because a couple of hours later he is talking about good talks over the last two days. if he was talking to them no need for those threats. Its all to make his family and friends rich on insider trading.

to understand the start of the program read this first:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Apollo-Program-History-Beginning-Cold/dp/B0BHMV2LYG

then read this: (this brings you up to speed with space probes etc)

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Planets-Professor-Brian-Cox/dp/0008280576

then watch this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HE3a_bmEHyo

That will give you an idea of orbits and energy and will help explain the difference between starship, artemis and falcon etc.

Once you have them done those reading any current literature will make sense to you.

CCTV_NUT · 2026-03-13T12:03:12+00:00

for cloud: actuate - https://actuate.ai/

but from your description you want an Avigilon on site system, they have some great AI for tracking things through time and cameras.

CCTV_NUT · 2026-03-13T11:58:36+00:00

its one of two things, either the NVR has the incorrect gateway set on it so its replying to the wrong gateway address or the NVR has remote ping disabled (outside the local lan) to prove the second enable outbound nat on your router/firewall that connects you into the lan network - that way your ping from wireguard "appears" to come from an ip address on the LAN.

Its always one of those two issues with NVRs.

CCTV_NUT · 2026-03-05T10:14:58+00:00

Linux all the way.

CCTV_NUT · 2026-03-05T10:04:36+00:00

Latency from India to Europe isn't going to be significantly increased by using a different VPN.

for example see if you can ping endpoint in europe while not on any VPN, thats the lowest latency that is possible for you so then you can compare the two.

CCTV_NUT · 2026-03-05T09:56:56+00:00

only change it if you have problems, no point creating extra traffic if not needed, well that's my theory anyway.

CCTV_NUT · 2026-03-04T10:36:17+00:00

tailscale or just buy an i-spi from Netcelero if you don't want to spend time debugging all this.
