Am I understanding correctly that if users had 2FA, the vulnerability would be prevented from gaining access?

Yep. The models I have don’t have motion detection.

You can probably find a visual walkthrough of the GUI by searching youtube.

There’s a login page. After you authenticate, there’s a live view page, a review/recordings page if you are recording to SD card in camera, and a few settings pages.

I’d say you could absolutely access the camera standalone, but at least the cameras I have don’t do any detection or notifications. That’s where the NVR comes in. I know reolink has cameras that do all of the above including AI detection.

I know you’re in zigbee, but I’ve tested many different wall switches and IMO Zooz Zwave switches are the best option.

They’re cheap, reliable, and most importantly don’t cause LED lights to flicker like every other brand I’ve tested. They also have replaceable paddles so you can change the color of the paddles. I purchased black paddles and used a sand blaster to make them matte like the rest of the outlets and plates around my apartment.

Inovelli is also great however those switches are overkill for most situations and very pricey.

I use a bunch of Amcrest PoE cameras. None with PTZ though. I run them to a dedicated box running frigatenvr. From there I allow access from Homeassistant with the frigate integration.

IP cameras allow you to access the device via web gui where you can view and configure the camera for your needs. Once I’ve set them up I only ever access them again through frigate.

How are you handling displays and keyboard/mouse? Also what VM software?

I’m not the one making wild accusations about somebody wanting to selfhost a gpu server to edit…incest porn or whatever it is you’re on about.

No idea what lie you think I’m telling. 🤷‍♂️

That’s such a weird leap in logic to jump to. Are you okay?

I run a few servers myself with proxmox. FYI there is a script that removes that nag screen as well as configures some other useful things for proxmox self-hosters.

I have a workstation I use for video editing/vfx as well as gaming. Because of my work, I’m fortunate to have the latest high end GPUs and a 160" projector screen. I also have a few TVs in various rooms around the house.

Traditionally, if I want to watch something or play a video game, I have to go to the room with the jellyfin/plex/roku box to watch something and am limited to the work/gaming rig to play games. I can’t run renders and game at the same time. Buying an entire new pc so I can do both is a massive waste of money. If I want to do a test screening of a video I’m working on to see how it displays on various devices, I have to transfer the file around to these devices. This is limiting and inefficient to me.

I want to be able to go to any screen in my house: my living room TV, my large projector in my studio room, my tablet, or even my phone and switch between:

• my workstation display running on a Window 10 VM
• my linux VM with youtube or jellyfin player I use as a daily driver
• a fedora or Windows VM dedicated to gaming, maybe SteamOS
• maybe a friend comes over for a LAN party and we both can game without having to set up a 2nd rig
• I want to host an LLM or stablediffusion server without having to buy a new GPU with enough VRAM to run SDXL

I’m not familiar with the VM method. I’m installing through the addons menu in Homeassistant after running the HACS installation script per the documentation.

Can I hijack this thread to ask if any of these recommendations have iOS apps? Vikunja looks the most enticing to me but seems they don’t have an iOS app sadly.

I use Amcrest PoE dome cameras with frigate. Quality and price are excellent. My only complaints would be the dome cameras get dirty fast and at night the IR light from inside reflects off of the dirt and makes them useless. Frigate also seems pretty bad at detecting things in night vision mode. And yes, I’ve already made the recommended adjustments in my frigate config.

I use ZHA and so far everything works perfectly and it’s easy to add new devices. I only really use Zooz products for my zwave network though.

I’m a massive Nextcloud fan and have a server up and running for many years now.

But I understand all of the downvoted commenters. It is clunky and buggy as hell at times. Maybe it’s less noticeable when you’re running a single user instance, but once you have non tech literate users using it you begin to notice how inferior it is to the big boys like google drive in some aspects.

That said, I personally have a decent tolerance for fiddling and slight frustrations as a trade off for avoiding privacy disrespecting and arguably evil corporations.

I would recommend everybody looking for a gdrive, Dropbox, one drive alternative to at least give Nextcloud a go.

Bingo! Feeling a bit stupid for missing that but thankfully that was the issue and now everything is working perfectly. Thank you.

I ended up going with migadu. Seems great so far. Already up and running with 3 domains and dozens of aliases.

Forwarded mail but it may be two way in the future so it would probably be smart to just go that route from the beninging.

Problem solved. The firewall was attempting to pass traffic through the default gateway. You have to create a firewall rule to allow whatever traffic you want but in the advanced settings you need to select the wireguard gateway instead.

In my extensive experience, use Zooz zen series for the bulk of your switches. Buy inovelli for special switches such as by your front door or anywhere you might want the use of the LED indicator strip and scenes.

Majority of other smart switches will give you issues with dimming flicker. Trust me, I’ve bought thousands of dollars of smart switches. Zooz and Inovelli are great choices.
