Reolink

i finally settled on reolink. See Security Cameras for a discussion on the relolink RLC-510A IP camera. Note they also have PTZ models, and Shinobi can control the PTZ models, or you can use the iPhone app.

power supplies

The 405 Watt VR30-SW dc-dc converter has been moved to Hardware_Vendors#step-down_dc-dc_converters

Note the cameras are either supplied via the 13.8 volt input or over PoE (I prefer using a PoE switch).

Ubiquity

firmware updates

• download camera firmware https://www.ui.com/download/unifi-video/unifi-video-camera
• scp the firmware file

scp ubnt@IP-address:/tmp/fwupdate.bin

• ssh to the camera

ssh ubnt@IP-address

• invoke the update

cd /tmp
fwupdate -m

snapshots

Snapshots can be obtained from a unifi camera via default credentials user:ubnt password:ubnt (replace credentials as necessary):

sshpass -p "ubnt" scp ubnt@192.168.15.91:/tmp/snap.jpeg /tmp/snap-shot.jpg
