Currently a work in progress.... technical aspects currenlty with Ryan and Andy

Current live questions between Andy & Ryan

Andy to Ryan H.265 - I had a little look at this and am a little in the dark about H.265 in general BUT I think this may be ONVIF DM just not doing it. https://sourceforge.net/p/onvifdm/discussion/1246119/thread/de437d07/
- for my memory - in shinobo https://shinobi.video/articles/2017-08-22-view-h264-and-h265-streams-in-the-browser-with-shinobi-and-maintain-low-cpu-use
Andy to Ryan - Is there some stock firmware we can use with these to de-chinese them? I'll ask on some forums
Andy to Ryan - how can we spin up TEMPORARY virtual machines in the future.. VPS? Virtualbox (or another) on novo?

Software

ONVIF Device Manager used to get access to the cameras and do basic setup
- Doesn't seem to allow H.265 but Andy thinks this is a profile setting in the software
Bundled software is a NETSurveillance WEB - an ancient activeX plugin for internet explorer(!) -
- Andy's currently hosting a virtual machine with this on - this seems to have a bit more functionality thank ONVIF DM for the setup
Ryan has setup a test of shinobiCCTV - Andy yet to play with

There is a manual floating around for them but it's on limited use - a generic software guide to the activeX control (see software)

Part of this was to make vulnerable people on their own feel safer...
- Do we want a machine that displays the outside camera constantly - or web page?
Only record on motion
- To cover car park?
Camera locations?
- Making them secure?

2018-06-07 - John - DO we need to put signs up that CCTV is in use, who administrates our scheme etc..
