The fact that the ccc uses matrix as their official chat “app” doesn’t imply that it is inherently insecure I would say.

They even have a dedicated piece of hardware for it.

Look into vlan.

Basically allows you to have different subnets rubbing on a physical network card.

It is possible what you want to do and not that complicated.

Hmm, maybe. Depends on the infrastructure they put up. If there is a separate domain for the telemetry, then you can block it. Still no guarantee that it still works though.

The app will need internet access to login though. That really is a cat and mouse game that is not worth your time I’d say.

I regularly comments from users who were not aware or the financial situation. Maybe “we” need to promote it a bit more. But it is 332 per week, not month. At the beginning of the last migration it stood at 40 something, so we at least got some traction.

Thanks for the update and thanks for the work guys, I really appreciate it

Have a look at this one

Reolink ist the way to go. I think only the battery powered ones don’t have onvif. Otherwise the poe cameras all support onvif and are generally of very good quality. Plug it in and of you go. EDIT: Forgot to mention: You can configure the camera via the web interface, so no need for an app. I’m using the 820 at the moment, but I’m planning to get the new trackmix camera, these look really good.
