andig 0 Posted September 1, 2015 Hi Folks, I am new to this so please bear with me. I would like to DIY my Home CCTV installation and intend to use an 8 channel DVR either HIKVISION or DAHUA. I need: I initially thought of wireless HDMI extenders + High Range Cordless Mouse. This is too expensive and beyond my budget. I already have a house wide 300MBPS WiFi with repeaters. I believe my TVs browser is not enough to view the stream. So my questions are : Can't use a Windows PC so Internet Explorer and ActiveX control installation rules out.Can I use a standard Dual Core Android 4.2.2 HDMI Dongle to View the stream ?Can this be done without the bundled APP. The demo from the dealer showed pretty poor frame rates. Is it due to network constraints or APP limitation ?If yes do I get to control it ?Since it is running on local network and bandwidth can be guaranteed, do I get similar visual quality as on the local HDMI/VGA Port of the DVRCan a Raspberry Pi be used as a Remote Monitor ? I have got a few lying around. I can then use the SNMP to trigger physical I/O ports on the RPi Regarding SMS, I am not allowed to use PUSH notifications at work so can anything OR service/gateway be worked out that can convert the raised Alarm events into SMS. BTW I am in India. Best Regards Sougata Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
