    Yarr, ye by digging yourself a Mass Grave if you be running them Next Gen programs of the P variety.

    Honestly, though, how long is that going to work for you? Windows 10 runs out of service like next year, sooner for most versions. It’s just not sustainable.

      I’m trying to figure out what to do with my lab workstation. If I want to mess with the settings of my Reolink cameras windows seems to be the only stable option sadly. I’ve tried their android software and it’s garbage. The web interface is very limited after enabling it in the settings via their software. Wine has not worked well for me. It’s an isolated lan so it’s not a huge deal but I really wish there was a Linux build. I love the hardware and don’t want to replace the physical cameras. Just so stupid they won’t support a Linux client.

          I really appreciate your comment but yes, I use frigate on an HAOS system. It works incredible and I have six of their cameras running along with four others from a different brand. The other four I can manipulate completely via Firefox on HAOS. The Reolink cameras just have no other option than doing the initial setup and advanced configurations from windows. So I keep a lab pc connected to that environment just so if I want to tweek anything like fps, resolution, network settings (IP, gateway, etc) that I’m able to do so. The web interface once enabling the https service on the camera has garbage capabilities compared to my other cameras. It’s not a huge deal, I haven’t had to get into them for advanced settings in a few months but it really annoys me that I can’t do initial configuration and advanced settings from Linux.

        I feel that. I use an old Canon EOS model and the HDMI output isn’t clean so I was hyped when they released webcam software for windows…

        but they charge $5 a month to use it in anything other than 720p…

        Picking good devices to use is hard.

        Yeah but Windows 11 is even worse than Windows 10 which was already a step down from Windows 7.
