NVR software recommendations for H265 reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WeltDriver · 2023-10-18 15:56 Hey guys Looking for recommendations for NVR software that works well with H265. MUST HAVES Smooth playback of 4k H265 Good App For iOS Got Synology DS1522+ and hooked up Reolink 811a 4k camera to it. Have to say ran into a few issues while viewing thru the app and even browser, can’t download videos to my iPhone as it has different codec, but no problem downloading H265 videos from Reolink app. VIDEO and AUDIO drift issues as well ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ElevenNotes · 2023-10-18 16:12 Just out of curiosity: Whats the use case to download videos from surveillance to your phone? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WeltDriver · 2023-10-18 16:14 Saving something as proof of mishandled delivery Sharing video with neighbor or law enforcement ---------------------------------------------------------------------- t3abagger · 2023-10-18 16:40 You could try Frigate NVR in a docker container and see how it works for you. Easy to spin up. I'm running it in container, passing through my intel GPU for detection, and using hardware acceleration and it works pretty good. Good documentation for Reolink, too. And since it's ffmpeg under the hood, you could theoretically output to an IOS friendly format: https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/camera_specific/#reolink- cameras TBH it was a little bit of a learning curve for me to get the right config only after plenty of trial and error but I'm pretty happy with how it's working. I have Frigate-Proxy set up on HA which notifies on motion. Pretty slick. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WeltDriver · 2023-10-18 16:44 Thank you, I guess no iOS app for Frigate tho? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ElevenNotes · 2023-10-18 17:37 Okay, but since you can do that on PC why the need for mobile? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WeltDriver · 2023-10-18 17:38 Because I’m not always around my computer but have access to my phone at all times… ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ElevenNotes · 2023-10-18 17:38 Sure, but starting a legal case or proofing something sounds more like a computer task. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WeltDriver · 2023-10-18 17:41 Not really, if I need to provide a video of package getting thrown to amazon … I can easily do it thru the app. Also Audio and video drift is present on computer as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ElevenNotes · 2023-10-18 17:42 It seems you create a problem that is not a really a problem and more a convenience. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WeltDriver · 2023-10-18 17:44 Did you not read the drift of audio and video… also yes when I pay $700 for. A Synology device I expect it to perform such a “cutting edge task” as downloading a video to my phone in 2023…. 🤣 You are fighting a nonsensical battle here ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ElevenNotes · 2023-10-18 17:47 No. I just downloaded a video from my surveillance station with no problem. Works flawlessly on iOS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WeltDriver · 2023-10-18 18:01 I’m sure you have H264 and not H265… you are trying to be smart …. But are providing useless input here… ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ElevenNotes · 2023-10-18 18:06 Nope H265. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WeltDriver · 2023-10-18 18:08 Haha wow now you are just straight up lying…. Here is a comment from Synology on my support case I understand you are having an issue downloading H.265 videos on your iPhone. “Checking internally, it is a current issue with the DS cam app on iOS and this will be fixed in the future version. However, I can't guarantee any kind of timeline for when this might be released. As a workaround, please download the recording using the Surveillance Station web UI or DS file.” ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ElevenNotes · 2023-10-18 18:20 I'm not using the app on my iPad. I use the webui. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WeltDriver · 2023-10-18 18:26 You can’t even view H265 video in safari browser….and even if you download it to your iPhone thru browser NOT APP as is the goal here you still can’t view it on iPhone as it uses a different codec… anyway you are just randomly spewing unrelated things here. If you are so confident that you know what you are talking about, post up screen cap of you downloading H265 format video from your iPad and playing it thru the Photos app…. I’ll wait ---------------------------------------------------------------------- t3abagger · 2023-10-18 18:34 Web interface. I am also using Home Assistant which does have an IOS app, and by using Frigate Proxy I can view and download videos via the HA app. Works great. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WeltDriver · 2023-10-18 18:35 Nice! And scrolling thru H265 videos is very responsive? Thank you ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ElevenNotes · 2023-10-18 18:45 Please shoot me in the head if I ever feel the need to proof something to unimportant and unrelevant internet strangers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WeltDriver · 2023-10-18 18:46 Well apparently this means something to you, if you keep engaging with your nonsensical BS … 🤣 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ElevenNotes · 2023-10-18 18:48 No. I'll finish by adding you to the blocklist, good day to you and good luck. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MeudA67 · 2023-10-19 00:18 Dudes, I come to reddit to escape life, and here I am stuck between my 10 and 12 year old again. Lol! Anyways OP, Frigate is probably your best shot. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- violet-crayola · 2023-10-20 07:26 I use xeoma. Its very lightweight
