This is the guide we used here when it was first setup. Slightly smaller at 4 sites; but works the same. Tom.

Sure - check out Dash Security: https://dash-security.co.uk/ Family run business, very friendly. Competitive pricing. Can't recommend enough. EDIT: Hope you're talking about CCTV haha?

You're right. Operator isn't full 'admin' access. There is only one (to the best of my knowledge) a single admin account on NVRs & Hikvision doesn't let you add any more (at least on the 100+ NVRs that I've worked w/ from them in the past). You could always use SADP to click the 'reset password' option. You may have to speak to your installer if the security questions/e-mail are out of date, unknown etc. Do you know which model of NVR you're using? 'Operator' users get a set of permissions defined when the account is created/edited by the 'master' admin account. Reboot device is an explicit permission which, evidently - was denied by your installer. If your installer doesn't play ball - you can email an XML file to Hikvision which will do a trad. challenge/response where you can then import the file via SADP which will let you reset the Admin password. Hikvision may make you jump through any number of hoops before giving you the response file, annoyingly... Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info! Would this be suitable? I couldn't find much that showed pre-terminated that was outside-grade. Black PVC conduit is designed to protect from UV etc I think?! 🤣 In terms of the SFP vs SFP+: Could I buy 2x SFP+ modules (inc. 1 for the non-SFP+ capable switch) then & it would auto-negotiate back to the correct speeds? The SFP Switch is Cisco so will have to look into if such switches are 'fussy' over which bits etc are used... :/

Hi all, I'm doing some network upgrades in my house & would like to run some Fibre-Optic cable between two switches I have in the house. Complete 'newbie' when it comes to Fibre; so I need some guidance as to what cable/bits I need to purchase. Here's my setup: Firewall is Sophos XG w/ the 10-Gigabit SFP+ Module(s) installed, I'd then need a cable to go between this & my Ubiquiti 48-Port PoE Switch (that also has SFP+) ports - THEN, I'd be going from this switch, through the floors (under floor-boards) and out the exterior of the house for approximately 5m (likely in conduit?) before going into the annexe where it'll connect to the next switch. Everything is 10-Gig capable apart from the last switch. Does it matter if I just use an SFP+ and then a SFP module to connect the switches? Any cable that's recommended? Aware there's loads of different types. Aim is to upgrade the last switch to 10-Gig capable when finances permit...! Thanks.

I'll pass this on to a few of my IT/'HomeLab' lot that live close to me. We're all (circa) Kidderminster/Longbridge, etc. Not too far away from you by the sounds of things. Best of luck on achieving a sale.

I believe the in-built recovery was introduced in macOS 10.7 and above (along w/ newer Macs). Your best option would be to find an original installation media. If it's a 2009 Mac it can go up to El-Capitan (Generally). This is still available via the Apple Website to the best of my knowledge. Just watch out for a bug that existed with the Date/Time where you need to jump into Terminal to kick start the installation.

Check the Buffer Size within the Playback Engine options.

This’d likely be a better bet - if you can set the application as the shell? /forums/educational-software/193723-examwritepad.html

Profile Manager isn't really fit for deployment - macOS Server is dead etc; so treat PM as purely (for lack of a better description) - a 'Proof of Concept' sort of thing. Purely a stepping stone to the likes of Jamf, etc (although Apple (likely!) will never admit this)!

Newer BSkyB products are particularly annoying to configure IMO. I ended up sticking them in their own VLAN w/ unfiltered access to get everything working; as segmenting traffic, VLANs etc were a nightmare (especially if you're looking to use the Multicasting stuff etc) - you'd have to then look at Relays, etc (at least, from past experience). Maybe try a sniffing tool to see if that can shed some light?

The two immediate choices that come to mind are: *pfSense (Free, used widely) *Smoothwall Express (Free, used (less?) widely) - Not too sure if the product is still being developed though. I remember you could add on 'some' filtering (w/ the likes of/'Dan's Guardian'); but to what extent is something I've forgotten over the years. EDIT: Yes - Astro was bought out by Sophos and was merged into their 'UTM' lineup. I believe that's also been killed (or in the process of). Their newest Firewall is XG; but again - not free (unless for Home use).

You need to import your files into the 'Music' Application. Once they're imported, navigate to Finder, select your iDevice, click "Music", Sync Library and that'll auto-populate the list w/ all of the items you have in the Music App. You also have the option to then sync over WiFi for subsequent syncs. Whilst using AirDrop is supported; it's not designed to work for importing files into the respective Apps (Music, Videos etc) - They'd just be present in the 'Files' App which is not what you want.

Avid Media Composer has a free tier. You'd have to check if it supports the resolution; but being the 'industry standard' - I can't anticipate it'd have many issues working with such a resolution.

Behringer X32 for a School. I believe it also supports Dante & allows a stage box to be provisioned using Ethernet. Studios etc are moving more towards that than traditional (full) tie-lines.
