Re: Our Linux IP CCTV

Hey, you're a professor Prof Fox, you should have the smarts to work this out, I mean you wouldn't be telling a fib about your academic achievements, would you?

You could run to an online supplier and buy a small, relatively cheap, mini PC with multiple NICs. Something like the Hystou/Eggsnow/Generic Chinese vendor systems available on Aliexpress (or Amazon). A Celeron or Atom powered box is probably all you need. Then install an open source firewall package such as pfSense, ipfire or smoothwall. Make sure that the only way that your IoT devices can communicate with the world is via the firewall/router.

Block SMTP traffic. Monitor your logs to see if the camera is generating any.
