I wasn't aware I could use RTSP to feed to another NVR. Gonna have to give that a try.

@black3dynamite Thanks, I'll check that out.

@hobbit666 Sadly, they are not. There is no software to replace replace it. Nothing to run on your own hardware. You must now purchase and use their own hardware in order to obtain the latest updates for the NVR.

Looking to pick brains and see what you'd do. This is for my home.

• Currently running Unifi network controller in the cloud that manages my home network as well as my clients' Unifi networks. (17 sites)
• Also have 4 x UVC-G3 bullet cameras installed at each corner of the house. These are all pointing to my Unifi Video controller VM which is installed on a server in the datacenter.
• Backups of all VMs done via Veeam B&R
• The Unifi Video software will be EoL effective Jan 1 2021. UBNT will no longer release any software or security updates for this so I need to move off this platform before then (I know, I've been procrastinating).

Options:
1 - Buy a Cloud Key Gen 2 Plus (I have no need of the Unifi Controller function, single HDD, no built-in backups, while not announced, I'm not sensing this will be supported for long...no evidence of this, just a hunch)
2 - Buy a UNVR (1 to 4 HDDS however if you install 3 or 4 drives, the only array allowed is RAID 5 and I'm told no option to change that, also no built-in automated backup that I'm aware of)
3 - Buy a UDM (but I have no need for the Unifi Controller function)
4 - Replace my UBNT cameras for other cameras and find another NVR (maybe my Synology DS1819+ for example)

• To backup video files I suppose I could use RSync to send files to my Synology for backup but haven't tested that.

I'm leaning towards the UNVR but curious if anyone else is in the same boat and what you've chosen to do.

Also, I'd be interested in knowing which cameras/NVR you use in outdoor settings (remember, this is home use, not business). Looking for...

• some intelligent motion detection (prefer something better than simple motion detection like the UBNT devices do)
• day/night (IR)
• motion zones
• motion alerts
• audio (2 way comms not necessary but a nice-to-have feature)
• must allow for local video storage to NVR (so SD card-only or cloud only devices need not apply so the likes of Ring or others like it are out)
• RTSP a nice-to-have feature
• POE capable
• decent IP rating for outdoor use in southern Ontario, Canada (4 full seasons of weather and temps)
• min 1080p (4k would be great depending on the price)
• PTZ not required

@NashBrydges - just a couple other thoughts:

Do either locations have a double nat?

Who are the ISPs? Maybe something with the ISP provided hardware?

Both locations use the same ISP and no double NAT either.

@NashBrydges - Silly question but is the handset plugged into the correct jack on the back of the phone? I can't remember if the handset and headset ports are similar on the T57W.

Yeah, the connections are good.

@JaredBusch Yep, already set to that.

@scottalanmiller Yes I have, and given the phone is a Yealink, I think that capability exists however this is not my ideal workaround. I'd like to fix the actual problem without having to go VPN. But if there is no fix that I can find, I may not have any other choice.

I shoudl clarify that I don't want a site to site VPN. The only acceptable VPN solution would be the device VPN.

@syko24 Yealink T57W
