I have a spare 1080p monitor, and a bird feeder that I can't see from my desk. I'd like a USB camera that will connect to the monitor, receiving power from the monitor and streaming to the monitor. The monitor is a Dell U2415h (edit: it's actually a 1200p monitor, my bad), which the specs seem...

Fair point - I'll do that then :) One caveat though; I like being able to view all my camera thumbnails in one go, will HikConnect allow me to do that across two different devices?

As title, thanks! The current (inherited with house purchase) box (DS-7216HGHI-SH) can take 16 analogue cameras but only 2 IP. Want to get more IP cameras but not have to replace the analogue ones just yet. What are my options? I'm not sure if it matters what the current analogue cameras are...

I don't think I can set up Gmail with TLS 1.0. I don't believe it to be possible these days. It used to be, but I just don't think you can any more. I'd love to be proven wrong.

Thanks. Anything cheaper, if I wanted to scrimp in the short-term, given the hit my income will take for the next year or so...?

As above. We've bought a house and inherited a Hikvision DS-7216HGHI-SH which currently has 5 analogue co-ax cameras attached to it. I'd like to add a couple more cameras, inside the house, and without the faff of running coax. I believe the box has the capability to add two IP cameras, which...
