HaHa you beat me to it! Glad all is working

Only real downside I have found is that by turning on high framerate it disables 4k recording. If anyone has a way around that it would be great.

@bk I could still use the hacked version. Would it still be possible to get a copy?

Thanks!

@rstraniero
I should (I don’t throw anything out-still got emails from the 90’s), but it’s not mine to give out to be honest.
@Monocle Rob has/had it… so you could message him and ask. Or if he give me permission, I could make available. But again, it’s not mine to share / distribute.

Frankly , it’s very easy to get a Pi up and running. I know they are sort of hard to get, but they are out there for reasonable monies in all you need to get going kit form for ~$165 Pi48m. (seems they wont sell them as just boards lately)
And Rob has a very good step by step. I recommend you take the plunge… This is a gateway on your network , so best to keep security on the forefront. The “hacked” Win7 version, has no promises of being up to date security wise due to the hacking Rob did to get a running version, hence dropping the Win7 support. He more or less did it as a proof of concept of where the issues where and are.

Please understand, I’m respecting @Monocle Rob I.P.

@bk Thanks for the reply…I’ll take a look at the PI solution…take care, Roberto

I have no problem with the “hacked” Windows 7 version being made available.
In fact, here is the public link to it:
https://archive.monoclecam.com/monocle-gateway/monocle-gateway-0.0.6-beta/windows/monocle-gateway-windows-x64-v0.0.6-WIN7-HACK.zip

Please just be aware that there is no official support for Windows 7 as of v0.0.6 nor going forward. If I recall it had something to do with underlying support discontinued in the dependency framework.

Thanks, Robert

As @bk suggested there are elecellent alternatives such as running on a Raspberry Pi. You can also alternatively run it in a virtual machine or as a Docker container — albeit a Raspberry Pi (or similar SBC) may be the easiest if you are not familiar with VMs or Docker. The only requirement is that it must expose port 443 on your private network. (Not publicly to the Internet!).

I have personally run it on the following platforms over the years:

Raspberry Pi
MacOS
Ubuntu Virtual Machine on VMWare ESXi
Ubuntu Virtual Machine on Proxmox
Synology NAS Docker Container
QNAP NAS - using Docker Container (via Container Station)
QNAP NAS - using Ubuntu Virtual Machine (via Virtualization Station)

I have previously run it on Windows for testing, but never really long term.

are the beta-6 version deb or tar built for compatibility with ARM6? I’m seeing “Illegal instruction” and nothing else when trying this out on an old rpi model Bv2.

Seems to have fixed my issues. Is this still in beta coming up on year now?
