"It's always a happy day when I find a new gadget, and it's particularly happy when that gadget solves an existing problem or (even better) removes a particularly grating annoyance. Today is a happy day. That's because I deployed the , a remote KVM. If I explain the annoyance and then show you how the Comet tackled the toleration, you'll get a better feel for why this little box sparks joy."
"So here's the situation: We have a home security camera NVR (network video recorder) sitting on the house's server rack. While you can monitor the cameras from an app on your computer or phone, some of the configuration must be done from a monitor and mouse directly connected to the device's back. From what I can tell, that's a security feature designed to prevent certain settings from being changed unless you have physical access to the server."
A home security camera NVR sits on a house server rack and requires a monitor and mouse connected directly to the device for some configuration. The monitor is precariously balanced on a Mac mini server with no room for a mouse or keyboard, leading to use of an on-screen keyboard and makeshift mouse placement. Upgrades to outdoor cameras and power-over-Ethernet cabling require frequent access to configuration screens for updating and testing. The GL.iNet Comet is a small network KVM intended for remote PC management. YouTube reviews show it connecting to PC servers and accessing BIOS. There is also an add-on ATX board for computers.
