Check out channels dvr (getchannels.com/dvr) as a modern, actively developed DVR. I love it. I'm running Channels on an ESXi host and just use the AppleTV app as the interface.

I, as an airbnb owner, was approached by someone wanting to give me a "router to put in my window for IoT sensors." Didn't take me long to figure out it was Helium.

I wish I could be proud of myself. So glad they finally make a watch for my mountaineering & diving lifestyle. Narrator: "He has never been diving our mountaineering."

Just running VMWare Fusion Pro on my M1 MBP. Choose connect to server -> enter IP address /login/password for your ESXi host. Launch virtual machine. Then you can simply tell Fusion to connect any USB devices to the remot
