    How to power dahua IPC HFW 5431 EP-Z ?

    That's too many amps, but it should be fine as the camera should only draw as many amps as it needs. So you now have EoP running from the camera to where? The NVR POE ports?

    Secondary NVR as a Backup NVR.

    It will then link the poe switch to the nvr wan port and be using whatever DHCP server is on the main network and the cameras will not be on a separated network. Not necessarily an issue, just something to be aware of. It's how i run mine.

    A challenging set-up? Off-grid PoE

    You might get better life expectancy out of your solar and battery setup if you skipped the NVR and did it all in camera with SD cards. It would be worth looking into powering the cameras via dc to see if there's any power savings to be made there too.

    RDP to Blue Iris over LAN – can it be done securely?

    Exposing port 3389 to the internet is a bad idea. Exposing it inside your own lan is fine.

    One camera "no video" for unexplained 6+ hour gap

    My unv cameras have logs located under system. They're not always helpful though. Under system --> maintenance there should be a button to export diagnosis info. However I've never exported it before so I don't know how easy it is or isn't to read. How are you powering the camera? Via a managed...

    Help with OpenVPN Errors (using Netgear Router)

    My Netgear didn't. It was all served from the router. Just to confirm, you're testing this on your windows laptop as the VPN client? How are you try to connect the laptop to the VPN? What internet connection are you using for the laptop?

    I think this is just forced perspective. The ladder is on the ground in front of the car and the guy is just leaning on his car to watch the other guy work.

    Here's a couple of companies that offer such services. You might get some ideas about other things you need to worry about beyond the actual cameras because the cameras are probably the least of your concerns. https://k9watch.com.au https://sitesafesecurity.com.au/

    Help with OpenVPN Errors (using Netgear Router)

    How old is that router? I used to have a R7000 and when i tried to setup openvpn i found it had an expired cert or something ( i can't quite remember) and the only way i could get it to connect was using legacy mode or whatever it's called. I decided against that and didn't use it at all.

    Secondary NVR as a Backup NVR.

    The old one is uniarch (unv) the new one is dahua. To be honest I quite like the uniarch one. It's a bit under powered (8 ports vs 16 plus bandwidth wise it's too low), but it's got a much better user experience imo. Certainly their mobile app is better than dmss. I was trying to find an...

    Secondary NVR as a Backup NVR.

    I have 2 nvrs running at the moment while I slowly migrate from one to the other. I'm starting to think I might just leave the old one online and have it pull the feeds directly from the cameras (it's already doing that for most of them anyway) I tried pulling the feeds from one NVR to the...

    EmpireTech Security Settings

    A lot of nvrs these days just have a single network port and you're expected to plug both the NVR and your cameras into the same switch/subnet. But for some non Poe nvrs you can get them with two network ports. I assume one is wan and the other is for a camera Lan.
