    NVR from Andy's store comes with POE ports??

    Sweet, thanks for the advise. I have a Poe switch, but it would be an added luxury to have a few POE ports onboard. No big deal either way.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I have good luck with the CMVision illuminators I have from Amazon since I didn't want to spend 350 dollars on a super nice one. It is my understanding, the ones with large LEDs are better than the ones with many small LEDs. I also did what you mentioned by plugging the brick inside the house...

    Dahua NVR recording audio

    I noticed some Dahua NVRs have RCA audio input. Will the Dahua nvrs w/o audio inputs still record audio from an IP cam? For example the new Dahua low light turrent myself and many others here purchased.

    Mbps

    Now i understand. I would rather future proof what i deploy. i will look into other Dahua NVRs. I will look into the newer series from Dahua that can handle more Mbps. Thanks for the assistance.

    Mbps

    I was looking at a Dahua NVR that is 80Mbps. Can somebody put 80Mbps in perspective. I have no idea exactly what that translates to in terms of vid quality it can handle from 4 IP cams. Thanks for any assistance.

    Ground IP cam and also use lightening arrester?

    That video is crazy! Even with low impedance ground systems, that much juice trying to travel through any wire/rod is too much and that energy is transferred to heat/fire.

    Ground IP cam and also use lightening arrester?

    Thank you. Can you suggest a grounding kit that would work for my application. All devices are approx 10-12 feet high on a tree. I know Lowe's and home depot sell kits, but I'm not sure if they are designed for lightning strikes and I want to purchase something sufficient. Thank you for your...

    Thank you. With UNSHIELDED cable, the multiple arrestors and grounding kit are worthless is that right?

    Ground IP cam and also use lightening arrester?

    Nayr, I received the arrestor you linked. would it be safe and advised to put the arrestor on the tree beside the illuminator and the cam, then tie all 3 devices to the grounding kit/rod that goes in the lawn/ground near the tree? in reference to a 2nd arrestor, can it go inside the house near...

    Samsung IP cam video/live lagging

    Thank you. I will start with framerate. Since this issue occurs on live stream, I was thinking the card hopefully was not the issue.

    Ground IP cam and also use lightening arrester?

    Thank you Nayr. I can deal with camera loss, but I want to avoid a house fire. If the cam and illuminator are grounded at the tree properly, I could still get residual current that would flow from the tree/cam straight to my network switch....is that correct?

    Ground IP cam and also use lightening arrester?

    I have an IR illuminator and an IP cam both installed on a tree. They are approx 3 feet apart. If I use a copper grouding kit to ground the cam chasis and the IR illumninator, should I also deploy a cat5 lightening arrestor for the cam and a surge suppressor for the illuminator where it is...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Since Dahua had chip issues and it Appears that has affected Andy's stock, has anyone substituted the dome for the turret? I paid and have not heard anything yet as far as status update, but Im thinking if the price is comparable then a dome would work for my install. It would be great to hear...

    Ground for IR illuminator

    I can easily ground the illuminator with copper and a ground rod. If I have an IP cam a couple of feet away from the illuminator, then i can tap into the same copper ground rod right? the cam is attached to a POE switch and switch is plugged into a surge protector, but a ground on the tree...

    DDNS requirements

    You said my cam/NVR will update the DDNS IP whenever the host changes.....what exactly does this mean? If my No-Ip account is "exampleIPcam.no-ip.com , then I just need to enter this info into the NVR and in theory when i visit exampleIPcam.no-ip.com (with port number also) i should be good to...

    DDNS requirements

    If my WAN IP is dynamic and I configure the settings within the cam for DDNS (no-ip.com), do I have to have a computer running onsite where the camera is to update the IP? I need to do a cam install at a vacation home that is not occupied 24/7. If all I need to do is change the DNS settings on...

    DDNS service for IP cam

    Historically for my home and work I use a static WAN IP. I am installing a cam at a friends house (dynamic WAN IP). When using a service such as No-IP, I assume i just change the DNS settings in the cam, and then log into the address No-IP gives me with port number included and this will allow...

    Blue Iris or cam manufacturer's NVR question

    All my cams are IP. I have one Hik, 2 ACTi cams, and will be buying one Dahua. Even if all cams are ONVIF compliant, would it be best to use Blue Iris? My concern is the cams are from various manufacturers and a HIK NVR might work fine for the Hikvision cam, but not the other 2 brands. Any...

    allow guest user on ACTi E73A????

    I cannot find a way, and do not think there is a way to enable a guest to view my cam without them having full access to the settings. I want to permit my neighbor to view my cam, yet not have access to full cam settings. Has anybody had luck/experience with this on ACTi cams?
