    Lookup local vs public IP addresses. 192.168.1.78 is not routable across the Internet, hence your challenge.

    Network security questions

    To try and put your mind at rest regarding this statement: Firstly, I have NO IDEA how your LAN ended up on 192.169.0.0 IP range in the first place. Look up "Private IPs" as defined in RFC1918 - these are blocks of IP ranges dedicated for use on LANs, not the public internet, and note that...

    PTZ 3D Positioning Support

    I have an older 2MP Dahua OEM PTZ connected to Blue Iris. When accessing the PTZ via SmartPSS Lite, the "3D positioning" function seems to work - that is, I can click and drag to draw a box in the video viewport, and them the PTZ will frame up to the box I drew. Very useful for quickly and...

    Less than 12 hours with a PTZ leads to an arrest and jail

    Interesting, thank you. I don't have anything that is 4MP on a smaller sensor like that, but I am intrigued by how well (or not) they do perform, as many PTZs seem to use the smaller sensor. Color is nice, but in some cases I prefer IR. Depends on the scene. Do you have any sample clips from...

    Less than 12 hours with a PTZ leads to an arrest and jail

    How does the PTZ425DB-AT-R perform in the dark? OK despite the 4MP on a smaller than 1/1.8 sensor? Seemed to be doing OK in the clip, even in color rather than IR mode... How much ambient lighting do you have? Have you tested out it's IR capabilities?

    VPN problem

    Is it possible one of the certificates in the PKI infrastructure for OpenVPN, which you may have created when you set it up (you said it was a couple of years ago), has expired? Often with these certs you specify an expiry time when you create them, after this date they will cease to work. Need...

    PSA for those purchasing new Dahua NVRs NVR16CH-AI-S2

    That's fortunate, thanks for testing. When I do use DMSS, I never use P2P.

    PSA for those purchasing new Dahua NVRs NVR16CH-AI-S2

    In terms of this push to having a DMSS account for newer NVRs, does this affect adding via IP/Domain at all, or not? Can we continue to do this without an account?

    Anyone running the SD8X442FA-HNF?

    Anyone on the forum using the beastly SD8X442FA-HNF? (EmpireTech SD8X442FA-HNF 1/1.8”CMOS 4MP 42X Starlight Laser Nonred Net). I would be intrigued to see some sample footage, at various distances, and to see what the "laser" IR can do...

    If anyone needs a cheap, but good quality compact dome IP Camera, I present to you the $30 Hikvision DS-2CD2523G0-IS

    True - mainly because dome IR and dirt issues? Maybe in a sheltered porch by a door or something?

    If anyone needs a cheap, but good quality compact dome IP Camera, I present to you the $30 Hikvision DS-2CD2523G0-IS

    Yes, just trying to think of a variety of use-cases for this camera - close range stuff I suppose mostly.

    If anyone needs a cheap, but good quality compact dome IP Camera, I present to you the $30 Hikvision DS-2CD2523G0-IS

    Be interested to see any sample footage people might have of this camera in operation, day, night, etc. I guess it might be useful in smaller spaces, as well as perhaps an overview camera of sorts?

    Rapid switching between IR and Color

    Yes, I had forgotten to setup the Day/Night mode properly within each profile... Changed to: And the opposite for Night profile. Imagine it will work fine now.

    Rapid switching between IR and Color

    Yes I don't think I'm going to be defaulting it... I think the issue might be that I configured it to switch between Day and Night profiles based on my schedule, but forgot to say "Force Color in day mode" and "Force BW in night mode" within each profile. I have not had time to check the...

    Rapid switching between IR and Color

    I definitely need to check my settings again. I thought I had them setup as above, but looking through the recording timeline, it's not behaving as expected... Today, the camera was still in IR mode at 11.55. It switched a few minutes later. Yesterday (11th Feb 2026) it switched around 11.05...
