    Anybody use OpenVPN server on Windows

    I think you did pretty well for getting it running in a single day. I've almost got mine going after several days and yes it was painful. I hope to have it completed properly soon. I've got a few friends that I'm helping out and they are not in a position or willing to change over their router...

    Extreme Backlight

    You could try using custom exposure zones. You highlight a specific area and the camera will adjust for the region selected. The other part of the image may be washed out but at least exposure may be ok where required (eg internally).

    Banned Chinese Security Cameras Are Almost Impossible to Remove

    Easiest solution for these installations is to completely remove them from any other business network and internet. The cctv industry needs a new acronym, it's no longer closed circuit.

    Why is cloud based video surveillance?

    These cloud providers (middlemen) likely want an ongoing revenue stream monthly subscription!

    Cleaning Up Image

    Shutter is way too slow without incurring motion blur (particularly at night). Use 1/60 or higher. For LPR you'll need to go even faster. You may need to add additional light if the resultant image is too dark (add white light or IR).

    Help with nvr p2p device offline.

    Can you supply a network diagram showing the subnets and IP address ranges ?, It is not clear how the NVR connects to the office, Is that via another private wireless link (bridge) between yourselves ?

    Andy’s fancy cameras install

    You'll have to experiment with a few of the settings. Try enabling WDR or BLC under backlight settings.

    Chinese camera from WISH. (Check the photo)

    Nice work RadioDJ but that seems like a lot of hard work, I'd rather enjoy my Frappe.

    I'm a little late to the party but I finally got wireshark capturing packets correctly on a different PC. When I compare mail test sending using Hotmail (at bottom), there is a lot more TLSv1.2 activity shown compared to Gmail (at top). So the question remains, I hope new firmware will...

    You inspired me to improve my network skills, thanks. I set up port mirroring on my switch and ran wireshark to trace some packets. Unfortunately something is not quite right and i'm not seeing what I would expect. I don't see the correct source address of my camera appearing in the list and...

    Troubleshooting poor image quality - frustrated.

    Did you connect your laptop (with the smart client) directly to the switch ?, you didn't confirm. In your diagram it goes via your router/modem.

    Cameras on LAN

    The MAC addresses behind the NVR are not seen or broadcast on your LAN subnet. Implementing parental controls is pointless. Only the NVR MAC address will be seen by your router. If you block your NVR MAC then you'll likely lose any remote access to the NVR.

    Troubleshooting poor image quality - frustrated.

    Is the camera setting set up for h.264 on the primary stream for recording?, MJPEG would put a big load on the network. Yes, try another camera. Good luck.

    Troubleshooting poor image quality - frustrated.

    You're pretty low on ports with that model, temporarily disconnect one camera or the uplink to your modem for your testing
