    DS-2DE5225W-AE 2MP 25x wall mount

    Thank you. That seems to work so I ordered that model!! I finally spent time adding a dual NIC and vlan and the limiting factor on completing the system was this low-tech mount!!!

    Dual NIC setup on your Blue Iris Machine

    Thank you. It works. I found out that I dont need to use the port # with the hikvision. So I will now switch all my cameras to the 2nd NIC. It really was not that hard. I also found out that the orbi pro mini ( with VLAN) works pretty well.

    Thank you. I took one of the cameras and connected directly to the router with a POE injector and it fired up. It was strange since ALL of the cameras are out despite the fact the switch lights up. I think I will replace the switch and see what happens. I tried using a camera which is only...

    Troubleshooting Camera Connection

    are there any recommendations for a good, relatively cheap POE tester? I have one cable that is problematic. The camera worked initially for over a year. To be sure, I swapped it out with another one. I confirmed that both worked by using a known good connection . I used one of these...

    Thanks for the recommendation. That does make sense. I currently have the AMDV4M16 and use that in conjunction with Blue Iris. I know it is not totally rational. I spend a fair amount of time aware from the house and inevitably Windows will update and shut down the computer. But I can...
