    UPS PROTECTION

    I have a couple CyberPower and agree they are a pretty good choice. But a UPS's job is not to protect from lightening although it can help with surges. Generator question is dependent on the quality of the power coming out of the generator. THD. Smaller inverter generators tend to have cleaner...

    How do I confirm VPN is working?

    Well that is good. So if you entered that data correctly on your phone, then the problem lies elsewhere! Did you say on the ASUS router OpenVPN status page, you can see your login from your phone as connected? Play with that a bit to verify connected, disconnected. If that works, that is as far...

    How do I confirm VPN is working?

    You need to verify the ddns you entered into the OpenVPN app on your phone is correct. Check the ip returned using the tool ASUS Nslookup and verify it matches the ip reported by your ASUS 8600 router. Then hopefully that will be one less moving piece to worry about.

    How do I confirm VPN is working?

    It is an ASUS and you should be able to see the "connected" indication on the router OpenVPN status page for confirmation. Also need to verify the DDNS you set up (ASUS?) is working correctly.

    Seeking Hikvision IP Camera / Mac guy in San Fernando Valley area

    OK to fill in @alastairstevenson we had a phone call. Turns out network range was a problem. Network is configured for 192.168.50.xxx. So moved one of the new Hiks to that range and login was successful. Can't see video due to browser plugin thing we all deal with. Maybe someone can help on...

    Seeking Hikvision IP Camera / Mac guy in San Fernando Valley area

    Ha! We were typing at the same time. Yes you will assign it to your "Apple" PC. That is the MAC I meant. But we need to know what range the other devices on the network are using and stay in the same range so they can all communicate. Typically we would assign cams a static address although the...

    Seeking Hikvision IP Camera / Mac guy in San Fernando Valley area

    Also you mentioned an ASUS router. What model? Assuming that is your dhcp server, we should look at what range it is assigning to dhcp clients. Then assign a static address not in that range to avoid future conflicts. Chances are the ASUS router supports running an OpenVPN server and that would...

    Seeking Hikvision IP Camera / Mac guy in San Fernando Valley area

    We still need to know the ip range your MAC is on probably assigned by your router. I'm sorry but I don't know how to find the IP ADDRESS of a MAC. Google time.

    Seeking Hikvision IP Camera / Mac guy in San Fernando Valley area

    Same range means the IP of the computer is on the same subnet with respect to the IP Address. Using the numbers you provided for the cameras, that would be "192.168.1.xxx" where "xxx" is some number assigned to the MAC. Are you able initialize the new cams (one at a time connected because of...

    Can you tell us the ip addresses reported by SADP and also of your PC? Wondering if they are all on the same subnet?

    Seeking Hikvision IP Camera / Mac guy in San Fernando Valley area

    Sounds like a good plan to check the wire and POE for function. The SADP tool should find any Hik cams on the network even if the subnet doesn't match. When you get your new switch hooked up, connect one of the new Hik cams you mentioned and run the tool to confirm it can find the new cam. If...

    Seeking Hikvision IP Camera / Mac guy in San Fernando Valley area

    So further, I think it would be worthwhile for you to download the SADP tool and run it to see if your cams show up. Assuming they do, enter the IP Address shown in a browser (such as Firefox) and you should see the log in page. Then you can attempt log in. This might be hacked cams due to...

    Seeking Hikvision IP Camera / Mac guy in San Fernando Valley area

    That page is generated by the camera. Do you have the SADP tool from Hik? Tools-Hikvision Looks like there is a MAC version for download. You probably were logging in to the cams by IP Address and maybe that changed. SADP tool will find them. Hopefully.

    Which system?

    Also you probably don't want 2.8mm lenses on all cams. I only have one location on a door where that is useful and even there it is a bit wide. Makes it difficult to ID people.

    Which system?

    Have to take exception to the "messing around with import" comment. Could not be easier with Andy. Last purchase I made with him I sent a Paypal payment and 3 days later the DHL guy was delivering my 1831. Don't like that method? He has an Amazon store.

    Which system?

    Agree as I have also owned and configured both. There is an advantage in sticking with the same manufacturer IF you use an NVR, but BI doesn't care.

    Wonder if reporting to the USPS would help? It is probably a Federal crime and they have Postal Inspectors still, I think.

    Frame rate question

    BI will have no control of the cam frame rate. Some cams will reduce their frame rate when there is less light to give additional exposure time. Looks like it might be a bit shaded on the patio. See if frame rate is higher when the sun is bright and no shadows. What type of cam is this?

    Blue Iris randomly starting up.

    Are you running BI as a service? Check Options>Startup and see if "Run as a Windows service" is checked. If so, uncheck and restart. BI will not randomly start on its own, but if it is running as a service, it will start with boot.

    Dell MB are proprietary and will not fit in another case. Also the power switch is meant to live in a Dell case only. I bet HP is similar.

    WiFi Signal Path Identification

    In regards to the Powerline devices, it is not that they are on another "breaker" or even sub panel. It is that they need to be on the same 220 leg, although sometimes they work anyway. Distance will be a factor. But if the shop is on a sub panel (same transformer), it might work. Q's Amazon...
