    Captured Frame Rates

    That last sentence has been something I`ve been thinking about and testing on my cameras. I love being able to view the video nice and smoothly at around 25-30 FPS in 4K and up to 60 FPS in daytime on the 2 MP, but then if I try to enlarge a frame even from the 4K cameras they tend to lose...

    I did not dissassemble the eyeball part. I did have some trouble getting them to sit in the base properly and evenly. I do not see any moisture inside /outside either. And nothing is present during the day ,Also if I turn off the IR the spots go away. I guess I will take them down and examine...

    It asks for a range of ports to block. Would that be all of them starting at #1 (#1 - #65535)

    .Sorry to see I can probably find this on my own but don`t always understand even when I do. . That will keep me busy for awhile.The second range you mentioned is that typed correctly? Does this just block the 3 cameras (100,101,102) that I have ? Would that mean 192.168.102 for the second...

    It looks like I might be in over my head ,It will take me awhile just to figure out how to follow your instructions as this is too new and I dont grasp most of it. I was hoping camera gets recognised and go from there.Maybe with an NVR that would be possible. Is there was a IP cam for idiots...
