    ***PSA for those with a New DAHUA NVR with Built-in PoE switch

    If it ain't working on your pc (browser), hook up an HDMI screen and USB mouse and do it on the NVR itself. Piece of cake!

    Solar - Who's got it?

    Couple of thoughts: - optimize your solar panel installation (orientation/angle) if you can : flat roofs are ideal, however with tilted roofs, you can optimise (for example) East-West orientations: don't focus on "max (peak) power production": instead of putting 10 panels pure south, the...

    Dahua NVR bandwith

    Hi @Nick1979, like @alastairstevenson wrote: there are couple of "possible" network flows: eg if you connect from wifi to your router, then the data flows from the NVR (cabled) to the router and the router sends it to the wifi In other words: you should look at your router statistics: is that...

    Looking for a cable organizer when coming out of Sheetrock.

    Such a solution does not "bind" the cables together. My personal favorite is using, every 20cm, straps like this: Easy to install, easy to remove, looks fancy and cheap! Good luck! CC

    How to display cameras on remote computer??

    Waazaaaaa! With this particular language in mind, I suggest you use your best friend Googaaah and search for it. I think 99% on IPCT uses a (kind of) VPN. So join the club! Quickly as you can! CC :p

    How to display cameras on remote computer??

    First off: explain us how you setup your web browser access from that other location? Did you port forward? If yes, close that immediately. If you use VPN: good! Then, install SmartPSS, and hook it up to your DVR: try it out locally, then open the VPN (over 4g forexample) and look at the...

    Branch Site IP Cam Recording to Main Site NVR

    Hi! Sure, why wouldn't this work? With a VPN, your "other" site is virtually connected to your "main" site. However, all is dependant of your internet (up)link from that branch site. For the VPN itself, you have the option to either create a "classic" client-server VPN setup (and "try" to keep...

    Enable alerts using DIO (solved)

    I just started with ESP32's, and there are dozens of sample wifi-scanning/detection scripts available which contain code to build whatever you want (eg to scan your wifi (eg ESP-EOS/ESP32-WiFi-Sniffer) What I personally would do: opt for an AsyncWebserver (which simply shows your devices with...

    Building a new home. Want a great surveillance system

    If you need a starters tip: even when "gardening/exterior" design is later in the planning, do forsee TONS of these in the ground: Put them into each corner of your garden, back and front. If you don't use them, it costs a mere $, however if you need to pull (additional) electricity/cat6, you...

    Building a new home. Want a great surveillance system

    Nice lot. Finding "best" cover (IP VM calculator) will be your challenge. If you are on good basis with your (cross street) neighbors, you might find it useful to hook up a cam from there to have "coverage" footage. Good luck building! CC

    Ubiquity EdgeRouter X - Configuring to Isolate Surveillance Networks

    There are different ways to achieve what you want to do, have a look at the specs: https://dl.ubnt.com/datasheets/edgemax/EdgeRouter_X_DS.pdf You mean your AP is powered by port 4 on the ER-X? You can indeed put that port in a specific vlan. If your ER-X is powered by its port 1, you can indeed...

    Dahua config backup encrypted?

    Not an expert, but what-if you would translate an existing "getConfig" from 1 cam, and build the cgi scripts around it with SetConfig to distribute it to other cams. In any way, some things DO need to be changed otherwise (eg IP addresses etc). So I would only export the things you actually...

    Dahua NVR Software

    Hello @Blue65, depending on what you want to do with the NVR, both SmartPSS and the integrated (new version 4) web interface might be useful. For example: if you want to QUICKLY run through various clips from one camera, I prefer the web interface of the NVR, very fast and reliable. If you want...

    nvr5216-16p-4ks2e Vs NVR5216-4KS2

    Hang on, you are mixing up a couple of things. First of all, IF you would put the NVR at 192.168.0.x subnet and the camera's on 192.168.1.x, then you DO need to have a routing (router?) which allows your NVR to reach the camera's and vice versa. In that router, you MUST be able to LIMIT...

    Night settings on the 5231E-Z12E

    From your original post, I see your FPS is 25, and your iFrame interval the double (which is an OOTB setting of the camera). Try to put the iFrame interval already at the same value of the FPS (hence 25), that will already avoid artefacts in the video stream. All the other settings are trial &...

    Lurking and avidly reading this brilliant forum —- All suggestions and directions are appreciated

    If you take the NVR5216 with POE, it does have a non-quite yet intense fan :p But with some tweaking you can exchange it with a more silent one. It does become hot, especially with 16 cams and 2 hdds.

    NVR4108 VS 4208

    I'd probably look at the 5xxx series then, and compare those. Other things to take into account: with 8 cams on an xx08, adding another cam (even not on the NVR but you want to record), you're doomed. The "surplus" for an xx16 is often marginal in comparison to an xx08. 2nd hard drive does also...

    How to access Dahua NVR using gDMSS over VPN

    If you open the VPN on iOS, can you, with the browser on the iPhone, connect to the NVR or not? To verify if networking wise it's okay.

    How to access Dahua NVR using gDMSS over VPN

    Hi @aabs! "Suddenly" does not exist in IT :p Couple of things to try: what happens if you connect to your local LAN (eg wifi) with your mobile, does gDMSS show the video feeds? --> if not: then something needs a "hit" on the NVR. Try to reboot it. Does it work? Good. Doesn't it work: hit...

    No Picture from VTO on VTH1550CH when using live view

    There are a couple of OpenVPN server - client implementation tips on this forum, but have a look at your brand of ISP router (asus/netgear/...) and/or your bandwidth to deploy it yourself. Do never ever open ports on your WAN interface to connect to your devices. Ever. For the VTH: you say...

    No Picture from VTO on VTH1550CH when using live view

    Answer 1: as all is working well on your mobile, I suspect a cabling problem. Can you hook up your vth with a premade cable to the POE switch. Preferably on another free POE port. Does it then work well? I bet it does! Answer 2: this is 100% identical as viewing your in-house IP Camera's over...

    New to POE wiring and need help

    Hi! Don't manually "glue"/"fix" two types of cables together, unless you use a patch panel like @samplenhold nicely shows. Advantage of such a patch panel is that you can have 1:1 patch-through, however keep in mind that each patch imposes a possibility of link failure. If you cannot draw all...

    Morning Neighborhood Car Thieves

Also some floodlight with moving sensors may increase the visibility (and possibility...

    The EASIEST way (without mathematics) is you go to IPVM Camera Calculator V3 and you pick your cam (and dito lens). You'll see immediately the "cone" of the Field Of View including DORI distances :cool: Happy Camming! CC
