    Dlink ptz dcs-6915 control board settings and external microphone ?

    bit of a long shot, I got hold of an older ptz cam but the user guide online and in the box doesn’t explain what the micro switches on the camera do. And I’m not sure of the default positions either. Anyone know? Also as a newbie what’s the easiest way to hook up an external outdoor...

    audio problems on dlink dcs-2670l

    Solved. Gain% in audio setting on blueiris 98% works. (Default 100%) causes distortion and clipping I wouldnt have thought 2 % would make all the difference

    Audio problems dlink dcs-960l

    ok so problems with audio on this camera, the playback/ live audio is inaudible, like pops and squelching.

    Blue iris install caused isp to write about mdns shadow server?

    Ok think this is solved AND blue iris is innocent! Going back to the time the vulnerability started, that was 1 day before I installed blue iris so i think it was the dlink dviewcam software, freebie that cam with the cameras. I blocked all udp 5353 ports on my router just to be sure!
