    Router password

    I have a similar situation, My internet and telephone come in through cable modem, which is itself has a router. My IoT stuff, like TVs connect to that. I have my home network on another router which passes through the ISP provided one. Thus creating a "double hop". This might minimally slow...

    First cam up HDBW4321FP-AS 2.8mm

    Thanks! Packages often get dropped between Welcome mat and first plant on the left, below the inbox. Or between TUE and Front Door Label.

    Rubber "O" Ring?

    Do you all think it would be prudent or a reasonable idea to put one of these between the wood siding and direct camera mount? For:( IPC-HDBW4231F-AS Dahua 2MP Starlight Fixed Focal ). Looks to be 1/8 inch rubber o ring, OD 4 inch...

    Do you turn off camera time overlay?

    Thanks all. I found the part of WIKI posts on Optimizing BI. It has all the info I need, save for setting up NTP for each camera. I do not use remote access, but it should be easy. I would think one just has to specify the time server (say pool.ntp.org), and allow cams to access port 125?

    Do you turn off camera time overlay?

    I noticed BI has built in time overlay, and the cameras all have their own overlay. Do people using BI sync cameras to an NTP server and use that, or just use the BI overlay. And does BI get time from a NTP or just use system time? Thanks for any input.

    No use trying this...

    Went outside to test out some positions for out door cameras. After a few minutes it started pouring down rain, and got unseasonably cold. Back inside for me, I work some more on BI set up until Mother Nature is over her tantrum.

    Vehicle Burglary Suspect

    Yes, I have been thinking of replacing my light fixture with one with a black out top, and then placing aluminum foil on the camera facing portion of the glass.

    Vehicle Burglary Suspect

    Does the light on the garage wall mess with the camera's sensor? I have a similar mounting option. Did you block the camera side of the lamps glass to prevent lens flare on the camera? I want to mount my cam outboard to the light, but was thinking inboard (closer to garage door) to get better...

    8 Port POE Switch

    OK, I got 3 cams configured, I installed the BI Demo version, powered all three cams with above switch, added them to BI demo version, and can view live feed from all 3! (Insert Happy Dance here.) I was able to do a motion detected clip save on one of the cams, and review it. Now need to set...

    8 Port POE Switch

    OH yes, After I run cable to the uplink port, and connect devices to PoE ports... I wanted to ask if the SPF slot could be used with a module to run another Cat5e or 6 to another switch somewhere else? I assume it cannot be used to go to another device (like a computer or printer) directly.

    8 Port POE Switch

    Thanks all. I reordered the one they failed to deliver. Amazon refunded the first one. The gave me same day delivery on the replacement. I will play with setting it up tomorrow. Never having used PoE before I worry it will fry my network cards LOL> SO i will connect an old laptop which is...

    8 Port POE Switch

    Only plans if it were managed: Make a VLAN for wife's computer and printer, use that switch to tie them in, ( they are near where it would reside) and second VLAN for cams and BI machine. I have no experience with VLANs so it is all swirling in my head, and the Amazon fail to deliver forced me...

    PoE Switch Suggestion List

    @giomania AGPS9E8P-AT-96 is listed in spreadsheet as managed switch. It is unmanaged and I think identical to the POE-SW802-DIN?

    8 Port POE Switch

    @looney2ns I ordered this PoE switch: https://amzn.to/2Hsfzf7 It is only 10/100. Except for uplink. It got lost in transit. Amazon wants to refund my order and let me start over. So I get a second bite at the apple. Ideally, I want 8 port switch, gigabyte, active, and possibly managed. But...

    MicroSD Cards, what are people using?

    What Micro SD cards are suitable for Dahua ip cams? I know there are a lot of "fake" cards on Amazon and EBay. So for my IPC-HDW5231R-Z What size? I heard 64gb works and that some people had problems with 128gb cards. Any particular brand or vendor that is trustworthy? Can I just go ahead with...

    OK Thanks. I will do that before connecting back up to LAN. I was unsure about being on same subnet.

    @fenderman Do you know the answer to this configuration question? Also, I noticed Bonjour service is active on cameras by default. Is this needed or advisable?

    Gathering pieces for install

    Quick Question: I am following the WIKI camera installation guide for Dahua cam. I am at the step "Set a static IP Address, and prevent the camera from connecting directly to the internet by setting a false gateway IP Address outside the DHCP range." If my router is 192.168.1.1 and my camera is...

    That is what wife did for bins, light sanding followed by the special Krylon Primer.

    I think this should work to power one camera at a time for initial set up only.... Output is 12V, 1.2A Is polarity standard, or do I need to worry about + and -, it is labelled on the brick, but not sure how cams are set up. Set computer to IP 192.168.1.40 or so, then just a patch cord from...

    Painting grey PVC conduit

    My wife thought our organic waste recycle bin looked ugly, so she made it whimsical. Black primer for plastics , then acrylic paint on top. It still looks good three years later.

    Thanks Tony I put in an order for 1000 feet orange Monoprice. They are in California not far from me. Found $5.00 off coupon as well. I chose orange so I can easily see the difference from the blue I pulled some 10 years ago. Ordered straight from Monoprice, got the cable and a bunch of random...

    Any opinions on Monoprice Cat 5e CMR vs Vertical Cable Cat 5e CMR vs other source? I need to make the camera runs, and one to the PoE switch.

    Thanks Looney. I disabled UPnP on 3700 router. And if/when I should want remote camera access, then replacing the 3700 with a VPN capable router would be all that is needed?
