    newbie and lots of questions please read :)

    @zero-degrees thanks I think that's what I will be doing as well however need to get the motion sensitivity adjusted. How did you manage that? From nvr or cams or combo and are you using all default software or using a standalone unit? I can't seem to have the nvr send shots I've only been...

    By the way so I followed your steps and although 192.168.254.0/24 is reachable from my network which is 192.168.1.1 I cannot still access the net from the cameras and the whole thing of using port other than 80 seems almost redundant IF your firmware has virtual host. In ether case I can't seem...

    newbie and lots of questions please read :)

    It seems to be random and it doesn't actually crash it just gives me a blank output so if I switch to fluent it works then I play around with the different cameras to see which will work in clear and it almost seems like one at a time.

    The odd thing is if I reduce one camera to 1920 it works as soon as I up it to 2048 it dies and it seems to be just that one cam. I wonder if I should just reset it and start over.

    front porch cam position

    ok so i have a relatively easy way to get the wire into the wall to either side on the left side its already there hiding in the siding, on the right i can route through garage and the room above it into the wall as i have a custom unit which has a space between it and the wall. the question is...

    front porch cam position

    so I have the 2532 mini dome that was purchased with the full intent of getting to see who is at the front door yet not have a huge monster staring down on peoples heads. so here I was thinking hey this thing is small I can mount it near the door at about height level and see the door and bonus...
