    Camera suggestions for my entry areas

    #3 is the back door. The numbers show possible mounting locations. I was thinking #1, but just see the top of the head. #2 might be better. #3 would eliminate interference from the light?

    Camera suggestions for my entry areas

    Looking for suggested Andy cams for 3 locations at my house #1 is carport. The left cam is currently a stock Lorex 3.6mm. The driveway light sometimes causes issues when a white truck parks below it The right cam is a T5442T-ZE that I am happy with. (get another for the left?)

    Video recording "warning" signs

    I see places that have signs warning that there are cameras. Are these required by a law (I'm in King County, Washington) To me, I feel it is a warning to pull up your hoodie and cover your face.

    Adjusting camera exposure.

    Thanks for the replies. My front door cam saw most of his activity under the carport. Funny, he picked up a gas can but it was empty....But it recently had 3 gallons of waste antifreeze in it. Would have served him right. I think I'll try the firmware update, and if it bricks I must have...

    Adjusting camera exposure.

    I want to flash the NVR with the Dahua firmware, but worry about bricking the unit.

    Adjusting camera exposure.

    I have a Lorex NVR system that I added a Dahua T5442T-ZE. I had an incident this morning and realized I REALLY need to make some camera adjustments. The Lorex system NVR does NOT have the Internet explorer icon to access the camera. Do I need to pull the cams and connect through a switch to...

    Lorex NVR issue

    I have discovered I need to set MD and zones from the NVR, not the network. I also set each MD to the entire camera view, except for 1 overview camera. I'll try to set the zones smaller, but one cam at a time.

    Lorex NVR issue

    No, it isn't fixed yet. I did reformat the drive with the error, but the motion detect is all logged onto cam 1

    Possible sff for BI?

    My everyday computer is an i5-7700K. can't really justify a faster comp for my security cams. That HP G3 is very interesting though.

    Possible sff for BI?

    Looking online it says space for 2 HDD and one optical drive. That adapter could hold my SSD, and room for 2 purple drives

    Possible sff for BI?

    Getting tired of my Lorex NVR. Found a computer for sale local to me. Dell Optiplex 3040: i5-6500, 16g ram, 1T hard drive. Win 10 Pro, can go Win 11 for $10 more. It looks like this is acceptable according to the WIKI. My question is, will my lorex cameras work with BI? I have 8 cameras...

    2 network cards to isolate NVR?

    New network card ordered

    2 network cards to isolate NVR?

    Reading the WIKI for double NIC in a BI machine. Wouldn't this work the same with 2 NICs in my PC with the second one connected to the NVR? The purpose is to isolate the NVR from the internet.

    Lorex NVR issue

    Could have rebooted. I know it was beeping last week, has an issue with #1 drive(has a red exclamation mark on drive status). Glad I installed a second drive a couple of months ago.

    Lorex NVR issue

    My Lorex suddenly changed from recording all MD (green bar marked with yellow marks) on each camera view, to only show all camera's MD indications on cam view 1. I discovered this watching playback in sync view. Any idea how to get each camera to show their own MD? I have 7 cameras connected to it.

    IPC-T5442T-ZE Day/night settings

    Looking to make adjustments to my shutter speeds. I noticed my ambient lighting is enough that it never goes out of color mode. does this mean it doesn't go into "night" mode?

    Wow, what a diff size makes: 4MP Lorex vs 4MP Dahua (IPC-T5442T-ZE)

    Another thing, the new Dahua cam did not have the motion detection zones marked. Had to turn on MD and also select the detection zones.

    Wow, what a diff size makes: 4MP Lorex vs 4MP Dahua (IPC-T5442T-ZE)

    Cam did not show when I first connected to the NVR I used a power supply and network cable to my PC to reset the camera to DHCP. Plugged it into the NVR and it showed up then. NVR is a Lorex NR916-N on the sticker. It shows as a NR616 by software.

    Wow, what a diff size makes: 4MP Lorex vs 4MP Dahua (IPC-T5442T-ZE)

    Dahua has blur at night. I have a lot of room to work with it now. It is not (yet) showing motion alerts on the Lorex NVR. More tweaking I'm sure.

    Wow, what a diff size makes: 4MP Lorex vs 4MP Dahua (IPC-T5442T-ZE)

    The Lorex is a 1/3 sensor and the Dahua is a 1/1.8 sensor
