    What is the iP of your unifi 8 switch? What is the IP of the computer and can it access the switch and log into the switch? Factory reset the dahua camera by holding the button, then plug only the camera and the computer into the switch and test.

    Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+

    Tested the 5442 last night by walking back and forth like this guy in video. The camera in auto mode is either not smart ir or it doesn't work properly by lowering the intensity of the ir.

    Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+

    I logged into my IPC-HDW5442TM-AS and IPC-HDW2231R-ZS to see what the menu for IR shows. The 2231 has manual, smartIR, and off. The 5442 has manual, auto, and off. On Dahua website the specs show the 5442 has Smart IR Support. Would smart IR be a hardware feature or firmware like you guys...

    Red Band on left edge of videos

    I tested now in dark room with IR on and off and I don't see the banding. I tested outdoor again now and no banding either but then it's 20:00 here and the sun has almost set so you are probably right about the IR filter. I'll have to test again in the daytime to be sure. Looking back at my...

    Red Band on left edge of videos

    I have two new Hikvision 8MP cameras and they both have this vertical red band on the left edge of videos. Is it a problem with the lens? I can see it in both indoor and outdoor videos. Tried factory reset on both.

    Ordered my cameras and PC....NEED HELP...NOOBIE!!!!

    Disregard what I said. I only said to change the switch so that it is on the same network as the camera so you can initialize it.

    Ordered my cameras and PC....NEED HELP...NOOBIE!!!!

    Was that switch brand new? The default IP of that switch should've been 192.168.0.1. If it's working now then its probably configured already.

    Ordered my cameras and PC....NEED HELP...NOOBIE!!!!

    Ok, configure your TP LINK switch to be on the 192.168.1.1 network. Plug in a computer to the switch and configure the computer to either a static ip on that range or if you enabled DHCP on that switch it should hand out an IP to your PC in that range and you can configure your cameras.

    Ordered my cameras and PC....NEED HELP...NOOBIE!!!!

    Your DHCP pool 192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.254. Your camera 192.168.1.108. What is your PC IP? Your PC has to be on same subnet as camera to talk to it. Is it a managed POE switch ?

    IPC-HDW5231R-ZE - Record Sub Stream2?

    I suggest to do the 24/7 recording on nVR. On the SD cards configure the camera to record motion only for backup.

    Blue Iris Asus VPN question

    The reason I ask which model router is because I had this issue before when I had a $20 Asus router running openvpn. I switched to R7000 and have full speed. Could be the processor can not handle.

    Seems good in color. How does it look in black and white with iR? Does your live view lag when watching with chrome/firefox/edge/ie?

    Can ping camera but can't access it

    Are you pinging 192.168.1.108 after the factory reset? I had this problem on 2 of my cameras after I updated the firmware and it was fixed with factory reset.

    Did I Miss Something or Is Eco Savvy 4.0 (Pro AI) New ?

    Interesting to know if the face capture works or not. My Nest doorbell captures faces and sends it as an alert but doorbells are mounted at a lower level and can get a direct shot of the person whereas most cameras are mounted up high and probably need the person to look directly at it in order...
