    Setting up VPN/VLAN and Dual NIC

    I think we are getting somewhere... Leave the unmanaged switch at the gate. Since you don't need the access point, its better to take it down and use it where you need to, The router should be installed in the same area as the blue iris or where you can physically connect these two networks. I...

    Setting up VPN/VLAN and Dual NIC

    Another way since the cameras are static addressed, take a wire from the home network switch and plug it into a camera network switch. Then put everything that needs internet on DHCP. The only downside to this is you have to rely on the AP security only and this wouldn't prevent rouge...

    Setting up VPN/VLAN and Dual NIC

    2.16 A lot of that tp link equipment will die on you like that if it doesn't last years. I've had both their routers and switches these last few years go out or go offline and reboot them. Since it has cost me more money in warranty repairs, I have discontinued that brand entirely from my new...

    Setting up VPN/VLAN and Dual NIC

    In this diagram, this network doesn't have internet access: So the AP would only be used for adding wireless cameras. If you need it to have internet access, then on the static ip entry of the access point, you would put in a static IP address that would be in the IP pool of the computer...

    Setting up VPN/VLAN and Dual NIC

    Set up the AP at the gate as a wireless client connecting to your wireless network and connect that ethernet to the gate controller.

    how to run nvr to a dvr

    plug the WAN of the Szsinocam into one of the zosi 's camera port. Then add the cameras in the Zosi. I notice Szsinocam is running a http site. Which might be an indication they have their TLS certificates revoked. So I will recommend you regenerating the certificates in all of that equipment.

    Is ZoneMinder still being actively developed?

    Its still popular for writing certain types of programs. However just like other languages people used to write it, they don't have very good concurrency and parallelism so system loading and timing isn't efficient. At one point in time, I was thinking of writing a Erlang/Elixir/Pheonix CMS...

    Cable testing equipment.

    This one I used before and they provide the normal functions I look for in a network cable trouble shooter, and they are cheap too compared to a fully loaded network analyzer that rarely you use the other functions.

    WD Purple new -> Dead

    I buy my drives from Newegg and never from the internet flea market Amazon because you don't know what you are getting and from who.

    Wi-tek WI-LTE117-O router port forward issue

    Usually there are videos for this for most routers, but it is router specific to where you do port forwarding and enabling responding to wan ping. But your router buries the destination and type in the advance tab where you would set unicast, and source (WAN port)

    Setting up VPN/VLAN and Dual NIC

    good to see you have it back online. Yes you can and there are a few ways of doing it. But the most secure way would be leasing a static IP (or two if they don't allow dhcp and static ip from the same cable modem) from the isp, then split the WAN to service the computer network and the camera...

    Setting up VPN/VLAN and Dual NIC

    Still never found a need for a managed switch on a cam network. For Troubleshooting, you use software. Either utilities by camera manufacturers or network utilities like coalsoft mac scanner.

    Setting up VPN/VLAN and Dual NIC

    it shouldn't exist on the camera network. Looking at the camera's datasheet, since their default address is 192.168.1.108 The camera network should be 192.168.1.xxx Static addressed. Managed switches is an unnecessary pain to set up just for cameras. Should be just a 10port unmanaged switch...

    Its a windows issue with the software. Right click on the IVMS desktop icon, click properties, click compatibility, select compatibility mode, and select Windows 8. Its a known problem of Admin installed ivms not getting rights to a local user folder.

    Why not 30 FPS?

    Its not really maxing anything out as much as some cheap cameras don't heat sink their processors well and it throttles back its clock speed to prevent its self destruction. fps does effect the processor's temperature, but its not maxing anything out besides what is wrong with a cheaply built...

    Why not 30 FPS?

    Correct. The only times I have seen 30 fps cameras not perform is either from networking hardware issues or a problem with the camera itself. I encountered it more on cheap cameras where I would get one out of 50 wouldn't do its 8MP@30fps.

    There are too many flaws in the consumer versions of windows to host anything securely and its not due to this particular dotNet program.

    Can I route POE cams through a separate POE switch?

    As a commercial installer I will tell you: The problem is: he is using a managed switch, which you should use an unmanaged switch and you can daisy chain two switches in tandem on each camera port. If his diagram was showing cameras on the computer network side, all they would do is assign it a...

    Can I route POE cams through a separate POE switch?

    Bridge mode doesn't do anything but join the camera network to the ethernet network. The camera ports are an unmanaged switch.

    Can I route POE cams through a separate POE switch?

    What you suppose to use is an unmanaged POE switch to expand camera ports. That is why you are having issues.

    Stuck trying to select cameras for someone else

    +1 with not using a mac to host an outside connection. There are lot of things you would have to turn off and secure and ones that Apple outdated, you better off installing windows server on a drive (then park the installation with sysprep /oobe), then install the drive in the mac computer. I...

    Stuck trying to select cameras for someone else

    That is why port forwarding is a bad practice. But as far as blue Iris, it has to be set up on windows server instead of the consumer windows and security setting set up like a web hosting where there is no firewall (except its own). with a public CA cert. Right now I need to get a new copy for...

    Stuck trying to select cameras for someone else

    I think an NVR is more secure than a VPN which are easily hacked. The thing people don't do what they should is regenerate the certificates in the NVR and cameras before connecting it to the internet. That is the only way I ever encountered someone hacking a NVR/camera system and was hired to...

    Question Regarding HDD Temps in PC Desktop

    The WD Purple drives are temperature stable, as I have put them in Hikvision's NVRs and put them in unconditioned storage sheds and they ran uninterrupted for years. I tried a Seagate one in one once it lasted a week.

    Question Regarding HDD Temps in PC Desktop

    In heavy use they will run as high as 70C. Its on their datasheet. They typically will give a 20C rise in case temperature in a normal case.

    going the NVR route and using its remote access would be better than making vpn on a network that you will be tasked to fix after someone hacks it or it malfunctions.

    Question Regarding HDD Temps in PC Desktop

    7200 rpm drives run at 120-150F and I wouldn't attempt running them in a case built like that. I would suggest getting a mid or full tower case and transplanting the computer into it, or get a mini tower like a Thermaltake Core V21 and attach it to the bottom of the existing case and run the...

    Will Dahua/Hikvision etc. make a 180 degree camera with IR?

    The dual camera camera types still have the flaws of the seam in the middle. The best 180 degree cam I find to use is a fisheye. Like this Hikvision camera: DS-2CD6365G0E-I

    High traffic usage by NVR 4432 Dahua when Video Detection is enabled.

    NVRs, unless they have incorporated outbound compression, use typically 150-300Mbps on remote viewing from the network with software. Usually the web interface on the NVR is about 10% of this.
