    New NVR and cams, trying to set basic SMD and push notifications

    HAHAH no problem.. I should have opened with "I have a MacBook M1 running MacOS." Just didn't think to mention since it seems all the camera settings Ive made have set no problem. Is the IVS drawing issue a common complaint.? I have read on here numerous times that IE is standard but I have...

    New NVR and cams, trying to set basic SMD and push notifications

    Yea, "Smart PLan" is where I enabled "IVS" and then attempted to create the "Tripwire" rule... The rule did not stick... Macbook Air using Chrome if that matters however Ive been using this computer all day fiddling with settings and everything seems to "stick" and function just fine.

    New NVR and cams, trying to set basic SMD and push notifications

    Good evening @bigredfish I am sure this is user error so forgive me. Just got my first camera, (no NVR yet) same as above, to use as a test camera at different install locations. I have not installed anywhere yet cause it's too damn cold here in the midwest so I am just trying to familiarize...

    Do you personally use these? I was looking at them and wondered how they perform despite their small size?

    2MP vs 4MP vs 8MP

    Is he a frequent visitor? lol. Can I ask, what IR floods are you using and how are the powered? That one in the backyard seems to do very well especially since you describe the extreme darkness back there Thanks.

    Will this network setup work with EmpireTech NVR 8CH-AI and my 2 existing PoE switches

    I appreciate your input. I was trying to avoid this because I’m lazy around the holidays but With some elbow grease, I could technically get network cables from my four cameras in garage area down into my basement, and then simply plug them each into the back of a POE NVR. Likewise, plug...

    Will this network setup work with EmpireTech NVR 8CH-AI and my 2 existing PoE switches

    So in this scenario, would this work. I swap out my POE switch in the garage area for a regular switch and plug all those cameras in the garage area into that switch. Then run the cable from that switch down into the basement and connect directly to one of the POE ports on the NVR. Purchase a...

    Will this network setup work with EmpireTech NVR 8CH-AI and my 2 existing PoE switches

    thanks @wezal15 Now that I think of it, the set up videos I have watched were PoE NVR which obviously can put cameras on its own seperate network since it has a built-in switch right?

    Will this network setup work with EmpireTech NVR 8CH-AI and my 2 existing PoE switches

    @wittaj @Ri22o @bigredfish could I please get your input on this so I can start to run more network cables if that’s what’s needed? Any network suggestions much appreciated thanks in advance!

    Will this network setup work with EmpireTech NVR 8CH-AI and my 2 existing PoE switches

    Thanks for the reply. Forgive me in advance for my lack of networking knowledge ( still learning lol) but if you are asking could I remove the connection from the PoE switch to the asus node (loft area) and instead run another cable to connect that switch and the other PoE switch (basement...

    Will this network setup work with EmpireTech NVR 8CH-AI and my 2 existing PoE switches

    Hello, See attachment please. As the title suggest, I am trying to see if this setup will work to add a EmpireTech NVR 8XCH-AI (non PoE) and some Andy cams to my existing setup that includes Cat6 cabling thats already in the locations listed and existing PoE switches. I watched the NVR setup...

    Apple MacBook Dahua Questions

    I have a MacBook Air 2020, M1 running Sonoma 14.1.2. I have the same cameras and NVR on order. Do you think I will have full access to setup and features or will I need something else? thanks!

    Another newbie here with general camera and install location recommendations

    Yea, I see its really popular and probably offers more features than I would ever no how to use...Im more of a simple man and probably would be content with a NVR unless I am missing something obvious that makes an NVR a non stater for some???

    Another newbie here with general camera and install location recommendations

    @mat200 @actran Also, I forgot to ask.. In the Wiki I was reading about the NVR and PoE vs Non PoE. I have never had one... I got the impression from reading it's almost better to have a NON PoE. I currently have all my PoE cameras in the front area of house (3 of them ) connected to a PoE...

    Another newbie here with general camera and install location recommendations

    Thanks and yea I have seen some members not so happy with that camera. I just like its small form but really after I think about it, I am not sure I will be happy with it and dont think its all that capable to reach that far into my front yard with worthwhile footage. Are you thinking the...

    Another newbie here with general camera and install location recommendations

    Thank you @mat200 Do you have any recommendations for where to mount the camera near my front door and for the camera to the left of the garage. Hopefully if you look at my pictures, you can get an idea of possible mounting locations. Also with the turret style camera, if I end up mounting...
