    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Maybe I don’t understand enough. I spent part of the weekend googling “how to use a vpn” and the only thing people write about is how to set one up. When my phone is connected to the vpn is all of my traffic that I do then secure and encrypted automatically? Like when I use safari or any...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    No I understand that. You still need internet access to connect to the vpn. I thought I read somewhere that you could use your home internet connection as well for safer browsing?

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Another question When you are connected to the vpn does anyone know how to actually use the internet service from your home on your phone/tablet/computer? Example, when browsing safari you are using your home internet access instead.

    I have a VPN set up on my network and I have all cameras blocked from accessing the Internet via the router. Do you think I need to block my NVR from accessing the Internet as well via the router?

    Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 / NVR5216-16P-4KS2

    I don't have NTP setup on my NVR or any of my cameras... right now they are just maintained by the system time (on the top of the page). My times are not staying up to date with the actual time (they are actually a minute or 2 faster than the actual time so I would like to be able to use NTP to...

    Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 / NVR5216-16P-4KS2

    I was planning on upgrading from the NVR menu itself and not from the web interface. Is it OK to do so directly from the NVR? I really only access the NVR from the NVR itself (and not Smart PSS or anything like that)

    If I go the 12 vdc power adapter route for testing can I simply then just connect a cat cable from the cam to my laptop to view the feed? Viewing the feed from the appropriate cam ip. I think yes but not 100% certain.

    Dahua NVR Reboots during the day

    A couple questions. If I understand this.... The new firmware for the NVR stops reboots when IVS is being used. Does this update solve missing frames when IVS is triggered? Did you guys update firmware for each cameras. Is this step needed?

    Cat 5 cable extender

    For sure I would use di-electric grease in the connections and then wrap the whole connection in weather tight tape. I'd hate to run new wire for the sake of 20 ft.
