    VPN Primer for Noobs

    There is less and less DSL equipment on the market. Once you pick a model, download the manual from the manufacturer's web site and read it. Netgear still makes one I know of. Amazon link here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0111MRL4S?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_33C9QHF22MZCQ9BE232H Not really a...

    SmartPSS won't launch

    Create a restore point before you get too carried away with troubleshooting. That way you can get back to the beginning. From an administrative level command prompt, you can run System File Check (sfc /scannow) to determine if there are errors in the file system. From the same window you can...

    Smart PSS Software not working right

    When you are trying to start Smart PSS are you logged in to a Windows account with administrator rights? Do you know if Smart PSS was installed under that login? When I click on the X in the upper right hand corner to exit, I get a confirmation window that asks are you sure you want to exit...

    Was this a new from scratch install or did you replace an older g/n/ac unit?

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    I am only familiar with the Open VPN application on Android. Once you have generated the certificate files and copied them to the phone, you have to run the application and import the profile into the application.

    Reset sets all of the settings to the default values for the installed firmware. On some models there are a couple of exceptions for the settings. In particular the IP address.

    Is a dark mode option still on the to do list or did it fall off?

    I would give a thumbs up for the AC68U. It has been around for a while and it is stable. There is a really active ASUS forum over on SmallNetBuilder Forums. They have sections for factory firmware as well as third party tuned firmware (RMerlin).

    Asus AC1900 Dual Band Gigabit WiFi Router

    Your new ASUS Model RT-AC68U router will work just fine to connect back to your home cameras using OpenVPN. There is nothing to install on your router. The OpenVPN server is a feature you enable and then configure. You then install OpenVPN software on your client devices you intend to use...

    NA Models of 5231 & 5442?

    Mac, I have had my 5231 cameras for a couple of years or more. When they were new, the PAL/NTSC option was determined by a suffix in the firmware number. With a N for NTSC and P for PAL. The firmware I presently have installed offers the drop down option in the settings.

    where do i buy a sata cable for uniview motherboards and what is its name?

    Amazon is a good place to start. In the search box put sata to 4 pin power cable. Remember this cable only provides power. You will also need a data cable. If you want a more local source, try Google with the same search argument.

    Can't connect to or find Dahua cams

    Each camera needs to have a unique IP address on your network. If you have both of your new cameras connected and powered up they are both on the same default IP address and are a conflict on your network. Disconnect one of the two and try again. Did you change the IP address of your original...

    TechBill, I would like to make certain I understand your statement above. After a firmware update, you are restoring a configuration file that was created with an older version of the firmware?

    IPC-HDW5231R-ZE Rhea V2.800.0000016.0.R.200430 Latest new firmware

    Updated the firmware on three model IPC-HDW5231R-Z cameras from version 2.622.0000000.31R build 2018-08-13 to version 2.800.0000015.0.R build 2020-04-30 with no issues. I did do both a restart and reset before and after the update prior to setting the configuration.

    Smart PSS - how set playback speed faster than 1x?

    When I click on the 1X indicator, it opens up a vertical slider. The slider can be moved from the bottom for slow motion (1/8X) up to the top for fast speed (8X).

    Have I missed something along the way? Did forum dark-mode come about or maybe I do not know where the settings are located? Thanks.
