    Accessing cams with BI on NVR POE ports

    Thanks for everyone's input. I figured out how to move the cameras off the NVR to the POE switch and give them all IP's in the same subnet. That solved the problem

    Accessing cams with BI on NVR POE ports

    Follow up from my original post. Can't seem to get BI to see the camera stream. BI computer is 192.168.2.30, NVR 192.168.2.10, cameras 192.168.254.0/24 off NVR. Camera pages are reachable from BI computer. Inspect function pointing to NVR or cameras didn't work. Attached config screen from BI

    Accessing cams with BI on NVR POE ports

    Great replies- thank you. I added a static route for 192.168.254.0/24 with the NVR as the gateway (192.168.2.10) and bingo- camera access. I expect I can just enter the camera's native IP when I set up BI.

    Hikvision PTZ smart tracking and presets

    I have a Hikvision OEM PTZ with the tracking capability. You can set the touring between presets and enable the auto-zoom function. Be aware that the actual operation of the auto tracking feature is usually sub-optimal. It may reliably track larger objects but also has a problem tracking shadows...

    Hikvision DS-2385 turret cam - moisture in lens

    I had the same problem with the varifocal version of this camera and it did not clear on its own. Mine came from China so I bit the bullet and disassembled it. Dried it up with hairdryer, replaced dessicant pack, and added silicone grease to gasket. Fixed.

    DS-2CD4A26FWD-IZ with Onboard LPR/ANPR(License Plate Recognition)

    I tweaked the shutter speed on the existing camera and I can read the plates much better. Was seeing a lot of motion blur. That should be fine for now plus I didn't have a good spot to mount another bullet camera without my house looking like a prison;)

    Latest low light capable Turret?

    Nelly’s has a rebranded Hik PTZ in 2 and 3 MP. The 3MP has very good low light capability but does suffer from IR flare a bit.

    Latest low light capable Turret?

    The Hikvision 2335 turrets are excellent low light cameras. I’ve switched most of my outdoor cameras out for 2335s
