Best current deal on 1000ft of Ethernet cable, RJ45 Connectors, and a crimper?
If you have a "GRAYBAR" electrical supply store, get the Ber-Tek Cat6 indoor PVC 1000' for $170'ish. GRAYBAR is everywhere and you would not have to worry about shipping costs. You will not need PLENUM, as if your house is on fire, the toxic fumes from PVC cables would be the least of your...- Holbs

Contemplating Blue Iris and have a question about PC location
Or hire your local low voltage network wiring contractor and run 2 Cat6 cables back & forth from your closet to wherever you put your machine. I wouldn't rely on WiFi to remote into your Blue Iris machine. In a time of crisis where your mind is getting scrambled in a rush due to an emergency... -
Who uses Dahua AI capable cameras? Reliable AI for triggering events? Pro's/con's?
The OP must of been very thoughtful to start a thread subject like this in the hopes it would survive years later to help others. -
Hindsight is biting my friend after theft, need opinion on camera layout.
A couple weeks late.... but something to consider (really, anyone to consider) make sure you have at least 1 camera at the 6' height from the ground. Sure, it can be easily vandalized. I had a security issue. Put 4-5 cameras out front at 9' and 12' heights + 1 at 4' height (Dahua VTO villa...- Holbs

Blue Iris in a business environment. Who has used it or installed it?
I did talk to Andy while purchasing the equipment. Future could look bright! Have already been approached by a woman's shelter advocate of the suggestion of making a separate non-profit business to assist with those in need of NVR & IP cameras for woman's shelter, domestic violence victims in... -
Blue Iris in a business environment. Who has used it or installed it?
Kinda funny this has popped up after 2 years. My company is in the middle of it's first Dahua Camera and NVR system install. It's dinky (NVR8CH-8P-2AI and 7 x IP-T54IR-ZE 4MP). Sent all 4 techs over to learn pro's/con's/how/how not to, do residential Cat6 wiring as professional as possible... -
Need Buyers help for Dahua Camera
Can you toss up a picture of your outside installation so we can see why it's not possible to bring the cameras lower? I have multiple height cameras. 4 at the 6 foot height to point directly at faces so that light reflection off a face is not obscured by hats or bowing head down. These are 2... -

HDW3849H-AS-PV vs T5442TM-AS for longer distance
How about this... purchase both the ZE and Z4E. Can't go wrong! You'll eventually use one and the other once you go down the rabbit hole! -
Review-IP Villa Outdoor Doorbell Station & Indoor Monitor Kit
I have no idea what those commands are that you listed. I use the GUI to setup my config parameters. And my setup is different than normal because I chose not to use the Dahua Cloud for notifications & video feeds to my Android phone but rather an odd ball way of bypassing the cloud all... -

Looking for a decent doorbell camera that works with BI
I know the Dahua VTO/VTH villa intercom system might be... older and not as useful to folks out there like what has been already been mentioned...but since Dan brought up Home Assistant, The Dahua VTO is included in the Dahua integration into Home Assistant. From there, can have speakers or... -
Camera Placement for Detect vs Identify - Just Some Thoughts
As I have learned... if you want a video / picture of a face to give to the local authorities so that they have something to arrest or get a warrant for, the perfect angle is level with the face. Once you start going higher, now you have to factor in light shadows, baseball hat, lowering of...- Holbs

New build CAT6 camera cabling through a wall
If you do decide to drill through the block for any reason, drill through the mortar and not the block itself. Easy fixings, later.- Holbs

And so I bought my low voltage company that has been dismissive of any online presence along with today's technology. Email? Webpage? Techy stuff?
working 2x's as hard is... fun :) exciting and tedious. but I wouldn't change anything. I'm still 1/2 technician and 1/2 boss. The stress & drama came up when I had 3 new techs to train. Lots of 'ooops, I didnt know' situations that I feel I have to babysit. Time & experience will help... -

Still here. No one told me I would have 100% no social life as a new business owner that has no experience assuming control of a 20 year old established business. Not so easy :) Heck...bought one of Andy's wifi outdoor spotlights a month ago and still have not even installed it!
