    How often do you directly access NVR ?

    Exporting video to a USB flash drive. No way would I ever put a NVR in an attic...between hot and cold the temperatures are just too extreme. Even a POE switch would be iffy.

    Subtle LPR camera in an urban/suburban area?

    You could certainly use a PTZ with a long zoom to do it, but then you lose the versatility of using the PTZ for other things. I saw some pics on here a couple years ago of someone hiding a PTZ up in a soffit. If you can hide a bullet camera behind a gutter it might be a good use case. I used to...

    IPC-Color4M-TL

    A lot of the cameras will allow you to flip the camera to corridor mode in the camera GUI. Better to do it there than the NVR if the camera supports it. You're probably better off with a 3.6mm lens anyway, as the minimum in-focus distance is going to be higher with a 6mm lens than a 3.8mm lens.

    Battery to run camera 24/7 and simply replace battery?

    Maybe something like this? It might be too small for your needs but if you can set up the solar panels, you might be able to run with just them depending on your power needs.

    Becoming a Cop?

    Don't bother, unless you're looking to do just ten years and be done. Even then there's a myriad of reasons why you'd quit before then ten year mark. Unless someone REALLY wants to be a career cop and ends up in a great department, typically what happens is around year eight they want out, but...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    I bought a black Reolink POE doorbell more than six months ago that I never installed. That one might end up at my back door and a new white one with the 3:4 aspect ratio may end up at my front door. :lmao:

    VLANS over point to point bridge

    The ports the cameras are on should be configured for untagged VLAN 40 as the cameras certainly don't support VLAN tagging. I can't imagine any circumstance which you would want an end device to be running tagged; only if it's a device that should be on multiple VLANs such as another switch, a...

    Dahua IP Camera, no IVS events inside camera log.

    You have to use IE with the plugin to see the IVS toggle button in the live and playback screens in the camera interface. I haven't found the IVS trigger events in the camera log either.

    Using Spotter Cameras to direct a PTZ where to look in an NVR or Blue Iris and setting a spotter cam as a priority in Blue Iris

    With mine in alert actions (or trigger if you aren't confirming alerts with Deepstack) in the spotter cam, I use a wait command and then a go to previous preset command.

    High network activity on one of my IP cams. Should I be concerned?

    Check the destination IP of the traffic. 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255, 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255, and 172.16.0.0 to 172.32.255.255 are all private IPs not routable over the open Internet.

    A good, free mail server to send BI notifications from?

    I use it for server status updates sent to my phone over email to carrier SMS, not for all alerts since I have the BI app on my phone for push notifications and remote access. But it works just fine with BI.

    Poor IR contrast in new Tennessee license plates

    Two questions: how far is the illuminator from the camera and are they at the same angle? If it's not very close to it and aimed in the same spot, you won't get the IR light bouncing off the plate back into the camera lens. You can test this by standing right next to a floodlight and looking at...
