    any tp link omada experts

    Thank you. It was driving me crazy. I suspected it might the be SFP cable so I connected the two switches with an ethernet and forgot to remove the SFP cable!! I also set the GUI to RTSP as you suggested. When I realized the SFP cable was still in, I removed it and rebooted. Now everyhing...

    any tp link omada experts

    I had some issues ( after 3 years) with my Synology system so I decided to move to the omada for its vpn capability. I have an ERM702 router, an SG229 switch and a TL-Sg323428MP switch. The switches are connected via SFP. Of course for 5 months of beginner's luck, everything worked...

    DUAL NIC and Managed Switches ( POE)

    Thanks for everyone for the advice. SO here is my proposed setup. I plan to use the TL-SG3428MP POE switch for the cams only. I can connect the two switches to the router via SFP switches. My question: I have a DUAL nic on my dedicated Blue IRIS PC. If I connect the omada as below (...

    DUAL NIC and Managed Switches ( POE)

    I am now moving to the TP link omada system. I have my plus IRIS on my dedicated computer and have DUAL NICS in place. The POE cameras are on the 2nd NIC and isolated from the internet. My question is can I use one large POE switch with VLAN to manage netwoks on different LANS? In...

    has any seen the elder system for LPR?

    I ordered the LPR437B-IR from Andy. The refurbished ones were too tempting of a price. My other question is whether folks have had better luck using it with the BI LPR or using the NVR5216-16P-4KS2E ?

    has any seen the elder system for LPR?

    Thanks. Probably better off with LPR437B-IR from Dahua. I can repurpose my old NVR5216-16P-4KS2E and support Andy. And maybe update the NVR. In PA, plates are still on the rear only and we are in a residential street. SO expectations are not high. The Blue iris system gives me good...

    CAT6A recommendations

    I havw my synology router in the basement and was going to add 3 additional cable runs ( 2 to the first floor and 1 to the 3rd floor). I like more hardwire that wireless though the synology works well ( except for the fact that you can's seperate VLANs on the Synology. I was thinking of just...

    Empire Andy/Daua PTZ425DB-AT reset button location??

    Thanks that seemed to work. That is the good news. The bad news is that I can ping the camera and get the following:. I get a reply periodically and then get general failure. I think the problem may be with the poe connector on the camera. It was my bad since it was not waterproofed as well as...

    Empire Andy/Daua PTZ425DB-AT reset button location??

    I bought one as a spare and then one as a primary camera. Of course the primary seemed to have changed it's IP address so I am trying to do a reset but can't find the reset button? Any help appreciated. The dahua/empire cameras work but it's always painful to change the IP address when they...

    Big feral cat or mountain lion

    Thanks all. I also think it is just a feral cat after reviewing several times but it made me think twice. We have a lot of visiting cats but this one was much much larger and the hind section was very muscular. Moutain lions are supposed to be extinct in PA although we ( and several...

    Big feral cat or mountain lion

    We caught this on the Dahua. This is the only site I know that has expertise in identifying objects. I didnt have the PTZ auto tracking enabled. Sure looks larger than any feral cat that I have seen.

    Thanks. I tried that too The interface in general is slow. But no change since the total factory reset. I had this same issue with an older Dahua PTZ as well. I never could sort it out.

    Thank you so much. I did the full factory reset and deleted from blue iris. I have the cam on the 2nd NIC. I can see the cam find using the CONFIG Tool but when I ask blue iris to find it, it wont I can manually add with the IP address. Still works on the cam directly But I can't move the...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Since I lost the lottery, I purchased a SD4A425DB-HNY from Andy's Amazon store. I haven't mounted it yet but so far it looks good. I do have a question. The PTZ works fine on the camera interface but doesnt seem to work on UI3 or on the blue iris interface? I did enable the interface in...

    Is $75-$100 per hour FAIR for Camera/Alarm Subcontract Installation rates

    It is hard to find installers. I have 7 POE cams already "installed" temporarily However waterproofing and mounting are not my skillsets. ( Although after reading Tony R's fantastic article, I feel better!) I have 3 PTZ and 4 non-PTZ. I got 2 estimates. Both were $3000 for the cams with...
