    Can't move IPC-E32241F-AS-M to different VLAN

    So, as strange as this issue is, it seems to go away when I connect the camera directly to the L3 switch. There's no good reason for that as trunking is correct as is VLAN assignment and port VLAN labeling. But for now, at least it looks like the issue is identified. I think I'll spend the...

    Camera placement recommendations for new-to-me home

    Thanks for the suggestions! I do have a doorbell cam planned for where you have one the right-side blue dot, and have a package-cam planned. But I'll relocate it based on the recommendation of "eye-level" near the left blue dot so that it can play double-duty of "face-cam" and "package-cam" -...

    Camera placement recommendations for new-to-me home

    Thanks, I did mount a camera on a pole to do some testing at my current house, but unfortunately I don't have the luxury of time to do it for the next one. I'll need to take my best guesses and live the results. I had a mini-dome wedge planned for the packages on the front porch but hadn't...

    Camera placement recommendations for new-to-me home

    @Webfont @wittaj @The Automation Guy I did manage to find a new app that provides a trial for up to 5 cameras - not sure if it's well-known around here or not: IP Video System Design Tool - Video Surveillance Design Apps | JVSG I've spent a lot of time trying to figure this out - hence the...

    Camera placement recommendations for new-to-me home

    Thanks for the response and insightful questions - and tolerance to my ignorance. I managed to get a poor quality satellite pic from Google Earth - sorry it's not better, but the best I could get. The yellow outline is of the property. The red outline is the garage. Goals: Be able identify...

    Camera placement recommendations for new-to-me home

    Hello, I'm moving into a new-to-me home and would really appreciate the hive-mind recommendations for camera placements. I'm attaching 3 diagrams including recommendations from installer #1, installer #2, and my own ideas. The house is located on a quiet street and lighting is fairly poor, but...

    Eyeonet, anyone?

    Thank you all for the advice! I'll be skipping his cameras and getting Color4K-T's and T5442's, mostly at 3.6mm so I can get a bit more range in exchange for a smaller FOV.

    Eyeonet, anyone?

    The last time I did this I had them do the runs and mounting, but I bought and supplied the equipment. I was hoping my new contractor would be better at this than I am, since they have done so many more houses. I have asked for the detailed plan, but have not yet received it. I am quite off-put...

    Eyeonet, anyone?

    Yes, the contractor has agreed to install any equipment I choose. I just worry that if there are issues he'll point the finger at me. For some reason, he hates Dahua. I bought the system in my current house from EmpireTechAndy, and it's been great, except for the occasional camera drop-out...

    Eyeonet, anyone?

    Thank you both for the research and responses... not what I was hoping for... it definitely casts doubt on the subcontractor (and the contractor, too). If anyone has any first-hand experiences with the relabeled product, they would still be much appreciated!

    Eyeonet, anyone?

    Hello, I'm working with a general contractor to renovate my new-to-me home, and his surveillance sub-contractor has recommended a brand called Eyeonet. I can't find much information on it anywhere (including these forums), but he swears that these cameras out-perform Dahua and Hikvision...

    IPC-T5442TM-AS Support in Synology Surveillance Station

    I just received my IPC-T5442TM-AS and *seem* to have gotten them working using the latest firmware and the [ONVIF] selection instead of Dahua Generic. Firmware: IPC-HX4XXX-Volt_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.800.0000000.10.R.191118.zip Note: I have only had a chance to do 5 minutes of testing, and I...

    Thank you so much for checking! I only have a drop down for 0 and 180. I'll try changing the firmware.

    Review-Dahua IPC-HDW2231RP-ZS Starlight Camera-Varifocal

    I recently purchased a HDW2231R-ZS (not sure if/how that's different from the HDW2231RP-ZS, but they seem to both be referenced together in the Wiki), and can't seem to find a way to put it into portrait mode. The settings show options for "Mirror" (on/off) and "Flip" (0/180), but "Flip" doesn't...
