It will depend on if your router supports it. It’s called site-to-site VPN. I use Peplink routers in three locations and have all three of them running in a site-to-site VPN so I can access all of them from any of the three locations. Do a search on site to site vpn for your specific brand router.

Yup. More light.

It can be done. I’d VPN the two routers together so you don’t have to use port forwarding. Then you’d want secondary backup internet at both locations (especially the one hosting the BI server). So long as you have enough upstream bandwidth at the location that is sending to the remote BI...

Perhaps Alert tab for specific camera and then "On Alert".

I don’t understand your question. You will have to have another license of BI to use it concurrently at two locations. Are you asking about hosting one BI instance at your home (or cloud) and then having all cameras from both locations connect back to a single instance? That’s a bad idea. If...

I have dozens of these damn brown anoles all over my front and back patio shitting on everything. I hate these fuckers. Give me the green ones any day.

My Z12 does this as well. I think it’s a gain issue. I’ve never found a fix for it other than zooming out.

You talking about the screw that tightens down so you can set the placement of where the camera is pointing to? I didn't have issues with the screw but I do have issues on how the camera mount "teeth" align. I've noticed when tightening down that screw, the camera will move some from where I...

CBR? VBR?

Where are you? I'm up in the panhandle (PCB).

Block them from connecting to the internet and putting them on their own VLAN is normally sufficient. You can block inter vlan routing for that vlan and see if you can still access them. That would further insulate that vlan from the rest of your network.

You are showing ONVIf alerts in blue iris in your last post above. It’s is working

Well your settings look close to mine except I use intrusion boxes. You might try deleting the cam from BI and then re-adding it.

Yes. I wouldnt own them if they couldn’t. I use one exclusively for alerting me to people walking onto my driveway.

Yes. I've never seen an issue with Dahua cams like you are having unfortunately.

Now that is the right amount of zoom!

There are 3 different places you have to enable ONVIF in BI. Your pics in post #5 and #7 are two of them. You also need to go to the camera Alert tab and select for When "This camera is triggered" for alerts from ONVIF events. Also, back on the Trigger tab, when you hit the Configure button...

If you go down to D1 on your sub streams you will see a massive improvement. If you are running your substeams at 1MP/2MP then why have substreams turned on at all? Might as well disable them and just use a single stream.

It's been a while since I took one of these apart but is there no foam ring built into the dome either?

Gonna be tiny dust motes on the inside of the dome. You'd have to take it down, take the dome off, and clean it with a lint free cloth.

The physical media doesn't matter. One single cable can carry thousands/millions of VLANs. It's a limitation of the switch not the cable itself. For an AP, you assigned VLANs to the SSIDs. So you would have SSID "abc" on VLAN 1 and SSID "xyz" on VLAN 2. The switch port that AP connects to...

It’s dust/junk in the dome. I used to have those cameras years ago. Switched them all out for Dahua 5442s.

Id try and reset them again. I’ve never seen a default Dahua cam that didn’t present the “choose your country” and ”create a password” boxes upon initial login.

Where were these purchased? Factory reset Dahua cams will present you with the country/date page when connected to them via a browser and not a login screen. Sounds like they are not factory new cams.

Smart Ir has issues with older cams. You have something reflecting and it’s trying adjust the IR emitters to compensate. Could be bugs or anything

Its click bait since it Isn’t clear. I saw it the opposite.

No reputable member here posted anything to the sort of “default camera values work fine for LPR”. Id challenge you to find a post saying otherwise… You have plenty of information now on proper settings. You have been asked to show us your camera settings. Come back when you have done this so...

It’s total click bait to say wire nuts are a “hazard”. They are the gold standard of wire splicing and have been for decades. Anything can be a hazard if done incorrectly. I refuse to watch a video that is that misleading right from the thumbnail.

Turn off Smart/auto IR and set manual illumination to 50% or so. See if that makes a difference.

I’ve used them. They are fine but way more expensive that traditional wire nuts.
