Paid a contractor to run Cat6 for security cameras, access points, and wall jacks. I'm not getting the speed I expected and I see remnants of ethernet cable from the previous owner. How can I definitively tell which cables and wall jacks are Cat 6?

Does IDMSS Lite offer playback? Doesn't seem to work for me. Do I need the paid version for playback and saving favorite views? I have to load the cameras each time with the free version.

What about playback? Don't you have to buy the Pro version to utilize playback? How how do you set this up so you dont have to load the cameras each time?

Which do you guys recommend for Dahua NVR remote viewing and playback IOS app? Thanks!

Which 16 channel NVR would you guys recommend with Dahua Starlight cameras? Thank you!

I'm interested in this as well. I'd like to run a Dahua 16 channel with another server running Milestone. How do I do this?

Those of you that have purchased the starlight cameras, what wall mount would you recommend for residential where there is no roof overhang to protect the camera? Prefer an aesthetically pleasing solution over looking like your neighborhood bank. These are the cameras I'm planning to get...
