    NVR Detects Camera Sort of

    Thank you very much for the help. It would appear as though Pale Moon will open the cameras, but nothing else will. This is an extraordinarily slow laptop, so it has difficulty even with that. I think I may be able to make it all work though. I now have another camera out front for a total of...

    NVR Detects Camera Sort of

    Thanks. When I go to Network--> Switch it lists both the IP address and Default Gateway as 10.1.1.1 For some reason, it won't allow for me to connect to the camera via my laptop through the NVR. I get the following message when I attempt it: It looks like the webpage at...

    NVR Detects Camera Sort of

    OK, I picked up a POE tester, and there are a couple wires crossed in the line I ran. I'm wondering if the cable wasn't nicked when I pulled it through the siding and everything. I'll figure that out tomorrow. For the camera problem, it seems like the IP address and Default Gateway are the...

    NVR Detects Camera Sort of

    I believe it said that it couldn't find the IP address whenever I would attempt to open the camera in IE. I won't be able to try it with Pale Moon for a bit as it will be the weekend before I can physically take the camera down and go back and forth with it again. Do you have a suggestion for...

    NVR Detects Camera Sort of

    I picked up a new camera (IPC-T54IR-ZE White S3) from EmpireTechAndy and when I use a ~3ft. ethernet cable, it can be detected by the NVR. It also displays a picture and I can adjust the settings in the NVR. However, when I attempt to use my laptop to access the settings of the camera via...

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    Yes. I have since upgraded the power supply unit, and my replacement illuminator is still going strong. I'm not sure if that's a causation, but I'm inclined to think it may be.

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    The warranty process couldn't have been easier, and the shipping was very prompt. Kudos to the folks who made that happen. I was impressed. I installed the new unit with the same high quality double walled heat shrink tubing on the connector, and also some RTV where the cable goes into the...

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    I pulled down the unit I have a few minutes ago for inspection. The unit is receiving 24v as expected, and it wouldn't power up even with the nicer power supply being used with out the cord extender. Looking at the unit, I can only think it was an internal failure which can happen to any...

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    To their credit, they got right back to me and are issuing a replacement unit. I thought the process would have been more involved. I'll pull the original unit soon for inspection.

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    That's refreshing to hear. Worst case scenario, I have another light to put up which I could use to illuminate my alley more.

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    I bought a better power supply and tried that tonight. It made no difference. I have contacted the manufacturer to see what they have to say.

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    It is protected in the house. I tested it, and it is still putting out 24v. I'll test it at the unit tomorrow, but I bet it's good there too.

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    My Tendelux DI20 IR Illuminator died after only 2 months. I thought it might have been the power supply, but it wasn't that. I'll inspect the unit at the mounting site tomorrow, but since I used high quality dual walled heat shrink tubing when I installed the connector at the unit, I'm 99.99999%...

    Captured: ATM Heist

    It was the other neighbor off camera to the right who called. That is the nicest dog which is in the video. She'll bark, but is way too friendly. I wish my Neapolitan Mastiff was still around. He would have had a grand time last night.

    Captured: ATM Heist

    Thanks for all of the comments, guys. To answer some of the questions: I live in a small town with a very short response time. The police were called and the police were there in a minute or so. My neighbor saw him from her porch and called 911. They got away. Without making this about...
