    In Home Display Panel

    I was at a housewarming party this weekend, and the owner had a little tablet looking display near his kitchen that displayed the time. Upon touching it, it immediately switched view to show thumbnails of nine of his security cameras. I asked him about it, and he said it was a "control 4"...

    Review-Dahua IPC-K35A 3mp Cube Camera

    How are you guys configuring these? I cannot get a video feed on mine through the web; it says I need a plug-in. Tiny cam also doesn't work with it. I get a failed connection, check password error. All my other dahuas work, just not the k35a

    Dahua mounting questions

    Dahua mounting questions

    I've been reading here for a few weeks, have gone through the wiki and cliffs notes, but still have some questions. My house is prewired with cat6 at various locations around the perimeter. At each location, there is a single gang box with the cabling stuffed inside. Can I mount a turret...

    Requesting some advice on proposed network topology

    Thank you, biggen, for the detailed feedback. You make a lot of great points and have given me a lot of good ideas to consider. I do like the idea of a flat network; it's just so much simpler.

    Thanks so much for the reply. I have additional questions, inline below in red. edit: sorry for the formatting and inclusion of the reddit link inline. I'm not used to this board, and I can't get my post to format in the way I wanted it. 1. So a managed switch would allow you to create...

    Requesting some advice on proposed network topology

    Hi all, Long time, first time here. I've been looking at this stuff off and on for a number of years now, and have recently gotten serious about putting together a good, upgradeable camera system for my house. After reading the great advice here, I'm pretty ready to pull the trigger on the...
