They are hardwired, however I originally ordered cca wire so I’m using that for testing and have good solid copper for the actual install. My switch is off brand as well, I intend to replace it with a ubiquity edge switch in the near future.

i should’ve checked the FPS from direct web feed, I’ll definitely do that if it becomes an issue again. The bottom screenshot is from BI status window, I just added cam labels and lines. I think it was a BI related bug, I am on 5.3.1.0 may go to 5.3.1.1 or 5.3.0.3. It was working perfectly, then...

Yeah it could be a bug I suppose. It was working great, updated the firmware and it started happening. Raising the bitrate up still couldn’t pull 20fps, but had no issue at the lowest setting. I think it stopped doing that now. Just had to do a fresh install of BI because my timeline vanished...

I found setting that give me 20fps, but i am getting dropped frames. What typically gives better results VBR or CBR, I am not concerned with disk space so i assume CBR would be better? I have two amcrest cams setup like below, for reference cam #2 and #3: \ Cam #1 is a 5831r-ze Cam #4 is a...

I dont think I fully understand the bitrate settings, but on my 5831r-ze any bitrate setting above 4096Kb/s significantly drops the frame rate. It cannot reach 15-20fps. Shouldn’t a higher bitrate increase fps? Also the resolution is higher than my other cameras, and all other aspects (fps...

I have a couple questions. Regarding traffic, I am running a duel NIC setup, since my cams are segregated on a different lan port should I only be concerned with traffic on that port? Running wireshark without adjusting anything only shows traffic between cams and an ip on the same subnet. On my...

Ah okay, I thought that may be what the “E” was for but wasn’t sure. Thanks

Anyone have any insight into why the IPC-HDW5442TM-AS was discontinued and replaced with IPC-HDW5442TM-ASE?

So far it looks like BI and OpenVPN are working flawlessly on iOS 14. I think some of the vpn bugs may have been worked out in the new version as well. A new feature I think is pretty cool is that apps cannot just connect to your local network, they must be granted permission. OpenVPN did not...

Ah okay thanks guys

I just went to browse Andy’s aliexpress store, but it’s empty now. Is this something that happens on occasion, maybe updating listings or something of the sort?

I should clarify, I’ve made no changes to the firewall on the router. I have allowed everything for BI through the windows firewall, and even tried shutting down all firewalls. My second NIC (KillerLan) has always been buggy, it took a while to get the driver to function. There are some...

Yeah I followed the duel NIC setup guide exactly. My cams are not detected at all that I can see on the router side. I cannot access the cams from my iPhone using the cams ip. I believe that’s all as it should be. However when on the WiFi network with my phone I should be able to access the BI...

I do have a DDNS setup and it looks to be added into the OpenVPN setup file. I have not done anything with certificates, is that something i should do? here is an image of my VPN settings if it helps.

Thank you, that is nice and straight forward. Okay so time sync should now be a non-issue in connecting for me. I have my OpenVPN server setup on my router and phone, but i am only able to access my camera feeds on my BI pc. On my iphone i cannot access the cam feed when on cellular network...
