    New 7 Camera Install

    flynreelow, at my place I've run all network cables myself. Not fun or glamorous, and not too difficult if you like to hang out in a crawl space or attic for hours. For the neighbor's install, they're doing a full home remodel and the walls an attic are currently open and accessible. They are...

    New 7 Camera Install

    I have 2 questions for the crew here. 1) My system still has 3 2331's (2018) and a 5231 that are serving their purpose (back and side yard dog monitors), but definitely dated. Knowing the 5442's are EOL (and pricey now), would this group suggest I replace now? I have the cash. Or should I wait...

    Setup to allow NetTime to Work

    Not sure what happened. I reinstalled NetTime and bam, all times synced. Thanks for the time folks! Always appreciated and cannot praise this forum enough. I may not have many posts, but I probably have 100's of hours of my life with you guys in front of me.

    Setup to allow NetTime to Work

    Thanks Mike. Yea, that's how I'm setup. This has taken on a new flavor. I enable debug level logging in NetTime, and see each camera reach in for a time. What is not happening, is the timestamp updating in the cameras. Overlays are for sure being added at the camera level and not BI. Outbound...

    Setup to allow NetTime to Work

    New PC is the same IP address as the old PC. The cameras just don't seem to have a connection. I really don't want to roll timestamp into BI.

    Setup to allow NetTime to Work

    I recently migrated my BI server to a new Win11 PC (from Win10). I just noticed that the cameras are not syncing with NetTime? I dug around here for a bit, turned off the Win11 time service, opened UDP port 123 in Win firewall, start/stop the service, did camera restarts, and I still can't get...

    First LPR Layout. Feedback?

    Hey folks, I'm wondering if I can get some expert feedback on my first LPR install. I have an appt building where we are having some trash dumping issues and need "proof" to have law enforcement intervention. There is only one way into this parking area, speeds will be “slow”, and area...

    Dahua Relay Out - Wireless Door Sensor - Z-Wave Rule-Lights on!!!!

    Thanks @Smilingreen. Much appreciated. I've got a few 12V relays about and will be pulling the cam down to validate. Like you, after some thought, I'm wondering if the output is only powered when the cam uses external power (i.e. not POE). Tinkering will tell. Space is limited to my camera...

    Dahua Relay Out - Wireless Door Sensor - Z-Wave Rule-Lights on!!!!

    My older Qolsys IQ2 panel took a dump after 6 years, so I updated to an IQ4 last week. I've purchased a few door/window sensors (wireless for those unaware) that have terminals for external contacts and I've setup a few around the house to be "monitor only" (i.e. side gate opens triggering...

    Axis vs. Dahua

    I ran quite a few Axis IP PTZ cameras starting back in the beginning (around 2011). Now these were $3K-4K cameras at 720P resolution and simply amazing for the time. They were great in the day and accessible in the US. Now I know of Andy, I my entire flet is Dahua and I'll never go back.

    Andy, I have request for the Dahua engineers, if it is possible to do

    Just use your signature. It lists all your cameras.
