    nvr stops recording when network cable unplugged, how to fix?

    @wozzzzza Those network setting look correct, the NVR's network switch is the 10.1.1.1/24 subnet. Now you'll need to go to the camera management page and either modify their Default Gateway to be 10.1.1.1, or better yet just delete the cameras and re-add them and make sure they are added with...

    nvr stops recording when network cable unplugged, how to fix?

    ^^ THIS ^^ ... doesn't seem like your cameras were added under the subnet of the NVR, but rather under the router's subnet. Therefore the cameras network route is dependent on the connection to the router, hence when you disconnect the network cable the camera has no route to the NVR. Even...

    Been tasked to upgrade cameras and system.

    I agree with @mat200 , the cable job looks bad and they never should have used staples and those sharp 90 degree bends. It almost certainly will have some impact on the cable's performance. However, a single POE camera doesn't use a whole lot of bandwidth compared to the overall capacity of the...

    What does it take to truly identify individuals at night?

    @jlppilot Might want to check out: IPVM Camera Calculator V3 Click "Change Location" and locate your property. It let's you only do up to 4 cameras for free, but I just move the same ones around to get an idea for each area of interest. You can get a good idea of what a face or vehicle might...

    Long range system

    @jlppilot For the link between the two locations I'd definitely look into setting up a long range bridge, the Ubiquity systems seem highly reliable and with high bandwidth. I recall seeing some videos demonstrating their capabilities at several miles away, so 1.5 miles should be no problem...

    General Cost of Installtaion?

    I suggested because they tend to use some top OEM equipment, for me I don't care about the technical support aspect as much as quality equipment and regular firmware updates, as suggested throughout this thread it's definitely a balance of cost, quality, support, and how much hands on...

    General Cost of Installtaion?

    Well you can likely recoup a good portion of the cost of the system by bumping up your sell price a bit (assuming you own your residence), selling it as a feature, or you can just not include the system in the sale and remove the equipment before moving. Obviously you'd have to re-wire a new...

    Penny for your thoughts...

    I'm guessing some moisture/fog in the air mixed with wind blowing in the direction that one camera was facing. With them mounted so high it's more susceptible to weather and wind exposure. I'd suggest adding additional cameras pointing towards critical areas and at different angles/heights...

    I read the guide and wiki and still have questions. Dahua camera selection help.

    @Simcole I agree with others, that more lines and static cams are needed for an ideal setup. Here's what I recommend for the 3 wired locations you identified (Referencing from the image from the end of the driveway looking towards the house): 1) Left position (left side of garage) - This looks...

    FYI - LeChange / Dahua 8x 8MP/4K UHD IP PoE cameras + 16 channel port PoE NVR 2/3TB HDD $899 7/13/18

    Has anyone been able to get Face Detection working post Dahua flash? Both the Cameras and the NVR have the feature available but for some reason I can't get it to work right, I saw some videos of people setting it up but it doesn't detect a face at all when I attempt it. I'm assuming it works...

    Very basic questions IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E (or any IP cam, probably)

    Yeah you may not be able to get #2/3 to work properly since it's not a "Lorex" camera. What method did you use to add the camera to the NVR? Did you just add it as a ONVIF camera? Might want to experiment with the method used to add it.

    General Cost of Installtaion?

    This depends on the manufacturer/supplier of the NVR, in general yes this is usually common feature, however you'll probably want to look for one of the top providers to make sure they have a quality and reliable mobile app. You pretty much don't need one after you setup the NVR, after it's...

    Very basic questions IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E (or any IP cam, probably)

    The camera is probably on another subnet, usually 10.1.1.X within the NVR. Usually you can access the cameras config page within the NVR through some automatic port forwarding on a camera config page, but this might not work since it's an off brand. Your router and computer are usually on...

    Almost there...Hikvision camera on a Dahua NVR

    @tubac I just figured it out on mine :) I'm guessing it will work for you too since mine had a similar behavior to what you described. I'll write up a tutorial of the steps I took. I experimented with many different combinations and it came down to having the right network settings on the camera...
