Thanks again wittaj :) This is the first time i learned something about f-stop :)

Yes, I'm in the philippines :) I do have an email conversation with Andy. He has suggested IPC-HDW3449H-AS-PV though I think it has no IR and with similar cmos sensor size as 3849. Will maybe need a permanent light in the area (?) At least, I have 2 options now that avoids additional taxes...

Thanks wittaj and ludshed for the warning and recommendations. Got the reply from Empiretech regarding IPC-HDW2249T-S-PV. Unfortunately, "This camera cannot be sold because it does not have FCC certification and is not available in stock. " Any other recommendations besides the 3849 that is...

Wow, thanks dudemaar :) I have spent many hours during free times searching for but not finding viable options. I sent an email to empiretech/Andy (sales02@empiretech01.com) to ask for some information (price, etc) on the first one before deciding. :) Regards, Gilbert

Thanks bigredfish and tigerwillow1 ! - Does anyone have other recommendations for a POE camera w/ motion detection and built-in speaker ? - Any option below around 170 USD? We pay customs taxes for items over maybe 178 USD. Empire Tech's 4k-x looks good but at 249 usd (in amazon), my...

Some updates: I ended up w/ dahua nvr/cameras and an old edgerouter. However, I could not get openvpn to work because i don't have a static ip. I don't have fiber internet (so no static IP and probably using cgnat). With cgnat, I don't think I can use dynamic dns (?) I tried zerotier but...

After some research, it is likely my internet provider is using cgnat. Does this mean i cannot use ddns ? Do I use zerotier w/ edgerouter openvpn ? I'm so confused with how to access the nvr and cameras remotely/securely :)

Hi, Is it possible to use ipcamtalk's ipctddns.com with edge router ? Can someone point me to the steps ? edgerouter seems to be requiring a login credential but i don't see a log in credential when setting up ddns in ipctddns.com. Thanks! Regards, Gilbert

Hi, I got dahua nvr5216-4ks2 and some cheap old model cameras w/ microphone but no speakers (DH-IPC-HDW2230T-AS-S2). How can I run some recording to act as deterrent like when motion detection is triggered ? So far, I googled and searched: ** A. is my understanding of these options...

Thanks for all the recommendations !

Thanks! :)

Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I've been thinking of getting a UPS for the cameras but I'm worried with the risk of fire, mentioned in some threads here and other forums. While searching, I came across some that say sodium ion batteries are safer but I also saw some that say that it has...

Thanks Mike !

Found the discussions about this in the forums. Is this correct ? cameras | (poe switch) <---> nvr (use ntp here ?) | router w/ ddwrt (firewall) w/ openvpn | wireless router (internet access point) (is this needed or do i just connect the internet model to the router w/ ddrt ?) | internet
