So this was part of the issue. I had the wrong port number listed. Didn’t choose 81 but a higher port number. Once I put that in and cleared the WAN info out, it started working fully for me. Can’t thank ya enough!

Having a non stop issue accessing cameras remotely since i've been using BI. Every year or two I revisit the idea before failing, getting pissed and settling for lone LAN access. Lemme start by giving an idea of my setup. Running BI5 on a dedicated Dell Optiplex. Running Flawlessly since...

@mikenepa Try this. The address you'll type into the browser is listed above... 192.168.1.08 You'll sign in, make it static and then add it to BI. You'll also have to disconnect all of them except for one and then do them one at a time

Daytime I’m around 46.9 watt Nighttime with IR I’m around 63.2. Night will obviously draw more for longer this time of year given the seasons. This is to power the Switch which powers 7 Hikvision cams as well as one PoE powered Raspberry Pi. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also, why would a 10/100 switch not be compatible with a gigabit switch? The data coming FROM the cameras is a slower speed going to a faster switch.

I'm actually looking at this BVTech now that you've suggested their brand. https://www.amazon.com/BV-Tech-Switch-Gigabit-Ethernet-uplink/dp/B01MQHD54L/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1511755949&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=16+port+poe+injector&psc=1 Whats the energy efficiency like on these?

Hey all. Its been awhile since i've posted but everything within my system has been running great and thats in no small part to all the information i've learned from this site. With that being said i'm looking to upgrade some hardware and would love to hear opinions from others before I spend...

Grab a tester. Less then 10 bucks and worth their weight in gold. Easiest way to tell if it's the camera or wiring but given you've terminated three times, it may be a camera issue. Or the port in your switch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Added another camera earlier today and found out I couldn't access the Web interface and was going crazy trying to fix it. Thanks for sharing! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Will depend on the brand as well as output and the diffuser. Don't assume one cheap illuminator with say 6 larger lights will be better then a more expensive one with say a grid of 30 small lights. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've read a lot of people here who have said run one wire, then as you're running it tape a string to that so when it's completely fished, you just need attach the next wire to the bottom of that string, and then repeat with another string and the next wire and so on. Most here recommend a...

Don't mount them right next to the cameras as well. The washout he's describing is easy to avoid. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I haven't personally tried it but I believe the measurements are off, I believe the Dahua is a bit larger then the Hik Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also, I bought one of these when I was halfway thru and wish I had it from the getgo. It makes sure you don't cut into the wires when you're stripping the thread and provides clean and clear cuts. Def worth the investment. Universal Cable Stripper Cutter for Flat or Round UTP Cat5 Cat6 Wire...

Plantium EZ are overpriced for what they provide. Get a regular crimper and RJ45's, take a foot or two of cable and practice. Terminate and then cut off about two inches and do it again. By the fourth or fifth time you'll be fine. It's much simpler once you do it a few times, don't get...
