    POE wired Doorbell - what is the best one?

    Hi everyone, I'm looking to buy a POE doorbell that will automatically sync and hook into my NVR via ethernet. I'm not looking for a huge discussion but wondering what is the best one out there. The camera I have was so quick and easy, I plugged it into the back of my NVR and "boom" showed up...

    Choosing Door bell camera

    EUFY has some good ones and the S330 is maybe a year or so old so it might be on a good sale now. It has built in local storage (not to an NVR) but definitely have a look at those. Hopefully this helps

    P2P Safety & Secure?

    Can anyone chime in? I was under the impression you didn't need to enable P2P to be able to get alerts on your phone, I thought you could leave P2P disabled and use a VPN?

    P2P Safety & Secure?

    Yeah, I know plugging them in directly (POE in NVR) and just using a monitor will keep everything off the Internet. But I want to be able to see the cameras and alerts from the NVR to my phone. That's why I was asking if anyone has a good VPN video tutorial

    P2P Safety & Secure?

    Okay, I thought maybe it was possible to forward everything through a cloud and then use your phone to attach keeping it off your home network. I know their would be a delay but wasn't sure if that was possible. Okay, so it's either VPN off your router or P2P for the DMSS app. Is there a good...

    P2P Safety & Secure?

    I understand the risks if your NVR is on your 192.168 network but if your NVR isn't on your network and on a 1.1.1.8 internal network, it's not possible to gain access to your LAN. It's completely separate and not attached in anyway. The only risk I think would be your phone that might be...

    P2P Safety & Secure?

    Good morning everyone, I have watched a few Youtube videos as well read online and I am very conflicted if I should use P2P vs. a VPN from my router (looks a lot harder to setup). What is everyone's thoughts on this? I would like to get notifications on my phone through DMSS, is this...

    IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 - Not recording every second

    Hi @wittaj I captured a few screen shots from both GUI and NVR settings (below). I'm not sure if this is configured correctly, is there something I need to change so it's not leaving that 2-3 second gap in continuously recording.

    IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 - Not recording every second

    Thanks for the quick reply, not sure about MD and IVS being on at the same time, I will go in this afternoon to make sure they are not. I am using an NVR model NVR8CH-8P-2AI. Thanks for your assistance

    IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 - Not recording every second

    Has anyone ran into an issue when the camera doesn't record every second. Sometimes my camera will jump 2 or 3 seconds and doesn't record continuously. So when a vehicle is driving down the road it will pick it up about 3 houses away and then won't pick it up until after it's passed. Does...

    Asus Router 68U OpenVPN Setup issues :/

    Awesome, I will give this a try. I didn't see anywhere online or in the forums to change this to SHA 1 or SHA 256

    Asus Router 68U OpenVPN Setup issues :/

    Hello, yeah that's how I am doing it. On the ASUS 68U you have to export a file (attached picture) and then email it to my phone and then import it into OPEN VPN

    Asus Router 68U OpenVPN Setup issues :/

    That's funny, I have that same router as well on my other network. Yeah 50.1 for that router. I wonder if it's a limitation on the ASUS 68u
