    connecting remotely through double nat

    Thought I had this resolved by having the client switch to a business account with a static IP, but hughesnet is telling him that he will have to buy a new dish and modem for ~$600 and they will not refund him for his week old set up- so that is now out of the question. It appears I'm going to...

    connecting remotely through a double NAT

    Hughesnet controls them. Basically from what I see on their q&a is port forwarding doesn't work period. I did find out tho that contrary to what is posted on the website that they do now offer a static IP with their business service, so they are going to switch over to that. That's why I...

    blue iris isn't helping me

    a few other things to try if needed- first is try changing to a different monitor / screen resolution, if you are currently 1920x1080 try going 1280 x 720. also under your advanced screen settings then Monitor try changing your refresh rate, you may have to uncheck "hide modes that cannot be...

    SD Recording question

    it's all in your camera setup, how well you have motion detection set up, how often it triggers, etc. 64GB will be plenty! just make sure the camera can support an SD card that large. I ran 8GB cards in the cameras at my old house, they were cheap to replace and usually held a week or more...

    Quick PoE switch questions

    as mentioned already, if you can get away with that zyxel then I would probably go that route, that is a nice unit and its also gigabit. I posted regarding PoE injection simply due to the catch-all subject line of this thread ;). not everyone needs more than 2/3/4/5/6 ports of PoE to justify...

    I can answer both actually... if those were my only two choices I would take my chances with the Kia, I will not own another Benz outside of warranty, our prior '14 ML was one of the biggest pos's I have ever had. i will have been in IT for 16 years as of June 8, I'm currently a systems...

    Quick PoE switch questions

    I've actually founded it easier to use an 8 port inline PoE injector. you can find these on ebay for about $30, it gives you the ability to run it with any switch you want at whatever speed the switch is and you are not limited to a few year old used business take out switch. you can do two of...

    Camera positions on my home

    that's a tough one as it looks like it would be a struggle to wire, short of running wires down the side of the house which would look tacky, you are going to be likely pulling baseboards and fishing cable through the walls. the height of the cameras now give a decent general overview of the...

    High CPU Useage on 22 Camera build system

    This particular one is a HP SB800 G2 mini tower otherwise known as a prodesk 800 g2. It's been a while since I have been on that side of the IT dept, but can say that I saw similar setups in the elitedesk sf800g1's and g2 ultra small case machines, as well as the older Lenovo E series. a bit...

    High CPU Useage on 22 Camera build system

    bumped to 8GB RAM, processor dropped to 33-36% and is no longer beating the crap out of the page file, system memory is holding steady at 76% consumed. out of curiosity I went back into the bios and dropped the allocated video memory down to the default 32MB it shipped to me with, booted it...

    Memory is ordered, will be here tomorrow. The tool does work if you uninstall the current provided HP driver before running the tool, if you attempt to run it with the HP driver installed it will throw a msg saying to check with the computer vendor for their latest driver. Windows was...

    High CPU Useage on 22 Camera build system

    just wanted to add my experience here in hopes that it may help someone else experiencing this issue, I have a 16 camera system consisting of primarily 2-4MP hikvisions and 3 d1 cameras feeding in through an Axis box. all are set to 15fps, 4096 bit rate, motion detection and direct to disk...
