    PoE Switch Suggestion List

    @slippyb - I think wittaj had a typo and meant to say: “Preferred method would be to keep all the cameras off the same network that your internet is on and connect all the cameras to the same switch AND connect that to the BI computer with one internet port and the BI computer connected to the...

    I’m about to leave town for several days but I plan to implement your 2) suggestions when I get back. Stay tuned for updates (and I’m sure another question or two :) ). THANKS AGAIN!!!

    VLAN design example

    Ok. Awesome. Thanks for the quick reply. I still need to figure out how I’m going to view the cameras but I’m thinking that as long as I have access to the BI PC from my home vlan that will be sufficient. I will be able to control my BI PC from my office to do camera config from it so at this...

    VLAN design example

    @reflection (and any others with experience) - I know I went MIA for awhile but I've finally found a little time to work on this. I got the switch running and one camera working in a test scenario. Here's the outline of what i've done so far. I'm slowly learning the Cisco CLI commands but I...

    VLAN design example

    Yep. I’m really excited to get it going. Hoping it will easily handle my ever growing home network needs for years to come. I’ve never had a managed switch at home so I’m looking forward to learning and taking more control of things...

    VLAN design example

    Thanks a lot @reflection. I’ve decided to go with the vlan-tagging. I will start with configuring the vlans on the switch. I have your instructions on doing that. And I have decided not to implement any virtual machines on the BI PC. I am just going to get a dedicated Qotom box and run...

    PoE Switch Suggestion List

    @reflection can you direct me to the post where you go into more detail? I just got me this on eBay for $110!: Cisco WS-C3750X-48PF-S 48-Port Gigabit IP Base Switch w/ 1x C3KX-PWR-1100WAC I’m about to set it up. I think I may set up the inter-vlan routing sooner than later... But remind me...

    Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+

    So I ordered 5 cams from someone other than Andy. Price difference meant I literally got a free camera. Free DHL shipping was included after I negotiated for it. I'll let you guys know how it goes. Hope I don't get banned from the forum here lol

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Thanks for the input @David L . We plan to have our entryway covered with a turret IPcam saving to BI so it's really not so much a matter of recording video of events. Though 180 FOV and SD Card storage does sound nice as added footage. I will monitor what others say here. We really don't...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Wow this thread is looooong! So what's the consensus on this doorbell? If I am buying strictly for the 2-way audio (intercom) feature will I be disappointed? I am setting up several other IP cams and a blue iris PC. We currently have a Ring Pro doorbell. It's OK but we find the best thing...

    Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+

    I see lots of the HDW5442-TM-AS cameras for quite a bit cheaper on Aliexpress. Are these different than the camera reviewed here? Example: US $112.79 15% OFF|Dahua 4MP IP Camera IPC HDW5442TM AS IR50m Built in MICIP67 POE Micro SD memory CCTV camera Smart Detection supported|Surveillance...

    Review IPC-T5442TM-AS-LED (Full Color, Starlight+)

    Has anyone figured out or made an educated guess on how many lumens of light the LEDs put out? I don’t see it mentioned in the specs…

    Review IPC-T5442TM-AS-LED (Full Color, Starlight+)

    ok thanks for all the info. I may try one of these in a dark area where I don’t need light all night but would like it on motion. If I do I’ll try to get it working via hubitat motion sensors driving the light. I might be able to skip BI and have Hubitat issue the HTTP commands direct. The...

    3990X & Blueirs thoughts ?

    OK yea that's what I thought. I don't think I'll have any of these special use cases anytime soon. I do have 1 Gb/sec fiber internet but I'm thinking having 1G ethernet throughout my LAN will be sufficient for the life of this switch. And I guess I can always buy the 10G module later if...
