    Need Help - Stuck at Step One

    I reckon I'll see if I can find an inexpensive windows box and give this a try. Fingers crossed. Thanks for the guidance.

    Need Help - Stuck at Step One

    Oh, no, I didn't grok that. Thanks for spelling it out. These were recommended by Andy, so I figured they were the good stuff. I'll formulate a proper question with my wishlist/requirements and come back to the forum. Thanks!

    Need Help - Stuck at Step One

    I seem to be having a very different Dahua experience than the rest of you. I've changed over my entire network to be on the 192.168.1.* range. I reset my cameras. They still do not show up as 192.168.1.108, but individually show up as 192.168.1.159 and 192.168.1.160. These IPs show up on the...

    Need Help - Stuck at Step One

    tangent and mat200...y'all may be on to something. I am definitely seeing a device show up on my network when I plug the camera in via ethernet. A network tool (Fing) identifies it as an IP camera, as well (by MAC address, I'd guess). Also, I can ping the IP when the camera is plugged in, but...

    Need Help - Stuck at Step One

    I need help connecting my IP cameras to my network. After studying up here, I ordered 2 Dahua cameras from Andy: IPC-HFW1435S-W. Despite hours of troubleshooting, I can’t seem to get them to come online. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m on a Mac. I’ve installed SmartPSS and the Config Tool. On my...
