    Unintended uses...

    I had a similar idea, to do that with a fisheye camera. Wonder what it would look like. Given that I live in a big city with associated light pollution, I never bothered :).

    Help me spend $20,000 (new information in post #23)

    I'd add more lighting, white and IR, add SD cards to each camera.

    Can't find settings for VLAN on my Dahua Cameras

    This query has come up here before. I don't quite understand why you'd need a Vlan ID setting on a camera. If you're using Vlans then I would expect the Vlan(s) to be configured on the switch. All devices connected to ports assigned to a particular Vlan will inherently belong to that Vlan with...

    What high spec server would you choose for 50 cameras?

    My take is it just means keeping the traffic separated, how it's done is debatable. It can be done using Vlans on existing switches (IT department can allocate some ports across switches if they are POE capable), or an easier way is to have unmanaged switches used exclusively for POE/CCTV. In...

    What high spec server would you choose for 50 cameras?

    Cameras were distributed across multiple switches but ultimately, they aggregated via fiber to a single switch and to multiple recorders. Teaming can also be set up on the server(s), I didn't need do that.

    What high spec server would you choose for 50 cameras?

    I disagree, A gigabit network will be ok. I've setup 150 camera networks with no 10Gb switches. For high performance storage, RAID 10 can be used. To optimize the network simply have all cameras dedicated to a single NIC on the server, use a different NIC for the business network, similar to how...

    how to setup network on 2nd router

    Above solution is messy because you have double NATing. I don't know if this idea will work but may be worth investigating - See if the owner's router has a DMZ port. You can connect your router to that and that may effectively give your router internet connectivity on your WAN interface. It...

    It's good that you have that mindset, and in Australia and UK it may be less risky. Too many guns in the US and unfortunately it's the wrong type of people carrying them.

    Ok, lets talk PC-Based recording!

    For large open areas you are better off configuring constant record at full resolution and frame rate, or reduced frame rate/reduced resolution until motion is detected, at which point you record at Full resolution/Full frame rate. This should be possible on almost any platform.

    Dahua - SmartPSS unable to connect

    Topology doesn't sound good to me, NVR and cameras should be in same subnet.

    Dahua - SmartPSS unable to connect

    So the NVR has 2 interfaces with the cameras on the 2nd NIC ?. These won't have internet access which is fine. Check the setup of the 2nd NIC because sometimes it may be setup up in fault tolerant mode rather than multi LAN. What IP range are the cameras using ?

    Dahua - SmartPSS unable to connect

    I assume you're trying to use SmartPSS externally back into your NVR ?. The recommended way to connect remotely is to use a VPN. I'm not familiar with the Unify gear but I'm pretty sure it supports remote access VPN. To use Smart PSS, the NVR needs to be 'online' via the P2P function. Has your...

    Axis P3245-LVE substream configuration

    I'm not a BI user, but I have used this camera before. Just an aside, the username for Axis cameras is root rather than admin, unless you've added a second user ?

    Camera recommendations for inside garage?

    Make sure camera has good WDR or backlight compensation. Many cameras can't handle the indoor/outdoor contrast and overexposure when the door is opened and it's bright outside.
