    Do any of you actually use Dahua P2P for external access to your cams?

    I'd say about 80% of security installers/electricians/'professionals' here in Aus would set up NVR's with P2P. They are in a hurry to complete the job and move on to the next. Setting something up more securely would require more skills and time which they do NOT have. Customers also demand...

    What does Axis have that more affordable options don't?

    I like being able to read the manual in English, use the user interface and understand what it means. The Chinese camera web interfaces and menu selections often leave me confused!

    Using POE Texas injectors with VLANs

    Completely new and in need of help

    The crimp connector I believe provides water proofing, I would use a normal patch lead while testing on the bench. The midspan injector likely doesn't support mdix, you should connect your PC and the midspan device to a switch.

    Step 4 is IMPORTANT IF there is no dhcp server on the network, you'll get the 192.168.0.90 address. If you're connected to your router, you should get a local LAN IP. Using the Axis Device manager software, it should be detected. Assuming it's s a used unit, sure you haven't purchased a dud ?

On the system Tab, you can create an event to send email snap shots based on VMD4 settings, record...

    SMTP not working for Outlook email

    The POE ports on the NVR are a separate network to your internet LAN. The IP addresses there should be different to your internet LAN and therefore internet is not accessible. If you try the SMTP settings on the NVR itself, see if the NVR can send email ? I'm not sure if it's possible to get...

    How did your upgrade to R3 go?. Mine crashed out during the upgrade process and I had to back out and reinstall Release 2. Usually the upgrade process is quite smooth. It's been painful this time around.

    Same here, I'm running 2020R1and the mobile app playback is sluggish/broken, Live view is OK. Must be something to do with the app itself, because the system was working fine till I got the new Android update recently. Connecting via the web interface :8081 works fine.
