    Do I need a static IP address?

    It's not essential, you can use a dynamic DNS (DDNS) service. Lots of routers usually have a DDNS client built in that you could configure. In my opinion, it's a little easier with a static IP but the extra cost does add up over time. The advantage I see is that the VPN connectivity would be a...

    Camera for License Plates

    A camera salesperson once told me that 'LPR' cameras have special f/w that pulses the IR leds synced to the shutter speed (or AC line frequency) to assist with the plate capture. Not sure how much truth to that there is or it was just marketing.

    How can I access cameras w/2 NICs?

    The BI machine will probably need to be Win 10 Pro to allow RDP connections. The setting to allow remote connections is also likely to be off by default.

    NUC pc's

    Nice unit, although doesn't look like an official Intel unit. Would probably work well in a vehicle.

    NUC pc's

    Not sure what model you are seeing but I'm pretty sure most NUCs are not fanless. If yours has a heatsink, that may be a custom lid.

    IR illuminator VS motion(solar)floodlights

    If you ever want to do LPR at night, you'll need IR (white light won't help).

    Specs didn't look good. I guess real world results paint a different story.

    help tuning night LPR ?

    The FOV on that is 90 degrees, I think that will be useless.

    help tuning night LPR ?

    What happens when the neighbours park their cars in the driveway as pictured ? I would try opening the shutter a little longer to 1/500. This may work for slower vehicles.

    Blue Iris in VMWare ESXi 6.7 with passthrough of Intel integrated graphics

    Been a while since I used esxi 5.5. Is the latest host version still free? Multiple VMs on a recording box may not be wise, but good effort in getting it going.

    Trouble with remote desktop after latest Win 10 updates?

    I had some problems with RDP after Windows updates but the issue appears to be different to yours. There seems to be problems relating to differing security levels when connecting to other machines. If you've recently updated one, try updating the other to ensure they have similar revisions.

    Another thing you may want to try is using MJPEG rather than H.264, See if you get better results.

    First time setup new cameras w/second NIC/no internet

    You will create two networks. The cctv network can be any lan address, eg 192.168.xxx.0, SM 255.255.255.0. You don't need a gateway. Your cameras should reside on this same subnet. For the NIC connected to your router, use the LAN you are already using. eg. 192.168.1. Make sure the cctv...

    White light in B&W mode? Not getting a great picture.

    Doesn't seem that your lights are turning on. Are you sure it's working correctly? In your B/W shots, the illumination appears to be purely from the camera's built in IR

    Is there any overlap in the images?. It appears there may be a blind spot standing directly in front of those.

    License Plate Capture Help

    I've used this camera in the past. Good night (LPR) shots are achievable. Make sure that autofocus is disabled because the focus will likely shift at night.

    Need to switch my switch, recommendations?

    What do you mean by this ?, are you trying to aggregate 2 links or are they going to 2 other switches ?, You may be creating a broadcast storm due to a loop in the switched network.

    power supply question

    Still using analogue cameras or not using the POE ?. Using the formula, P=VI, current draw on the power supply will be approx 0.46 Amps. For two cameras, current requirements will be double (wattage or power per camera does not change). I would purchase a power supply with a minimum spec of 1.5A

    A complex issue with a camera connecting to NVR - Can not find network host

    Looks like you are setting up a wireless bridge. Can you ping the wireless client ? .108 ?, you should then be able to ping the camera. Ensure you only have Router 1 set up as a DHCP server.

    View 2remote Cameras [same router with PublicIP] on the local_NVR

    Firstly, port forwarding is the old way of doing things and a security risk. Is there an NVR in the store ? You may try port forwarding to the NVR to view associated cameras. What about the firewall at the office end?, that also needs ports open to allow traffic into the network. What you are...

    Frustrated setting up system...

    Is the NVR on the 192.168.1 network and what IP are you using ?. From your post, it seems you have a duplicate IP address. The router address is your gateway address.

    Dahua - is your city safe enough yet? In 1984 it can be!

    Agree, I'm sure their products work individually but integrating everything city wide to be seamless is another story. Lots of people struggle to configure an IP address or a VPN at moment :blankstare: . I think their promo is at least 5 years ahead of itself.
