    BI setting to add Dahua IPC-T5442T-ZE

    Last night a animal passed by my house, I was little bummed that I couldn't quite say what it was, it was either a coyote or a fox. I wanted to post video, not sure how to cut just that part out of BI format file. Which software do you use? Thanks

    IVS/Face recognition/Other AI settings camera or BI

    I am little confused as to which settings should I enable on the Dahua camera and which one's on BI. Do I need to enable IVS/Face recognition/AI settings on the camera? Do I also need to enable these on BI?

    Apologies for double post, I wanted to get some idea on this particular camera. After all the recommendations, I think I would just go with a another IPC-T5442T-ZE and may be a IPC-T5442T-AS for the side alley. Thanks again.

    Access cameras on phone remotely using non-BI app

    Ahh...I just thought Tinycam just won't work with BI. After your message I went back and looked in the app and I see BI in there, I was able to add them and also be able to view outside of the network on OpenVPN. THANKS :).

    Remote viewing on Android and IOS

    I was able to resolve this. Not sure which one actually fixed it but I had to update the software on Asus router and change DHCP lease on ATT router to 1 day, my hunch is software update on ASUS fixed this. Working on setting up VPN now :).

    Thank you. So PoE switch is upstairs which in a media cabinet, it will be quite challenging for me to run a patch cable from there to my server . My understanding is these are 1 Gb ports, shouldn't the performance be similar? I can imagine connecting to a dedicated switch will be slightly...

    Remote viewing on Android and IOS

    Yup I will be using 2 NIC's. I do not have a ASUS router atm, I will get router in the mix as my next step up. Right now my goal is to be able to view my cameras outside of the network.

    Installing turret on PFA 130-E

    Ok thanks. Sounds like I will have to play with a little bit to make it work. I am installing under soffit, about 2 feet of Cat 6 is exposed, do I still need to worry about water? From what i see looks like all the cables will just go inside the junction box.
