    Any reason to use SmartIR on door/porch camera?

    Don't have the button to record video anymore, only a snapshot or record audio? Those snapshots also no longer get dropped into my C:\Users\<user>\WebDownload\LiveSnapshot directory on my PC...I'll have to dig into that for the reason why. UPDATE: Disabled P2P after doing some reading, now it...

    Any reason to use SmartIR on door/porch camera?

    No longer can load it in Edge (IE mode), but it works in Chrome (which is good?)...but I have to do some more digging on that. I've heard different browsers show different options. Just upgraded the firmware, appears to be working. And yep just to clarify...don't care too much about the...

    Any reason to use SmartIR on door/porch camera?

    I'm working on getting things set up, and have my first camera installed next to my front door, a IPC-HDW5231R-Z. (It's been sitting in a box for a few years, so may also need firmware updated, not sure yet, haven't searched). I did a little bit of testing with the kids outside, and pretty much...

    So I roughly have installed a 5442 6mm birdhouse camera on lamp post 50' from my front door....with tire slashing incursion discussion

    This thread was a great read! Looks like you learned a ton in the process as well. Hopefully she's left you alone in the last several months as well.

    An LPR success story

    This was an interesting read. Looking forward to doing more research on how to set up LPC to start. I've always wondered, with witness type things is there any fear of these guys coming after you for turning them in? Or is that also a pretty big crime? Great work!!

    AP or Bridge to connect NVR for remote access?

    To follow up, I bought this at Best Buy to try. Seems to be working. Linksys - AC750 Boost Range Extender - White It is just a single device plugged into power downstairs, with an Ethernet port. Currently have this Extender and the NVR both plugged into my POE switch. I can reach my camera via...

    Another "password for NVR5416-4KS2" thread -- have pattern though

    I purchased a Dahua NVR5416-4KS2 NVR from @EMPIRETECANDY in 2017. I started messing around, setting it up. Life got in the way, it's been sitting in the basement. Now I'm trying to get things going again. I remember the pattern login, but, not the admin account login. I've searched a few threads...

    AP or Bridge to connect NVR for remote access?

    Oh, definitely nothing at all wrong with the one you had linked. I was going to see if I could find one locally to grab this weekend if I could.

    AP or Bridge to connect NVR for remote access?

    These are the two options I have available locally... But I'll order something online if I have to.

    AP or Bridge to connect NVR for remote access?

    Confused about that... My PC and the NVR? Or the NVR and the existing Wi-Fi router? I might have to look at YouTube to see how these things work.

    AP or Bridge to connect NVR for remote access?

    I never knew if those types of devices were gimmicks or if they worked or not. Not opposed to using something simple like that. It's only for management and that single device. If they work and are a simple solution then I will check into those... Thank you.

    AP or Bridge to connect NVR for remote access?

    I have a Dahua NVR5416-4KS2 along with a few Dahua cameras and PFS3110-8P-96 POE switches. My home WiFi router is an Asus RT-AX88U. I understand the irony of asking to get my NVR on a wireless drop. It's sitting in a temporary location in my basement, (but I am hard-wiring my cameras and...

    Front door cam, fishing and mounting, vinyl siding

    Well, I am a lazy POS that's gotten wrapped up in a 100 other things and still have not done this yet. Jeez. Clearing space out of the basement to access this part of the wall; hoping to get this cable ran before I put the storage shelving back in that spot in the basement.

    Dashcam captures thieves, but quality is too low

    I guess I was thinking along the lines of ID'ing the vehicle. I'm making assumptions -- can't ID the guy if the police don't know who he is, right? Or are you saying there's enough to see on the truck to ID it? Thanks.

    Dashcam captures thieves, but quality is too low

    Reminder that if you're going to buy something, buy something quality. Happened while he was at the hospital visiting his wife, and son in the NICU. One of the doors no longer locks. Got off with a radio and a toolbag. Scumbags. Question time: If he got a plate capture, is this enough to...
