    Is there such a thing as a Low voltage or POE powered IR Illuminator?

    just because you measure 12V there doesn't ncessarily mean it can supply any current at that voltage... Feel free to try it, but it might either not work (can't supply the current) or blow something up...

    Lorex LNB8005B-C and Dahua firmware (Solved with instructions)

    Please specify which unit you flashed with which FW. Did you do a factory reset after the 'upgrade'? If not, try that to see if it fixes your 'config not-sticking' issue. hopefully, there's a factory FW available for your unit in case it just doesn't work well on the Dahua FW and you need to...

    How To Upgrade Amcrest / Lorex to Dahua Firmware And Get All Dahua Features

    try DH_IPC-HX25(8)XX-Molec_MultiLang_NP_V2.800.0000000.19.R.200628 has IPC-HDW2831TP-AS-S2 in the check.img file, so should wok on the Amcrest IP8M-T2599E available here: IPC-T2231T-ZS IPC-HX2XXX-Molec_MultiLang_PN_V2.800.0000000.19.R.200628

    IPC-T5442T-ZE how to setup recording to SD card?

    yes, i was going to suggest showing us the 'storage' SD card page, which would have told us the card was not seen/formatted. sometime, if you format the card in your PC first, it'll then work in the cam...

    PoE splitter wanted that provides both 12v *AND* PoE on the camera end

    yes, both outputs have PoE available, but it's fine to plug a non-poe ethernet device in. that's the beauty of 'active' 802.3af/t PoE. can't do that with passive,

    PoE splitter wanted that provides both 12v *AND* PoE on the camera end

    '803.af' and 'passive' are mutually exclusive. ie, most splitters are one the other, not both. if you want to provide a poe (or non-poe) ethernet to another device at the end of a currently 802.3af PoE Camera run, just use one of these (mini 3 port pass-thru switch)...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    the f/1.0 lens used inherently has shallower DoF than those found in DH5542's for example (f/1.6, or higher for the VF's) Of course, if you're willing to void your warranty, one can open them up and adjust, to some extent. May give up some clarity in the distance to focus closer, but there has...

    5231-ze time drift

    Glad you got the NTP config sorted... in the hidsight dept: if you had posted the time config page from that cam and a working cam, someone may have noticed the issue earlier and saved a lot of head-scratching... yes, mic should have a connector that could theoretically have come loose (or...

    5231-ze time drift

    the cam's UI doesn't have TCP/UDP option. if he didn't already have the port open on his FW, none of the cams would be synicng... maybe try re-assigning the cam's IP to something other than .50? try .56 (for example) just to see if behavior changes...

    +1 on the domes. They WILL give you trouble at some point, even if you have decent lighting and keep them out of direct sunlight and direct night-time industrial lighting. If you were in the USA, i'd suggest a few batches of these (no affilation): *** Lot of 10 Dahua 4MP IP Cameras -...

    Lorex LNB8005B-C and Dahua firmware (Solved with instructions)

    seems some of Lorex's newer oferrings may no longer be Dahua-OEM'd. or they had Dahua disable the tftp at startup for them, specifically to prevent such self-service. One would probably need to access the serial port to find out more...

    5231-ze time drift

    after all that, we're back to square one. at this point I can only RE-suggest "Have you tried resetting the drifting cam to factory and reconfiguring?..." good luck!

    Cam Activation/Configuration over VPN?

    it's on, possibly in a default configuration that has the LED's illuminated at certain light level (was it bright or dark near the cam?) you may have adjusted that previously such that he LEDs didn;t come on ever, but now being back to default, they do. the clicking is the physical movement of...

    5231-ze time drift

    what f-man suggested is to troublehshoot an NTP setup (see if it works end-to-end). we now know you don't have it set up right. you mentioned there's a firewall rule, but did you set up and are you running an NTP server on your BI PC ? (or any other PC on your network that runs 24/7, or...

    gigabit uplink at least can be useful. Eight 4k cams at a decent bitrate (1000kB/s or ~10Mb each ) will max out a 100mb link...

    5231-ze time drift

    Right. that 'Sync PC' button that does a ONE TIME (just when you click it) sync from the current web browser's computer, which has NOTHING to do with the NTP configuration below that includes an interval setting. Yes, that one... This is why we usually ask for screen shots... ;-)

    5231-ze time drift

    If he didn't have UDP port 123 open on the PC for NTP requests, then NONE of the cams would ever be sync'ing via NTP and they'd all be drifting... but yeah, I has assumed the OP knew the diff between 'sync to pc' and 'test/NTP'. You know what they say about assuming... :-)

    New Camera New Capture.

    yes, you seem to have plenty of street lighting available, tho the white LED's might be useful for ID'ing people as they come into your fenced-in area, (if you don't already have lighting along side or behind the cam, that we can't see...)

    5231-ze time drift

    you said it drifts over days? then it's clearly not re-syncing on schedule (every 30 min)... perhaps a firmware update or other issue in it's past has left that cam partially mis-configured. Have you tried resetting it to factory and reconfiguring?...

    Cam Activation/Configuration over VPN?

    oh! how about this: set the router's LAN netmask to 255.255.0.0 (from 255.255.255.0). that way, the hik's 192.168.1.0/24 network will be local to the router's LAN. and this should not disrupt local 192.168.7.0/24 traffic...

    New Camera New Capture.

    with the hik's, setting exposure to 1/20th will actually use shorter exposure (1/100 or 1/200 or even less) if there's enough light, which explains why little/no motion blur. would be interesting to see at what setting it makes a difference (scene gets darker when it hits/surpasses the limit)...

    Cam Activation/Configuration over VPN?

    in that case, if you have access to the router there, you may be able to ADD the hik's network (without removing the working lan/vpn config)... should not need to reconfigure the MAIN network (that wouls be recipe for locking yourself out)

    5231-ze time drift

    check the details of that rule to make sure you didn't limit to specific IP's. If you did, perhaps that camera was added later and not added to this exception list?
