    poe injector jerk ?

    @wittaj, Fair points And I agree with them. Maybe I used vague or incorrect terminology. When I stated "router", I meant a "wired router", not a "WiFi router". All my cams are wired back to the router which is right next to the nvr with its single camera input RJ45 jack. Works great...

    poe injector jerk ?

    @wittaj A POE NVR has many ethernet ports, ie: one per camera. A Non-POE NVR has only one camera ethernet port. All camera data comes through a router. So if a router created a bottleneck, that architecture would have serious drawbacks for all those non-poe nvr's... The OP's observation...

    The symptoms sound exactly like a stuck IR filter. Others have been confronted with this - do your research here, some folks even posted instructions & pics. I had good luck with silicon. Of course, you need to disassemble the cam enclosure, something best done on a workbench and not a...

    Best way to stream video feeds from 5216 NVR to another display across the house

    I use an old clamshell windows pc as a monitor. It runs SmartPSS to display the live view. I use WiFi to connect to the NVR lan. Free, since I used ancient stuff in my hardware graveyard. The monitor could be placed anywhere, not just in places where coax & balun might be located.

    Need help with Tripwire function setup

    A possible reason, which tripped me up in the past. In "Setting", "Storage", "Schedule", "Record" make sure IVS is enabled to record on those days & times you desire. See the orange lines below. Good luck, Fastb

    Microphone recomendations?

    Good discussion. Audio: internal vs external mic: Audio sensitivity/quality/directionality isn't the same. Several threads on this. Briefly, external Mic: many options, like a directional Mic that can be "aimed" better audio pickup when further away. can be placed away from the cam. Eg: if...

    Microphone recomendations?

    Yes. Many mid-range cameras support an external mic. The hookup wire bundle from the cam has ethernet & power, at a minimum. And maybe some naked wires for external alarm and external mic. These wires could easily have been overlooked when installing the cam. So you MAY have external mic...

    Microphone recomendations?

    In most cases, hooking a mic to a cam is a smaller headache than running a mic cable all the way back to the NVR. Use a powered mic w/ a POE splitter. Try these threads. https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/external-mic-added-to-hfw5241e-z12e.52099/...

    How-To: Audio Inputs

    Tran383, Ixnay on the balun. To connect the 2 wires together, the first consideration may be space in the junction box. The POE splitter may consume most of the space. If this is the case, scavenging a stereo patch cord. You may have spare. Cut off the connector, leaving some tbd lenth of...

    Comparison of a Fixed Lens and a Varifocal Lens Camera's FOV

    This thread may shed some light. Two cams with 12mm lens, but VERY different FOV. Why? It's related to "Crop Factor" I read. This was interesting: Good luck, Fastb

    Browser access to Dahua NVR suddenly broken

    Another clue: I powered up my old Vista PC. It works with the NVR, just as it used to. So the problem may be related to the automatic updates to my current Win10 PC. Or current versions of the plug-in for Win10. Am still digging. Any ideas are welcome!

    That was my suspicion as well. It could explain why this misbehavior appeared out of the blue. Good idea, and thx for the tip. I had uninstalled the plug-in from the browser, as part of my investigation. But I didn't know the plug-in could be uninstalled from the PC. Unfortunately, after...

    Be aware the POE NVR is louder than the non-poe model. May be a consideration if the NVR is near a bedroom, LR, etc.

    Catcamster brings up a good point. What kind of light? I use a 12v light. It's a flasher usually used on alarms. Its wired directly to the NVR Alarm Out contacts. I also use a Smarthings Door Sensor. Instead of a reed switch (which opens/closes with the door), I use the NVR Alarm Out...

    NVR/ IP cameras- Setting up static ips and proper subnets

    The ip addr is important. But equally important is the ip mask. The mask must support address ranges from 50.212.1.xxx to 50.212.10.xxx Or if you want to tighten it up, support a range from 50.212.1.1 to 50.212.10.255.

    screwed up my installation a little

    Don't overlook your other options: - Turn off internal IR lighting. Mount an external IR illuminator somewhere nearby. Like on the house, shining onto ft walk. https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/what-ir-illuminator-would-be-best.9062/post-91029...
