    Point to Point Wireless Bridge Recomendations

    I know, I know...don't use wireless for a camera setup. However I've got a 45m gap where running a cable is just impossible, so I will need to run a Point to Point Wireless bridge. Both Bridges will have POE capability fed from an NVR and a 110v POE adapter. Just looking for recommendations...

    Dahua NVR without Model Number

    Since the current NVR is such a mess, not sure if its worth trying to fix it with a whole new setup, or if its better to just leave it until we get a new NVR and camera setup....

    Dahua NVR without Model Number

    Knew there had to be a reason you suggested it, thank you for the explanation. If I go the 32 channel one, I get 32 cameras, 16 in the POE ports from the NVR and 8 non POE powered, and 8 POE switched powered. Just a total of 32 cameras in any combination....

    Dahua NVR without Model Number

    What would be the point of a 32 port model if I would need a POE switch anyway? Couldn't I just use the POE switch for cameras 17-24?

    Dahua NVR without Model Number

    Ya I think whoever setup this current old NVR didn't know what they were doing. I got a laptop into the room and plugged directly into the NVR, I could get the IP Camera splash screen, but the admin password I was using to access the NVR wasn't working for the cameras. My understanding was if...

    Dahua NVR without Model Number

    Good to know, I"m sure I'll have to tune it when we get it installed. How much of an off angle was that picture taken?

    Dahua NVR without Model Number

    So the cameras that came from that POE switch would have the same IP Address 192.168.1.XX that the router gives out? Do you manually add the cameras then? I read the PSA for a new NVR and that seemed to indicate that if plugged into an NVR, just let the NVR detect the camera, but that if...

    Dahua NVR without Model Number

    The HOA is paying for it, not me :) The camera system we have now is a bunch of old 2MP dome cameras that are so scratched up you can't hardly see anything at night...

    You must have done some modifications to the last shot to get it so dark compared with the second to last...amazing..

    Dahua NVR without Model Number

    Ya, I might go with the 32 channel route, but the last 16 ports aren't POE capable, so would need a POE switch correct? If I plug that into port 17 on the NVR, does that keep the same IP address 10.0.0.xx for the POE switch cameras? Since this is an HOA and I won't always be on the board, I...

    Dahua NVR without Model Number

    That looks pretty close. It is a 16 port model and the HDMI / USB / LAN ports are closer to the POE ports, but it looks pretty dang close. Would it be worth upgrading the firmware on this NVR or its so old I stand a good chance to brick it?

    I guess i should double check, but I don't see a settings option? Can you walk me through where it would be? This is what I see in the info section....

    Dahua NVR without Model Number

    Since it doesn't have a model on the sticker, is it safe to say that is is really old and should probably be replaced to get some of the new features? Also find that I've got 8 cameras for the 8 POE ports, but not sure if its the cable or the cameras or the POE ports, but I don't find any of...

    Dahua NVR without Model Number

    Not sure, as I have not used the config tool as it is difficult to get connected to the network in the space it is currently located. Getting a laptop there with power and an ethernet cable is quite the task considering the room size :) I thought I read somewhere that the config tool would only...

    Dahua NVR without Model Number

    That sticker looks the same for mine, except there is no model, just Network video Recorder 100-240v 3.5a 47-63Hz Part Number and Serial number

    Dahua NVR without Model Number

    I've got a dahua NVR that I'm responsible for at my HOA, but I don't see a model number. All I see is NVR under Model. The firmware is from 2016 and is 3.2.X I no longer have the box, and looking at the tag on the bottom I don't see any model number there, only a serial number. Would like to...

    VPN's for multiple cameras at multiple houses

    I forgot how many jerks and unhelpful people are on this forum. I'm actually an IT admin for a site, but we don't have PTP VPN's so I'm not as familiar with this part of the process. Seems like I need to get three routers that support OpenVPN and then have them always be connected via a server...

    VPN's for multiple cameras at multiple houses

    But if I have cameras at a site that do not have a VPN server setup, how do I tunnel into them? From what you are saying only one site needs to be the server, the others can be clients....unless I"m misunderstanding...

    VPN's for multiple cameras at multiple houses

    I hear everyone say not to open ports on the router as its insecure. However, my question is if I've got multiple cameras at multiple different sites, and I use an app like IPCentCom to watch them all at once, I can only do this if I open ports, because i would need to have multiple VPN...
