    Adding a hikvion camera to a Dahua nvr

    I changed the IP address to the 10.1.1xxx scheme with the SADP tool as well as the gateway to the same scheme 10.1.1.1. Then plugged the camera into the nvr Poe port . I then used the nvr’s interface to manually add it as ONVIF . I’ve tried almost every variation of network parameters and still...

    Ir cam light problem

    Suddenly the cam in one of my nest boxes is about half as bright. Where should I look first for a problem like this? The camera itself ( debris, etc)., log into the camera and check the settings. Could the Poe switch be on its way out? Hikvision IP Camera DS-2CD2542F-IS 4MP WDR Mini Dome...

    Cam with audio in nest box

    The hole in the nest box is 3 inches in diameter. Plenty of light bounced around the pale wood walls so that the 2.8 lens on the camera could easily handle the situation. I actually had the opposite problem. Shafts of raw sunlight would intrude and blow out the images of the birds. I ended up...

    Want to share my ip cam with friends

    Makes sense! Right now I have the netgear router and behind that a apple extreme on bridge mode which I use to pump music to parts of the house. So, I would put the new vpn enabled router behind the netgear router on bridge mode and the apple extreme on bridge mode. What router would you...
