    Ordered my cameras and PC....NEED HELP...NOOBIE!!!!

    so as @SouthernYankee suggested, the last stage was to connect a camera to the POE switch for test and configuration. Now when connected, do I then follow Cliff's Notes for setting up a Dahua camera for the first time? Or is there something else I should be doing?

    I think the VPN router would also serve to secure my IPTV aswell, so I would probably have that aswell. With regards the password ... that is so clear..thank you

    For the VPN....I could order a secondary router with OpenVPN and have that connected to the PC, and then I assume I connect the POE switch to this and and also connect the switch which is connected to the router?

    Best setup for 15 cameras

    For the 3050, as you mentioned above, you can have one 3.5-inch HDD or up to two 2.5-inch HDD/SSD and one M.2 PCIe SSD So thus am I correct in that I would have one WD purple 6tb, and then one 256gb m.2 ssd?
