    Can Noctua Low Noise Adapter work for Cisco Switch?

    It actually looked like this: https://www.cablesandkits.com/accessories/switching/cisco-fans/cis3560gfan/pro-7680/ Someone has tried it with the low noise adapter but I don't know how long his switch has lasted:

    I don't think noctua has the blower fan for my switch.

    Can Noctua Low Noise Adapter work for Cisco Switch?

    I bought an used 24 ports Cisco 3560V2. It seems to be working ok but the fan is very loud. I'm wondering if I can use the following to quiet the blower fan? https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NA-SRC10-Accessory-Low-Noise-Adaptors/dp/B00KG3KELQ Thanks.

    switch recommendation

    I will run about 8 cams. I turned it on and it's loud. I have the 3560v2 and I don't think the noctua fans will work. I saw this in ebay and not sure if it's quiet enough: Check out Quiet! New Blower Fan Kit 97x33mm for Cisco WS-C3750G-24T-S Catalyst Switch on eBay! Quiet! New Blower Fan Kit...

    I'm surprised to hear that Higher power PSU made it quiet.

    @Flintstone6, I just got an used Cisco 3560V2 24 ports switch, which quiet fans did you use to replace the stock fans?

    Upgrading my Current System and Looking for Suggestions

    Hi mat200. The dual lens is like two cameras, right? It should cover the front side facing the street. Just to clarify, I live in a cul de sac, not a main street. Also, there's another camera by the front door (CAM E) and another CAM C facing the street.

    Upgrading my Current System and Looking for Suggestions

    The above is a rough sketch of my house and surroundings. I currently have 5 X 2MP Laview, Hikvision cameras and a NVR, I already bought a separate pc, will set up Blue IRIS and get a few more 4 MP cameras. No street lamps on my street, so good night vision is needed. I'm also having hard time...

    Looking for Instructions/Steps to Configure VLAN

    Just bought the router last yr, i checked that dd-wrt doesn't support vlan on this router. Dual NIC is much easier for me.

    Looking for Instructions/Steps to Configure VLAN

    Thanks for these helpful info. Unfortunately, my router (ASUS RT-AX86U) won't be able to do VLAN:( I guess I will go with the dual NIC route.

    Looking for Instructions/Steps to Configure VLAN

    I just bought an used 24 ports Cisco 3560V2 from Ebay. I'm planning to set up VLAN instead of using dual NICs on the BI machine. Any pointers on how to achieve this? Just want to make sure the cameras have no access to internet. Thanks.

    Can IP Cams work without internet connection?

    The challenge i face is i will be pulling thru 3/4" PVC sprinkler pipe, not conduit, it won't be as smooth. Should I even try two CAT5 at once? I think two will be tough to get thru multiple 45 angle L connectors. I might be able to get 1 CAT5 thru.

    Can IP Cams work without internet connection?

    Hi Virga, Thanks for sharing these. I have actually tried the shop vac with plastic ball trick a few months ago. I got the string thru the other end but when I pulled the string tying to the cat5, it broke. I think it's not strong/thick enough to pull the cable. I'm going to try with...

    Can IP Cams work without internet connection?

    The sprinkler pipe is empty but I have no idea how many bends are under the concrete. I think running one is tough enough, not sure about 2:) For the PTP wireless bridge, I think the 2.4Ghz is enough for my use case since my house is about 30 ft from the detached garage?

    Can IP Cams work without internet connection?

    bp2008, Wow, thanks so much for pointing out this option, wasn't aware of it. There's no more underground conduit for me to run CAT5e. Trenching will cost too much. I will attempt to run one thru an unused 3/4 PVC sprinkler pipe but I think it will be challenging.

    Can IP Cams work without internet connection?

    I have no internet connection in my detached garage. I'm just wondering if I set up a POE switch, old NVR, cables and the IP cams will work?

    Building Blue Iris Computer, Have some Questions

    Hi All, thanks for sharing your feedback. I have 4 cams now but might expand to 8 cams the most. I just need to keep the recording for 2 weeks before it got overwritten. I think 4TB is enough, don't want to get larger drive as i probably need to replace in another 5-6 yrs. I bought a 2TB SSD...

    Building Blue Iris Computer, Have some Questions

    Hi, I've decided to build a Blue Iris computer to replace my existing NVR and upgrade the cameras (plan to have about 8). Thanks for the suggestion, I bought an used HP Elitedesk 800 G4 (i5-8600), it doesn't come with OS and HDD. I have the following questions: 1) For storage, should I go with...
