    VLAN via USG for Secure Camera Setup - Please Help

    I am a novice running UniFi, so take this with a dose of skepticism, unless verified by one of the Network gurus here. I put my cameras and the PC with Blue Iris on a separate VLAN (CamLAN) that cannot access the Internet. Each switch port with a camera and the BI machine are configured for the...

    Review-Dahua PSDW5631S-B360 panoramic 360 camera.

    So what are we going to call this one? The zebra? And since Dahua seems to keeps increasing the amount of sensors in the cameras, when can we expect this to be released? [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I wonder if it would make sense to put the transformer on a smart switch that could be scheduled by automation to turn off and on daily, therefore power cycling the doorbell. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    The Dahua DB-11 is another similar option with better video quality (maybe), but still has some issues with app connectivity. Door bird is not cloud-dependent, but requires PoE and is only 720p resolution. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    A little OT, but since you are new to Comcast, beware of their monthly data cap. Since this a family friendly forum, let me just say I refer to them with Al Swearengen’s favorite curse word! [emoji41] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Dahua cameras not holding correct time

    Assuming you use your NAS for other purposes you can leave it on the main subnet and set up a rule in the firewalls so the cameras can get directly to that device (and no other) on the main subnet. I am not a networking expert, and defer the other questions to others who have more knowledge...

    Dahua cameras not holding correct time

    I created a separate network from my cameras and NVR with separate subnets; later, I also set up VLAN’s for each network I created. My primary network is 10.10.2.X, and the cameras are on 10.10.3.X. If I recall correctly, ubiquiti by default allows a rotting between subnets, but the VLAN...

    Recommended front porch/door camera? (PoE, ONVIF, etc)

    I have been waiting for a good doorbell cam that will just work without a lot of issues. The Doorbird is 720p resolution and over-priced. The HikVision clones for two successive generations of doorbell cameras have various issues with Wi-Fi signal and App connectivity. The Dahua DB-11 has a...

    These are fixed focal length cameras, not Varifocal. I tested with one of my Varifocal cameras before deciding between the two options. Here is a picture: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    I have a Dahua DH-IPC-HDW4231EMP-ASE (3.6 mm Lens) fixed focal length camera I have on my porch, oriented vertically, about 3 feet from the door, and it works great. That model number is from memory, so hopefully correct. Mark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Latest New 20181228 Firmware for DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea

    Did either of you factory reset before applying the firmware update, after the firmware update, or both before AND after the firmware update? If so, was that a software-based reset, or hardware-based via the internal button on the camera? Thanks. Mark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
