    Network Interface Card

    Two NIC and the lightning protection between the switch and the PC. Just thought if I need another NIC may as well try and enhance it. It was more about whether I had the right PCI-e card but I think that’s ok now so I have hit the order button.

    Network Interface Card

    Yes it’s fiber optic and I will run a fiber optic cable direct to the SPF switch. Separately there is also an Ethernet RJ45 NIC on the Pc for access to the router.

    Network Interface Card

    Thanks Walrus. Correct. That’s my bad. What I should have said is I have no need for the graphics slot. I am using the onboard graphics .... no graphics card installed.

    Network Interface Card

    Thanks bp2008. Yes, the fibre connection will be the only connection to the PC. For the cameras I will use the Ubiquiti ethernet surge protectors, which I found reference to on this forum. Just thought the fibre optic between the switch and PC would add another level of comfort. Separately I...

    Motorcycle "Dash Cam"

    I have the same problem with vibration as well David. My camera is a GoPro with a purpose built bracket attached behind the indicator mounts front and rear. It has vibration in the footage but I still use it as like you state a still frame will grab a number plate and of course any issue can be...

    BlackVue DR900S-2CH - WiFi SSID Broadcast Bug

    That’s a lot of video to watch but Kudos to you for pushing the issue with BlackVue. I am not a fan of their customer support as I also haven’t had much success on the two occasions I had to seek support. I tried locally with zero success and got little support after also going direct to the...

    Hi from the UK

    I am not an expert cip3 but I do have several of the HDW5231R-ZE running on a test bench at the moment. Once I get everything set up with BI and OpenVPN I intend to instal the cameras at a remote location. The build quality is excellent as are the features and image quality. I did a lot of...

    Avoid this switch, Two failed in less than a year

    I have a Cisco SF200E-24/P managed switch which was basically plug and play. Its been 100% reliable and operating with an NVR in a temp range of 32 - 37c day in day out. Its also not in the cleanest environment dust wise but has never once failed me over more than 6 years. It was costly but I...

    Correct port setup for Router - Switch - BI PC

    Thanks Walrus and Southern Yankee I must admit being still a little confused. As it sounds like I can only access the cameras remotely under option one then I had best go that path as thats one of my major requirements. It also seems like the Dahua switch without a gigabyte port to connect the...

    Correct port setup for Router - Switch - BI PC

    Ok so it sounds like I need a new NIC adaptor with dual ports. Will look into my options there, but most likely will try to go with a genuine HP solution. Thanks for your help.

    Correct port setup for Router - Switch - BI PC

    Thanks Walrus. Yes I intend to block the cam ip addresses from the internet. Today I have it all working in test mode in another location but will do this along with the VPN when I access the other router on site.

    Correct port setup for Router - Switch - BI PC

    Thanks IAmATeaf. Actually that’s a good pick up on your part. I meant to show the switch in the second diagram as the Dahua POE. Accessing the cameras remotely via the PC and over OpenVPN is how I would ideally like to set it up “if possible”. If that second diagram works (with the Dahua...

    Correct port setup for Router - Switch - BI PC

    Thank you for your response Southern Yankee, which I greatly appreciate. I have managed to get my system working quiet well on the bench with BI, but as I read more within the forum I have seen that I can optimise it further. As you also stated eliminating camera traffic from the network was...

    Correct port setup for Router - Switch - BI PC

    My Dahua switch and BI PC are both connected directly to my router (and working OK) but within the forum I now read that the ideal setup is to connect both the router and BI PC directly to the switch and the switch then to the router (i.e. Ideally the BI PC should not be connected directly to...

    Power router on and off remotely

    Static IP is an option but it’s very expensive here (three times the price of the standard service) so I have shied away from that path, albeit it would help. Dynamic IP works ok when it works. Just got to wait a while for the IP to be updated on the dns server and then access is back. The...

    Power router on and off remotely

    Thanks Frankenscript but remote reboot cant help me here. When this problem evolves it is the IP address and the connection between the router and the ISP that has been lost. Typically the router is on, dyndns is showing an old IP and a ping doesnt achieve a response. So the current IP and...

    Power router on and off remotely

    Agree. That is the (my) problem - most of the smart type switches or automation hubs generally dont work because you cant reach the switch after a power cycle knocks out the connection. Thats a nice solution bp2008. It works exactly the reverse of how I was trying to analyse the problem...

    Anyone using APC PowerChute or is there a better alternative?

    Thanks aristobrat. That’s a very clear explanation. I understand the diff now. So I will stick with the current bios settings that I have which allows for restart on power loss. At the moment I’m testing all this in my lounge room before I install it remotely. Appreciate the help from you...

    Anyone using APC PowerChute or is there a better alternative?

    Thanks Fenderman. I will have a look at the sinewave UPS and read up on the pfc power supply. On the second part I have misunderstood as I was thinking the bios power setting would take care of the restart but I am obviously wrong. You know much more on this that me - no question there. So...

    Anyone using APC PowerChute or is there a better alternative?

    My UPS is a APC Pro1500 GI and I see that PowerChute is APC software that will manage a timely shutdown of my PC before the battery is totally exhausted. But when I read the reviews there appear to be more bad comments than good, so I’m wondering if anyone has any specific feedback on it? There...

    Power router on and off remotely

    My system is in a remote location and sometimes I need to power the router on and off to fix or isolate a problem. I am setup to reboot the router and power on and off other devices remotely but powering the router on and off is an issue (or at least for my limted knowledge). I accept that one...

    PC Recommendations for BI Build

    Good suggestion. It will also spread the risk on switch failure. Did you need to do anything different in BI for that setup or was it all straight forward on connection?

    Importing HP Elitedesk SSF or Tower to Thailand

    Thanks Fenderman. Good point on 3rd gen processors. I also now see that 120 vac vs 220 vac shouldn't be an issue, at least with the HP Elitedesk. Some of the models have a red switch on the back of the case, and next to the power input, that allows you to swap between the two voltages. And the...
