    Use remote viewing to access hidden "headless" Blueiris computer?

    Blue Iris runs only on Windows so you could access a headless computer via Remote Desktop. You would need to be careful with the environment in terms of temperature swings, ventilation, dust, etc. No doubt on some occasions you would need to access the computer to do a hard reset.

    Camera recommendation for side entry/passage

    Thanks. Does the Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE need 802.3af or is that optional just to get the 800m range? Could the IPC-HDW-4231EM-AS work as a cheaper option? If so what lens (2.8mm, 3.6mm, or 6mm) would be best for this application?

    Camera recommendation for side entry/passage

    I have a narrow (approx 1m) passageway at the side of a house with an exit door approx 5m back from a gate at the frontage. I need a camera to mount just rearwards of the door to pick up anyone coming through the gate and up to the door. A tripwire would need to be set also. The rear aspect is...

    Plugging of nvr and ip cameras to the internet

    In terms of alarm outputs... Alarm Action:FTP Photo Is that the sum total of its capability? No possibility to output to a trigger that could be routed into a Z-Wave smart home scenario?

    Plugging of nvr and ip cameras to the internet

    In this case is there any significant difference in terms of performance with regard throughput to the NVR from all connected cameras being local vs. a switch hop and, presumably, a gigabit link cable? Are there any differences from a networking (subnet) perspective?

    Conduit and fixings for Dahua Junction Box PFA137

    Thanks, I'll check the options at my local DIY store. Need to find a connector with an aperture big enough to pass an RJ45 plug if possible. In worst case I'll cut the plug and re-terminate with a new one after the cable is passed through.

    Conduit and fixings for Dahua Junction Box PFA137

    I have the subject junction box and want to connect a flexible conduit into it. There is a gland supplied (looks like 15mm ID, 20mm OD) and the gland nut has an aperture of 12mm (approx). Most flexible conduit from DIY stores is around 20mm and too big for the fitting. Reason I need flexible is...

    POE Dahua NVR will be expedient compared to BI?

    I know there are multiple posts on the NVR vs BI topic and I'm leaning toward the NVR to save time on build and implementation as well as cost. So I'm asking for guidance with a product/spec. and just want to check what current product would be best to get up and running quickly. A build to run...

    Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-Z - which wall mount?

    Thanks, I think I meant to say "waterproof junction box". I got hold of a PFA13B but it has 4 holes vs the camera mounts 3 and they are the wrong PCD (diameter). One of those should do it.

    Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-Z - which wall mount?

    I'm in need of a flush type wall mount for the Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-Z, one with a knock-out for a cable gland where I can connect a flexible cable conduit and plumb into domestic cable conduit (I think it's approx 20mm or 25mm). Any product suggestions or recommendations?

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I've just purchased this camera (IPC-HDW5231R-Z) and set it up temporarily on my LAN (using 12V power brick). I'm using an SD card just for testing and have formatted it using the tool in the browser window and selected local storage as the desintation. A schedule is set (pretty much the...
