    37777 port forward help

    You can set the router and camera to use the same port. Make sure the port you chose isn't already in use. 1-1024 are reserved. If 8000 isn't working, 8008.

    37777 port forward help

    Whatsmyip shows the current external IP address your modem is being assigned from your ISP. Some ISPs change this often, some don't. If your camera works at home on with the local IP address of the camera in the app, you will put your external IP into the app. There are lots of videos on this...

    37777 port forward help

    The user name and password will stay the same. The port should stay the same. The IP address is probably t he onlything you will need to change to get it to work off of wifi. Did you go to whatsmyip.com?

    Camera Recommendation and Placement for Hoodies

    Interesting idea @nayr . Would the strobe mess with the camera image? Maybe another type of light would be better. Maybe a buzzer... Idk, but you are onto something.

    37777 port forward help

    Try doing all your testing from home with your smartphone. Connect phone to wifi, enter local address into your app of choice. Once that is working, disconnect wifi and use cellular data. Change the app credentials to use external address (whatsmyip.com from wifi) or DDNS address of you have...

    I would like to find other firmware version for a couple of Dahua models. Is there something I am missing or something only distributors can get? Thanks, John IPC-HDW4300C IPC-HDW4421E IPC-HF5421E

    Night image gets more dim with time

    I have a DS-2CD3345-I that seems to do a bad job of adjusting it's IR over time. When I reset it to defaults, the night image is good. However, it seems that the IR output is reduced over time. I am not sure if it is the fault of the camera or the metal fence reflecting the IR back at the...

    Remote Temperature Monitoring

    I have never messed with Arduino stuff. A friend had recommended Particle.io and I told him I was hoping for a finished product... Having said that, I just watched a video on how to setup a Dallas sensor with an Arduino. It looks easy enough in the video, but I find it is always the ground...

    Remote Temperature Monitoring

    I am looking for a solution to remotely monitor temperature and/or power for a freezer. It would be great to have an App that could notify if the temperature went out of range or the power went out (ups required on device and modem/router). I have found that Ubiquiti mFI looks like it would...

    Larger single HDD or multiples

    They are $120 used/refurb on Amazon. Not sure if that is worth the $20 or not... At 6tb, I would pay the extra $30 to get a Purple 5400rpm drive over a 7200rpm drive for the heat factor in an NVR.

    BI app freezes if I leave it open for a while

    BI PC App - resolution

    I don't have anything higher than 1080P to see for myself - does the PC app for BI scale to whatever monitor size you connect? Are there any limitations, or does it display the native resolution of your camera feeds if you can support your resolution? For example, how will it behave if I connect...

    Cheapie garage door camera

    I ordered them on June 12. "Your order will be closed in 28 days". I think purchase protection would get me the same 100% refund that the seller is offering. The seller didn't want to send me any of the outdoor cams in case of compatibility issues. I have to admit, I am a little gun-shy of...
