    I installed this version upgrade today on my IPC-HDW2231R-ZS. Didn't notice any issues and IVS tripwire push notification still working fine. Looks like there is a new setting under Safety.

    I can't log in to my ip camera after changing it's ip

    You are setting your PC IP to the same as the gateway 192.168.254.1 don't think that will work. Try something different like 192.168.254.10 or just set PC to obtain IP by DHCP.

    Motion everywhere... :(

    Do you have a micro SD card installed and recording as well? You can set IVS tripwire in the camera settings itself and get notifications that way. Your NAS can still be recording.

    Nice review thanks. I'm also been using HLC 50 on my camera mounted facing south. I found it to have the most accurate color compared to using WDR. Did you test out the line detection?

    Looking for a NOOB friendly OpenVPN VLAN supported router

    SG-1100 is good. I was debating on that one but went Ubiquiti EdgeRouterX instead cus it was cheaper. Both will be able to do what you need to do.

    Looking for a NOOB friendly OpenVPN VLAN supported router

    Asus routers you can have VLAN suport running Merlin firmware with scripts if you are comfortable with that. Some editing of the codes will be required. if you prefer using GUI then best to get a VLAN capable router and switch. Have a look at Ubiquiti products.

    Hikvision camera with SD card

    They can record to both SD card and NVR. You can view the recorded SD footage without NVR. Accessing it online can be either through the HIKVISION p2p function or you can setup a VPN to access your cameras on the home network.
