    Clips and Archiving: how to best use the folder structure

    So when I define the New and Stored, would I select the "Do not monitor free space..." option and select the "Delete" option? I'm having all video clips stored on the 4TB purple and not the small SSD which the OS and BI run on.

    How "fast" should the "New" folder storage medium be?

    Sweet baby Jesus. I did not know there was a Wikihelp for this.

    Clips and Archiving: how to best use the folder structure

    I'm still wrapping my head around this. What is the function of the New and Stored folders? I could not seem to figure it out in the help file. Is the "New folder" where when a file starts to record it's in the "buffer" and once finished it's exported or copied over to the final resting...

    Home surveillance cam advice

    You need to figure out what exactly you want to see and capture and then figure out camera placement/location. The location of where the camera will be mounted will decide what camera will work best for the location to obtain the view you want-- narrow or wide FOV fixed or varifocal. high...

    Rack design input for parts to house equipment

    I run a middle atlantic 8u open frame rack in my master closet. I needed the depth because I have an old DLink POE switch that I didn't want to get rid off at the cost of fan noise. WM Series Rack, WM-8-18 for PDU, I picked up a 20 socket from a local ebay seller that is hooked up to UPS. What...

    You need to look at your traffic logs from either your router or managed or smart switch.

    VLANs vs firewall rules/filters

    In computer/home network security and cameras what are the pros and cons of the two? I wondered about this late last night as I was setting up my POE switch and relearning what my old router was capable of. With my router and probably with most nowadays, you could block the cameras or devices...

    My wiring nightmare

    My crimper kit came in from Amazon and I started crimping the ends for the cameras. I also picked up a bare 8u wall mount rack locally for 25 dollars. One set of the holes I had drilled to mount are off a quarter inch or so. Debating gift I want to redrill new holes lower. The rack will be...

    installing cameras on stone exterior and stucco

    Looked at some YouTube videos and picked up some Tapcon screws. No hammer drill so I'll take my time with the regular rotary.

    New guy logging lots of hours learning

    What he said, I have a i5 5690k and that's old already. Go with the newer as it'll give you more headroom to work with if you plan to go with more cameras. You can never have enough.

    Daisy chain or home run Cat 5e?

    There is nothing wrong with daisy chaining switches as long as you are aware of the limitations and problems associated with it.
  22. Cupofschmoe

    Prewire Guidance:

    You're here because you're opting to go with IP cameras. IP Cameras > coax. The price difference between Cat5e and Cat 6 install is negligible so I would have Cat 6 installed. If you don't decide to use one of the lines for Cameras, you can use it as an access point for your network. Coax and...

    My wiring nightmare

    Hmm. I didn't even consider installing another panel next to it. I'll have to look into that option some more. The house came prewired for cameras so it came bundled with the RF cabling and some kind of 4 wire cable to each camera location. Seeing that I'm using IP cameras, I'll probably just...

    Fanless switch recommendations.

    Well not currently in use. I had bought a netgear switch with vlan capability to try out. So these two are just sitting around. I'm missing two screws on one of the rack mount brackets.

    My wiring nightmare

    I must have been delirious from lack of sleep but I realized I measured the depth of the switch wrong. LOL. Those rack enclosures are nice but I cannot seem to justify paying that much for one yet.

    My wiring nightmare

    Well, I get the pleasure to figure out how to clean up this mess of a wiring in our new home. I might build out a mini shelf/rack with the leftover MDF I have. I just have to figure out how I am going to reroute all the wiring and mount my huge honking 24 port POE switch.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Bullet Z5 7-35mm (IPC-HFW5231E-Z5)

    Based on the videos can you tell what might be possibly triggering the focus change? Do you think it might be the light sensor positioning?
